Note 3— Initial Public Offering On January 24, 2022, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 day s after the completion of the initial Business Combination or twelve months from January 24, 2022, and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As of January 24, 2022, for an aggregate of 13 qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors who are not affiliated with the Sponsor or any member of the management (collectively, “Anchor Investors”), purchased 20,000,000 of the units in IPO (or 100 % of the units in IPO). The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Public Units to cover over-allotments. On February 1, 2022, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in part to purchase 1,930,000 Units, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 19,300,000 . The underwriter forfeited the remaining portion of the over-allotment option. Public Warrants Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities, excluding the forward purchase securities, for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance by the Sponsor in connection with such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares during the 10 -trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ 9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $ 10.00 and $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100 % and 180 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of its initial Business Combination and twelve months from the closing of this offering, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the sale, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the 17 warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the transfer of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 90 th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain an effective registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify for sale the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price for a warrant by surrendering each such warrant for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361 shares per whole warrant. The “fair market value” shall mean the per share volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent. Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $ 18.00 . Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants: •in whole and not in part; •at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant; •upon not less than 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and •if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on and including the third business days prior to the date the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant). Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $ 10.00 . Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants: • in whole and not in part; •for cash at a price of $ 0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares; and •if, and only if, the Reference Value (as defined above) equals or exceeds $ 10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant).
Note 4—Private Placement Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor, purchased an aggregate of 6,800,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one ordinary share at $ 11.50 per share, at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant, or $ 6,800,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement. On February 1, 2022, simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment, the Sponsor purchased an additional 579,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $ 579,000 . 18 The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO. If the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
Note 5—Related Party Transactions Founder Shares On March 5, 2021, the Sponsor paid $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.003 per share, to cover certain offering costs and formation costs in consideration for 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $ 0.0001 (“Founder Shares”). On August 16, 2021, pursuant to a downsize of the IPO, the Sponsor surrendered an aggregate of 1,437,500 Founder Shares for no consideration, which were cancelled, resulting in an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the surrender. On August 23, 2021, in connection with entering into forward purchase agreements, the Sponsor transferred to forward purchasers an aggregate of 825,000 Founder Shares for no cash consideration. On August 23, 2021, in connection with entering into forward purchase agreements, the Company issued 1,375,000 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration to the Sponsor, resulting in an aggregate of 7,125,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. On October 20, 2021 and October 21, 2021, in connection with entering into an additional forward purchase agreement, (i) the Company issued to a forward purchaser an aggregate of 375,000 Founder Shares at par value and the Sponsor surrendered to the Company the same number of Founder Shares for no cash consideration and (ii) the Company issued 625,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor for no consideration, resulting in an aggregate of 7,750,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the new issuance.On February 1, 2022, the Sponsor surrendered 267,500 of the Founder Shares for no consideration in connection with the underwriter’s forfeiture of its remaining over-allotment option that was not exercised at the Over-allotment Offering.In connection with the IPO, the Anchor Investors acquired from the Sponsor an aggregate of 1,427,250 Founder Shares, with an aggregate fair value of $ 10,304,745 . The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares over the purchase price was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments (i.e., public shares and Public Warrants) issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the public shares were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. The initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination; or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares (the “Lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) the Company consummates a transaction after its initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the Lock-up. Promissory Note—Related Party On March 5, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $ 300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the closing of the IPO. As of January 24, 2022, the closing of the IPO, the Company had borrowed $ 275,000 under the promissory note. On January 31, 2022, the Company fully repaid the note. 19 On July 21, 2023, the Company, issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, for a collective principal amount of $ 870,000 (the “Extension Note”). The Extension Note was non-interest bearing and shall be payable on the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). On July 21, 2023, the Company received the first drawdown of $ 125,000 under such loan. Using the amount received from Sponsor, the Company deposited $125,000 into the Trust Account on July 21, 2023, to extend the combination period until August 23, 2023.Working Capital Loans In order to fund working capital deficiencies or to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial 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. The terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. Administrative Service Fee Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company agreed pay to an affiliate of the Sponsor $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023,the Company incurred $ 30,000 and $ 60,000 , respectively, of such expenses, which was recorded as due to related party on the balance sheets. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from the Effective Date to June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $ 30,000 and $ 54,333 , respectively, of such expenses, which was recorded as due to related party on the balance sheets. On July 26, 2022, the affiliate of the Sponsor and the Company signed off a waiver letter pursuant that if the Business Combination is not completed, the affiliate of the Sponsor will waive all administrative support services liable by the Company.
Note 6—Commitments & Contingencies Registration and Shareholder Rights The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the IPO and (ii) Private Placement Warrants, which will be issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Underwriter Agreement The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 1, 2022, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in part to purchase 1,930,000 Units, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 19,300,000 . The underwriter forfeited the remaining portion of the over-allotment option. On January 24, 2022 and February 1, 2022, the Company paid cash underwriting commissions of $ 2,020,000 and $ 386,000 , respectively. The underwriter was entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of 3.5 % of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $ 7,675,500 , which will be paid from the funds held in the Trust Account upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. 20 On June 26, 2023, the Company and the underwriter entered into a fee reduction agreement (the “Fee Reduction Agreement”), pursuant to which the underwriter agreed to waive $ 4,675,500 of the deferred underwriter commission. Of the remaining deferred underwriter commission of $ 3,000,000 , parties agreed that, upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, (i) $ 1,000,000 shall be payable to underwriter in cash and (ii) 200,000 shares (with a nominal value of $ 10.00 per share, for an aggregate nominal value of $ 2,000,000 ) of either (1) Class A Ordinary Shares or (2) founder shares, shall be issued to the underwriter (with no guarantee following such issuance of the market value of such shares) (such shares were called “Granted Shares”). The Company accounted for the waived amount of $4,675,500 as a direct reversal of the original deferred underwriting fee transaction. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $126,472 as gain from debt forgiven and charged the remaining of $4,549,028 of such waived deferred underwriting commission into statement of equity. The share settlement portion of the Fee Reduction Agreement is representative of a share-based payment transaction in which the Company is acquiring services to be used within the Company’s operations and upon settlement agreeing to issue Class A Ordinary Shares or Founder Shares. In this case, the share settlement portion of the Fee Reduction Agreement is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the Fee Reduction Agreement executed date (the “Grant Date”). The Company used the public trading price of Class A ordinary shares at Grant Date to value the fair value of the Granted Shares. The fair value of the 200,000 Granted Shares was $2,104,000 in total, or $10.52 per share. The Fee Reduction agreement was executed on June 26, 2023, the underwriter has provided service to the Company prior to closing of the IPO and the Company has recorded $2,000,000 deferred liability for the share settlement portion of the Fee Reduction Agreement at the closing of the IPO. The fair value of Granted Shares in excess of the liability settled as a result of the Fee Reduction Agreement is considered de minimis; therefore, this amount was not reflected within the condensed statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.Forward Purchase Agreement The Company entered into forward purchase agreements with certain forward purchasers, pursuant to which the forward purchasers intend to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 of forward purchase units, consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share for a purchase price of $ 10.00 per forward purchase unit, or an aggregate amount of $ 80,000,000 , in a private placement to close concurrently with the closing of a Business Combination. The obligations under the forward purchase agreements will not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The forward purchase shares will be identical to the shares of Class A ordinary stock included in the Units being sold in the IPO, except that they will be subject to transfer restrictions and registration rights. The forward purchase warrants will have the same terms as the Public Warrants. The forward purchasers may purchase less than 8,000,000 forward purchase units in accordance with the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreements. In addition, the forward purchasers’ commitment under the forward purchase agreements will be subject to their rights to terminate their commitment at any time before we enter into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination. Anchor Investments As of June 30, 2023, 13 qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors who are not affiliated with the Sponsor or any member of the Company’s management (the “Anchor Investors”) have purchased an aggregate of 20,000,000 units in the IPO. At the closing of the IPO, each of the Anchor Investors were entitled to purchase from the Sponsor a number of Founder Shares equal to 10 % of the units each Anchor Investor is purchasing in the IPO, at a purchase price of approximately $ 0.01 per share, generating total proceeds of $ 14,273 , deposited into the Company’s operating bank account. However, two Anchor Investors have agreed that if such Anchor Investor owns less than the number of Class A ordinary shares it owns immediately after the IPO (i) at the time of any shareholder vote with respect to the initial Business Combination or (ii) on the business day immediately prior to the consummation of the initial business Combination, it will sell back to the Sponsor at approximately $ 0.01 per share the pro rata portion of the Founder 21 Shares it purchased from the Sponsor. However, each such Anchor Investor will be entitled to keep 50 % of the Founder Shares it originally purchased from the Sponsor in any event. Such founder shares purchased by such anchor investor will not be subject to any requirements to sell them back to the Sponsor. The Anchor Investors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them in favor of the initial Business Combination or to grant voting proxy to the Sponsor to vote any Founder Shares held by it on its behalf. However, because the Anchor Investors are not obligated to continue owning any public shares following the closing and are not obligated to vote any public shares in favor of the initial Business Combination, the Company cannot assure you that any of these Anchor Investors will be shareholders at the time the Company’s shareholders vote on the initial Business Combination, and, if they are shareholders, the Company cannot assure you as to how such Anchor Investors will vote on any Business Combination.

Holders are entitled to one vote for each share of Class B ordinary shares.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 7,482,500 Class B ordinary shares issued or outstanding.Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as required by law or the rules of NYSE then in effect. Unless specified in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by the shareholders.

In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20 % of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity- linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on less than a one-for-one basis

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands on March 3, 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the private placement of our private placement warrants, the sale of our shares in connection with the Business Combination (pursuant to backstop agreements which we currently have no plan of entering into but may enter into in the future or forward purchase agreements or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of the Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2023 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our IPO and to identify a target business for the Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after our IPO. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023. We expect that we will incur substantial 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.
26
On January 19, 2022, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-260431) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the IPO of the Company was declared effective by the SEC. On January 24, 2022, we consummated our IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit and a private placement of 6,800,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $206,800,000. A total of $202,000,000 in offering proceeds (the “Offering Proceeds”), comprised of the net proceeds of the IPO and certain proceeds from the Private Placement, was placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriter of the IPO, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”), $2,020,000 was paid to the underwriter and $1,412,619 was deducted for payment of the other offering expenses in connection with the IPO. The remaining $1,367,381 in Offering Proceeds was deposited in the operating bank to be used as our working capital.
On February 1, 2022, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in part to purchase 1,930,000 Units and forfeited the remaining portion of such option (the “Over-allotment Offering”). Concurrently with the underwriter’s exercise of such option, we consummated a private placement of 579,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Over-allotment Private Placement”). A total of $19,493,000, comprised of the net proceeds of the Over-allotment Offering and gross proceeds from the Over-allotment Private Placement, was placed in the Trust Account.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $4,355,247 which consisted of interest income and realized gain from sale of treasury securities of $2,680,608, unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants of $1,911,445 and gain from debt forgiven of $126,472, as offset by formation and operating costs of $363,278.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $4,699,686 which consisted of interest income and realized gain from sale of treasury securities of $5,121,773, gain from debt forgiven of $126,472 and unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants of $77,045, as offset by formation and operating costs of $625,604.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $2,530,057 which consisted of unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants of $2,476,440 and interest income and realized gain from sale of treasury securities of $317,432, as offset by formation and operating costs of $263,815.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $4,271,198, which consisted of unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants of $5,411,480 and interest income and realized gain from sale of treasury securities of $374,959 as offset by transaction costs allocable to warrants of $1,004,142 and formation and operating costs of $511,099.
Going Concern
Our liquidity needs prior to the IPO were satisfied through a payment from our Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares to cover certain offering costs, and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from our Sponsor of $275,000, which was fully repaid on January 31, 2022, after the closing of our IPO.
On January 24, 2022, we consummated our IPO of 20,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit and a Private Placement of 6,800,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $206,800,000. After deducting $202,000,000 in Offering Proceeds deposited into the Trust Account, $2,020,000 paid to the underwriter and $1,412,619 for payment of the other offering expenses in connection with the IPO, $1,367,381 was deposited into the operating bank account to be used as our working capital.
As of June 30, 2023, we held approximately $77,584 in our operating bank account. Our working capital deficit as of June 30, 2023 was $416,877.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $210,497. Net income of $4,699,686 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $5,121,773, gain from debt forgiven of $126,472 and change in fair value of warrant liability of $77,045. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $415,107 of cash for operating activities.
27
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $2,035,463. This was primarily attributable to our net income of $4,271,198 and transaction costs incurred in connection with IPO of $1,004,142, as offset by unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants of $5,411,480.
On July 21, 2023, the Company, issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, for a collective principal amount of $870,000 (the “Extension Note”). The Extension Note was non-interest bearing and shall be payable on the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). On July 21, 2023, the Company received the first drawdown of $125,000 under such loan. Using the amount received from Sponsor, the Company deposited $125,000 into the Trust Account on July 21, 2023, to extend the combination period until August 23, 2023.
We believe that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or up to 30 months from the consummation of the IPO if an extension has been made pursuant to the Articles Amendments. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective 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 Business Combination.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating the Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate the Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, our Sponsor, initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the 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. The terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.‌
Following the Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by August 23, 2023 (or July 23, 2024, subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust Account), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 23, 2023 (or July 23, 2024, subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust Account).
Off-Balance Sheet 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.
28
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2023, 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 or an affiliate thereof up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees on January 19, 2022 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,675,500 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account. The deferred commissions will be released to the underwriter only on and concurrently with completion of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
On June 26, 2023, we entered into a fee reduction agreement with the underwriter, pursuant to which, the underwriter agreed to waive $4,675,500 of the deferred underwriter commission. Of the remaining deferred underwriter commission of $3,000,000, parties agreed that, upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, (i) $ 1,000,000 shall be payable to underwriter in cash and (ii) 200,000 shares (with a nominal value of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate nominal value of $2,000,000) of either (1) Class A Ordinary Shares or (2) founder shares, shall be issued to the underwriter (with no guarantee following such issuance of the market value of such shares).
Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Offering Costs
We comply with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”, and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T – “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction of equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company has assessed the influence of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 and concluded that there’s no impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 since January 1, 2023.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.

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 Quarterly 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 current 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.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During our most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting 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.
There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we supplement the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the following risk factors. Any of the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or herein could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Risks Related to Acquiring and Operating a Business in China
A significant number of our management and investment team, directors and advisors are located in or have significant ties to China or Hong Kong, and we may seek to acquire a company with principal business operations in Mainland China or Hong Kong in an initial Business Combination. Because of such ties to China or Hong Kong, we may be subjected to the laws, rules and regulations of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Any risks that any actions by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers with principal business operations in Mainland China or Hong Kong could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
Contractual arrangements we enter into with potential future subsidiaries and affiliated entities or acquisitions of offshore entities that conduct operations through affiliates in the PRC may be subject to a high level of scrutiny by the relevant tax authorities.
Under the laws of the PRC, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the relevant tax authorities. If any of the transactions we enter into with potential future subsidiaries and affiliated entities are found not to be on an arm’s-length basis, or to result in an unreasonable reduction in tax under local law, the relevant tax authorities may have the authority to disallow any tax savings, adjust the profits and losses of such potential future local entities and assess late payment interest and penalties. A finding by the relevant tax authorities that we are ineligible for any such tax savings, or that any of our possible future affiliated entities are not eligible for tax exemptions, would substantially increase our possible future taxes and thus reduce our net income and the value of a shareholder’s investment. In addition, in the event that in connection with an acquisition of an offshore entity that conducted its operations through affiliates in the PRC, the sellers of such entities failed to pay any taxes required under local law, the relevant tax authorities could require us to withhold and pay the tax, together with late-payment interest and penalties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a negative impact on our operating results and financial condition.
General Risk Factors
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete the Business Combination.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:
•restrictions on the nature of our investments; and
•restrictions on the issuance of securities,
each of which may make it difficult for us to complete the Business Combination.
31
In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:
•registration as an investment company with the SEC;
•adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and
•reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations to which we are not currently subject.
In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for another exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Our business will be to identify and complete a Business Combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term. We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.
As indicated above, we completed our IPO in January 2022 and have operated as a blank check company searching for a target business with which to consummate an initial Business Combination since such time (or approximately 16 months after the effective date of our IPO, as of the date of this proxy). There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC. It is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company, including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, based on the current views of the SEC. If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company. If we are required to liquidate the Company, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning shares in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our shares and warrants following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, instruct the Trustee (as defined below) to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation.
The funds in the Trust Account have, since our IPO, been held only 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 under the Investment Company Act, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, or January 23, 2024, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to maintain the funds in the trust account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or the liquidation of our Company. Interest on such deposit account is currently approx. 4.0-4.5% per annum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate and we cannot assure you that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly. As a result, any decision to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company.
In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate our Company. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, even prior to the Shareholder Meeting, and
32
instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items which would further reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our security holders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.
We may not be able to complete an initial Business Combination with a U.S. target company if such initial Business Combination is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations or review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).
Our Sponsor is controlled by, and has substantial ties with, non-U.S. persons domiciled principally in Hong Kong. Acquisitions and investments by non-U.S. Persons in certain U.S. businesses may be subject to rules or regulations that limit foreign ownership. In addition, CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving investments by foreign persons in U.S. businesses that have a nexus to, amongst other things, critical technologies, critical infrastructure and/or sensitive personal data in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. For so long as our Sponsor retains a material ownership interest in us, we may be deemed a “foreign person” under such rules and regulations, any proposed Business Combination between us and a U.S. business engaged in a regulated industry or which may affect national security could be subject to such foreign ownership restrictions, CFIUS review and/or mandatory filings. If our potential initial Business Combination with a U.S. business falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions, we may be unable to consummate an initial Business Combination with such business. In addition, if our potential Business Combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial Business Combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial Business Combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial Business Combination or order us to divest all or a portion of any U.S. business of the combined company if we proceed without first obtaining CFIUS clearance. These potential limitations and risks may limit the attractiveness of a transaction with us or prevent us from pursuing certain initial Business Combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial Business Combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues. Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial Business Combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive their pro rata share of amounts held in the trust account, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
If CFIUS elects to review a Business Combination, the time necessary to complete such review of the Business Combination or a decision by CFIUS to prohibit the Business Combination could prevent us from completing a Business Combination prior to August 23, 2023 or any Articles Extension Date, as applicable.
If we are not able to consummate a Business Combination by August 23, 2023 or any Articles Extension Date, as applicable, 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares in issue, 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 Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and to requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. Finally, the Company’s public shareholders will not receive the benefit of any price appreciation of our Public Shares that might result from a Business Combination with a target company.
33
The SEC issued proposed rules relating to certain activities of SPACs. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Business Combination target or others may determine to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete our initial Business Combination and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial Business Combination. The need for compliance with the SPAC Proposed Rules may cause us to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account by redeeming our Public Shares or liquidating our Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose.
On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Proposed Rules”) relating to, among other things, disclosures in SEC filings in connection with Business Combination transactions between special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) such as us and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs 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 of 1940, as amended (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. The SPAC Proposed Rules have not yet been adopted, and may be adopted in the proposed form or in a different form that could impose additional regulatory requirements on SPACs. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Business Combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Proposed Rules, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Proposed Rules, 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. The need for compliance with the SPAC Proposed Rules may cause us to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account by redeeming our Public Shares or liquidating the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales
The Company made no unregistered sales of equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Use of Proceeds
On January 24, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 20,000,000 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per public share and the Private Placement of 6,800,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $206,800,000.
On February 1, 2022, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased 1,930,000 Over-Allotment Units, generating additional gross proceeds of $19,300,000. The underwriter forfeited the remaining portion of the over-allotment option. On February 1, 2022, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Sponsor purchased an additional 579,000 Over-Allotment Private Placement Warrants in a private placement, generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $579,000.
Following the closing of the IPO on January 24, 2022 and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option on February 1, 2022, $221,493,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO, Over-Allotment Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited in the Trust Account, and was invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 180 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Memorandum and Articles (see Note 1, Organization, Business Operation and Going Concern, for more information).
34
The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $21,942,071 as a result of the IPO, consisting of $2,406,000 of underwriting commissions, $7,675,500 of deferred underwriting commissions, $10,290,473 of incentives to Anchor Investors and $1,570,098 of other offering costs. The Company’s remaining cash after payment of the IPO costs is held outside the Trust Account for working capital purposes.
There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from such use as described in our final prospectus related to the IPO.

Question: What is the total profit earned from sales of equity securities since the IPO launched and the subsequent release of Over-Allotment Units, before considering any costs and tax payments in USD?

Python solution:
def solution():
     #Define variables name and value
    IPO_profit = 206800000
    Over_Allotment_Units_profit = 19300000
    Over_Allotment_Private_Placement_Warrants_profit = 579000

    #Do math calculation to get the answer
    total_profit = IPO_profit + Over_Allotment_Units_profit + Over_Allotment_Private_Placement_Warrants_profit
    answer = total_profit
    return answer


Answer: 226679000
