ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business.
Overview
As of December 31, 2022, we were a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 20, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).
Our registration statements for our initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) became effective on July 15, 2020. On July 20, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,300,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,300,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 7,060,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a Private Placement to the Sponsor (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $7,060,000.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 20, 2020, an amount of $253,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Trust Account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to our shareholders, as described below.
As of December 31, 2022, our Class A common stock, warrants and units traded on the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) under the symbols “HPX,” “HPX.WS” and “HPX.U,” respectively. Our units commenced public trading on July 16, 2020 and our Class A common stock and warrants commenced separate public trading on September 5, 2020. On March 3, 2023, the NYSE American filed a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing) with the SEC relating to the delisting of our units, Class A common stock and warrants. As a result, our units, Class A common stock and warrants are no longer listed on the NYSE American.
Combination Period Extensions
As previously reported in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2022, on July 14, 2022, in connection with its Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 14, 2022 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved: (1) a special resolution to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (the “Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must (a) consummate a Business Combination, (b) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination, and (c) redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s Initial Public Offering from July 20, 2022 to November 20, 2022; and (2) the proposal to extend the date on which Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) must liquidate the trust account established in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering if the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination from July 20, 2022 to November 20, 2022 (the “Trust Amendment” and, together with the Extension Amendment, the “Initial Extension”).
On November 3, 2022, in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved an additional extension of the Combination Period from November 20, 2022 to March 31, 2023 (the “Additional Extension”).
For further information, please see the Company’s current report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on July 14, 2022, the Company’s current report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on November 4, 2022, and Notes 1 and 10 of the financial statements included in this Annual Report.
Downside Protection Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, certain PIPE investors (“PIPE Investors”) entered into a share subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with the Company and AMBI, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to subscribe to AMBI Class A ordinary shares at the closing of the Business Combination.
In addition, the Sponsor has signed a Downside Protection Agreement (“DPA”) with the PIPE Investors and the Non-Redeeming Shareholders, pursuant to which these investors are provided with certain downside protection rights subsequent to the closing date of the Business Combination Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the DPA, including the investment return on a 30-month period, the investors may receive, on a pro-rata basis, an aggregate of up to 1,050,000 AMBI Class A ordinary shares directly from the Sponsor (see Note 2 and Note 9).
Shareholder Non-Redemption Agreements
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company, owning, in the aggregate, 600,000 Class A ordinary shares (each, a “Non-Redeeming Shareholder”), have entered into non-redemption agreements (each, a “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with the Company and AMBI, under which, among other things, such Non-Redeeming Shareholders have agreed, in consideration of (i) an aggregate of 26,400 additional AMBI Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 150,000 AMBI Warrants, in each case to be issued by AMBI to such Non-Redeeming Shareholders on or promptly following the Closing, to vote in favor of transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement for which the approval of such shareholders is required and agreed not to redeem or exercise any right to redeem any Class A ordinary shares of the Company that such shareholders hold of record or beneficially. Concurrently with the execution of the Non-Redemption Agreements, Trend HPX SPAC FIA IE, represented by its investment manager XP Allocation Asset Management Ltda. (“XP”), owning 1,297,400 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, has entered into a certain non-redemption agreement with the Company and AMBI (the “XP Non-Redemption Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, XP will be entitled to (i) an aggregate of 57,086 additional AMBI Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 324,350 AMBI Warrants, in each case to be issued by AMBI to XP on or promptly following the Closing, in the event XP does not redeem the SPAC Shares of which it is the record and beneficial owner in connection with any Extension sought on or prior to July 15, 2022. The Company and the Sponsor are named third-party beneficiaries under the Shareholder Non-Redemption Agreements. In the event that the Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, and the Company does not complete a business combination before March 31, 2023, the Non-Redemption Agreement will no longer apply.
Redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares
As previously reported in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2022, on July 14, 2022, in connection with the vote to approve the Combination Period Extension, the holders of 19,472,483 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.018 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $195.1 million, which included approximately $0.4 million of Trust Account earnings, leaving approximately $58.4 million in the Trust Account.

As of December 31, 2022, the redemption amount is not required to be classified as a liability as the event occurred subsequent to that date. As of December 31, 2022, there were 2,176,544 Class A ordinary shares outstanding.

Ambipar Emergency Response Business Combination
On the Closing Date, the Company consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, by and among the Company, AMBI, Merger Sub, Emergencia, and Ambipar.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, one business day before the Closing Date, Ambipar contributed all of the issued and outstanding equity of Emergencia into Merger Sub in exchange for the newly issued ordinary shares of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Ordinary Shares”). On the Closing Date, (i) the Company merged with and into AMBI, with AMBI as the surviving entity (the “First Merger” and the effective time of the First Merger, the “First Effective Time”) and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into AMBI, with AMBI as the surviving entity and holding all of the issued and outstanding equity of Emergencia (the “Second Merger” and the effective time of the Second Merger, the “Second Effective Time”; the Second Merger together with the First Merger, the “Mergers;” and the Mergers, collectively with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).
As part of the Business Combination, at the First Effective Time: (i) each issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share, was canceled and converted into the right to receive one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of AMBI (the “AMBI Class A Ordinary Shares”); (ii) each issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase the Class A Ordinary Shares was converted into one warrant to purchase one AMBI Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrants”), subject to the same terms and conditions existing prior to such conversion, and (iii) each outstanding and unvested restricted stock unit in respect of Class A Ordinary Shares was converted into a restricted stock unit settled in AMBI Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such restricted stock units of the Company as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time.
Additionally, at the Second Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Merger Sub Ordinary Share was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration comprised of Class B ordinary shares of AMBI, par value $0.0001 per share, which carry voting rights in the form of 10 votes per share of AMBI (the “AMBI Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with AMBI Class A Ordinary Shares, the “AMBI Ordinary Shares”), as determined in accordance with the per share consideration set forth in the Business Combination Agreement; provided that the number of AMBI Class B Ordinary Shares issued to Ambipar was adjusted downwards by $3,572,446, which is the amount corresponding, at one share for every $10.00, to the transaction expenses incurred by Emergencia in excess of $9,500,000 not reimbursed by Ambipar pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.
The Business Combination was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors and was approved at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on February 28, 2023 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”).

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 20, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses.
Recent Developments
On the Closing Date, the Company consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, by and among the Company, AMBI, Merger Sub, Emergencia, and Ambipar.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, one business day before the Closing Date, Ambipar contributed all of the issued and outstanding equity of Emergencia into Merger Sub in exchange for the newly issued Merger Sub Ordinary Shares. On the Closing Date, (i) the Company merged with and into AMBI, with AMBI as the surviving entity and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into AMBI, with AMBI as the surviving entity and holding all of the issued and outstanding equity of Emergencia.
As part of the Business Combination, at the First Effective Time: (i) each issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share was canceled and converted into the right to receive one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of AMBI (the “AMBI Class A Ordinary Shares”); (ii) each issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase the Class A Ordinary Shares was converted into one warrant to purchase one AMBI Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrants”), subject to the same terms and conditions existing prior to such conversion, and (iii) each outstanding and unvested restricted stock unit in respect of Class A Ordinary Shares was converted into a restricted stock unit settled in AMBI Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such restricted stock units of the Company as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

The Business Combination was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors and was approved at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on February 28, 2023 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”).
On March 3, 2023, the NYSE American filed a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing) with the SEC relating to the delisting of our units, Class A common stock and warrants. As a result, our units, Class A common stock and warrants are no longer listed on the NYSE American.

The Company’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act have been suspended.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities through December 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, the search for a target company for a Business Combination, the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and in connection with the preparation of the consummation of the Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of earnings from the cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account and gain (loss) from changes in the fair values of warrant liabilities and PIPE derivative liability. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $3,425,810, which consisted of operating costs of $6,633,923 and change in fair value of PIPE derivative liability of $61,363, partially offset by a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,278,476, interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $694,357 and other income of $296,643.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had a net income of $9,394,728, which consisted of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $10,533,024, interest income from the operating bank account of $89, and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $25,305, partially offset by operating costs of $1,163,690.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On July 20, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,300,000 Units, inclusive of the underwriter’s election to fully exercise its option to purchase an additional 3,300,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 7,060,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant generating gross proceeds of $7,060,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option in full and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $253,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $14,528,328 in transaction costs, including $5,060,000 of underwriting fees, $8,855,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $613,328 of other costs.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $1,255,404. Net loss of $3,425,810 was affected by interest income on marketable securities of $694,357, a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,278,476, a change in fair value of PIPE derivative liability of $61,363 and other income of $296,643. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $5,378,519 of cash from operating activities, due primarily to an increase in deferred legal fees.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $582,258. Net income of $9,394,728 was affected by interest income on marketable securities of $25,305 and a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $10,533,024. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $581,343 of cash from operating activities due primarily to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
At December 31, 2022, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $21,905,597. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
At December 31, 2022, we had cash of $199,388 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a 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 loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2022, there were no amounts drawn.
On August 11, 2021, the Sponsor committed to provide the Company an aggregate of $150,000 in loans for working capital purposes. On February 21, 2022, the Sponsor committed to provide the Company with an additional $755,000 in loans for working capital purposes, bring the total commitment amount to $905,000. On June 24, 2022, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an aggregate of $700,000 for working capital purposes. On November 30, 2022, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an additional aggregate of $205,000 for working capital purposes.
On January 17, 2023, under the terms of an additional promissory note entered into between the Company and the Sponsor on the same date, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $410,000, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an additional $410,000 for working capital purposes, bringing the total commitment amount to $1,315,000. These loans were evidenced by two promissory notes which were non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation by the Company of a business combination, without an option of the Sponsor to convert any amount outstanding thereunder upon completion of a business combination into warrants. As of December 31, 2022, $905,000 were outstanding under such loan.
The outstanding amount as of December 31, 2022 and the additional amounts incurred in January 17, 2023, were substantially forgiven, and the balance repaid, on the Closing Date. In March 2023, a total of $121,650 was repaid on the working capital loans and $1,168,548 was forgiven by the Sponsor. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships And Related Party Transactions- Debt Forgiveness Agreement.”
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services, provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on July 16, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.
We have arrangements with a consultant to provide services to us relating to market and industry analyses, assistance with due diligence, and financial modeling and valuation of a potential targets. We agreed to pay the service provider a fee of 6,600 BRL per month (approximately $1,200 per month). The agreement is for a fixed term of 24 months and terminated on September 15, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a binomial lattice simulation. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units on September 8, 2020, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the issuance date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The PIPE derivative liability as a result of the Downside Protection Agreement signed by the Sponsor with PIPE Investors and the Non-Redeeming Shareholders meets the criteria for derivative liability classification. As such, the PIPE derivative liability is recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the PIPE derivative liability are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the statements of operations. The fair value of the PIPE derivative liability is discussed in Note 9 of our financial statements included in this Annual Report.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9.A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to (1) the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments and (2) the lack of effective segregation of duties within cash management procedures.
Management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for complex financial instruments and determined that the processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements were not adequate. In addition, Management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the Company’s controls as of December 31, 2022, that allowed the CEO/CFO to both initiate and finalize check disbursements and wire transactions without the mandated review and authorization from a separate independent individual before the execution of such payments. This represents a departure from best practices that advocate for a dual-approval process to ensure the integrity of financial transactions.
Subsequent to the Closing, the internal control structure of the Company ceased to be in operation.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2022. 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, 2022.
Subsequent to the Closing, the internal control structure of the Company ceased to be in operation.
We performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as disclosed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

You will be able to review this document by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of our Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
● duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the Company as a whole;
● duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;
● duty to not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
● duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders;
● duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the Company and their personal interests; and
● duty to exercise independent judgment.
In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care, which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the Company and the general knowledge, skill and experience which that director has.
As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders; provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Item 13. Certain Relationships And Related Party Transactions.
Founder Shares
On April 8, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate consideration of $25,000. On June 25, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 20,000 Founder Shares to each of its independent directors at their original per-share purchase price. On July 15, 2020, the Company effected a share capitalization resulting in the initial shareholders holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Founder Shares. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively rested to reflect the share capitalization. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 825,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised, so that the Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriter’s election to fully exercise its over-allotment option on July 16, 2020, no Founder Shares are currently subject to forfeiture.
On July 23, 2021, Marco Kheirallah and Wolney Betiol entered into a Securities Assignment Agreement, whereby Mr. Kheirallah transferred and assigned 20,000 Founder Shares to Mr. Betiol. On July 23, 2021, Rafael Grisolia entered into a Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement with the Company providing for the grant of 20,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Mr. Grisolia, which RSUs will vest upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and represent 20,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company. Other than as described above, Mr. Betiol and Mr.Grisolia will not be compensated by the Company for their services as directors and they have not entered into an employment agreement with the Company.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,060,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant from the Company in a Private Placement, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,060,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
If we do not complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or during any Extension Period, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of our Public Shares, subject to the requirements of applicable law, and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 15, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement the Company entered into the Investor Rights Agreement, which became effective as of the Closing and amended and restated in its entirety the Company’s existing Registration Rights Agreement.
Related Party Notes
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on July 16, 2020, the Company will pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was $295,000 and $175,000, respectively, of such fees included within accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. In January and February 2023, the Company accrued additional fees in the amount of $20,000, bringing the total fees to $315,000. At the Closing, the entire outstanding amount owed under the Administrative Services Agreement was forgiven pursuant to the terms of the Debt Forgiveness Agreement (as defined below). See “- Debt Forgiveness Agreement.”.
Advances
The Sponsor advanced the Company an aggregate of $10,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. The advances were non-interest bearing and due on demand. The outstanding advances of $10,000 were repaid in full on June 25, 2020.
Promissory Notes
On April 8, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 and (ii) the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $300,000 was repaid in full at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 20, 2020.
On August 11, 2021, the Sponsor committed to provide us an aggregate of $150,000 in loans. On February 21, 2022, the Sponsor committed to provide us with an additional $755,000 in loans. These loans will be non-interest bearing, unsecured and will be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination, without an option of the Sponsor to convert any amount outstanding thereunder upon completion of a business combination into warrants. If we do not consummate a business combination, all amounts loaned to us in connection with these loans will be forgiven except to the extent that we have funds available to it outside of the Trust Account.
On August 11, 2021, the Sponsor committed to provide the Company an aggregate of $150,000 in loans for working capital purposes. On February 21, 2022, the Sponsor committed to provide the Company with an additional $755,000 in loans for working capital purposes, bring the total commitment amount to $905,000. On June 24, 2022, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an aggregate of $700,000 for working capital purposes. On November 30, 2022, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an additional aggregate of $205,000 for working capital purposes. On January 17, 2023, under the terms of an additional promissory note entered into between the Company and the Sponsor on the same date, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $410,000, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an additional $410,000 for working capital purposes, bringing the total commitment amount to $1,315,000. These loans were evidenced by two promissory notes (“Promissory Notes”) which were non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation by the Company of a business combination, without an option of the Sponsor to convert any amount outstanding thereunder upon completion of a business combination into warrants. As of December 31, 2022, $905,000 were outstanding under such loan.
The outstanding amount as of December 31, 2022 and the additional amounts incurred in January 17, 2023, were substantially forgiven, and the balance repaid, on the Closing Date. In March 2023, a total of $121,650 was repaid on the working capital loans and $1,168,548 was forgiven by the Sponsor. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships And Related Party Transactions- Debt Forgiveness Agreement.”
Sponsor Letter Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, AMBI, Emergencia, the Sponsor and the Insiders have entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement pursuant to which the parties thereto have agreed (i) to amend and restate in its entirety the current sponsor letter agreement dated as of July 15, 2020 by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto (ii) that the Sponsor and Insiders will not redeem any outstanding Founder Shares, in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement or any extension of the deadline by which the Company is required to consummate its business combination, (iii) that the Sponsor and Insiders will be present for the relevant meeting and vote all of their Founder Shares in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the transactions contemplated pursuant thereto and the other matters contemplated to be approved in the Business Combination Agreement, including an extension of the deadline by which the Company must complete its business combination (iv) that, prior to the Closing, the Sponsor and Insiders will not transfer any Founder Shares or the Company Private Placement Warrants except as permitted thereby, and (v) to give effect to the Sponsor Recapitalization (as detailed below), such that, immediately prior to the First Effective Time, there shall cease to be outstanding any the Class B Ordinary Shares. In addition, conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger, the Sponsor and Insiders waived certain anti-dilution protection provisions contained in the Existing Governing Documents.
Immediately prior to consummation of the First Merger, the Sponsor and the Insiders transferred all of their right, title and interest in, to and under each of their 6,305,000 outstanding the Class B Ordinary Shares (6,245,000 of which were held by the Sponsor) and each of the 7,060,000 the Company Private Placement Warrants to purchase one the Company Class A Ordinary Share (all such the Company Private Placement Warrants were held by the Sponsor), and in exchange therefore, the Company issued (x) to the Sponsor 1,836,100 the Company Class A Ordinary Shares and 676,707 the Company Private Placement Warrants, each free and clear of liens, and (y) to each Insider a number of the Company Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Founder Shares held by such Insider as of the date of the Sponsor Letter Agreement, each free and clear of liens (the “Sponsor Recapitalization”).
Debt Forgiveness Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Sponsor and the Company entered into a debt forgiveness agreement (the “Debt Forgiveness Agreement”) pursuant to which, effective as of Closing and immediately prior to the First Effective Time, the Sponsor irrevocably, unconditionally and for no payment waived, forgave, settled and extinguished an outstanding amount of approximately $1.5 million due by HPX to the Sponsor in connection with the Promissory Notes and the Administrative Services Agreement. The balance of $0.1 million due in connection with the Promissory Notes and the Administrative Services Agreement was repaid in full at Closing.
Investor Rights Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, AMBI, the Sponsor, Ambipar, Opportunity Agro Fund and certain other shareholders of the Company have entered into an investor rights agreement, pursuant to which the Registration Rights Agreement will be amended and restated in its entirety, as of the Closing. As a result, certain holders of registrable securities will be able to make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or a portion of their registrable securities, subject to certain limitations so long as such demand includes a number of registrable securities with a total offering price in excess of $75,000,000, net of all underwriting discounts and commissions. Any such demand may be in the form of an underwritten offering, it being understood that, subject to certain exceptions, AMBI shall not be required to conduct more than an aggregate total of eight underwritten offerings or an aggregate of four underwritten offerings in any 12-month period. In addition, certain holders of registrable securities will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by AMBI subsequent to the Closing. AMBI has also agreed to file with the SEC a resale shelf registration statement covering the resale of all registrable securities within 30 days of the Closing, to be declared effective no later than the earlier of 60 days of the Closing if the SEC notifies AMBI that it will not “review” the registration statement or 90 days if the SEC notifies AMBI that it will “review” the registration statement.
In addition, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, signatories thereof agreed to certain transfer restrictions on their respective equity interests in AMBI, in the case of certain directors of the Company, for a period of one year following the Closing Date, and, in the case of Ambipar and the Sponsor, for a period of three years following the Closing Date, in each case, subject to the following exceptions of permitted transfers (i) in the case of a transfer to a permitted transferee, if such AMBI shareholder provides written notice to AMBI or (ii) (A) if such AMBI shareholder is an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual, (B) if such AMBI shareholder is an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (C) pursuant to any liquidation, merger, share exchange or similar transaction (other than the Mergers) which results in all of AMBI’s shareholders having the right to exchange
their AMBI Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of AMBI for cash, securities or other property; provided that in connection with any transfer of such securities pursuant to clause (ii) above, (x) such AMBI shareholder shall, and shall cause any such transferee of his, her or its Lock-Up Securities (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), to enter into a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to AMBI, agreeing to be bound by the Lock-up Agreement prior and as a condition to the occurrence of such transfer, and (y) that such transferee shall have no rights under the Investor Rights Agreement, unless they are a permitted transferee according to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, in which case, as a condition to such transfer, the transferee shall be required to become a party to the Investor Rights Agreement.
Finally, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors and the Cygnus Subscription Agreement with Cygnus Fund Icon, as the case may be, we have agreed that we will:
● file within 30 calendar days after the closing of the Business Combination a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the AMBI Class A Ordinary Shares;
● use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter, but in no event later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the registration statement) after closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, as the case may be; and
● maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement, (ii) the date on which the PIPE Investors or Cygnus Fund Icon, as the case may be, cease to hold any ordinary shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements or Cygnus Subscription Agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) on the first date on which the subscription investors can sell all of their shares issues pursuant to the subscription agreements (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or amount of such securities that may be sold.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To Those Charged with Governance of HPX Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of HPX Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

HPX Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
HPX Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 20, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).
Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses in Brazil.

Recent Developments
Business Combination
As previously reported in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 7, 2022, on July 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Ambipar Emergency Response, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“New PubCo”), Ambipar Merger Sub, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“Merger Sub”), Emergência Participações S.A., a corporation (sociedade anônima) organized under the laws of Brazil (“Emergencia”), Ambipar Participações e Empreendimentos S.A., a corporation (sociedade anônima) organized under the laws of Brazil (“Ambipar”), and the Company (the “Proposed Business Combination”). Emergencia is a leading environmental and industrial service provider with a diversified client base in logistics, chemical, oil and gas, mining and industrial sectors in Brazil and globally.
The Company’s board of directors (i) unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement, the Mergers and the Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and (ii) unanimously determined to recommend that the shareholders of the Company vote to approve the SPAC Shareholder Matters (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and such other actions as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
On September 14, 2022, Emergencia signed an agreement related to the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Witt O’Brien’s, a global leader in the crisis and emergency management industry for blue-chip corporate clients and emergency and resilience programs for the public sector, which acquisition closed on October 24, 2022.
On March 3, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the previously announced Business Combination was consummated by and among AMBI, the Company, Ambipar Merger Sub, Emergência Participações S.A., and Ambipar Participações e Empreendimentos S.A. On the Closing Date, (i) HPX merged with and into AMBI, with AMBI as the surviving entity (the “First Merger”) and (ii) immediately after the First Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into AMBI, with AMBI as the surviving entity.
Combination Period Extensions
As previously reported in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2022, on July 14, 2022, in connection with its Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 14, 2022 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved: (1) a special resolution to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (the

“Extension Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must (a) consummate a Business Combination, (b) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination, and (c) redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s Initial Public Offering from July 20, 2022 to November 20, 2022; and (2) the proposal to extend the date on which Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering if the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination from July 20, 2022 to November 20, 2022 (the “Trust Amendment” and, together with the Extension Amendment, the “Initial Extension”).
On November 3, 2022, in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved an additional extension of the Combination Period (as defined below) from November 20, 2022 to March 31, 2023 (the “Additional Extension”).
Shareholder Non-Redemption Agreements
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company, owning, in the aggregate, 600,000 Class A ordinary shares (each, a “Non-Redeeming Shareholder”), have entered into non-redemption agreements (each, a “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with the Company and New PubCo, under which, among other things, such Non-Redeeming Shareholders have agreed, in consideration of (i) an aggregate of 26,400 additional New PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 150,000 New PubCo Warrants (as defined below), in each case to be issued by New PubCo to such Non-Redeeming Shareholders on or promptly following the Closing, to vote in favor of transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement for which the approval of such shareholders is required and agreed not to redeem or exercise any right to redeem any Class A ordinary shares of the Company that such shareholders hold of record or beneficially. Concurrently with the execution of the Non-Redemption Agreements, Trend HPX SPAC FIA IE, represented by its investment manager XP Allocation Asset Management Ltda. (“XP”), owning 1,297,400 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, has entered into a certain non-redemption agreement with the Company and New PubCo (the “XP Non-Redemption Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, XP will be entitled to (i) an aggregate of 57,086 additional New PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 324,350 New PubCo Warrants, in each case to be issued by New PubCo to XP on or promptly following the Closing, in the event XP does not redeem the SPAC Shares of which it is the record and beneficial owner in connection with any Extension sought on or prior to July 15, 2022. The Company and the Sponsor are named third-party beneficiaries under the Shareholder Non-Redemption Agreements. In the event that the Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, and the Company does not complete a business combination before March 31, 2023, the Non-Redemption Agreement will no longer apply.
On December 8, 2022, HPX, New PubCo and Cygnus Fund Icon, one of the Non-Redeeming Shareholders, entered into an amended and restated Non-Redemption Agreement (the “Cygnus Non-Redemption Agreement”) as well as a Subscription Agreement (the “Cygnus Subscription Agreement”) on terms and conditions substantially consistent with those included in the Non-Redemption Agreements and the Subscription Agreements dated July 5, 2022; provided, however, that pursuant to the Cygnus Non-Redemption Agreement and the Cygnus Subscription Agreement, Cygnus Fund Icon has been granted the option (the “Cygnus Option”), exercisable by Cygnus Fund Icon via written notice to be delivered to HPX and New PubCo no later than 10 calendar days prior to the HPX extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, either (i) to comply with the terms and conditions contained in the Cygnus Non-Redemption Agreement (including, among other things, to vote its 300,000 HPX Class A Ordinary Shares in favor of the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement for which the approval of HPX shareholders is required and not to redeem or exercise any right to redeem its 300,000 HPX Class A Ordinary Shares), or (ii) not to be bound by the Cygnus Non-Redemption Agreement and instead to subscribe for 300,000 New PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued by New PubCo pursuant to the Cygnus Subscription Agreement for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,000. The parties agreed to amend and restate such Non-Redemption Agreement as well as to enter into the Cygnus Subscription Agreement at the request of Cygnus Fund Icon in order to provide Cygnus Fund Icon with the option to make its investment in New PubCo either through the non-redemption of its HPX Class A Ordinary Shares or through a subscription of New PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares on terms and conditions substantially consistent with the other PIPE Investors. On February 10, 2023, Cygnus sent a termination and subscription notice to HPX and the Company (the “Cygnus Notice”) whereby it elected option (ii) above.

Downside Protection Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, certain PIPE investors (“PIPE Investors”) entered into a share subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with the Company and New PubCo, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to subscribe New PubCo Class A ordinary shares at the closing of the Business Combination.
In addition, the Sponsor signed a Downside Protection Agreement (“DPA”) with the PIPE Investors and the Non-Redeeming Shareholders, pursuant to which these investors are provided with certain downside protection rights subsequent to the closing date of the Business Combination Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the DPA, including the investment return on a 30-month period, the investors may receive, on a pro-rata basis, an aggregate of up to 1,050,000 New PubCo Class A ordinary shares directly from the Sponsor (see Note 2 and Note 9).
Redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares
On July 14, 2022, in connection with the vote to approve the Combination Period Extension, the holders of 19,472,483 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.018 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $195,081,445, which included $356,615 of Trust Account earnings, leaving $58,381,894 in the Trust Account.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 2,176,544 of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, with a redemption value of $21,905,597.
Transfer of Listing to the NYSE American LLC
On October 24, 2022, the Company issued a press release and filed a current report on Form 8-K announcing the voluntary transfer of its securities from NYSE to NYSE American LLC. On October 27, 2022, the transfer of the securities became effective.
Additional Loan Under the Terms of the Working Capital Note
On November 30, 2022, under the terms of the Working Capital Note as described in Note 5, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an additional aggregate of $205,000 for working capital purposes, bringing the total aggregate principal amount loaned under the terms of the Working Capital Note to $905,000.
On January 17, 2023, under the terms of an additional promissory note entered into between the Company and the Sponsor on the same date, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $410,000, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an additional $410,000 for working capital purposes, bringing the total commitment amount to $1,315,000. These loans are evidenced by two promissory notes which are non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation by the Company of a business combination, without an option of the Sponsor to convert any amount outstanding thereunder upon completion of a business combination into warrants.
In March 2023, a total of $121,650 was repaid on the working capital loans and a total of $1,168,548 was forgiven by the Sponsor.
Company’s Initial Public Offering and Search for a Target
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering became effective on July 15, 2020. On July 20, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,300,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,300,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,000,000 which is described in Note 3.

HPX Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 7,060,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to HPX Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,060,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $14,528,328, consisting of $5,060,000 of underwriting fees, $8,855,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $613,328 of other offering costs, $497,297 of which were allocated to the warrants and charged to expense during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 20, 2020, an amount of $253,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Trust Account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The New York Stock Exchange rules require that a Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination, including the Proposed Business Combination.
The Company will provide the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve a Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer, or upon a request to extend the Combination Period, as described below. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share) as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, if any. The per-share amount to be distributed to the Public Shareholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets, after payment of the deferred underwriting commission, of at least $5,000,001 upon such completion of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor and any other holders of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination and to waive their redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination. Additionally, subject to the immediately succeeding

paragraph, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination (and not seek to sell its shares to the Company in any tender offer the Company undertakes in connection with its initial Business Combination) and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company, owning, in the aggregate, 600,000 Class A ordinary shares (each, a “Non-Redeeming Shareholder”), have entered into non-redemption agreements (each, a “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with the Company and New PubCo. The Company and the Sponsor are named third-party beneficiaries under the Shareholder Non-Redemption Agreements. In the event that the Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, and the Company does not complete a business combination before March 31, 2023, the Non-Redemption Agreement will no longer apply (as discussed in Shareholder Non-Redemption Agreements).
The Company initially had until July 20, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. However, pursuant to the Combination Period Extensions mentioned above, the Company now will have until March 31, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, within the Combination Period, as may be extended from time to time by the Company as a result of a shareholder vote to amend its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Period”), the Company 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law 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 the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) 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 the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Risks and Uncertainties
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result, various nations, including the United States, have imposed economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and the related sanctions on the world economy, and the specific impacts on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and its ability to identify and complete an initial business combination are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $199,388 in its operating bank accounts, $21,905,597 in cash held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares (see Note 1 for redemptions made in July and November 2022) in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $1,456,792 (which includes a liability for the $905,000 borrowing as described below).
As discussed in Note 5, on June 24, 2022, the Company entered into promissory notes with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $905,000 (the “Working Capital Note”). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were $905,000 and $0 outstanding under the Working Capital Note. On January 17, 2023, the Company entered into an additional promissory note with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $410,000. On January 17, 2023, $410,000 was drawn down.
On March 3, 2023, HPX entered into a Debt Forgiveness Agreement with the Sponsors, which includes forgiveness of $1,168,548 out of the $1,315,000 amount of the Working Capital Note that was outstanding on that date (See Note 5 and Note 10). The Sponsor also forgave $315,000 of administrative fees ($295,000 of which was accrued as of December 31, 2022, and an additional $10,000 was accrued for each of January and February 2023).
On March 3, 2023, the previously announced Business Combination was consummated and the funds held in Trust were used to settle Business Combination and other expenses of the Company.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These Financial Statements are the historical Financial Statements of the entity formerly known as HPX Corp., prior to the Business Combination, which was consummated on March 3, 2023. These financial statements do not reflect the impact of the Business Combination, or any other agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination, all of which are more fully described in Notes 1 and 10.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may 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 independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair values of the Private Placement Warrants as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the determination of PIPE derivative liability as of the initial measurement and December 31, 2022. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Since March 31, 2022, legal fees payable upon the successful consummation of a Business Combination were reclassified from a current to a non-current liability as Deferred Legal Fees. Such reclassifications have no effect on the Company’s net (loss) income as previously reported. As of December 31, 2022, there was $5,243,712 outstanding under Deferred Legal Fees.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Cash or Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
On June 24, 2022, the Company instructed the trustee managing the Trust Account to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination and liquidation of the Company to mitigate any risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company. On September 27, 2022, money market funds which invest in U.S. Treasury Securities held in Trust Account were sold and proceeds from the sale of these marketable securities including dividends earned were transferred to interest-earning checking account managed by the trustee. Until September 27, 2022, and as of December 31, 2022, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which invest in U.S. Treasury securities and an interest-earning checking account, respectively.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirement of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred in the statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares issued were initially charged to temporary equity and accreted to ordinary shares subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants (together, with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a binomial lattice simulation. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the issuance date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The PIPE derivative liability as a result of the Downside Protection Agreement signed by the Sponsor with PIPE Investors and the Non-Redeeming Shareholders meets the criteria for derivative liability classification. As such, the PIPE derivative liability is recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the PIPE derivative liability are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the statements of operations. The fair value of the PIPE derivative liability is discussed in Note 9.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to initial redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Subsequent to the initial measurement upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognizes changes in the redemption value that result from earnings on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account that have not been withdrawn to pay taxes. As of December 31, 2022, the holders of 23,123,456 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares and the Company has not incurred any taxes or permitted expenses that could be withdrawn from the Trust Account.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements 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. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
0Table of Contents
HPX Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from (loss) income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted (loss) income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, (ii) the private placement, (iii) Non-Redemption Agreement, and (iv) Downside Protection Shares since the issuance of ordinary shares under these arrangements are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Warrants are exercisable to purchase 19,710,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is the same as basic net (loss) income per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share (in dollars, except share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the Warrants (see Note 9).

Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering on July 20, 2020, the Company sold 25,300,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase an additional 3,300,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 8).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,060,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant from the Company in a private placement, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,060,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). Proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On April 8, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate consideration of $25,000. On June 25, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 20,000 Founder Shares to each of its independent director nominees at their original per-share purchase price. On July 15, 2020, the Company effected a share capitalization resulting in the initial shareholders holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Founder Shares. However, on December 3, 2020, Fabio Mourão resigned as a director of our board of directors and forfeited 20,000 Founder Shares to the Company for no consideration and, as a result, since then the initial shareholders hold an aggregate of 6,305,000 Founder Shares.All share and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect the share capitalization. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 825,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised, so that the Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriter’s election to fully exercise its over-allotment option on July 16, 2020, no Founder Shares are currently subject to forfeiture.
On July 23, 2021, a former director and a newly appointed director entered into a Securities Assignment Agreement (the “Securities Assignment Agreement”). The terms of the Securities Assignment Agreement specified that the former director transfer the 20,000 Founder Shares granted to him on June 25, 2020 to the newly appointed director, which the Company has treated as the cancellation of an existing award and the issuance of a new award.
0Table of Contents
HPX Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The transfer of the Founders Shares to the Company’s directors and director nominees is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founder Shares were effectively transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination). Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified).
The Sponsor (including the directors) has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
In the event that the Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, and the Company does not complete a business combination before March 31, 2023, the Non-Redemption Agreement will no longer apply (as discussed in Shareholder Non-Redemption Agreements of Note 1).
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on July 16, 2020, the Company will pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $120,000 in fees for these services. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was $295,000 and $175,000, respectively, of such fees included within accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets (See Note 10).
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
On June 24, 2022, the Company entered into promissory notes with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $905,000 (the “Working Capital Note”). The Working Capital Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination or the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, all amounts loaned to the Company in connection with these loans will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. The Working Capital Note is not convertible. On November 30, 2022, under the terms of the Working Capital Note, the Sponsor loaned to the Company an additional aggregate of $205,000 for working capital purposes. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were $905,000 and $0 outstanding under the Working Capital Note. On January 17, 2023, the Company entered into an additional promissory note with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $410,000. On January 17, 2023, $410,000 was drawn down. As more fully described in Note 10, on March 3, 2023, HPX entered into a Debt Forgiveness Agreement with the Sponsors, which

includes forgiveness of $1,168,548 out of the $1,315,000 amount of the Working Capital Note that was outstanding on that date. The Sponsor also forgave $315,00 of administrative fees.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 15, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,855,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Of such deferred fee amount, up to approximately $0.175 per Unit, or up to $4,427,500, may be paid to third parties who did not participate in the Initial Public Offering (but who are members of FINRA or regulated broker-dealers) that assist the Company in consummating a Business Combination. The election to make such payments to third parties will be solely at the discretion of the Company’s management team, and such third parties will be selected by the Company’s management team in its sole and absolute discretion.
On August 19, 2022, the Company and underwriter executed a waiver letter confirming the underwriter’s resignation and waiver of its entitlement to the payment of deferred fee under the terms of the underwriting agreement. As a result, the Company recognized $296,643 of other income and $8,558,357 was recorded to additional paid-in capital in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriter fee in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the deferred underwriting fee payable is $0 and $8,855,000, respectively.
Consulting Arrangements
The Company has arrangements with a consultant to provide services to the Company relating to market and industry analyses, assistance with due diligence, and financial modeling and valuation of potential targets. The Company agreed to pay the service provider a fee of 6,600 BRL per month (approximately $1,200 per month). For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $17,782 and $16,332 of consulting fees, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was $1,589 and $1,314 of such fees included within accrued expenses in the balance sheets, respectively.
Restricted Stock Unit Award
In July 2021, pursuant to a Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, dated July 23, 2021, between the Company and a director, the Company agreed to grant 20,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to a director. The RSUs will vest upon the consummation of such Business Combination and represent 20,000 non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares of the Company that will settle on a date as soon
0Table of Contents
HPX Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
as practicable following vesting but in no event more than 30 days after vesting. Issuance of the shares underlying the RSUs are also subject to the future approval of an equity incentive plan.
The RSUs to be granted by the Company are in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The RSUs to be granted are subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the RSUs is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have a shareholder approved equity plan and also determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of RSUs times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified).
Contingent Fee Arrangement
On June 27, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to provide advisory services in connection with a potential Business Combination. The agreement calls for the Company to pay a fee of $2,000,000 upon the closing of a business combination. If the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, no fee is payable under this agreement. The Company recognized this fee upon consummation of the business combination.
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001. The Company’s board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preference shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the ordinary shares and could have anti-takeover effects. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 2,176,544 and 25,300,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively, all of which were subject to possible redemption and reported as temporary equity. The shares balance at December 31, 2022 excludes a total of 23,123,456 Class A ordinary shares redeemed on July 14, 2022 and November 3, 2022
Class B Ordinary Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 6,305,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders except as otherwise required by law.
The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on the first business day following the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (subject to waiver by holders of a majority of the Class B ordinary shares) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus the number of Class A ordinary shares
0Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (net of redemptions), excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination: provided that such conversion of Class B ordinary shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis , unless agreed to by the holders of these shares.
NOTE 8. WARRANTS
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 12,650,000 Public Warrants outstanding, with each Public Warrant enabling the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use it commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
● in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;
● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder and
● if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted).
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
● in whole and not in part;
0Table of Contents
HPX Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
● at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares, based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares;
● if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted); and
● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the completion of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 7,060,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding with each Private Placement Warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
Conversion of warrants as a result of the consummation of the Business Combination.
At the time HPX was merged with and into New PubCo, each Public Warrant and Private Placement Warrant outstanding after the Recapitalization (as defined below) was converted into one warrant to purchase one New PubCo Class A ordinary share (a “New PubCo Warrant”) (see Note 1) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same terms and conditions existing prior to such conversion.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the statements of operations.
The Private Placement Warrants were initially valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is the expected volatility of the ordinary shares. The expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own Public Warrant pricing. Beginning on March 31, 2022 and as of December 31, 2022, the Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the use of a quoted price in an active market for a similar liability.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The measurement of the Public Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units on September 8, 2020, is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant on the New York Stock Exchange up to October 27, 2022 and the New York Stock Exchange American LLC thereafter was used as the fair value of the Warrants as of each relevant date.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, $1,282,802 of private placement warrants were transferred from level 3 to level 2 classification.There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 for the year ended 2021.
The PIPE derivative liability was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40, measured at fair value at initial measurement date and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the statements of operations.
The Downside Protection Shares were initially and as of December 31, 2022, valued using a Monte Carlo model which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the PIPE derivative liability is the expected volatility of the Company’s ordinary shares. The expected volatility of the Company’s ordinary shares was determined based on the Cboe Volatility Index (“VIX”).
