Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on April 22, 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock 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.

Recent Developments

On each of May 24, 2023, June 22, 2023 and July 24, 2023, an aggregate of $660,330 was deposited by the Sponsor into the Trust Account for the Company’s public shareholders, representing $0.033 per public share, which enabled the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its Business Combination by one month each time, from May 26, 2023 to June 26, 2023, June 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 and July 26, 2023 to August 26, 2023, respectively. As a result, the Company has until August 26, 2023 to complete its Business Combination.

On May 24, 2023, the Sponsor loaned $660,330 to the Company in order to support the extension of the Company’s deadline to complete its Business Combination to June 26, 2023 and caused $660,330 to be deposited in the Company’s Trust Account for its public shareholders. In connection with depositing $660,330, the Company issued to the Sponsor an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) with an original issue discount of ten percent (10.0%) and a principal amount of $726,363. The Extension Note bears interest at a rate of twenty percent (20.0%) per annum and will be due and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Business Combination is consummated and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. On each of June 22, 2023 and July 24, 2023, the Sponsor further loaned $660,330 to the Company under the Extension Note in order to support the extension from June 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 and from July 26, 2023 to August 26, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $1,618,460 of borrowings under the Extension Note. The original issue discount of $147,123 and $34,119 were recorded as interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023. As such, the carrying amount as of June 30, 2023 was $1,505,456.

On June 2, 2023, June 28, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Sponsor further loaned $30,330, $20,347 and $100,000, respectively, to the Company.

On August 2, 2023, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement regarding an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held at 11:00a.m., Eastern Time on August 22, 2023 (the “Extension Definitive Proxy”). The purpose of the Meeting is to consider and vote upon: (i) proposals to amend and restate (the “Charter Amendment”) the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to, among other things, modify the monthly amount that the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account in order to implement the board’s plan to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, in the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 21 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (August 26, 2023) (the “Current Termination Date”), if requested by the Sponsor and accepted by the Company, from $0.033 per outstanding share to the lesser of $0.033 per outstanding share and $225,000, and provide for up to nine additional one-month extensions (the termination date as so extended, the “Extended Termination Date”) by amending and restating the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”); (ii) a proposal to amend and restate (the “Trust Amendment”) the Company’s investment management trust agreement dated as of November 22, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”) by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) to allow the Company to extend the Combination Period up to nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time from August 26, 2023 to the Extended Termination Date by depositing into the Trust Account, for each one-month extension, the lesser of $0.033 per outstanding share and $225,000; and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Meeting, there are insufficient votes to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

The foregoing summary of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Extension Definitive Proxy.

Proposed Business Combination

On February 10, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Vahanna Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Roadzen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Roadzen”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”), a business combination between the Company and Roadzen will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Roadzen, with Roadzen surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company will change its name to Roadzen Inc. (“New Roadzen”). The Merger is expected to close during the third quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain governmental approvals and the required approval by the shareholders of Vahanna and Roadzen.

29

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of Roadzen common stock, including common stock converted from Existing Roadzen Preferred Stock (as defined below) immediately prior to the closing (collectively, the “Existing Roadzen Common Stock”), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion (on a fully-diluted basis) of an aggregate amount of 68,300,000 ordinary shares of New Roadzen, par value $0.0001 per share (“New Roadzen Ordinary Shares”). In addition, a certain number of the 68,300,000 New Roadzen Ordinary Shares will be reserved for future issuance following the Closing upon conversion, exercise, vesting and/or settlement of certain Roadzen RSUs (as defined below), Roadzen Warrants, and Roadzen Additional Equity Securities (as defined below) that will be assumed by New Roadzen at the Closing, in each case, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Each share of Existing Roadzen Common Stock owned by Roadzen as treasury stock will be canceled for no consideration.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the holders of less than 12,000,000 Class A ordinary shares have validly elected to redeem such shares as of two (2) business days immediately prior to the meeting of Company shareholders convened for the purposes of obtaining shareholder approval of the Merger (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”), and following (and subject to) receipt of shareholder approval of the Domestication (as defined below) at the Company Shareholder Meeting (the “Domestication Proposal”), at least one (1) business day prior to the Merger, Vahanna will continue out of the British Virgin Islands and become domesticated as a corporation in the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”) pursuant to Section 184 of the BVI Business Companies Act and Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as amended), respectively, and in connection therewith, adopt, upon the Domestication taking effect, a certificate of incorporation (the “Interim Charter”) in place of the memorandum and articles of association currently registered by the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands (the “Existing Charter”), and which will remove or amend those provisions of the Existing Charter that terminate or otherwise cease to be applicable as a result of the Domestication.

Assuming the Domestication Proposal is approved, and the Domestication occurs pursuant to the Merger Agreement, concurrent with the consummation of the Merger:

30

Equity Conversions

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Roadzen’s preferred stock (the “Existing Roadzen Preferred Stock”) will convert into one share of Existing Roadzen Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Preferred Conversion”).

In addition, as of the Effective Time:

New Incentive Plan

In connection with the Closing, the Company will adopt the New Incentive Plan (as defined in the Merger Agreement) subject to the Company’s receipt of requisite shareholder approval.

Consummation of the Transactions is generally subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, and conditions customary to special purpose acquisition companies, including (a) expiry or termination of all applicable waiting periods under HSR, (b) the absence of any law or governmental order, threatened or pending, preventing the consummation of the Merger, (c) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, (d) the New Roadzen Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Merger having been listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange LLC (“Nasdaq”) upon the Closing, and otherwise satisfying the applicable listing requirements of Nasdaq, (e) receipt of shareholder approval from shareholders of each of the Company and Roadzen for consummation of the Merger, (f) funds of at least $50,000,000 being available to the Company (after giving effect to payments in respect of any redemptions by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Merger and any financing received by Roadzen or the Company prior to Closing, and prior to an payment of any unpaid transaction expenses of the parties), (g) the consummation of the Domestication, if applicable, (h) the consummation of Roadzen’s acquisitions of Global Insurance Management Limited and National Automobile Club, each of which Roadzen has signed a definitive agreement to acquire, and (i) receipt of executed Lock-up Agreements from equityholders of Roadzen. In addition, Roadzen also has the right to not consummate the Merger if the Company has net tangible assets following the redemptions of less than $5,000,001.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing, including by mutual written consent, by written notice from either the Company or Roadzen to the other if the Company’s or Roadzen’s shareholders have not approved the Merger Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby, or if the Transactions have not been consummated on or prior to August 26, 2023 (subject to extensions for delays as set forth in the Merger Agreement).

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2023 as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the actual agreement. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were made as of a specified date, are modified or qualified by information in one or more confidential disclosure schedules prepared in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company, Roadzen or the other parties at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that the Company makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the SEC.

32

Support Agreement

In connection and concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain holders representing (a) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Existing Roadzen Common Stock and of Existing Roadzen Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, and (b) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Existing Roadzen Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, (collectively, the “Supporting Holders”) entered into a Support Agreement with the Company (the “Support Agreement”). Under the Support Agreement, the Supporting Holders agreed, among other things, to execute and deliver a written consent (a) adopting the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and (b) to effect the Preferred Conversion, in each case, not later than three (3) business days after the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

Lock-up Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain holders of Existing Roadzen Common Stock and Existing Roadzen Preferred Stock entered into certain lock-up agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”) with the Company and Roadzen. Prior to the Closing, Roadzen is obligated to use reasonable best efforts to cause all remaining equityholders of Roadzen to enter into a Lock-up Agreement. Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreements, certain holders of Restricted Securities (as defined therein) have agreed, among other things, to be subject to a lock-up period which will last from the Closing until the earliest of (x) the one (1) year anniversary of consummation of the Merger, (y) the date that the closing price of the New Roadzen Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 (as adjusted for share recapitalizations, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), for twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period following the 150th day following the Merger and (z) the consummation of a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange, reorganization, tender or exchange offer as the first step of a two-step transaction or other similar transaction that results in all of New Roadzen’s shareholders having the right to exchange their New Roadzen Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property; provided, however, that equityholders of Roadzen that held less than 5% of the equity securities of Roadzen (on a fully diluted basis) immediately prior to the Closing will be permitted to transfer and/or sell up to 25% of their New Roadzen Ordinary Shares after the date that is six (6) months following the consummation of the Merger.

Certain Engagements in Connection with the Merger

Mizuho, as the underwriter of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, is entitled, pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement, to receive a deferred underwriting commission of $6,525,000, and to receive a fee of $2,500,000 pursuant to the terms of its financial advisory engagement letter with the Company, in each case payable upon completion of the Merger.

33

The Company entered into a formal engagement with Marco Polo Securities Inc., a registered broker dealer (“Marco Polo”), with regards to the Merger with Roadzen, pursuant to which Marco Polo will be entitled to receive $2,500,000 success fee upon consummation of the Merger and customary expense reimbursements.

For additional information regarding the Merger Agreement, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2023 and the Company’s proxy statement/registration statement on Form S-4 initially filed with the SEC on February 14, 2023, as amended.

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, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below and search for an acquisition target. 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 on marketable securities held after 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 net income of $25,737, which consisted primarily of $2,278,504 of realized and unrealized gains on investments held in the Trust Account partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $2,200,505 and interest expense of $52,278. The period over period increase in formation and operating expenses related to costs in connection with the pending merger.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $116,702, which consisted primarily of $4,482,748 realized and unrealized gains on investments held in the Trust Account partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $4,313,793 and interest expense of $52,278. The period over period increase in formation and operating expenses related to costs in connection with the pending merger.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $89,914, which consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses of $242,566 which was partially offset by $152,652 of unrealized gains on investments held in the Trust Account.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $252,794, which consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses of $511,187 which was partially offset by $258,393 of unrealized gains on investments held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $77,197. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account and Working Capital Loans.

On November 26, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,010,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,610,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $200,100,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 8,638,500 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant generating gross proceeds of $8,638,500.

34

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $204,102,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $11,274,404 in transaction costs, including $3,480,000 of underwriting fees, $6,525,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $645,904 of other offering costs.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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.

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, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, on June 20, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $1,500,000 in the form of a non-interest bearing convertible promissory notes to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Company (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. Additionally, the Company may convert the unpaid principal balance into whole warrants (“Conversion Warrants”) to purchase Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per Conversion Warrant. The Conversion Warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,029,374 and $300,000, respectively, of borrowings under the convertible promissory note.

On May 24, 2023, the Sponsor loaned $660,330 to the Company in order to support the extension of the Company’s deadline to complete its Business Combination to June 26, 2023 and caused $660,330 to be deposited in the Company’s Trust Account for its public shareholders. In connection with depositing $660,330, the Company issued to the Sponsor an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) with an original issue discount of ten percent (10.0%) and a principal amount of $726,363. The Extension Note bears interest at a rate of twenty percent (20.0%) per annum and will be due and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Business Combination is consummated and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. On each of June 22, 2023 and July 24, 2023, the Sponsor further loaned $660,330 to the Company under the Extension Note in order to support the extension from June 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 and from July 26, 2023 to August 26, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $1,618,460 of borrowings under the Extension Note. The original issue discount of $147,123 and $34,119 were recorded as interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023. As such, the carrying amount as of June 30, 2023 was $1,505,456.

On June 2, 2023, June 28, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Sponsor further loaned $30,330, $20,347 and $100,000, respectively, to the Company.

35

We will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. Furthermore, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may need additional funds to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination.

If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $77,197 and $212,895,314 of investments in the Trust Account to be used for its Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem Public Shares in connection therewith.

The Company may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or its shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers and directors, the Sponsor or their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to meet its needs through the earlier of consummation of a Business Combination or 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination).

However, if the Company’s estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or if the Company’s shareholders approve an extension to the mandatory liquidation date beyond 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete a Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon completion of a Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, it will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.

If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” the Company has determined that the liquidity condition due to insufficient working capital 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 for at least one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination). The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

36

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 an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support services. On November 22, 2021, we entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with our Sponsor, pursuant to which we agreed to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000. On March 11, 2022, we entered into the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement, pursuant to which the monthly fee was increased to $20,000. This change was applied retroactively for the months of January and February 2022. We will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of our Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.30 per unit, or $6,525,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

We account for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 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’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company 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, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in the amount of $212,895,314 and $207,091,906, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share

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

The calculation of diluted income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with (i) the Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the sale of Private Placement Warrants since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
