ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business
Introduction
two (“TWOA”) is a blank check company incorporated on January 15, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. TWOA has generated no operating revenues to date and will not generate operating revenues until consummating an initial business combination.
Initial Public Offering
In connection with TWOA’s organization, a total of 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”) were sold to TWOA’s Initial Shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On March 8, 2021, two sponsor, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Original Sponsor”) transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of Michelle Gill, Ryan Petersen and Laura de Petra, and 30,000 Founder Shares to Pierre Lamond.
On April 1, 2021, TWOA consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 20,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (“Public Shares”), at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.1 million (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter), of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on April 13, 2021, purchased an additional 1,437,500 Public Shares, generating gross proceeds of approximately $14.4 million.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, TWOA consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 600,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (“Private Placement Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Original Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment (the “Over-Allotment”) on April 13, 2021, TWOA consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 28,750 Private Placement Shares by the Original Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to TWOA of $287,500.
Upon the closings of the IPO, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placements, $214.4 million (or $10.00 per share) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Shares in the IPO and of the Private Placement Shares in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee, and were originally invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations and later moved to cash demand accounts, until the earlier of (i) the completion of an initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.
Waiver of Deferred Underwriting Fee
On February 14, 2023, TWOA received a letter from Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the representative of the underwriters of TWOA’s IPO (“Citi”), formally waiving any entitlement to its deferred underwriting fee in connection with its role as the underwriter in the IPO. The letter was requested by TWOA based on its understanding that Citi would not have a role or provide any back-end support in connection with TWOA’s proposed initial business combination. On November 22, 2023, TWOA received an email from Citi, in which it confirmed to TWOA that Citi had not acted, and would not act, on behalf of or for TWOA in connection with TWOA’s initial business combination.
Extension Meetings
On March 31, 2023, TWOA held an extraordinary general meeting of TWOA’s shareholders (the “First Extension Meeting”), at which its shareholders approved, among others, a proposal to extend the date TWOA would be required to consummate a business combination from April 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of TWOA (the “TWOA Board”)).
On December 29, 2023, TWOA held an extraordinary general meeting of TWOA’s shareholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”), at which its shareholders approved, among others, a proposal to extend the date TWOA would be required to consummate a business combination from January 1, 2024 to July 1, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the TWOA Board). In connection with the First Extension Meeting and the Second Extension Meeting, holders of Public Shares of TWOA (the “Public Shareholders”) holding an aggregate of 16,437,487 and 808,683 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, respectively. Following the redemptions, there were 4,191,330 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and 5,359,375 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
Sponsor Takeover
On March 31, 2023, 3,347,611 Class B Ordinary Shares were purchased by HC PropTech Partners III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) from the Original Sponsor. An aggregate of 145,000 Class B Ordinary Shares were transferred by the Sponsor to TWOA’s directors and advisors in August 2023 and January 2024.
Business Combination with LLP
Business Combination Agreement
On August 15, 2023, TWOA announced the execution of a definitive business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with LatAm Logistic Properties, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of Panama (together with its successors, “LLP”), and by a joinder agreement, each of Logistic Properties of the Americas, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), Logistic Properties of the Americas Subco, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“SPAC Merger Sub”), and LPA Panama Group Corp., a company incorporated under the laws of Panama and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”), for a proposed business combination among the parties (the “Business Combination”).
Under the Business Combination Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), among other matters, (a) SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into TWOA, with TWOA continuing as the surviving company (the “SPAC Merger”), and, in connection therewith, each issued and outstanding security of TWOA immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”) will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of Pubco; (b) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into LLP, with LLP continuing as the surviving company (the “Company Merger,” and, together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”), and, in connection therewith, the LLP shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled in exchange for the right of the holders thereof to receive ordinary shares of Pubco (“Pubco Ordinary Shares”); and (c) as a result of the Mergers, TWOA and LLP will each become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco Ordinary Shares will be listed on The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the documents and agreements ancillary to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Ancillary Documents”), and in accordance with applicable law (collectively, the “Transactions”).
The total consideration to be paid to LLP’s shareholders at the Closing (the “Merger Consideration”) will be an amount equal to $286,000,000, payable in newly issued Pubco Ordinary Shares, each valued at $10.00. As a result, 28,600,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares will be issued to the LLP Shareholders and up to 9,550,705 Pubco Ordinary Shares will be issued to TWOA shareholders upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
Ancillary Documents
In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been or will be entered into prior to the Closing, including the Voting Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement, the Amendment to Insider Letter Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Founder Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, and the Sponsor Letter Agreement.
Lock-Up Agreement
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, LLP’s majority shareholder entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with TWOA and by a joinder agreement, Pubco (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, such LLP shareholder agreed not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and ending on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing or earlier, if Pubco consummates a third-party tender offer, stock sale, liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of Pubco’s shareholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in Pubco for cash, securities or other property (and, with respect to 50% of such restricted securities, subject to early release if the last trading price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 180 days after the Closing): (i) lend, offer, pledge, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any restricted securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such restricted securities, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of the restricted securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (in each case, subject to certain limited permitted transfers, provided that the transferred shares will continue to be subject to the Lock-Up Agreement).
Voting Agreement
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, TWOA and LLP entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with LLP’s majority shareholder, which holds voting power sufficient to approve the Transactions. Under the Voting Agreement, such LLP shareholder agreed, among other matters, to vote all of such LLP shareholder’s shares of LLP in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions, and to otherwise take (or not take, as applicable) certain other actions in support of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions and the other matters to be submitted to the LLP Shareholders for approval in connection with the Transactions, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreement prevents transfers of the LLP shares held by such LLP shareholder between the date of the Voting Agreement and the date of Closing, except for certain permitted transfers where the recipient also agrees to comply with the terms of the Voting Agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
At or prior to the Closing, certain LLP Shareholders will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Pubco and TWOA, in form and substance to be mutually agreed by LLP and TWOA (each acting reasonably), pursuant to which, among other matters, such LLP Shareholders will be granted substantially the same priorities and registration rights as the Sponsor and other “Holder” parties under the Founder Registration Rights Agreement, as amended by the Founder Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, and which Registration Rights Agreement will become effective as of the Closing.
Founder Registration Rights Agreement Amendment
At or prior to the Closing, Pubco, TWOA and the Sponsor (as well as any other parties necessary to effect such amendment) will enter into an amendment, in form and substance to be mutually agreed by LLP and TWOA, each acting reasonably (the “Founder Registration Rights Agreement Amendment”), to the registration rights agreement entered into by TWOA, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto at the time of TWOA’s IPO (the “Founder Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Founder Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, the Founder Registration Rights Agreement will be amended to, among other things, add Pubco as a party and to reflect the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and to reconcile with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.
Sponsor Letter Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, LLP and, by a joinder agreement, Pubco, entered into, the Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed that, with respect to the 3,852,611 Class B Ordinary Shares that it owns (together with any Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in exchange therefor in the SPAC Merger, the “Sponsor Founder Shares”), it will (a) retain a number of such Sponsor Founder Shares equal to 2,652,611 shares (the “Baseline Retained Founder Shares”), plus 0.048 Sponsor Founder Shares for each dollar of Additional Capital (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) above $25,000,000 (up to a maximum amount equal to the total 3,852,611 Sponsor Founder Shares less any Additional Transferred Shares (as defined below)), and any such Sponsor Founder Shares not retained will be surrendered by the Sponsor to Pubco as of the Closing, and (b) if TWOA seeks an amendment of its organizational documents to extend its deadline to consummate its initial business combination beyond January 1, 2024, the Sponsor will agree to transfer to the Public Shareholders or surrender and cancel up to 500,000 Sponsor Founder Shares (the “Additional Transferred Shares”) as may be necessary in order to obtain such extension, and the Baseline Retained Founder Shares will be increased by one share for each two Additional Transferred Shares.
Amendment to Insider Letter Agreement
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement or shortly thereafter, TWOA, the Sponsor, the Original Sponsor, and certain other TWOA shareholders and, by a joinder agreement, Pubco, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment to Letter Agreement”) to the insider letter agreement entered into in connection with TWOA’s Initial Public Offering (the “Insider Letter”). The Amendment to Letter Agreement (i) adds Pubco as a party to the Insider Letter, (ii) revises the terms of the Insider Letter to reflect the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares in exchange for the TWOA Ordinary Shares, (iii) amends the terms of the lock-up set forth in the Insider Letter to conform with the lock-up terms in the Lock-Up Agreement described above, and (iv) provides LLP with the ability to enforce prior to the Closing the lock-up and voting provisions of the Insider Letter. TWOA has committed to cause additional shareholders of TWOA to execute the Amendment to Letter Agreement following the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and prior to the Closing.
Letter of Transmittal
At the Closing, each LLP Shareholder will provide Pubco a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably requested, entitling such LLP Shareholder to receive its pro rata share of the Merger Consideration.
For a description of the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillar Documents, please read the Registration Statement on Form (including a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus), and amendments thereto, initially filed by Pubco with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 8, 2023 (File No. 333-275972) in connection with the Transactions (the “F-4”).
Interests of TWOA’s Directors, Officers and Advisors in the Business Combination
In considering the recommendation of the TWOA Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, Public Shareholders should be aware that TWOA’s Initial Shareholders and the Sponsor have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of TWOA’s other shareholders generally. TWOA’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to TWOA’s shareholders that they approve the Business Combination. Public Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination or to exercise their right of redemption. For a description of these interests, please refer to the.
Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination
TWOA is seeking shareholder approval of the Business Combination at an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and, in connection with such meeting, Public Shareholders may redeem their Ordinary Shares for cash in accordance with the procedures described in the. TWOA’s Initial Shareholders and the Current Insiders have agreed in the Insider Letter Agreement (i) to vote the Founder Shares and any other Ordinary Shares owned by the Initial Shareholders and the Sponsor in favor of the Business Combination; and (ii) not to redeem any Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, including the Business Combination. As a result of redemptions in connection with the First Extension Meeting and the Second Extension Meeting, the Initial Shareholders and the Current Insiders collectively own approximately 56.1% of TWOA’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, other than the shares held by the Initial Shareholders and the Current Insiders, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor of each of the proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
TWOA will not complete the Business Combination (or any other proposed initial business combination, if the Business Combination is not completed) if TWOA does not have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either before or after such consummation. Additionally, the Business Combination will only be completed if TWOA obtains approval from a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Redemption Rights
In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, Public Shareholders (but not TWOA’s Initial Shareholders or the Sponsor) may seek to exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for the Redemption Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TWOA’s Initial Shareholders and the Sponsor have agreed, pursuant to the Insider Letter Agreement, not to exercise their rights to redeem any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them for the Redemption Price. Redemption rights of Public Shareholders, if properly exercised in the manner described in the will be effected under the Current Charter and Cayman Islands law. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, Public Shareholders have the ability to vote for or against the Business Combination and still seek redemption of their Public Shares.
TWOA’s Initial Shareholders, the Sponsor, and TWOA’s directors and officers will not have redemption rights with respect to any Ordinary Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly, whether acquired prior to the IPO or purchased by them in the IPO or in the aftermarket.
Pursuant to the Current Charter, a Public Shareholder may request that TWOA redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated, subject to certain limitations, for cash equal to the applicable Redemption Price; provided, however, that TWOA may not redeem such shares if such redemption would result in TWOA not having net tangible assets (as determined under the Exchange Act) of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination.
Limitation on Redemption Rights
In connection with the Business Combination a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption of its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO. TWOA believes the restriction described above will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to redeem their shares as a means to force us or TWOA’s management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO could threaten to exercise its redemption rights against an initial business combination if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us or TWOA’s management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting TWOA’s shareholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in the IPO, TWOA believes that it will limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block TWOA’s ability to complete TWOA’s initial business combination, particularly in connection with an initial business combination with LLP that requires as a closing condition that TWOA has a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash, such as the Business Combination. However, we would not be restricting TWOA’s shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including all shares held by those shareholders that hold more than 15% of the shares sold in the IPO) for or against TWOA’s initial business combination.
Redemption of Public Shares if No Business Combination
If TWOA does not complete a business combination by July 1, 2024 (unless such date is extended by TWOA pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, or otherwise by TWOA’s shareholders), TWOA 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 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to us to pay TWOA’s tax obligations and less up to $100,000 of interest we may use for TWOA’s dissolution expenses, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of TWOA’s remaining shareholders and the TWOA Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject (in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above) to TWOA’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Prior to such redemption of Public Shares, TWOA would be required to assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us by TWOA’s creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts, as creditors take priority over the Public Shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. There can be no assurances that TWOA will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, TWOA’s shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event we enter an insolvent liquidation. Furthermore, while we will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist us in any way in connection with TWOA’s search for LLP) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would conclude that such agreements are legally enforceable.
Each of TWOA’s Initial Shareholders and the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to participate in any liquidation of TWOA’s Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares.
The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of TWOA’s creditors which would be prior to the claims of the Public Shareholders. Although TWOA will seek to have all vendors, including lenders for money borrowed, prospective target businesses or other entities we engage execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary duty or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with a claim against TWOA’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refused to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, TWOA would perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it if it chooses not to engage such third party and evaluate if such engagement would be in the best interest of the Public Shareholders if such third party refused to waive such claims. Examples of possible instances where TWOA may engage a third party that refused to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a provider of required services willing to provide the waiver. In any event, TWOA’s management would perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and would only enter into an agreement with a third party that did not execute a waiver if management believed that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to TWOA than any alternative. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with TWOA and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason.
The Sponsor has agreed that, if TWOA liquidates the Trust Account prior to the consummation of a business combination, it will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by TWOA for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to TWOA in excess of the net proceeds of the IPO not held in the Trust Account, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debts or obligations do not reduce the amounts in the Trust Account and only if such parties have not executed a waiver agreement. However, there can be no assurances that TWOA will be able to satisfy those obligations if it is required to do so.
Business Combination Criteria
Consistent with our business strategy, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective businesses. If the Business Combination with LLP is not completed, we will use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating acquisition opportunities, but we may decide to enter into our initial business combination with a business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines.
● Focus: We intend to seek companies in the technology industry. We have an accomplished track record of founding, operating, and investing in this industry and expect to focus on businesses that engage with technology to serve customers in a novel and transformational manner. We believe our management team’s expertise and understanding of innovative businesses will be paramount in identifying and assessing initial business combination candidates.
● Stage: We intend to seek companies that have potential to, are poised to, or are currently undergoing rapid adoption, implementation, or distribution of their offering. We believe that our management team’s collective experiences engaging with innovative businesses positions us well to identify, nurture, and expand high potential businesses.
● Management Team: We intend to seek companies with experienced, dynamic management teams, many of whom will be founders of the businesses themselves. We intend to devote significant resources to analyzing and reaching alignment with a partner company’s management and its stakeholders and expect to work closely and collaboratively with the management team to arrive at a mutually satisfactory outcome.
● Opportunity to add value: We intend to seek businesses in which we believe we can add operational value through mentorship of management, knowledge of operating challenges, experience with industry dynamics, expertise in navigating public markets, and strategic relationships with investors, among others.
● Growth: We intend to invest in businesses that are on, or have the potential to be on, what we believe to be a promising growth path. We believe that these businesses, in particular, will benefit from access to incremental capital and over the long term, will benefit from consistent access to public markets. We are seeking businesses that have a sustainable competitive advantage that will support and sustain our expectations of their growth.
● Benefit from being public: We intend to work with management and stakeholders who aspire to have their company become a public entity and generate substantial growth. The benefits to partner companies of transitioning from a private to a public entity may include broader access to debt and equity providers, liquidity for employees and potential acquisitions and expanded branding in the marketplace.
● Reputation and market acceptance: We intend to seek companies with a sizable market share in their segment and the opportunity to achieve market leadership. They should also have defensible proprietary technology and intellectual property rights.
● Appropriate valuations: We are rigorous, disciplined, and valuation-centric investors, with a keen understanding of market value, upside and potential downside risks.
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any valuation relating to the merits of a particular business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant. In the event that we decide to enter into our initial business combination with a business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines, we will disclose that the business does not meet the above criteria in our shareholder communications related to our initial business combination, which, as discussed in this report, would be in the form of proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we would file with the SEC. In evaluating a prospective business, we expect to conduct a due diligence review which may encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspections of facilities, as well as reviewing financial and other information which will be made available to us.
Initial Business Combination
The NYSE rules and our Current Charter require that our initial business combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount). We refer to this as the 80% net assets test. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the business or businesses or we are considering an initial business combination with an affiliated entity, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), or an independent valuation or accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. Our shareholders may not be provided with a copy of such opinion nor will they be able to rely on such opinion.
While we consider it unlikely that our board will not be able to make an independent determination of the fair market value of a business or businesses, it may be unable to do so if the board is less familiar or experienced with the partner company’s business, there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of the company’s assets or prospects, including if such company is at an early stage of development, operations or growth, or if the anticipated transaction involves a complex financial analysis or other specialized skills and the board determines that outside expertise would be helpful or necessary in conducting such analysis. Since any opinion, if obtained, would merely state that the fair market value of the business meets the 80% of net assets test, unless such opinion includes material information regarding the valuation of a business or the consideration to be provided, it is not anticipated that copies of such opinion would be distributed to our shareholders. However, if required under applicable law, any proxy statement that we deliver to shareholders and file with the SEC in connection with a proposed transaction will include such opinion.
We anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post-business combination company in which our Public Shareholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination such that the post-business combination company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the business in order to meet certain objectives of the management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the partner or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the partner sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target business, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-business combination company, depending on valuations ascribed to the partner and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity interests of a partner. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the partner. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to the completion of our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-business combination company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test. If the business combination involves more than one business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the businesses and we will treat the businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking shareholder approval, as applicable.
Other Considerations
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination or subsequent transaction with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, founders, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor or any of our officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such initial business combination or transaction is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
Officers and members of our board of directors owning Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Shares may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers or directors were to be included by a business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
The members of our management team presently have, and may in the future have, additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including to other special purpose acquisition companies, investment funds, investment accounts, co-investment vehicles, and to entities in which they have invested. Our Sponsor and members of our management team may sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours, and may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. These entities may compete with us for acquisition opportunities. If these entities decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from pursuing such opportunity. None of our directors or officers have any obligation to present us with any business opportunity for a potential business combination of which they become aware, and may choose to present such opportunities to other entities, or be required to do so, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law and other applicable law, or his or her contractual obligations to any such entity. Our Current Charter provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company, and the opportunity is one that we would be able to complete on a reasonable basis. Accordingly, there may arise conflicts of interest in whether to present a potential business combination opportunity to our company.
In addition, the members of our management team are not required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence.
We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of the members of our management team will materially affect our ability to identify and pursue business combination opportunities or complete our initial business combination.
Corporate Information
Our executive offices are located at 195 US HWY 50, Suite 208, Zephyr Cove, NV 89448 and our phone number is (310) 954-9665.
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our Initial Public Offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.
Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

Financial Position
With funds available for a business combination in the amount of $53,187,730 as of December 31, 2023, exclusive of funds held outside the Trust Account to meet our expected working capital requirements and after payment of the expenses of our Initial Public Offering, we offer a business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third-party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.
Effecting Our Initial Business Combination
We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time, other than the identification and consummation of our initial business combination. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, debt or a combination of these as the consideration to be paid in our initial business combination. We may seek to complete our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.
If our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt, or not all of the funds released from the Trust Account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination or the redemptions of our Public Shares, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the Trust Account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.
We may seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, and we may effectuate our initial business combination using the proceeds of such offering rather than using the amounts held in the Trust Account.
In the case of an initial business combination funded with assets other than the Trust Account assets, our tender offer documents or proxy materials disclosing the business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by law or we decide to do so for business or other reasons, we would seek shareholder approval of such financing. There are no prohibitions on our ability to raise funds privately or through loans in connection with our initial business combination.
Lack of Business Diversification
For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business.
By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry.
Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be:
● solely dependent upon the performance of a single business, property or asset; or
● dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.
This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our initial business combination.
Limited Ability to Evaluate the Management Team
Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with that business, our assessment of the target business’s management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.
Following our initial business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
Shareholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination
We may conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC subject to the provisions of our Current Charter. However, we will seek shareholder approval if it is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we may decide to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons.
Under the rules of the NYSE, shareholder approval would be required for our initial business combination if, for example:
● we issue (other than in a public offering for cash) Ordinary Shares that will either (a) be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding or (b) have voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power then outstanding;
● any of our directors, officers or substantial security holders (as defined by the rules of the NYSE) has a 5% or greater interest, directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired and if the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued, or if the number of Ordinary Shares into which the securities may be convertible or exercisable, exceeds either (a) 1% of the number of Ordinary Shares or 1% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance in the case of any of our directors and officers or (b) 5% of the number of Ordinary Shares or 5% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance in the case of any substantial security holders; or
● the issuance or potential issuance of Ordinary Shares will result in our undergoing a change of control.
Permitted Purchases and Other Transactions with Respect to Our Securities
If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of our initial business combination or not redeem their Public Shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares in such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will be restricted from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
In the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights or submitted a proxy to vote against our initial business combination, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares and any proxy to vote against our initial business combination. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will be required to comply with such rules.
The purpose of any such transactions could be to (i) vote such shares in favor of the business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination or (ii) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a business that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.
In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.
Our Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the shareholders with whom our Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated transactions by either the shareholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by shareholders (in the case of Class A Ordinary Shares) following our mailing of tender offer or proxy materials in connection with our initial business combination. To the extent that our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates enter into a private transaction, they would identify and contact only potential selling or redeeming shareholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against our initial business combination, whether or not such shareholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to our initial business combination but only if such shares have not already been voted at the general meeting related to our initial business combination. Our Sponsor, executive officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates will select which shareholders to purchase shares from based on the negotiated price and number of shares and any other factors that they may deem relevant, and will be restricted from purchasing shares if such purchases do not comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.
Our Sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates will be restricted from making purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. We expect any such purchases would be reported by such person pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.
Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders Upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination
We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. At the completion of our initial business combination, we will be required to purchase any Ordinary Shares properly delivered for redemption and not withdrawn. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. Our Initial Shareholders, directors and officers have entered into an Insider Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination.
Limitations on Redemptions
Our Current Charter provides that in no event will we redeem our Public Shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5.0 million (so that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). However, the proposed business combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the partner or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the partner for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Class A Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, and all Class A Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.
Manner of Conducting Redemptions
We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (1) in connection with an extraordinary general meeting called to approve the business combination or (2) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval while direct mergers and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or seek to amend our Current Charter would typically require shareholder approval. We intend to conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement or we choose to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons.
If a shareholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, we will, pursuant to our Current Charter:
● conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules; and
● file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we and our Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase our Ordinary Shares in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on Public Shareholders not tendering more than a specified number of Public Shares, which number will be based on the requirement that we may not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions, or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. If Public Shareholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete such initial business combination.
If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, we will, pursuant to our Current Charter:
● conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules; and
● file proxy materials with the SEC.
We expect that a final proxy statement would be mailed to Public Shareholders at least 10 days prior to the shareholder vote. However, we expect that a draft proxy statement would be made available to such shareholders well in advance of such time, providing additional notice of redemption if we conduct redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation. Although we are not required to do so, we currently intend to comply with the substantive and procedural requirements of Regulation 14A in connection with any shareholder vote even if we are not able to maintain our NYSE listing or Exchange Act registration.
In the event that we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our Public Shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.
If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if we receive an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law (approval by a majority of shareholders), and in some cases, matters related to our initial business combination may require us to receive an extraordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law (approval by two-thirds of shareholders). In connection with any such vote of shareholders, pursuant to the terms of an Insider Letter Agreement, our Initial Shareholders have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree) to vote their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them in favor of our initial business combination.
Each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting and, if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. In addition, our Initial Shareholders, directors and officers have entered into an Insider Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a business combination.
Our Current Charter provides that in no event will we redeem our Public Shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions. Redemptions of our Public Shares may also be subject to a higher net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to our initial business combination. For example, the proposed business combination may require: (1) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners; (2) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes; or (3) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the proposed business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Public Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, and all Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.
Limitation on Redemption Upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Shareholder Approval
If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Current Charter provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to excess shares, without our prior consent. We believe this restriction will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to force us or our Sponsor or its affiliates to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our Initial Public Offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us or our Sponsor or its affiliates at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our shareholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including excess shares) for or against our initial business combination.
Tendering Share Certificates in Connection with A Tender Offer or Redemption Rights
We may require our Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to either tender their certificates to our Transfer Agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents or proxy materials mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the business combination in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, rather than simply voting against the initial business combination. The tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate whether we are requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements, which will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. Accordingly, a Public Shareholder would have from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, or up to two business days prior to the scheduled vote on the business combination if we distribute proxy materials, as applicable, to tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. Pursuant to the tender offer rules, the tender offer period will be not less than 20 business days and, in the case of a shareholder vote, a final proxy statement would be mailed to Public Shareholders at least 10 days prior to the shareholder vote. However, we expect that a draft proxy statement would be made available to such shareholders well in advance of such time, providing additional notice of redemption if we conduct redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for shareholders to use electronic delivery of their Public Shares.
There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a fee of approximately $100.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares. The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation If No Initial Business Combination
We will have until July 1, 2024 to complete our initial business combination. If we have not completed our initial business combination by July 1, 2024, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay winding up and dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Our Initial Shareholders have entered into an Insider Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by July 1, 2024. However, if our Initial Shareholders acquire Public Shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by July 1, 2024.
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed, pursuant to the Insider Letter Agreement, that they will not propose any amendment to our Current Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by July 1, 2024 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. However, we may not redeem our Public Shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions.
We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account. We will have until July 1, 2024 to complete our initial business combination.
If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
Although we seek to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management team will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if our management team believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by our management team to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where our management team is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Our Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective businesses.
In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per Public Share.
We seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to up to $1,000,000 from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000).
If we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per Public Share to our Public Shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.”
As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
Our Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our Public Shares if we do not consummate an initial business combination by July 1, 2024, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Current Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by July 1, 2024 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares or pre-initial business combination activity, and (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of the initial business combination. Public Shareholders who redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if we have not consummated an initial business combination by July 1, 2024, with respect to such Class A Ordinary Shares so redeemed. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a shareholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a shareholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of our Current Charter, like all provisions of our Current Charter, may be amended with a shareholder vote.
Competition
We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources or more local industry knowledge than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, our ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, in the event we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we are obligated to pay cash for our Class A Ordinary Shares, it will potentially reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination. Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination.
Facilities
We currently maintain our executive offices at 195 US HWY 50, Suite 208, Zephyr Cove, NV 89448. The cost for this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee that we pay our Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
Employees
TWOA has two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to TWOA matters and devote only as much time as they deem necessary to TWOA’s affairs. TWOA does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of a business combination.
Legal Proceedings
To the knowledge of TWOA’s management, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against TWOA, any of TWOA’s officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of TWOA’s property.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risk Factor Summary
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information contained in the report, before making a decision to invest in our securities. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
● The requirement that we consummate an initial business combination by July 1, 2024 may give potential businesses leverage over us in negotiating an initial business combination.
● Since our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to Public Shares they acquired during or after our Initial Public Offering), a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination partner is appropriate for our initial business combination.
● Our shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed initial business combination, which means we may complete our initial business combination even though a majority of our shareholders do not support such a combination.
● If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our Sponsor and each member of our management team have agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote.
● Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash.
● The ability of our Public Shareholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a business combination with a target business.
● The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.
● The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares could increase the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your stock.
● The requirement that we consummate an initial business combination by July 1, 2024 may give potential businesses leverage over us in negotiating a business combination and may limit the time we have in which to conduct due diligence on potential business combination partners, in particular as we approach our dissolution deadline, which could undermine our ability to complete our business combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders.
● If a shareholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our Public Shares in connection with our business combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.
● We are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent accounting or investment banking firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view.
● We may engage in a business combination with one or more businesses that have relationships with entities that may be affiliated with our Sponsor, executive officers, directors or Initial Shareholders which may raise potential conflicts of interest.
● We may only be able to complete one business combination with the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business which may have a limited number of products or services. This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operations and profitability.
● Our executive officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to complete our initial business combination.
● Our executive officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including another blank check company, and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
● Because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.
● The NYSE could suspend trading in our securities or delist our securities from the NYSE subsequent to April 1, 2024, which is three years from our IPO.
For the complete list of risks relating to our operations and the initial business combination, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in the. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial business combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 15, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
Our sponsor was originally two sponsor, a Cayman Islands exempted limited company, until March 31, 2023 and has been HC PropTech Partners III LLC since March 31, 2023. The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective March 29, 2021. On April 1, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Public Shares, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.1 million (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter), of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per share. The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on April 13, 2021 purchased an additional 1,437,500 Class A Ordinary Shares, generating gross proceeds of approximately $14.4 million, and we incurred additional offering costs of approximately $755,000 (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter), of which approximately $503,000 was for deferred underwriting fees.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 600,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Original Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on April 13, 2021, we consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 28,750 Private Placement Shares by the Original Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $287,500. On December 30, 2022, the Original Sponsor unconditionally and irrevocably forfeited all 628,750 Private Placement Shares to the Company for no value and the Company cancelled the Private Placement Shares effective as of the same date.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placement, $214.4 million ($10.00 per share) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Shares in the Private Placement were placed in the Trust Account, located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee, and were originally invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations and later moved to cash demand accounts, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete a business combination successfully. We must complete one or more initial business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. However, we will only complete a business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
If we are unable to complete a business combination by July 1, 2024, 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 to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
On March 31, 2023, we held the First Extension Meeting at which the shareholders approved an amendment to the our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which we must consummate business combination from April 1, 2023 (the date which was 24 months from the closing date of our Initial Public Offering) to January 1, 2024 (the date which is 33 months from the closing date of the Initial Public Offering).
On March 31, 2023, the Original Sponsor sold 4,854,375 Class B Ordinary Shares of the Company to the Sponsor, which became our sponsor by assuming the rights and obligations of the Original Sponsor to the Company.
On August 15, 2023, we announced the execution of the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco will become the parent company of each of the Company and LLP following the consummation of the Business Combination. The Merger Consideration will be an amount equal to $286,000,000. The Merger Consideration will be payable in new Pubco Ordinary Shares, each valued at a price per share equal to ten U.S. Dollars ($10.00). The Business Combination Agreement does not provide for any purchase price adjustments.
On December 29, 2023, we held the Second Extension Meeting at which the shareholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which we must consummate a business combination from January 1, 2024 (the date which was 33 months from the closing date of our Initial Public Offering) to July 1, 2024 (the date which is 40 months from the closing date of the Initial Public Offering). In connection with the Second Extension Meeting, Public Shareholders holding an aggregate of 808,683 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account.
In connection with the First Extension Meeting and the Second Extension Meeting, Public Shareholders holding an aggregate of 16,437,487 and 808,683 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, respectively. Following the redemptions, there were 4,191,330 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and 5,359,375 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
On December 29, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $440,090 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $440,090 in connection with the extension of our termination date from January 1, 2024 to July 2024. The Company has deposited into our Trust Account $146,697 for the first two months (commencing on January 2, 2024 through March 1, 2024) and will deposit $73,348 for each of the four subsequent calendar months (commencing on March 2, 2024 and on the 2nd day of each subsequent month) until July 1, 2024, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $440,090. The note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, and (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2023, we had $57,569 in cash and a working capital deficit of $3,073,719.
The Company’s original liquidity needs have been satisfied through $25,000 paid by the Original Sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of approximately $81,000 from the Original Sponsor pursuant to a promissory note for up to $300,000 (the “Pre-IPO Note”), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account of $2.5 million (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter). The Company borrowed approximately $81,000 under the Pre-IPO Note and repaid the Pre-IPO Note in full on April 5, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Original Sponsor, the Sponsor, any of their affiliates, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with loans for working capital purposes (“Working Capital Loans”). On August 7, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor in an amount up to $1,500,000 (the “Working Capital Note”), of which approximately $668,000 had previously been advanced by the Sponsor. The Working Capital Note accrues no interest and is payable upon the consummation of the initial business combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $1,500,000 and $0 advanced by the Sponsor or Original Sponsor under Working Capital Loans or the Working Capital Note, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $241,414 and $0 due to related party advanced by the Sponsor to further support the Company’s working capital needs, respectively. On February 9, 2024, the Company amended and restated the Working Capital Note to increase the principal amount from $1,500,000 to $3,000,000.
Our management has determined that we may not have sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated obligations through the earlier of our consummation of an initial business combination or our liquidation date. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” our management has determined that the liquidity issue and the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after July 1, 2024. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. We plan to either complete a business combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date or extend such date.
Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the United States and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. This market volatility could adversely affect our ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between nations, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against certain countries. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete a business combination and the value of our securities.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of these types of risks on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these types of risks could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from inception to December 31, 2023 was for our formation and operation costs prior and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, including the search for a target for our initial business combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had net income of $1,272,511, which consisted of $2,766,283 in general and administrative expenses and $120,000 in administrative expenses-related party, offset by $4,158,794 in gain on investments (net), dividends and interest, held in the Trust Account.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had net income of $1,497,223, which consisted of $1,237,924 in general and administrative expenses and $120,000 in administrative expenses-related party, offset by $2,855,147 in gain on investments (net), dividends and interest, held in the Trust Account.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares, and Class A Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans were entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Founder Registration Rights Agreement. These holders were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, these holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per share, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per share, or approximately $7.0 million in the aggregate, was deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriter.
The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and was entitled to an additional fee of approximately $755,000 (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter), of which approximately $503,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions.
On February 14, 2023, the representative of the underwriters waived any rights to receive the deferred underwriting commissions.
Administrative Services Agreement
On March 29, 2021, we entered into an administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) with the Original Sponsor, pursuant to which, commencing on the date our securities were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we agreed to pay the Original Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. On March 31, 2023, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement, the Original Sponsor assigned the Administrative Services Agreement to the Sponsor. Upon completion of the initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $120,000 and $120,000 in expenses for these services, respectively, which are included in administrative expenses-related party on the accompanying statements of operations. No amount was due as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption (our Public Shares) in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. As part of the Private Placement, the Company issued 628,750 Private Placement Shares to the Original Sponsor. These Private Placement Shares were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. They were also considered non-redeemable and were presented as permanent equity in the Company’s balance sheets. On December 30, 2022, the Original Sponsor unconditionally and irrevocably forfeited all 628,750 Private Placement Shares to the Company for no value and the Company cancelled the Private Placement Shares effective as of the same date. Our Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 4,191,330 and 21,437,500 Class A Ordinary Shares, respectively, subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.
Under ASC 480-10S99, we have elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Subsequently, we recognized changes in the redemption value as an increase in redemption value of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption as reflected on the accompanying statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.
Investments Held in the Trust Account
Our portfolio of investments was originally comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When our investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When our investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in gain on investments (net), dividends and interest, held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
In March 2023, we instructed the trustee of the Trust Account to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination and the liquidation of the Company. The funds were still held in this account as of December 31, 2023.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged against the carrying value of the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in April 2021.
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Income is shared pro rata between the two classes of shares, which assumes a business combination as the most likely outcome. Net income per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the respective period.
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted into Ordinary Shares and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted net income per Ordinary Share is the same as basic net income per Ordinary Share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d 15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2023. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.
This report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023, covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
TWOA’s board of directors is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the Class I directors, consisting of Thomas D. Hennessy and Javier Saade, will expire at our annual general meeting in 2025. The term of office of the Class II directors, consisting of Jack Leeney and Gloria Fu, will expire at our annual general meeting in 2024. The term of office of the Class III directors, consisting of M. Joseph Beck and Adam Blake, will expire at our annual general meeting in 2026.
Holders of the Founder Shares will have the right to appoint and remove all of TWOA’s directors prior to consummation of the Business Combination and holders of the Public Shares will not have the right to vote on the appointment of directors during such time. Each of our directors will hold office for a three-year term. Incumbent directors will also have the ability to appoint additional directors or to appoint replacement directors in the event of a casual vacancy.
TWOA’s officers are appointed by the TWOA Board and serve at the discretion of the TWOA Board, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our Current Charter as it deems appropriate. Our officers may consist of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by our board of directors.
Director Independence
The rules of the NYSE require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person that, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). Our board of directors has determined that each of Jack Leeney, Gloria Fu, M. Joseph Beck, Adam Blake and Javier Saade are an “independent director” under applicable SEC and NYSE rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee; a compensation committee; and a nominating and corporate governance committee.
Subject to phase-in rules, the rules of NYSE and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of NYSE require that the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee will operate under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors and has the composition and responsibilities described below.
Audit Committee
We established an audit committee of the board of directors. Gloria Fu, M. Joseph Beck and Adam Blake serve as members of our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of our audit committee members is independent. Gloria Fu serves as the chairperson of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of the NYSE and our board of directors has determined that Gloria Fu qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.
The audit committee is responsible for:
● assisting board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors;
● the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
● pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
● reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
● setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;
● setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
● obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (1) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
● meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;
● reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and
● reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
We established a nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors. The members of our nominating committee are Gloria Fu, M. Joseph Beck and Adam Blake, with Adam Blake serving as chairperson. Our board of directors has determined that each of Gloria Fu, M. Joseph Beck and Adam Blake is an independent director.
The nominating committee is responsible for:
● identifying, screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors, consistent with criteria approved by our Board of Directors, and recommending to our Board of Directors candidates for nomination for appointment;
● developing and recommending to our Board of Directors and overseeing implementation of our corporate governance guidelines;
● coordinating and overseeing the annual self-evaluation of our Board of Directors, its committees, individual directors and management in the governance of the company; and
● reviewing on a regular basis our overall corporate governance and recommending improvements as and when necessary.
Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees
We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of our board of directors. However, as we are not paying compensation to any employees, and have already determined director compensation, we do not expect that the compensation committee will meet for substantive compensation purposes prior to our initial business combination. The members of our compensation committee are Gloria Fu, M. Joseph Beck and Adam Blake. M. Joseph Beck serves as chairperson of the compensation committee. Our board of directors has determined that all of the directors on the compensation committee are independent. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
● reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;
● reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to the compensation, and any incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval of all of our other officers;
● reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;
● implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
● assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
● approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;
● producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
● reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other advisor and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such advisor. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other advisor, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such advisor, including the factors required by the NYSE and the SEC.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
● duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;
● duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;
● duty not to improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
● duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and
● duty to exercise independent judgment.
In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.
As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the our Current Charter or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.
Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including entities that are affiliates of our Sponsor, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination or subsequent transaction with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor or any of our officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such initial business combination or transaction is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context. Furthermore, in no event will our Sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, be paid by us any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial business combination.
Executive Officer and Director Compensation
We pay our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. We pay Nicholas Geeza, our Chief Financial Officer, approximately $5,500 per month for his services prior to the consummation of our initial business combination. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we paid Mr. Geeza a total of $24,307 in cash compensation. Except as disclosed above, none of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential partner businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the company to our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.
After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management team’s motivation in identifying or selecting a partner business but we do not believe that the ability of our management team to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
After the completion of the Business Combination, directors or members of our management who remain may be paid consulting, management or other fees from Pubco. For a discussion of executive compensation arrangements after the Closing of the Business Combination, see the.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Current Charter provides for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We entered into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our Current Charter. We purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the trust account due to their ownership of Public Shares). Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Founder Shares
On January 21, 2021, the Original Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover expenses in consideration for 5,359,375 Founder Shares. Up to 750,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On March 8, 2021, the Original Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of Michelle Gill, Ryan Petersen and Laura de Petra, and 30,000 Founder Shares to Pierre Lamond. Such shares will not be subject to forfeiture in the event the underwriter’s over-allotment is not exercised. The underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option on April 13, 2021 and on April 19, 2021, the Original Sponsor surrendered 390,625 Founder Shares for no consideration resulting in 5,359,375 Founder Shares issued and outstanding with no shares subject to forfeiture. On March 31, 2023, 3,347,611 Founder Shares were purchased from the Original Sponsor by the Sponsor. An aggregate of 145,000 Founder Shares was transferred by the Sponsor to TWOA’s directors and advisors in August 2023 and January 2024.
The Initial Shareholders and the Sponsor have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, 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 (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement Shares
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, TWOA consummated the Private Placement of 600,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Original Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million. If the over-allotment option was exercised, the Original Sponsor could have purchased an additional amount of up to 60,000 Private Placement Shares at a price of $10.00 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Shares was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on April 13, 2021, TWOA consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 28,750 Private Placement Shares by the Original Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to TWOA of $287,500. On December 30, 2022, the Sponsor unconditionally and irrevocably forfeited all 628,750 Private Placement Shares to TWOA for no value and TWOA cancelled the Private Placement Shares effective as of the same date.
Sponsor Loan
On January 21, 2021, the Original Sponsor agreed to loan TWOA up to $300,000 pursuant to the Pre-IPO Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. TWOA borrowed approximately $81,000 under the Pre-IPO Note and repaid the Pre-IPO Note in full on April 5, 2021. No additional borrowing is available under the Pre-IPO Note.
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Original Sponsor, the Sponsor, any of their affiliates, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (Working Capital Loans). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement shares at a price of $10.00 per share. On August 7, 2023, the Company issued the Working Capital Note to the Sponsor in an amount up to $1,500,000, of which approximately $668,000 had previously been advanced by the Sponsor. The Working Capital Note accrues no interest and is payable upon the consummation of the initial business combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was $1,500,000 and $0 advanced by the Sponsor or Original Sponsor under Working Capital Loans or the Working Capital Note, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $241,414 and $0 of due to related party advanced by the Sponsor to further support the Company’s working capital needs, respectively. On February 9, 2024, the Company amended and restated the Working Capital Note to increase the principal amount from $1,500,000 to $3,000,000.
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares, and Class A Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These holders were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, these holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per share, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per share, or approximately $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee was to become payable to the underwriter 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.
The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and was entitled to an additional fee of approximately $755,000 (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter), of which approximately $503,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions fees. On February 14, 2023, Citi waived any rights to receive the deferred underwriting commissions. and it has ceased its involvement in TWOA’s initial business combination.
Administrative Support Agreement
On March 29, 2021, the Company entered into that the Administrative Services Agreement with the Original Sponsor pursuant to which, commencing on the date the Company’s securities were first listed on the NYSE, the Company agreed to pay the Original Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. On March 31, 2023, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement, the Original Sponsor assigned the Administrative Services Agreement to the Sponsor. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $120,000 and $120,000 in expenses for these services, respectively, which are included in administrative expenses-related party on the accompanying statements of operations. No amount was due as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Related Person Transaction Policy
A “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which TWOA or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
