ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1.
Business.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in February 2021 as a Delaware corporation whose purpose is to effect our initial Business Combination.
While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any industry, sector, or geography, we have targeted and will continue to target a Business Combination with a technology-oriented company in Australia and/or New Zealand. We are one of only a few SPACs primarily focused on acquisition targets in Australia and/or New Zealand. We believe that Australia and New Zealand have economic and social environments suitable for companies to innovate and develop new technologies and/or business models with potential for international expansion. We have focused and will continue to focus on the rapidly growing universe of companies and entrepreneurs in Australia and/or New Zealand that apply technology and innovation to our everyday lives. Our Management Team possesses a synergistic combination of executive, strategic, operational, financial, and transactional experience in this region, and has demonstrated a track record of identifying and creating stockholder value at a wide array of technology, financial services, manufacturing, consulting, and fast-moving consumer goods companies. We believe that the experience and expertise of our Management Team will make us an attractive partner to potential target businesses, enhance our ability to complete a successful Business Combination, and bring value to the business following our initial Business Combination.
Our objective is to generate attractive returns for stockholders and enhance value through both operational improvements and new initiatives to expand the target business organically and/or by strategic acquisitions. Given our Management Team’s extensive work and business relationships throughout Australia and New Zealand, we have visibility into the growth prospects and developmental promise of numerous potentially attractive companies in the region. Our Management Team has decades of experience, under varying economic and financial market conditions, identifying and understanding the key fundamental theses of the businesses operating in our targeted geography and sector and how management teams can better execute on their stated strategies to deliver value. Our Management Team’s past experiences provide a differentiated set of skills that other companies and SPACs may not possess. We believe that our Management Team’s expertise, capabilities, and network in the region provide us with a significant advantage in identifying attractive investments and consummating an initial Business Combination that will be well-received in the public markets.
The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.
Initial Public Offering
On November 5, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one Public Warrant, with each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 4,950,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $4,950,000.
A total of $116,725,000, comprised of $113,000,000 of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and a portion of the proceeds of the Private Placement, was placed in the Trust Account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee.
It is the job of our Sponsor and Management Team to complete our initial Business Combination. Our Management Team is led by Enrique Klix, our Chief Executive Officer, and Oliver Matlock, our Chief Financial Officer, who have many years of experience in identifying and understanding the key fundamental theses of the businesses operating in our targeted geography and sector. We must complete our initial Business Combination by November 5, 2025. If our initial Business Combination is not consummated by the end of our Combination Period, then, unless our Board of Directors shall otherwise determine, our existence will terminate, and we will distribute all amounts in the Trust Account.
The Flybondi Business Combination Agreement
On October 19, 2023, we entered into the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement, with Flybondi, FB Parent Holdings, Merger Sub and the Signing Sellers. After the date of the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement, the Joining Sellers may join the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement by executing and delivering a Seller Joinder.
On July 2, 2024, we entered into the Novation Agreement with FB Parent, Merger Sub, Flybondi, FB Parent Holdings and the Sellers, pursuant to which, FB Parent Holdings assigned to FB Parent all of its liabilities, agreements, obligations, rights and duties in, under, and arising from the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement.
On October 1, 2024, the parties to the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement entered into the second amendment to the Business Combination Agreement to extend the Agreement End Date (as defined below) from November 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
The below subsection describes the material provisions of the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement but does not purport to describe all the terms thereof. This summary of the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below have the same meanings given to them in the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, this Report does not assume the closing of the Flybondi Business Combination.
Structure of the Proposed Business Combination
The Flybondi Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions: (i) FB Parent will acquire the shares of Flybondi (the “Flybondi Shares”) held by the Sellers in exchange for the issuance by FB Parent of new ordinary shares of FB Parent (the “Share Exchange”), and (ii) we will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with us continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FB Parent, and each of our issued and outstanding securities immediately prior to the Merger will be cancelled and converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of FB Parent.
In connection with the closing of the Flybondi Business Combination (the “Closing”), (i) FB Parent and certain holders of FB Parent securities upon the Closing, including the Sponsor, certain of our directors and executive officers and certain Sellers will enter into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with respect to certain equity or equity-linked securities of FB Parent as set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Securities”), and (ii) FB Parent and certain holders of FB Parent securities upon the Closing, including the Sponsor and certain Sellers, will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Flybondi Registration Rights Agreement”) with respect to certain equity or equity-linked securities of FB Parent as set forth in the Flybondi Registration Rights Agreement (the “Covered Securities”), in each case as further described below.
Consideration
At the effective time of the Share Exchange, the total consideration to be paid by FB Parent to the Sellers for their Flybondi Shares shall be an aggregate number of FB Parent ordinary shares valued at $10.00 per share, with an aggregate value of up to $300,000,000, with such amount equaling $300,000,000 if all holders of Flybondi Shares that are not Signing Sellers participate in the transactions by executing Seller Joinders by the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement. Each Flybondi Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Share Exchange and held by a Seller will be exchanged for the number of FB Parent ordinary shares equal to the exchange ratio as provided in the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement. All of the in-the-money vested Flybondi options outstanding immediately prior to the Share Exchange will be exercised and converted into the right to receive the number of FB Parent options equal to the exchange ratio as provided in the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement. All unvested and/or out-of-the-money Flybondi options will be converted into options to purchase ordinary shares of FB Parent.
At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of our Common Stock will be automatically converted into and exchanged for one FB Parent ordinary share, and each of our issued and outstanding Warrants will be automatically converted into and become one FB Parent warrant to purchase FB Parent ordinary shares.
Flybondi Registration Statement and Flybondi Stockholder Meeting
We, FB Parent and Flybondi has prepared and FB Parent has filed with the SEC, on January 23, 2025, the Flybondi Registration Statement in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of certain securities to be issued by FB Parent pursuant to the proposed Flybondi Business Combination, which includes a proxy statement/prospectus that constitutes (i) a prospectus relating to the offer of such FB Parent securities and (ii) a proxy statement to be distributed to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the vote at a special meeting of our stockholders (the “Flybondi Special Meeting”) to be held to approve the proposed Flybondi Business Combination and other matters as described in the Flybondi Registration Statement, and in connection with the approval thereof, to provide our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in accordance with the redemption rights set forth in our Amended and Restated Charter.

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.15 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Warrant Amendment Agreement
In connection with the Closing, FB Parent, our Company and Continental, as warrant agent, will enter into an assignment and assumption agreement with respect to the Warrant Agreement, pursuant to which we will assign to FB Parent all of our rights, interests and obligations in and under the Warrant Agreement governing the Warrants and the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement will be amended and restated to, among other things, reflect the conversion of the Warrants to warrants of FB Parent representing the right to purchase FB Parent ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of the Flybondi Business Combination.
Extensions of our Combination Period
On May 3, 2023, we held the First Special Meeting. At the First Special Meeting, our stockholders approved the First Extension Amendment Proposal, which extended the date we had to consummate an initial Business Combination from May 5, 2023 to November 3, 2023. In connection with the vote to approve the First Extension Amendment Proposal, stockholders holding 8,470,059 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $87,843,748 (approximately $10.37 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming stockholders.
On November 2, 2023, we held the Second Special Meeting, at which our stockholders approved, among other things, the Charter Amendment Proposals. Following approval of the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, our Combination Period was extended from November 3, 2023 to November 5, 2024. In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals, the holders of 1,831,599 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $19,763,618 (approximately $10.79 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming stockholders
On October 31, 2024, we held the Third Special Meeting. At the Third Special Meeting, our stockholders approved the Third Extension Amendment Proposal, which extended the date we had to consummate an initial Business Combination from November 5, 2024 to November 5, 2025, on a monthly basis (or such earlier date as determined by the Board). In connection with the vote to approve the Third Extension Amendment Proposal, stockholders holding 835,672 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $9.5 million (approximately $11.41 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming stockholders.
We may seek to further extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules. Such an extension would require the approval of our Public Stockholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, explore transactions under which it would sell its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.
Founder Share Conversion
Following the approval of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal at the Second Special Meeting, on November 3, 2023, we issued an aggregate of 2,874,999 shares of our Class A Common Stock (consisting of 2,824,999 shares to our Sponsor and 50,000 shares to an Anchor Investor) upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by our Sponsor and such Anchor Investor, respectively. The 2,874,999 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Founder Share Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Common Stock before the Founder Share Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination, as described in the IPO Registration Statement. Following the Founder Share Conversion and the redemptions in connection with the Extensions, there were 3,237,669 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and one share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. As a result, our Sponsor holds approximately 87.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock.
Business Strategy
Our strategy is to identify and complete a Business Combination with a company with a presence in Australia and/or New Zealand with scalable technology and operations, a proven business model, and an established management team that is potentially looking to expand. The accelerated adoption of digital services and investment in technology infrastructure by consumers and enterprises is driving organizations to fortify their operations in an increasingly distributed environment. We believe many of these technology-oriented businesses could benefit from additional management experience to accelerate revenue growth, improve their operations, expand margins, and optimize their capital allocation decision-making process. These opportunities include, but are not limited to, businesses operating in industry sectors like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analytics, Internet of Things, quantum computing, and software-as-a-service, as well as technology-oriented companies seeking to improve and/or automate the delivery and use of services and/or products in the agricultural, renewable energy sources, education, finance, governmental, human resources, legal and compliance, property, and waste management and recycling sectors. We also examine any sector cross-over with food, hardware, marketplaces, media, mining services, and telecommunications companies that engage in similarly progressive, exciting technologies, and new business models. We believe that companies operating in these areas have characteristics which make them attractive investments, including their underlying market size and growth dynamics.
Our Business Combination selection process leverages our Management Team’s broad and deep network of relationships, differentiated industry knowledge, prolific acquisition experience, and deal-sourcing capabilities to access a wide spectrum of opportunities. Our Management Team members have developed this network over the past several decades while serving in executive roles at successful organizations. We believe that our Management Team will identify a Business Combination that will benefit from our experience, including:
•
a track record of operating, growing, and advising businesses in both public and private settings;
•
deep and broad relationships with and connectivity to chief executive officers, founders, entrepreneurs, family owners and venture capital and private equity Sponsors in Australia and New Zealand to create a significant pipeline of proprietary opportunities;
•
the combination of having a local presence in the region with our market knowledge of the target sectors could serve as a source of competitive advantage when we approach potential target companies;
•
relationships with capital markets advisors, as well as experience raising both debt and equity capital across business cycles and geographies;
•
mergers and acquisitions track record of acquiring and integrating companies at attractive valuations across a wide range of sectors;
•
success of identifying private companies that would operate best as public companies, thoroughly and expeditiously preparing them to be public companies, as well as advising and leading them through and after an initial public offering;
•
long tenures of serving on leading public companies to effect change; and
•
a track record of expeditiously enhancing and exiting investments to deliver substantial stockholder value.
In addition to our own market knowledge and execution capabilities, we have a Board of Directors that comprises other leading executives who strengthen our expertise and broaden our network of relationships.
Mr. Klix, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Hutton, Mr. Javeri, and Ms. Thornton leverage their global network of relationships, deal sourcing capabilities and differentiated industry experience to access a wide range of proprietary opportunities and continue the process of pursuing and reviewing potential Business Combination.
We believe our operational knowledge combined with experience in the private and public markets could potentially make us an attractive partner for companies seeking a clear and efficient path to listing on a national exchange in the United States of America. Some companies desire to have publicly traded shares to provide liquidity to employees and investors, create a currency for mergers and acquisitions, and/or enhance their profile for potential customers and business partners. We are confident that our relationships with private and institutional investors will help us ensure a smooth transition into the public capital markets for a target company.
Acquisition Criteria
Consistent with our business strategy, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, such as Flybondi. We use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating potential Business Combination opportunities, but we may decide to enter into our initial Business Combination with a target business that meets some, but not all of these criteria and guidelines. We intend to conduct a Business Combination with a company that we believe:
•
has a sustainable, leading market position in an attractive industry in Australia and/or New Zealand;
•
possesses significant competitive advantages via its disruptive business model and/or innovative product, service, or business;
•
has demonstrated operating stability and has a proven combination of systems, processes, and managerial talent;
•
has achieved or has the potential for significant long-term revenue or earnings growth through a combination of organic growth, synergistic add-on acquisitions, new product markets and/or geographies, increased production capacity, expense reduction, and/or increased operating leverage;
•
has a committed, capable, and aligned management team that would benefit from the leadership and strategic vision of our Management Team; and
•
would benefit from being a publicly owned company and can effectively utilize the broader access to capital markets to help achieve the company’s business strategy and capital structure needs.
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial Business Combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors, and criteria that our Management Team may deem relevant. In the event that we decide to enter into our initial Business Combination with a target business that meets some, but not all of the above criteria and guidelines, we will disclose that the target business meets some, but not all of the above criteria in our stockholder communications related to our initial Business Combination, which, as discussed in the IPO Registration Statement, would be in the form of tender offer documents or proxy solicitation materials that we would file with the SEC, such as the Flybondi Registration Statement.
In addition to any potential business candidates we identify on our own, other target business candidates have been and may continue to be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment market participants, private equity funds, venture capital funds, and large business enterprises seeking to divest non-core assets or divisions.
Acquisition Process
In evaluating a prospective target business, such as Flybondi, we conduct an extensive due diligence review, which encompasses, as applicable and among other things, meetings with members of the target’s management and other employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities and a review of financial and other information about the target and its industry. We have called and will continue to call upon Mr. Klix, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Hutton, Mr. Javeri, and Ms. Thornton’s own experience, as well as their network of relationships with chief executive officers, board members, members of executive management teams, and entrepreneurs to provide specialized insights into their areas of expertise as well as leverage their operational and capital planning experience.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or completing the Business Combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, executive officers or directors. While Flybondi is not affiliated with our Sponsor, executive officers or directors, in the event we do not consummate the Flybondi Business Combination and we seek to complete an initial Business Combination with a target that is affiliated with our Sponsor, executive officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or a valuation or appraisal firm stating that such an initial Business Combination is fair to us from a financial point of view.
Members of our Management Team and our independent directors directly or indirectly own Founder Shares and/or Private Placement Warrants following our Initial Public Offering and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial Business Combination. Further, certain 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 and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial Business Combination.
Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to another entity pursuant to which such officers or directors are 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 that is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such Business Combination opportunity to such other entity. Our Amended and Restated 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 our director or officer and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation. 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.
In addition, our Sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other SPACs similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial Business Combination. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial Business Combination. However, we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination.
Initial Business Combination
Nasdaq rules require that we must complete one or more Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account, excluding the and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account (the “80% of Net Assets Test”). If our Board of Directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm, with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. We do not currently intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial Business Combination, although there is no assurance that will be the case.
We anticipate structuring our initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which our Public Stockholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target Management Team or stockholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such 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. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target 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 of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be taken into account for purposes of the 80% of net assets test described above. If the Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of Net Assets Test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses. Based on the valuation analysis of our Management and Board of Directors, we have determined that the fair market value of Flybondi was substantially in excess of 80% of the funds in the Trust Accountant and that the 80% of Net Assets Test was therefore satisfied.
Financial Position
With funds in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024 of approximately $4,078,045 (before payment of any taxes paid or payable) available for a Business Combination, we offer a target 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 mixture 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 target 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.
See “Flybondi Business Combination” above for more information on the equity and financing arrangements in connection with the Flybondi 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 Combination 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 negative economic, competitive, and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on
•
the particular industry in which we operate after our initial Business Combination, and
•
cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.
Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target’s Management Team
Although we closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business, including the management team of Flybondi, when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial Business Combination with that business and plan to continue to do so if the Flybondi Business Combination is not consummated and we seek other Business Combination opportunities, 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. The determination as to whether any of the members of our Management Team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial Business Combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial Business Combination, Business Combination, including the Flybondi Business Combination in which Enrique Klix may serve as a director of FB Parent post-Closing, 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 our stockholders that members of our Management Team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
Other than Enrique Klix or another individual to be appointed by the Sponsor to serve as a director, we cannot assure our stockholders 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 a Business Combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure our stockholders 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.
Stockholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination
We may conduct redemptions without a stockholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC subject to the provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter. However, we will seek stockholder approval if it is required by law or applicable stock exchange rule (as is the case with the Flybondi Business Combination as currently contemplated), or we may decide to seek stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons.
Presented in the table below is a graphic explanation of the types of initial Business Combination we may consider and whether stockholder approval is currently required under Delaware law for each such transaction.

Under Nasdaq’s listing rules, stockholder approval would be required for our initial Business Combination if, for example:
•
We issue shares of Common Stock that will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of our shares of Common Stock then outstanding (other than in a public offering);
•
Any of our directors, officers, or substantial stockholders (as defined by Nasdaq rules) has a 5% or greater interest earned on the Trust Account (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired or otherwise and the present or potential issuance of Common Stock could result in an increase in outstanding Common Stock or voting power of 5% or more; or
•
The issuance or potential issuance of Common Stock will result in our undergoing a change of control.
See “Flybondi Business Combination” above for more information on the requisite approvals in connection with the Flybondi Business Combination.
Permitted Purchases of Our Securities
If we seek stockholder 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, Initial Stockholders, directors, executive officers, advisors, or their affiliates may purchase Public Shares or Public Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial Business Combination. There is no limit on the number of Public Shares our Initial Stockholders, directors, officers, advisors, or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. 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 or Public Warrants 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, Initial Stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. 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 comply with such rules.
The purpose of any such purchases of Public Shares could be to (i) vote such Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination or (ii) to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target 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. The purpose of any such purchases of Public Warrants could be to reduce the number of Public Warrants outstanding or to vote such Public Warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial Business Combination. 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 Common Stock or Public Warrants 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, Initial Stockholders, officers, directors and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom they may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders (in the case of Public Shares) following our mailing of 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 purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against our initial Business Combination, whether or not such stockholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to our initial Business Combination, but only if such Public Shares have not already been voted at the stockholder meeting related to our initial Business Combination. Our Sponsor, executive officers, directors, advisors or any of their affiliates will select which Public Stockholders to purchase Public Shares from based on a negotiated price and number of Public Shares and any other factors that they may deem relevant, and will only purchase Public Shares if such purchases 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 Public Shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. We expect any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchases are subject to such reporting requirements.
Redemption Rights for Public Stockholders upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination
We will provide our Public Stockholders 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable (excluding Excise Taxes)), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. As of December 31, 2024, the amount in the Trust Account available for redemption was approximately $11.24 per Public Shares (before taxes paid or payable). Our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, officers, and directors have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares they may hold in connection with the completion of our initial Business Combination.
See “Flybondi Business Combination” above for more information on redemptions in connection with the Flybondi Business Combination.
Limitations on Redemptions
Our Amended and Restated 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 (so that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). In addition, our proposed initial Business Combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. 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 initial Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial Business Combination or redeem any Public Shares in connection with such initial Business Combination, and all Public Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linked securities or through loans, advances, or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following consummation of our Initial Public Offering, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.
Manner of Conducting Redemptions
We will provide our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination, such as the Flybondi Special Meeting, or (ii) without a stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial 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 stockholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements. Asset acquisitions and stock purchases would not typically require stockholder approval while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our outstanding Common Stock or seek to amend our Amended and Restated Charter would require stockholder approval. So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with Nasdaq’s stockholder approval rules.
The requirement that we provide our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares by one of the two methods listed above is contained in provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter and applies whether or not we maintain our registration under the Exchange Act or our listing on Nasdaq. Such provisions may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our Common Stock entitled to vote thereon.
If we provide our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a stockholder meeting, we will:
•
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, such as the proxy statement/prospectus contained within the Flybondi Registration Statement.
If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock voted are voted in favor of the initial Business Combination. A quorum for such meeting will consist of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of our outstanding capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting. Our Initial Stockholders will count towards this quorum and, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares they hold and any Public Shares purchased during or after our Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial Business Combination. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our outstanding shares of Common Stock voted, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial Business Combination once a quorum is obtained. As a result of the redemptions in connection with the Extensions and the number of outstanding Founder Shares held by our Sponsor, unless otherwise required under applicable law, we will not require the vote of the holders of any of the Public Shares to be voted in favor of an initial Business Combination in order to have our initial Business Combination approved, as the Founder Shares now constitute more than a majority of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreements of our Initial Stockholders, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial Business Combination. Each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or whether they were a stockholder on the record date for the stockholder meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.
If a stockholder vote is not required and we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will:
•
conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, 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.
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 Stockholders 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 (so that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If Public Stockholders tender more Public Shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial Business Combination.
Upon the public announcement of our initial Business Combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we or our Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
We intend to require our Public Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold
their Public Shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their stock certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their Public Shares to our transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to the date on which the vote on the proposal to approve the initial Business Combination is to be held. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a stockholder vote, we intend to require a Public Stockholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such Public Shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, 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 Stockholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. We believe that this will allow our transfer agent to efficiently process any redemptions without the need for further communication or action from the redeeming Public Stockholders, which could delay redemptions and result in additional administrative cost. If the proposed initial Business Combination is not approved and we continue to search for a target company, we will promptly return any certificates or shares delivered by Public Stockholders who elected to redeem their Public Shares.
Our Amended and Restated 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 (so that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). In addition, our proposed initial Business Combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. 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 initial Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the initial Business Combination or redeem any Public Shares in connection with such initial Business Combination, and all Public Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof. We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linked securities or through loans, advances, or other indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, including pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following consummation of our Initial Public Offering, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets or minimum cash requirements.
Limitation on Redemption Upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Stockholder Approval
If we seek stockholder 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 Amended and Restated Charter provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares sold in our Initial Public Offering without our prior consent (the “Excess Shares”). We believe this restriction will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of Public 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 Management Team to purchase their Public Shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Stockholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares sold in our Initial Public Offering could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s Public Shares are not purchased by us, our Sponsor or our Management Team at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the Public Shares sold in our Initial Public Offering without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders 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 stockholders’ ability to vote all of their Public Shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial Business Combination.
Delivering Stock Certificates in Connection with the Exercise of Redemption Rights
As described above, we intend to require our Public Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their Public Shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their stock certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their Public Shares to our transfer agent electronically using the DWAC System, prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, such as the proxy statement/prospectus contained in the Flybondi Registration Statement. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to the date on which the vote on the proposal to approve the initial Business Combination is to be held. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a stockholder vote, we intend to require a Public Stockholder seeking redemption of its Public Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. The proxy materials or tender offer documents, 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 Stockholders to satisfy such delivery requirements. Accordingly, a Public Stockholder would have up to two business days prior to the vote on the initial Business Combination if we distribute proxy materials, or
from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the tender offer period, as applicable, to submit or tender its Public Shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that a Public Stockholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its Public Shares may not be redeemed. Given the relatively short exercise period, it is advisable for Public Stockholders to use electronic delivery of their Public Shares.
There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced process and the act of certificating the Public Shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the broker submitting or tendering shares 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 submit or tender their Public Shares. The need to deliver Public Shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
Any request to redeem such Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. Furthermore, if a holder of a Public Share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to our Public Stockholders electing to redeem their Public Shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our initial Business Combination.
If our initial Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our Public Stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for the applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. In such case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by Public Stockholders who elected to redeem their Public Shares.
If our initial proposed initial Business Combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete an initial Business Combination with a different target by November 5, 2025, the last day of the Combination Period.
Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination
Our Amended and Restated Charter provides that we have until November 5, 2025, to complete our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination by the end of this Combination Period, 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable (excluding Excise Taxes) and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, officers, and directors have entered into a Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period. However, if our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, or Management Team acquire Public Shares in or after our Initial Public Offering, 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 within the allotted Combination Period.
Our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to the Letter Agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our Public Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable (excluding Excise Taxes)), divided by the number of then 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 (so that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of Public Shares such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement, we would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of our Public Shares at such time.
If we do not consummate our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, 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 outside of the $146,565 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account as of December 31, 2024, although we cannot assure our stockholders that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account any tax payments or expenses for the dissolution of the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by Public Stockholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $11.24 (before (i) taxes paid or payable and (ii) potential dissolution expenses of up to $100,000) as of December 31, 2024. 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 Stockholders. We cannot assure our Public Stockholders that the actual per-share redemption amount received by Public Stockholders will not be substantially less than $11.24 (before (i) taxes paid or payable and (ii) potential dissolution expenses of up to $100,000) as of December 31, 2024. Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, our plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against us to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before we make any distribution of our remaining assets to our stockholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure our stockholders that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
Although we seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target 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 Stockholders, 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 consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if Management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in our best interests under the circumstances. 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 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 service provider willing to execute a waiver. The underwriters of our Initial Public Offering and our independent registered public accounting firm will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account. 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 third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.15 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 $10.15 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, less taxes payable; provided, that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) 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. 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. Therefore, we cannot assure our stockholders that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.15 per Public Share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial Business Combination, and our Public Stockholders would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of their Public Shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.15 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 $10.15 per share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, in each case less taxes paid and payable, 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 our stockholders that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.15 per Public Share.
We have sought and will continue to 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 (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target 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. As of December 31, 2024, we have access to up to $146,565 in funds held outside of the Trust Account 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). In the event that we liquidate, and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.
Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our Public Stockholders upon the redemption of our Public Shares in the event we do not complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.
Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our Public Stockholders upon the redemption of our Public Shares in the event we do not complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable (excluding Excise Taxes) and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is our intention to redeem our Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following the end of the Combination Period and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.
Because we will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained in the Underwriting Agreement, dated November 2, 2021, we entered into with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC in connection with our Initial Public Offering, we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target 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 any monies held in the Trust Account. As a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against us are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the Trust Account is remote. Further, our Sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in the Trust Account are not reduced below (i) $10.15 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes and will 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. 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.
If we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy 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 stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure our stockholders we will be able to return $10.15 per share to our Public Stockholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders 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 court could seek to recover some, or all amounts received by our stockholders. 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 Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure our Public Stockholders that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
Our Public Stockholders are entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our Amended and Restated Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our Public Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity or (iii) if they redeem their respective Public Shares for cash upon the completion of our initial Business Combination. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event we seek stockholder approval in connection with our initial Business Combination, a Public Stockholder’s voting in connection with the Business Combination alone will not result in a public Stockholder’s redeeming its Public Shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such Public Stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter, like all provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter, may be amended with a stockholder vote.
Competition
In identifying, evaluating, and selecting a target business for our initial Business Combination, we encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other SPACs, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting Business Combination directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses is limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our Public Stockholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial Business Combination and our outstanding Warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial Business Combination.
Employees
We currently have two (2) executive officers: Enrique Klix and Oliver Matlock. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial Business Combination. The amount of time they devote in any time period varies based on the stage of the Business Combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination.
Periodic Reporting and Financial Information
We have registered our Units, Public Shares, and Public Warrants under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports, including this Report, contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accountant.
We will provide stockholders with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents sent to stockholders to assist them in assessing the target business, such as the Flybondi Registration Statement. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, U.S. GAAP, or IFRS,
depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may conduct an initial Business Combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure our stockholders that any particular target business identified by us as a potential Business Combination candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential Business Combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.
We are required to evaluate our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes- Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such Business Combination.
We filed a Registration Statement on Form 8-A with the SEC to voluntarily register our securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. As a result, we are subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. We have no current intention of filing a Form 15 to suspend our reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act prior or subsequent to the consummation of our initial Business Combination.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by 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 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 stockholder 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 (November 5, 2026), (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 shares of Class A Common Stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
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 Class A Common Stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Class A Common Stock held by non-affiliates equals to or exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, the following is a partial list of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on us and our operations:
•
we are a blank check company and an early stage with no revenue or basis to evaluate our ability to select a suitable business target;
•
we may not be able to select an appropriate target business or businesses and complete our initial Business Combination, including the Flybondi Business Combination, in the prescribed time frame;
•
our expectations around the performance of a prospective target business or businesses, such as Flybondi, may not be realized;
•
we may not be successful in retaining or recruiting required officers, key employees or directors following our initial Business Combination, including the Flybondi Business Combination;
•
our officers and directors may have difficulties allocating their time between our Company and other businesses and may potentially have conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial Business Combination;
•
we may not be able to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination or reduce the number of stockholders requesting redemption;
•
we may issue our shares to investors in connection with our initial Business Combination at a price that is less than the prevailing market price of our shares at that time;
•
our stockholders may not be given the opportunity to choose the initial business target or to vote on the initial Business Combination;
•
Trust Account funds may not be protected against third-party claims or bankruptcy;
•
an active market for our public securities may not develop and our stockholders will have limited liquidity and trading;
•
our financial performance following a Business Combination with an entity may be negatively affected by their lack an established record of revenue, cash flows and experienced management;
•
there may be more competition to find an attractive target for an initial Business Combination, which could increase the costs associated with completing our initial Business Combination and may result in our inability to find a suitable target;
•
changes in the market for directors and officers liability insurance could make it more difficult and more expensive for us to negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination;
•
if we do not consummate the Flybondi Business Combination, we may attempt to simultaneously complete Business Combinations with multiple prospective targets, which may hinder our ability to complete our initial Business Combination and give rise to increased costs and risks that could negatively impact our operations and profitability;
•
we may engage one or more of our underwriters or one of their respective affiliates to provide additional services to us after the Initial Public Offering, which may include acting as a financial advisor in connection with an initial Business Combination or as placement agent in connection with a related financing transaction. These financial incentives may cause them to have potential conflicts of interest in rendering any such additional services to us after the Initial Public Offering, including, for example, in connection with the sourcing and consummation of an initial Business Combination;
•
we may attempt to complete our initial Business Combination with a private company about which little information is available, such as Flybondi, which may result in a Business Combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all;
•
since our Initial Stockholders will lose their entire investment in us if our initial Business Combination is not completed (other than with respect to any Public Shares they may acquire during or after our Initial Public Offering), and because our Sponsor, officers and directors may profit substantially even under circumstances in which our Public Stockholders would experience losses in connection with their investment, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular Business Combination target is appropriate for our initial Business Combination;
•
the value of the Founder Shares following completion of our initial Business Combination is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of our Common Stock at such time is substantially less than $10.15 per share;
•
resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we have not completed our initial Business
Combination within the Combination Period, our Public Stockholders may receive only approximately $10.15 per share (before (i) taxes paid or payable and (ii) potential dissolution expenses of up to $100,000), or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our Warrants will expire worthless;
•
we may not be able to complete an initial Business Combination with certain potential target companies if a proposed transaction with the target company may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). Enrique Klix, our Chief Executive Officer, is the sole managing member of the Sponsor. Mr. Klix is a citizen of Argentina, the United Kingdom and Australia, and is a resident of Australia. Other members of the Sponsor include certain of our officers and directors. To the best of our knowledge, approximately 26.9% of the total allocated membership interests in the Sponsor are owned by U.S. persons on a look-through basis and approximately 73.1% of interests in the Sponsor are owned by non-U.S. persons on a look-through basis. Of the approximately 73.1% of interests in the Sponsor owned by non-U.S. persons, approximately 59.0% are owned by persons in Australia, approximately 10.6% are owned by persons in Hong Kong and 3.5% are owned by persons in Canada. Accordingly, the Sponsor is controlled by a non-U.S. person, and CFIUS may consider our Company to be a “foreign person;”
•
adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, or our prospects;
•
market conditions, economic uncertainty or downturns could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a Business Combination;
•
recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination;
•
military or other conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East or elsewhere may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition of potential target companies, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination;
•
the Excise Tax may be imposed on us in connection with our redemptions of shares in connection with a Business Combination or other stockholder vote pursuant to which stockholders would have a right to submit their shares for redemption;
•
there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”;
•
we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results;
•
we may seek to further extend the Combination Period, which could have a material adverse effect on the amount held in our Trust Account and other adverse effects on our Company;
•
since we did not consummate our initial Business Combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of our IPO Registration Statement, the trading of our securities on Nasdaq has been suspended and our securities were delisted and suspended from trading on November 11, 2024, which may limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and have a material adverse effect on (x) the trading of our securities and (y) our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination;
•
cyber incidents or attacks directed at us or third parties could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss;
•
changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, and results of operations;
•
if we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial Business Combination; and
•
to mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on October 31, 2023, we instructed the trustee 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 at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, we may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest we would have received pursuant to our original Trust Account investments, which could reduce the dollar amount our Public Stockholders would receive upon any redemption or our liquidation.
Our Public Stockholders’ exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of Public Shares in connection with the Extension may affect our ability to complete an initial Business Combination in the most desirable manner that will optimize the capital structure of the combined company, or at all.
Over the past two years, the redemption rate of shares held by public stockholders of SPACs at the time of a stockholder meeting that approves an amendment to the charter of the SPAC or the initial Business Combination of the SPAC has been very high, thereby increasing the likelihood that we, too, may be subject to significant redemptions that may affect our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
In connection with the Extensions, 11,137,330 Public Shares were redeemed, thereby reducing the (x) number of outstanding Public Shares to 362,670 and (y) total amount held in the Trust Account to $4,078,045 (before payment of any taxes paid or payable and as of December 31, 2024).
Due to the high rates of redemptions of Public Shares in connection with stockholder votes on extensions or Business Combinations of SPACs, we may need to rely upon significant PIPE or other outside financing to provide cash to our post-Business Combination company. Obtaining financing in connection with initial Business Combinations of SPACs has in recent times been very difficult, with many financings available only on terms that are onerous to the surviving company of the Business Combination. The failure to secure additional financing on reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of the Sponsor or our other stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial Business Combination. Raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels or on onerous terms. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete a Business Combination in the most desirable manner that will optimize the capital structure of the combined company, or at all. If we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination, our Public Stockholders may only receive approximately $11.24 per Public Share on the liquidation of our Trust Account (before taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, as of December 31, 2024), and our Warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our Public Stockholders may receive less than $11.24 (before taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, as of December 31, 2024) per Public Share on the redemption of their Public Shares.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
Item 5.
Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
(a) Market Information
Our Units commenced public trading on November 3, 2021 on the Nasdaq Global Market, and our Public Shares and Public Warrants commenced separate public trading on December 16, 2021 on the Nasdaq Global Market. Our Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants were each traded under the symbols “INTEU”, “INTE”, and “INTEW”, respectively. On December 21, 2023, the Company’s securities were transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On November 4, 2024 we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, which stated that Nasdaq Staff had determined that (i) our securities would be delisted from Nasdaq, (ii) trading of our Class A Common Stock, Public Warrants, and Units would be suspended at the opening of business on November 11, 2024 and (iii) a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the SEC, which would remove our securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. Under the Nasdaq 36 Month Requirement, a SPAC must complete one or more Business Combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement. Since we failed to complete a Business Combination by November 2, 2024, the Nasdaq Staff concluded that we did not comply with the Nasdaq 36 Month Requirement and our securities were subject to delisting. On November 11, 2024, our securities were delisted; however, as of the date of this Report, the Form 25-NSE has not yet been filed.
Following the suspension of trading on Nasdaq, our Class A Common Stock, Public Warrants, and Units are quoted on the Pink Open Market of the OTC under the symbols “INTEU,” “INTE” and “INTEW,” respectively.
The delisting from Nasdaq and the commencement of trading on the OTC does not affect the Flybondi Business Combination, as the parties continue to work to effectuate the completion of the Flybondi Business Combination. The combined company, which will be Flybondi Holdings plc, has applied for listing of its securities on Nasdaq in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.
We will remain a reporting entity under the Exchange Act, with respect to continued disclosure of financial and operational information.
(b) Holders
On February 18, 2025, there was one holder of record of our Units, three holders of record of shares of our Class A Common Stock, and two holders of record of our Warrants.
(c) Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial Business Combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial Business Combination will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors at such time. In addition, our Board of Directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness in connection with our initial Business Combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.
(d) Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
None.
(e) Performance Graph
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by Regulation S-K Item 201(e).
(f) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
There were no sales of unregistered securities during the fiscal year covered by the Report. However, on November 3, 2023, following the approval of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal at the Second Special Meeting, we issued an aggregate of 2,874,999 shares of our Class A Common Stock (consisting of 2,824,999 shares to our Sponsor and 50,000 shares to an Anchor Investor), upon the
conversion of an equal number of Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and such Anchor Investor in the Founder Share Conversion. The 2,874,999 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Founder Share Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Share Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial Business Combination as described in the IPO Registration Statement; consequently, the shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Founder Share Conversion are not registered under the Securities Act and will remain unregistered until registration is demanded by the Sponsor or such Anchor Investor pursuant to the Letter Agreement. Following the Founder Share Conversion and the redemptions in connection with the Extensions, there were 3,237,669 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and one share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding, and (ii) the Sponsor held 87.3% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. For more information on the Founder Share Conversion and the Founder Shares’ transfer restrictions, see Item 1. “Business.”
(f) Use of Proceeds from the Initial Public Offering
For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 5 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the IPO Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.
On October 31, 2023, we instructed Continental 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 at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, as described elsewhere in this Report. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.
(g) Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
On October 31, 2024, we held the Third Special Meeting, at which, our stockholders approved, among other things, the Third Extension Amendment Proposal, which extended the date we had to consummate an initial Business Combination from November 5, 2024 to November 5, 2025, on a monthly basis (or such earlier date as determined by the Board). In connection with the vote to approve the Third Extension Amendment Proposal, stockholders holding 835,672 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $9.5 million (approximately $11.41 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming Public Stockholders.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our Management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on February 16, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination.
Our Sponsor, Integral Sponsor, LLC, is a Delaware limited liability company. The IPO Registration Statement was declared effective on November 2, 2021. On November 5, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase 1,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 4,950,000 Private Placement Warrants (including 90,000 Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the exercise in full by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional Units) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $4,950,000.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, Management agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.15 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds of the Private Placement, would be held in the Trust Account with Continental acting as trustee, and would be initially invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct Treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if we have not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our Public Stockholders.
If we are unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable (excluding Excise Taxes) and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 our remaining stockholders and the Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable laws.
Recent Developments
Since December 31, 2024 through the date of this Report, an aggregate of $21,760 has been deposited into the Trust Account to extend the Combination Period to March 5, 2025 under the Third Extension Promissory Note.
We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. Our operations included those activities necessary to consummate a Business Combination. As such, we deducted startup and operating costs for tax return purposes. As a result, we recognized a reserve for uncertain tax positions on the balance sheet. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we reported $371,214 and $0 on the balance sheet of the financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report for this uncertainty. In January 2025, we amended our 2023 corporate tax return.
Flybondi Business Combination
On October 19, 2023, we entered into the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement, with Flybondi, FB Parent Holdings, Merger Sub and the Signing Sellers. After the date of the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement, the Joining Sellers may join the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement by executing and delivering a Seller Joinder.
On July 2, 2024, we entered into the Novation Agreement with FB Parent, Merger Sub, Flybondi, FB Parent Holdings and the Sellers, pursuant to which the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement was amended to substitute FB Parent for FB Parent Holdings therein.
On October 1, 2024, the parties to the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement to extend the Agreement End Date (as defined in the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement) from November 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
The Flybondi Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions: (i) FB Parent will acquire the shares of Flybondi held by the Sellers in exchange for the issuance by FB Parent of new ordinary shares of FB Parent, and (ii) we will merge with and into Merger Sub, with us continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FB Parent, and each of our issued and outstanding securities immediately prior to such merger will be cancelled and converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of FB Parent.
For a full description of the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement and the proposed Flybondi Business Combination, please see Item 1. “Business”.
Extensions of our Combination Period
On May 3, 2023, we held the First Special Meeting. At the First Special Meeting, our stockholders approved the First Extension Amendment Proposal, which extended the date we had to consummate an initial Business Combination from May 5, 2023 to November 3, 2023. In connection with the vote to approve the First Extension Amendment Proposal, stockholders holding 8,470,059 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $87,843,748 (approximately $10.37 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming stockholders.
On November 2, 2023, we held the Second Special Meeting, at which our stockholders approved, among other things, the Charter Amendment Proposals. Following approval of the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, our Combination Period was extended from November 3, 2023 to November 5, 2024. In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals, the holders of 1,831,599 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $19,763,618 (approximately $10.79 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming stockholders.
On October 31, 2024, we held the Third Special Meeting, at which our stockholders approved, among other things, the Third Extension Amendment Proposal, which extended the date we had to consummate an initial Business Combination from November 5, 2024 to November 5, 2025, on a monthly basis (or such earlier date as determined by the Board). In connection with the vote to approve the Third Extension Amendment Proposal, stockholders holding 835,672 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $9,538,763 (approximately $11.41 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming stockholders.
We may seek to further extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules. Such an extension would require the approval of our Public Stockholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization.
Founder Share Conversion
Following the approval of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal at the Second Special Meeting, on November 3, 2023, we issued an aggregate of 2,874,999 shares of our Class A Common Stock (consisting of 2,824,999 shares to our Sponsor and 50,000 shares to an Anchor Investor) upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by our Sponsor and such Anchor Investor, respectively. The 2,874,999 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Founder Share Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Common Stock before the Founder Share Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination, as described in the IPO Registration Statement. Following the Founder Share Conversion and the redemptions in connection with the Extensions, there were 3,237,669 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and one share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. As a result, our Sponsor holds approximately 87.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock.
Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2024, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 16, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2024 relates to our formation and the Initial Public Offering and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective and consummation of an initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and held in our Trust Account. We incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had net loss of $1,242,758, which consisted of operating costs of $1,669,167 and provision for income tax of $179,920, partially offset by interest income from the Trust Account of $606,329.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had net income of $1,527,595, which consisted of operating costs of $2,414,736, an unrealized gain on the change in the fair value of the FPAs of $1,696,965 and provision from income tax of $497,003, partially offset by interest income from the Trust Account of $2,742,369.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2024, we had $146,565 in our operating bank account, and a working capital deficit of $4,372,904.
Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied through (i) a loan under the IPO Promissory Note issued to the Sponsor totaling $252,950 and (ii) the issuance of 2,875,000 Class B Common Stock at approximately $0.009 per share for gross proceeds of $25,000. The IPO Promissory Note has been repaid and no other borrowings are permitted. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the issuance of the Private Placement Warrants, which generated gross proceeds of $4,950,000, the 2023 Promissory Note and the 2024 Promissory Note.
Extension Promissory Notes
In connection with the approval of the First Extension Amendment Proposal at the First Special Meeting, we issued the First Extension Promissory Note on May 8, 2023 in the aggregate principal amount of up to $630,000 to the Sponsor. The First Extension Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. Additionally, we agreed to make monthly deposits of $105,000 into the Trust Account for
each calendar month (commencing on May 8, 2023) or portion thereof, that was needed by us to complete an initial Business Combination until November 3, 2023, and such amount will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Public Shares upon our liquidation or (ii) Public Stockholders who elect to have their Pubic Shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $355,000 of borrowings under the First Extension Promissory Note.
In connection with the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals at the Second Special Meeting, we issued the Second Extension Promissory Note on November 8, 2023 in the aggregate principal amount of up to $359,503 to the Sponsor. The Second Extension Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. Additionally, we will continue to deposit $29,959 into the Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on November 8, 2023 and ending on the 5th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by us to complete an initial Business Combination until November 5, 2024, and such amount will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Public Shares upon our liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $359,503 and $59,917, respectively, of borrowings under the Second Extension Promissory Note.
In connection with the approval of the Third Extension Amendment Proposal at the Third Special Meeting, we issued the Third Extension Promissory Note on November 6, 2024 in the aggregate principal amount of up to $130,561 to the Sponsor. The Third Extension Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. Additionally, we have deposited and will continue to deposit $10,880 into the Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on November 6, 2024 and ending on the 5th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by us to complete an initial Business Combination until November 5, 2025, and such amount will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Public Shares upon our liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination. At December 31, 2024, we had $21,760 of borrowings under the Third Extension Promissory Note.
Through December 31, 2024, we had deposited an aggregate of $1,011,263 to fund the Trust Account under the Extension Promissory Notes.
Working Capital Promissory Notes
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required on a non-interest basis. If we complete an initial Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.
On July 10, 2023, we issued the 2023 Promissory Note to the Sponsor in an amount of up to $1,500,000 in connection with the convertible Working Capital Loans. The 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. Additionally, at the option of the Sponsor, the unpaid principle may be converted into warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the convertible Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the convertible Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we owed $1,500,000 and $910,083, respectively, under the 2023 Promissory Note and reported the amounts as “Working Capital Loans - convertible” on the balance sheets of the financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report.
On September 12, 2024, we issued the 2024 Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3,000,000 to the Sponsor. The 2024 Promissory Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to us for working
capital and transaction expenses. The 2024 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummates our initial Business Combination and (ii) the date our winding up is effective. At December 31, 2024 we had $531,493 of borrowings under the 2024 Promissory Note.
Excise Tax Liability
Included on the balance sheet at December 31, 2023 balance sheet of the financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report is $900,000 of cash released to us by the Cartesian Escrow Parties for the payment of our Excise Tax liability. Such amount was released to us solely for the purpose of paying our Excise Tax liability and (i) under conditions as stipulated in the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement and (ii) was held by us in a segregated bank account. On October 23, 2024, we filed our Excise Tax return and paid $1,076,073 using $900,000 acquired from the Cartesian Escrow Parties in association with the Flybondi Business Combination Agreement, along with other funds from our Company.
Demand Deposit Account Transfer
On October 31, 2023, we instructed Continental 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 at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASU 2014-15, Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should we be unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and insufficient cash, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Following the Third Special Meeting and approval of the Third Extension Amendment Proposal, we have until November 5, 2025 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of our Company. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the end of the Combination Period.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.
Services Agreement
On November 2, 2021, we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Services Agreement. Upon completion of the Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Total administrative fee for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are $240,000, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, $120,000 and $80,000 is reported on the balance sheets of the financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report as due to the Sponsor for the administrative fees due, respectively.
Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Consulting and Advisory Services
On May 28, 2021, we entered into a letter agreement with J.V.B., pursuant to which, we engaged Cohen & Company to provide consulting and advisory services in connection with the Initial Public Offering in return for a transaction fee to be paid to J.V.B. in an amount equal to 10.0% of the aggregate underwriting discount and commissions earned by the underwriters in connection with the Initial Public Offering to be paid simultaneously with the actual payment of such underwriting discount and commissions to the underwriters upon (i) the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (ii) the completion of the initial Business Combination. J.V.B. was one of the Anchor Investors that purchased Units in the Initial Public Offering and became a member of the Sponsor at the closing of our Initial Public Offering and holds an indirect interest in a specified number of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor.
On November 4, 2021, we paid J.V.B. $85,000 in cash from funds outside of the Trust Account. Funds due to J.V.B. upon the completion of the initial Business Combination ($605,000 in the aggregate) were to be paid by the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering.
On November 9, 2023, our Company and J.V.B. mutually agreed to terminate this arrangement. No further transactions fees will be payable to J.V.B. under this engagement of services.
Underwriter Agreement
The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering were entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $0.50 on the first 10,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and $0.70 per Unit per Unit sold thereafter, or $6,050,000 in the aggregate. On August 28, 2023, the underwriters waived any right to receive the deferred underwriting commission and will therefore receive no additional underwriting commissions in connection with the Flybondi Business Combination. As a result, $6,050,000 was recorded to accumulated deficit in relation to the reduction of the deferred underwriter fee. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the deferred underwriting fee is $0.
We comply with ASC 405 and derecognized the deferred underwriting commission liability upon being released of the obligation by the underwriters. To account for the waiver of the deferred underwriting commission, we reduced the deferred underwriter commission liability to $0 and reversed the previously recorded cost of issuing the instruments in the Initial Public Offering, which included a reduction in the accumulated deficit and increased income available to Class B Common Stock by $6,050,000, which was previously allocated to the Class A Common Stock subject to redemption and accretion recognized at the date of the Initial Public Offering.
Anchor Investment
The Anchor Investors purchased an aggregate of approximately $60.8 million of the Units in the Initial Public Offering at the public offering price. There can be no assurance that the Anchor Investors will retain their Units prior to or upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination. In addition, none of the Anchor Investors has any obligation to vote any of their Public Shares in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The Anchor Investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to our other Public Stockholders, and were only issued equity interests in our Sponsor, with no right to control our Sponsor or vote or dispose of any securities held by our Sponsor. Further, unlike some anchor investor arrangements of other blank check companies, the Anchor Investors are not required to (i) hold any Units, Class A Common Stock or Public Warrants they may have purchased in the Initial Public Offering or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any shares of Class A Common Stock they may own at the applicable time in favor of our initial Business Combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Public Shares at the time of our initial Business Combination. The Anchor Investors have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold as the rights afforded to our other Public Stockholders.
Forward Purchase Agreements
On August 23, 2021, pursuant to the FPAs, Crescent Park, which is one of the Anchor Investors, and Carnegie Park agreed to purchase up to 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Shares in the case of Crescent Park, and up to 500,000 Forward Purchase Shares in the case of
Carnegie Park at $10.00 per share (as such price per share may be reduced to $9.20 per share or further reduced to below $9.20 per share with respect to all or part of the Forward Purchase Shares) for gross proceeds up to $30,000,000 in the aggregate if all of the Forward Purchase Shares were purchased at $10.00 per share (or up to $27,600,000 in the aggregate if all of the Forward Purchase Shares were purchased at $9.20 per share or up to a lower amount in the aggregate if all of the Forward Purchase Shares were purchased at less than $9.20 per share) in private placements that would occur concurrently with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.
On December 8, 2023 and December 12, 2023, we and each of Carnegie Park and Crescent Park entered into the FPA Termination Agreements to mutually terminate and cancel the FPAs.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
We account for income taxes under ASC 740. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. We assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from the existing deferred tax liabilities or future taxable income. To the extent we believe that recovery will not meet the more likely than not threshold, it establishes a valuation allowance.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 due to identified material weaknesses related to errors in fair value calculation of certain financial instruments and lack of controls in connection with accuracy and completeness of unrecorded liabilities and income tax payable, including New York State taxes, and timely review of the difference between the 2023 tax provision and corporate income tax return that resulted in a potential tax liability of $371,214 as of September 30, 2024. Management plans to enhance internal controls and procedures, including enhancing access to accounting literature, identification and consideration of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and implementing additional layers of reviews in the financial close process.
In light of this material weakness, we have enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements including making greater use of third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We believe our efforts will enhance our controls relating to accounting for complex financial transactions, but we can offer no assurance that our controls will not require additional review and modification in the future as industry accounting practice may evolve over time.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 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 as of December 31, 2024. 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 did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.
Management has implemented remediation steps to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.
This Report does not include an attestation report of our internal controls from 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
Other than as discussed above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Klix holds a degree in Economics from the Universidad Católica Argentina and an MBA from the University of Cambridge in England.

Mr. Cotton is also a director of Monterosa Capital Australia Pty. Ltd., Tech 4 Good Pty. Ltd., and Moovosity Pty. Ltd. Mr. Cotton holds a Bachelor of Law and Science from the University of Melbourne. We believe Mr. Cotton’s broad investing background makes him well qualified to serve on our Board.

Family and Close Personal Relationships
Other than as set forth below, no family or close personal relationships exist between any of our directors or executive officers:
Enrique Klix and James Cotton are brothers-in-law.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There are no material proceedings to which any director or executive officer, or any associate of any such director or officer is a party adverse to our Company, or has a material interest adverse to our Company.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
We currently have five directors. Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we were not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The Second Special Meeting on November 2, 2023 was held in lieu of our first annual meeting of stockholders. The Third Special Meeting on October 31, 2024 was held in lieu of our second annual meeting of stockholders.
The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Ms. Thornton, who was re-elected at our Second Special Meeting, will expire at our fourth annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Mr. Cotton and Mr. Hutton, who were re-elected at our Third Special Meeting, will expire at the fifth annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Mr. Klix and Mr. Javeri, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders.
Our officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board of Directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our Amended and Restated Charter. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretaries and such other offices as may be determined by the Board of Directors.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has two standing committees: the Audit Committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the Audit Committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.
Audit Committee
We have established an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Stuart Hutton, Niraj Javeri and Lynne Thornton serve as members of our Audit Committee, and Mr. Hutton chairs the Audit Committee. All members of our Audit Committee are independent of and unaffiliated with our Sponsor and our underwriters.
Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate, and our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Hutton qualifies as an “Audit Committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.
We have adopted an amended Audit Committee charter, which details the principal functions of the Audit Committee, including:
•
meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;
•
monitoring the independence of the registered public accounting firm;
•
verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;
•
inquiring and discussing with Management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
•
pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;
•
appointing or replacing the registered public accounting firm;
•
determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between Management and the registered public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;
•
establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;
•
monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of our Initial Public Offering and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing compliance with the terms of our Initial Public Offering;
•
reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing stockholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our Audit Committee will be reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval; and
•
advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions of Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act (the “Clawback Rule”) are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the Clawback Rule.
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of the Board of Directors. Stuart Hutton, Niraj Javeri and Lynne Thornton serve as members of our compensation committee. Mr. Javeri chairs the compensation committee.
We have adopted an amended 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’s based on such evaluation;
•
reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive 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 executive officers and employees;
•
producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement;
•
reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors; and
•
advising the Board and any other Board committees if the clawback provisions of the Clawback Rule are triggered based upon a financial statement restatement or other financial statement change, with the assistance of Management and to the extent that our securities continue to be listed on an exchange and subject to the Clawback Rule.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than those payments and reimbursements described under Item 11. “Executive Compensation” below, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting, or other similar fees, has been or will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, officers, directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an initial Business Combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial Business Combination.
The charter of the compensation committee 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 adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Stuart Hutton, Niraj Javeri, and Lynne Thornton. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.
The Board of Directors also considers director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our Board of Directors should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.
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 stockholders.
Board Observers
In connection with investments in our Sponsor, certain individuals have been granted Board observer rights to our Board of Directors. Such individuals are permitted to attend, in a non-voting capacity, our meetings of the Board of Directors. Such individuals have entered into agreements and have agreed to keep any information discussed or disclosed at any such Board meetings confidential.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers, and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics and the charters of the committees 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.
Trading Policies
On February 12, 2025, we adopted insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable stock exchange listing standards (the “Insider Trading Policy”).
The foregoing description of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Insider Trading Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 19 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Compensation Recovery and Clawback Policy
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the event of misconduct that results in a financial restatement that would have reduced a previously paid incentive amount, we can recoup those improper payments from our executive officers. The SEC has also adopted rules that direct national stock exchanges to require listed companies to implement policies intended to recoup bonuses paid to executives if the company is found to have misstated its financial results.
On November 30, 2023, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Executive Compensation Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), with an effective date of October 2, 2023, in order to comply with the final clawback rules adopted by the SEC under the Clawback Rule, and the listing standards, as set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 (the “Final Clawback Rules”).
The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from our current and former executive officers as defined in the Clawback Rule (“Covered Officers”) in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement, in accordance with the Final Clawback Rules. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Clawback Policy, our Board of Directors may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which we are required to prepare an accounting restatement.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Item 11.
Executive Compensation.
Except as disclosed herein, none of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We pay our Sponsor up to $20,000 per month for administrative and other services. In addition, subject to approval by our Audit Committee, we pay members of our Board of Directors for advisory or consulting services that are provided to us in connection with our initial Business Combination and our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combination. Our Audit Committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, executive officers, or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination are made from funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly Audit Committee review of such payments, 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, has been or will be paid by us 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 stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed Business Combination, such as the Flybondi Registration Statement. 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 target 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.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Item 13.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
On February 16, 2021 our Sponsor subscribed for an aggregate 2,875,000 Founder Shares for a total subscription price of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of our Initial Public Offering would be a maximum of 11,500,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after our Initial Public Offering.
Up to 375,000 of the Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised. At the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option resulting in no Founder Shares being subject to forfeiture. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Anchor Investors collectively acquired from the Sponsor in the aggregate 500,000 Founder Shares. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, offering cost associated with the Initial Public Offering includes $3,386,739 of excess value of the Anchor Investors. The valuation of $6.78 per Founder Share (or $3,391,739 in the aggregate) of the Anchor Investors was reduced by $0.01 per Founder Share (or $5,000 in the aggregate), the price paid for the Founder Shares. The valuation was determined using an internal Monte Carlo simulation model.
Following the approval of the Founder Share Amendment Proposal at the Second Special Meeting, on November 3, 2023, we issued an aggregate of 2,874,999 shares of our Class A Common Stock (consisting of 2,824,999 shares to our Sponsor and 50,000 shares to an Anchor Investor) upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of our Class B Common Stock, held by our Sponsor and such Anchor Investor, respectively. The 2,874,999 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Founder Share Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B Common Stock before the Founder Share Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination, as described in the IPO Registration Statement. Following the Founder Share Conversion and the redemptions in connection with the Extensions, there were 3,237,669 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and one share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. As a result, our Sponsor holds approximately 87.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock.
Our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,950,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $4,950,000 in the aggregate, in the Private Placement. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination.
We currently utilize office space at 1330 Avenue of the Americas, 23rd Floor, New York, New York 10019 from our Sponsor. We pay up to $20,000 per month for administrative and other services under the Services Agreement. Upon completion of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees, pursuant to the Services Agreement.
Subject to approval by our Audit Committee, we may pay members of our Board of Directors for advisory or consulting services that may be provided to us in connection with our initial Business Combination. In addition, our Sponsor, executive officers, and directors, or any of their respective affiliates are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combination. Other than the foregoing, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, has been or will be paid by us to our Sponsor, executive officers, and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial Business Combination. Our Audit Committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates.
On February 16, 2021, our Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. The IPO Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021 or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the IPO Promissory Note was repaid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering However, at the time of the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor was over paid $138,493 and this amount was repaid to us on November 11, 2021.
On May 28, 2021, we entered into a letter agreement with J.V.B. pursuant to which Cohen & Company agreed to provide consulting and advisory services in connection with the Initial Public Offering in return for a transaction fee to be paid to J.V.B. in an amount equal to 10.0% of the aggregate underwriting discount and commissions earned by the underwriters in connection with the Initial Public Offering to be paid simultaneously with the actual payment of such underwriting discount and commissions to the underwriters upon (i) the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (ii) the completion of the initial Business Combination. J.V.B. was one of the Anchor Investors that purchased Units in the Initial Public Offering and became a member of the Sponsor at the closing of our Initial Public Offering, and holds an indirect interest in a specified number of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor. On November 4, 2021, we paid J.V.B. $85,000 in cash from funds outside of the Trust Account. Funds due to J.V.B. upon the completion of the initial Business Combination ($605,000 in the aggregate) were to be paid by the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering. On November 9, 2023, our Company and J.V.B. mutually agreed to terminate this arrangement. No further transactions fees will be payable to J.V.B. under this engagement of services.
On August 23, 2021, pursuant to the FPAs, Crescent Park, which is one of our Anchor Investors, and Carnegie Park agreed to purchase up to 2,500,000 Forward Purchase Shares in the case of Crescent Park and up to 500,000 Forward Purchase Shares in the case of Carnegie Park at $10.00 per share (as such price per share may be reduced to $9.20 per share or further reduced to below $9.20 per share with respect to all or part of the Forward Purchase Shares) for gross proceeds up to $30,000,000 in the aggregate if all of the Forward Purchase Shares were purchased at $10.00 per share (or up to $27,600,000 in the aggregate if all of the Forward Purchase Shares were purchased at $9.20 per share or up to a lower amount in the aggregate if all of the Forward Purchase Shares were purchased at less than $9.20 per share) in private placements that would occur concurrently with the consummation of the initial Business Combination. On December 8, 2023 and December 12, 2023, we and each of Carnegie Park and Crescent Park entered into the FPA Termination Agreements to mutually terminate and cancel the FPAs.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required on a non-interest basis. If we complete an initial Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.
On May 8, 2023, we issued the First Extension Promissory Note to the Sponsor in an amount of up to $630,000, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $630,000. Pursuant to the First Extension Promissory Note, $105,000 was deposited into the Trust Account per month, beginning on May 8, 2023 through November 3, 2023, for the benefit of the Public Stockholders who did not redeem their Public Shares in connection with the First Extension. The First Extension Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation As of December 31, 2024, we had borrowings of $355,000 under the First Extension Promissory Note.
On July 10, 2023, we issued the 2023 Promissory Note to the Sponsor in an amount of up to $1,500,000 in connection with Working Capital Loans. The 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on
which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. Additionally, at the option of the Sponsor, the unpaid principle may be converted into warrants at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2024, we owed $1,500,000 under the 2023 Promissory Note.
On November 8, 2023, we issued the Second Extension Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $359,503 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to us up to $359,503. Pursuant to the First Extension Promissory Note, $29,959 was deposited into the Trust Account per month, beginning on November 8, 2023 through November 5, 2024, for the benefit of the Public Stockholders who did not redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Second Extension. The Second Extension Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. At December 31, 2024, we had borrowings of $359,503 under the Second Extension Promissory Note.
On September 12, 2024, we issued the 2024 Promissory Note to the Sponsor in an amount of up to $3,000,000 in connection with Working Capital Loans. The 2024 Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2024, we owed $531,493 under the 2024 Promissory Note
On November 6, 2024, we issued the Third Extension Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $130,561 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to us up to $130,561. Pursuant to the Third Extension Promissory Note, $10,880 has been and will continue to be deposited into the Trust Account per month, beginning on November 6, 2024 through November 5, 2025, for the benefit of the Public Stockholders who did not redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Third Extension. The Third Extension Promissory Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation. At December 31, 2024, we had borrowings of $21,760 under the Third Extension Promissory Note.
Any of the foregoing payments to our Sponsor, repayments of loans from our Sponsor or repayments of Working Capital Loans prior to our initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.
After our initial Business Combination, members of our Management Team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, furnished to our stockholders, such as the Flybondi Registration Statement. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our initial Business Combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) will have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, officers, and directors waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period. However, if our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, or Management Team acquire Public Shares in or after our Initial Public Offering, 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 within the allotted Combination Period.
Additionally, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, officers and directors agreed to not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our Public Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable (excluding Excise Taxes)), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
For more information on the agreements entered into in connection with the Flybondi Business Combination, see Item 1. “Business.”
Director Independence
Nasdaq rules require that a majority of our Board of Directors be independent within one year of our Initial Public Offering. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). We currently have three “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq rules and applicable SEC rules. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Hutton, Mr. Javeri, and Ms. Thornton are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
