Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

References to the “Company,” “Prime Impact Acquisition I,” “Prime Impact,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Prime Impact Acquisition I. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filings.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 21, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is Prime Impact Cayman, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the initial public offering was declared effective on September 9, 2020 (the “Initial Public Offering”). On September 14, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.1 million, inclusive of approximately $10.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On October 2, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,408,414 units (the “Over-Allotment Units”). On October 6, 2020, we completed the sale of the Over-Allotment Units to the underwriters (the “Over-Allotment”), generating gross proceeds of approximately $24.1 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $1.3 million in underwriting fees (inclusive of approximately $0.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 5,400,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $8.1 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment Units, on October 6, 2020, we consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an additional 321,122 Private Placement Warrants by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $0.5 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $324.1 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and was invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. On September 15, 2022, the Company converted all of the assets held in the trust account into cash, which was deposited in a non-interest-bearing account. As of February 8, 2023, the Company deposited the assets held in the trust account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Interest on such deposit account is currently 3.25% per annum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate, and the Company cannot provide assurances that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Our initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount) at the time we sign a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, we will only complete a 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.

On September 13, 2022, we held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “General Meeting”) to consider and vote upon a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to: (i) extend from September 14, 2022 to December 14, 2022, the date (the “Termination Date”) by which, if we have not consummated a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving one or more businesses or entities, we must: (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares; and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law, provided that the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) deposits an amount into the Trust Account equal to the lesser of (A) US$1,120,000 or (B) $0.16 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the General Meeting, in exchange for one or more non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees), and (ii) in the event that the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by December 14, 2022, without further approval of the Company’s shareholders, to allow the Company, by resolution of the board of directors of the Company if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date to extend the Termination Date up to three times, each by one additional month (for a total of up to three additional months to complete a Business Combination), provided that the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account: (I) for the first such monthly extension, the lesser of (a) US$385,000 or (b) $0.055 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the General Meeting; (II) for the second such monthly extension, the lesser of (a) US$385,000 or (b) $0.055 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the General Meeting; and (III) for the third such monthly extension, the lesser of (a) US$385,000 or (b) $0.055 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the General Meeting, for an aggregate deposit of up to the lesser of: (x) $1,155,000 or (y) US$0.165 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the General Meeting, in exchange for one or more non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees). If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, it will, at the option of the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees), repay the amounts loaned under the promissory note(s) or convert a portion or all of the amounts loaned under such promissory note(s) into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Company’s initial public offering. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the deadline to consummate an initial Business Combination, such promissory notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account. On September 13, 2022 the shareholders voted to approve the extension proposal. In connection with the extraordinary general meeting and vote to extend the Termination Date, shareholders elected to redeem 25,614,246 Public Shares. Following these redemptions, approximately $69.4 million remains in the Trust Account and 6,794,168 Public Shares remain issued and outstanding.

On December 13, 2022, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $373,679 (representing $0.055 per public share) into the Company’s Trust Account for its Public Shareholders, extending the date by which the Company has to complete its initial Business Combination from December 14, 2022 to January 13, 2023. In January and February 2023, the Sponsor made two additional deposits of $373,679 each (representing $0.055 per public share) into the Company’s Trust Account for its Public Shareholders, extending the date by which the Company has to complete its initial Business Combination to March 13, 2023.

The Company held an extraordinary general meeting of Shareholders (the “General Meeting”) on March 8, 2023 for the purposes of considering and voting upon an extension of the date by which the Company has to complete its initial Business Combination from March 14, 2023 to April 14, 2023 (the “Termination Date”), and to allow the Company to further extend the Termination Date without shareholder approval for up to five additional times, each by one additional month (for a total of up to five additional months to complete a Business Combination). To extend to the Termination Date, and for each monthly extension thereafter, the Sponsor has agreed to deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of (A) US$210,000 or (B) $0.035 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with this General Meeting, in exchange for one or more non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes issued by the Company to the Sponsor. If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, it will, repay the amounts loaned under the promissory note(s) to the Sponsor. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the deadline to consummate an initial Business Combination, such promissory notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account. Shareholders approved the extension proposal. In connection with the General Meeting and vote to extend the Termination Date, shareholders elected to redeem 2,154,301 Public Shares. Following such redemptions, approximately $48.3 million remains in the Trust Account and 4,639,687 Public Shares remain issued and outstanding. In March 2023, the Sponsor made an additional deposit of $162,395 (representing $0.035 per public share) into the Company’s Trust Account for its Public Shareholders.

Further, in April, May, June, and July 2023, the Sponsor, deposited an additional $648,581 in the aggregate (representing $0.035 per public share) into the Company’s trust account for its public shareholders. These deposits enable the Company to extend the date by which the Company has to complete its initial business combination from April 14, 2023 to August 14, 2023. These Extensions are the first, second, third and fourth of five one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents and provides the Company with additional time to complete its initial business combination.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date, we 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), 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 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 (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

Proposed Business Combination

On January 29, 2023, the Company, Cheche Group Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdings”), Cheche Merger Sub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Holdings (“Merger Sub”), and Cheche Technology, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Cheche”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) on the Closing Date, the Company will merge with and into Holdings (the “Initial Merger”), with Holdings surviving the Initial Merger (Holdings, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the Initial Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”) and (b) on the Closing Date, following the Initial Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Cheche (the “Acquisition Merger”, and together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”), with Cheche surviving the Acquisition Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation (Cheche, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the Acquisition Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Subsidiary Company”). The Mergers, together with the other transactions related thereto, are referred to herein as the “Transactions.”

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Merger, including:(i) by mutual written consent of the Company and Cheche;(ii) by either party if the Acquisition Merger Effective Time has not occurred prior to September 13, 2023 (the “Outside Date”) subject to specified exceptions; (iii) by either party (i) upon rejection by China Cybersecurity Review Technology and Certificate Center of the Transactions under the New Measures for Cybersecurity Review, or (ii) if the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comment) shall have been formally enacted and become effective, and the Transactions are rejected by the China Securities Regulatory Commission; (iv) by either party if any governmental order has become final and non-appealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Transactions, including the Mergers, illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions or the Mergers; (v) by Cheche if any of the Company’s Required Proposals shall fail to receive the requisite vote for approval at the Company’s Shareholders’ Meeting (subject to any adjournment, postponement or recess of such meeting); (vi) by Cheche as a result of any breach by the Company, Holdings or Merger Sub of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company, Holdings or Merger Sub set forth in the Business Combination Agreement that gives rise to a failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) of the Business Combination Agreement, in each case, subject to specified exceptions; (vii)by the Company as a result of any breach by Cheche of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Cheche set forth in the Business Combination Agreement that gives rise to a failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b) of the Business Combination Agreement, in each case, subject to specified exceptions; (viii) by the Company at any time before Cheche delivers to the Company the requisite approval of the shareholders of Cheche, in the event that Cheche fails to deliver Written Consent constituting the requisite approval of the shareholders of Cheche to the Company within five (5) business days of the Registration Statement becoming effective; and (ix) by the Company at any time before Cheche delivers to the Company the PCAOB financial statements that are required to be included in the initial Registration Statement, in the event Cheche fails to deliver such financial statements within 75 days of the date of the Business Combination Agreement. If the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, none of the parties will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business Combination Agreement with certain limited exceptions, including liability arising out of any fraud or willful and material breach.

Concurrent with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, entered into an agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with the Company, Cheche and Holdings pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to (a) effective upon the Acquisition Closing, waive the anti-dilution rights set forth in the Company’s organizational documents to have the Company’s Founder Shares convert into Surviving Company Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Transactions at a ratio of greater than one-for-one; (b) vote all of the Company’s outstanding Founder Shares held by them in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions; (c) forfeit and surrender, for no consideration, effective as of immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, 2,557,736 of its Founder Shares and 2,860,561 Private Placement Warrants; (d) if the Aggregate Capital Raised is less than $50 million, forfeit and surrender, for no consideration, effective as of immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, an additional 1,203,315 Founder Shares; and (e) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Surviving Company Class A Ordinary Shares issuable to the Sponsor in the Initial Merger in respect of the Founder Shares held by Sponsor immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.

Concurrent with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Cheche delivered to the Company shareholder support agreements (the “Shareholder Support Agreements”) duly executed by certain shareholders of Cheche (the “Key Shareholders”) who own shares of Cheche share capital sufficient to approve the Transactions in accordance with Cheche’s organizational documents and applicable law. Pursuant to the Shareholder Support Agreements, among other things, the Key Shareholders agreed to: (a) within forty eight (48) hours after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC to execute and deliver a Written Consent approving the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions; and (b) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Surviving Company Class A Ordinary Shares and Surviving Company Class B Ordinary Shares issuable to such Key Shareholders in the Acquisition Merger in respect of the Company Ordinary Shares (after giving effect to the Conversion) and Cheche Founder Shares held by such Key Shareholders immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Shareholder Support Agreements.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $106,000 in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $6.5 million.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of Class B ordinary shares and a loan of approximately $98,000 pursuant to a promissory note issued to the Sponsor. We repaid the promissory note in full on September 16, 2020. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, our liquidity needs have been satisfied with the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in September 2022 (and amended on December 30, 2022), our Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $5.5 million, a portion of which is to be used to fund the extension deposits made to the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount borrowed under the loan agreement was approximately $3.5 million.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” our management has determined that the liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation date and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to complete a business combination by September 14, 2023, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. We have the option to extend the deadline by three successive one-month increments by making extension payments into the Trust Account through an additional extension loan from our Sponsor. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after September 14, 2023. Our management plans to continue its efforts to complete a Business Combination by September 14, 2023. We believe that the funds currently available to us outside of the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow us to operate until September 14, 2023; however, there can be no assurances that this estimate is accurate.

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

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from inception through June 30, 2023, related to our formation, the preparation for the Initial Public Offering, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We generated non-operating income in the form of investment income from the investments held in the Trust Account following the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of approximately $18,000, which consisted of approximately $444,000 in interest income from cash held in the Trust account, offset by approximately $396,000 in general and administrative expenses and $30,000 in administrative expenses—related party.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of approximately $3.3 million, which consisted of a non-operating gain of approximately $3.0 million from the changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately $430,000 in interest income from investments held in the Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $82,000 in general and administrative expenses and $30,000 in administrative expenses—related party.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of approximately $1.3 million, which consisted of a non-operating loss of approximately $330,000 from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $1.7 million in general and administrative expenses and $60,000 in administrative expenses-related party, offset by approximately $738,000 in interest income from investments held in the Trust Account.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of approximately $8.0 million, which consisted of a non-operating gain of approximately $7.9 million from the changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and approximately $461,000 in interest income from investments held in the Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $345,000 in general and administrative expenses and $60,000 in administrative expenses—related party.

24

Contractual Obligations

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

We entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to pay our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or our liquidation, the agreement will terminate.

The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering were entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% (approximately $6.5 million) was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and closing of sale of the Over-Allotment Units and 3.5% (approximately $11.3 million) was deferred. The deferred underwriting discounts and commissions will become payable to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination and will be paid from the amounts held in the Trust Account. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions.

In October and November 2022, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering waived all rights to the deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination, resulting in a gain from extinguishment of deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $454,000 and approximately $10,900,000 was recorded to Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption.

Critical Accounting Policies

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our 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 condensed 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. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A 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, Class A 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 the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, an aggregate of 4,639,867 and 6,794,168 Class A ordinary shares, respectively, subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option), we 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.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have 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. 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.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 16,523,926 ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

25

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

We issued 10,802,804 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares to investors in our Initial Public Offering and issued 5,721,122 Private Placement Warrants. All of our outstanding warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair value of Warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

JOBS Act

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

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our 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 has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

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 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our material risk factors are disclosed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in such filing. 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 an initial 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.

The current economic downturn may lead to increased difficulty in completing our initial business combination.

Our ability to consummate our initial business combination may depend, in part, on worldwide economic conditions. In recent months, we have observed increased economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad. Impacts of such economic weakness include:

These developments could lead to inflation, higher interest rates, and uncertainty about business continuity, which may adversely affect the business of our potential target businesses and create difficulties in obtaining debt or equity financing for our initial business combination, as well as leading to an increase in the number of public shareholders exercising redemption rights in connection therewith.

Recent volatility in capital markets and lower market prices for our securities may affect our ability to obtaining financing for our initial business combination through sales of shares of our common stock or issuance of indebtedness.

With uncertainty in the capital markets and other factors, financing for our initial business combination may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us could involve additional restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may limit the operations and growth of the surviving company of our initial business combination. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, we could face significant limitations on our ability to complete our initial business combination.

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

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

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating, among other items, to disclosures in SEC filings in connection with business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Business Combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rule Proposals, as proposed or as adopted, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs and time of negotiating and completing an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial business combination.

How are the funds in the Trust Account currently being held?

The funds in the Trust Account, since our IPO, were held in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), as of June 30, 2023, we liquidated the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and placed all funds in the Trust Account in a demand deposit account currently bearing 3.60% interest per annum.
