Overview

Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on February 19, 2021. 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 an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risk associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 19, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”) described below and seeking an initial business combination following the IPO. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non- operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is Fifth Wall Acquisition Sponsor III LLC, a Cayman Islands exempted limited company (our “sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on May 24, 2021. On May 27, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 27,500,000 Public Shares, including 2,500,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $275.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $16.1 million, of which approximately $9.6 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 907,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to our sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $9.1 million.

Upon the closing of the IPO, management agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.00 per Public Share sold in the IPO, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Shares, are held in the Trust Account, located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and is invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a- 7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

19

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating an initial business combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete an initial business combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into an initial business combination. However, the Company will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

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

The Public Shares were classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from The Company will proceed with an initial business combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of an initial business combination and, only if a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting are voted in favor of the initial business combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law 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 which the Company adopted upon the consummation of the IPO (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing an initial business combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, 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. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or vote at all. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with an initial business combination, the Initial Shareholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of an initial business combination. In addition, the Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of an initial business combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of its initial business combination and does not conduct redemptions in connection with its initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides 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 Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the IPO, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s officers and directors and our sponsor (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of its Public Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or May 27, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), or with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of public shareholders, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

20

If the Company has not completed an initial 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 taxes that were paid by the Company or are payable by the Company, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Shareholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete an initial 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 (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our 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 our sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or 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.

Proposed Merger

On December 13, 2022, the Company (together with its successors, including after the Domestication (as defined below)), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Queen Merger Corp. I, a Maryland corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Mobile Infrastructure Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“MIC”). The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (defined below), will constitute an “initial business combination” as contemplated by the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and is referred to herein as the “Merger”.

On March 23, 2023, the Company, Merger Sub and MIC entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “First Amendment”) to, among other things, clarify the intended tax treatment of the Merger, expand the size of the post-closing board of directors, and revise certain pre-closing reorganizational steps of MIC affiliates.

The Mergers

The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions: (i) the Company will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Maryland and will domesticate by means of a corporate conversion (the “Domestication”) to a Maryland corporation (“Surviving Pubco”) in accordance with Title 3, Section 9 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended (the “MGCL”), and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised), and, in connection with the Domestication, (A) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Shares”) will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Surviving Pubco (the “Surviving Pubco Shares”); and (B) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one Surviving Pubco Share; and (ii) following the Domestication, (A) Merger Sub will merge with and into MIC in accordance with the MGCL (the “First Merger”), with MIC continuing as the surviving entity (the “First-Step Surviving Company”) and (B) immediately following the effectiveness of the First Merger, the First-Step Surviving Company will merge with and into Surviving Pubco in accordance with the MGCL (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Surviving Pubco continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second-Step Surviving Company”).

Our sponsor also has agreed to certain restrictions with respect to its Founder Shares, as follows: (a) 1,658,750 Founder Shares will vest at such time as the aggregate volume-weighted average price per Surviving Pubco Share for any 5-consecutive trading day period after the date on which the Closing occurs (the “Closing Date”) equals or exceed $16.00 per share (provided that such Founder Shares will be cancelled if the Founder Shares have not vested prior to December 31, 2026), (b) 1,658,750 Founder Shares will vest at such time as the aggregate volume-weighted average price per Surviving Pubco Share for any 5-consecutive trading day period after the Closing Date equals or exceeds $20.00 per share (provided that such Founder Shares will be cancelled if the Founder Shares have not vested prior to December 31, 2028), (c) our sponsor will deliver to the Company for cancellation and for no consideration 1,375,000 Founder Shares and any portion of 2,062,500 Founder Shares not transferred to third-party investors in connection with the Closing, and (d) if the aggregate cash proceeds generated from additional Subscription Agreements (defined below) entered into with other investors ( the “PIPE Investments”) (excluding the Initial PIPE Investment (defined below) and PIPE Investments by MIC’s directors, officers and affiliates) and any other third-party financing (other than debt financing) to be funded at the Closing are less than $40,000,000, our sponsor will deliver to the Company for cancellation and for no consideration 1,375,000 Founder Shares, which number of shares shall be reduced to 1,000,000 Founder Shares if such cash proceeds at Closing equal or exceed $40,000,000 but are less than $50,000,000. If earlier, the Founder Shares described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall vest on the date after the Closing on which Surviving Pubco (or its successors) completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of Surviving Pubco’s (or its successor’s) stockholders having the right to exchange their Surviving Pubco Shares for cash, securities or other property.

On May 11, 2023, parties to that certain Sponsor Agreement dated December 13, 2022, by and among the Company, its officers and directors, and MIC, amended and restated the Sponsor Agreement in its entirety to clarify certain voting obligations of the parties thereto with respect to securities of the Company acquired after the Initial Public Offering.

(collectively, the “Initial PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Initial PIPE Investor has agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Initial PIPE Investor an aggregate of 1,200,000 Surviving Pubco Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per 1.2 shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Initial PIPE Investment”). The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial PIPE Investor, on the other hand, and customary conditions to closing, including the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Surviving Pubco Shares to be issued and sold to the Initial PIPE Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscription Agreement provides the Initial PIPE Investor with certain customary registration rights. The Subscription Agreement further provides that one-sixth of the Surviving Pubco Shares issued to the PIPE Investors will be subject to certain transfer restrictions.

On June 15, 2023, the Company and the Initial PIPE Investor agreed to terminate the Initial PIPE Subscription Agreement, by mutual consent, pursuant to Section 9(b) thereof and Section 16 of the New PIPE Subscription Agreements.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from February 19, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 was in preparation for our formation, the Initial Public Offering and, thereafter, seeking an initial Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of approximately $1.6 million, which consisted of approximately $2.8 million in income from investments held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $1.1 million of general and administrative expenses, and approximately $53,000 in related party general and administrative expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of approximately $239,000, which consisted of approximately $288,000 of general and administrative expenses, and $75,000 in general and administrative expenses—related party, partially offset by approximately $125,000 in income from investments held in Trust Account.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of approximately $3.1 million, which consisted of approximately $5.6 million in income from investments held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $2.4 million of general and administrative expenses, and approximately $105,000 in related party general and administrative expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of approximately $592,000, which consisted of approximately $723,000 of general and administrative expenses, and $105,000 in general and administrative expenses—related party, partially offset by approximately $131,000 in income from investments held in Trust Account.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $55,000 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $3.6 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2023 have been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 by the Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of approximately $109,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note, and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note on May 28, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the liquidity needs, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 27, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to complete an initial business combination before the mandatory liquidation date. On May 1, 2023, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement seeking approval from its shareholders to, among other things, amend the governing documents of the Company to extend the mandatory liquidation date from May 27, 2023 to September 15, 2023 to provide additional time for the Company to complete an initial business Combination. The Company shareholder meeting to vote on such amendments is scheduled for May 17, 2023. Over this time period, the Company will be using the funds outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial business combination.

Contractual Obligations

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon consummation of the IPO. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registered such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial business combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, in accordance with the letter agreement the Company’s Initial Shareholders entered into and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Shares, 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

24

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the IPO to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Public Shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 27, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,500,000 Class A Shares.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Public Share, or $5.5 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, $0.35 per Public Share, or approximately $9.6 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. 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 an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement; however, subsequent to the entry into the underwriting agreement, each of the underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account regardless of whether Company completes an initial business combination.

On February 24, 2023, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., an underwriter to the Company’s IPO, waived its entitlement to its portion of its deferred underwriting fee payable upon consummation of an initial business combination pursuant to the underwriting agreement. As a result, there were no outstanding payable to underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions as of June 30, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Investments Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A Shares are subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Shares (including Class A 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, Class A Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s redeemable Class A Shares sold as part of the IPO, feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 441,302 and 27,500,000 Class A Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ (deficit) equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the IPO (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

25

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation assumes a business combination as the most likely outcome. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent accounting standards

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023 because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for extinguishment of a significant contingent obligation was not effectively designed or maintained. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022. As a result, our management performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, result of operations and cash flows of the periods presented. Management understands that the accounting standards applicable to our financial statements are complex and has since the inception of the Company benefited from the support of experienced third-party professionals with whom management has regularly consulted with respect to accounting issues. Management intends to continue to further consult with such professionals in connection with accounting matters.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as noted below.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including consulting with subject matter experts related to the accounting for extinguishment of a significant contingent obligation. The Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

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

On May 27, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 27,500,000 Public Shares, including 2,500,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $275.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $16.1 million, of which approximately $9.6 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. The registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-255292) for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 24, 2021. Deutsche Bank Securities, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and BofA Securities acted as book-running managers for the Initial Public Offering.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement of 907,000 Class A ordinary shares, at a price of $10.00 per share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $9.1 million. Such securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

27

A total of $275,000,000 of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (which includes the underwriters’ deferred discount of $9,625,000) was placed in a trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

Item 5. Other Information.

On February 13, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq Capital Market. On March 23, 2023, the Company submitted a compliance plan to Nasdaq and on April 13, 2023, Nasdaq granted the Company until August 14, 2023 to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. At that time, the Company may appeal the determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
