BIOPLUS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
BioPlus Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), commonly known as “BIOS” and “Bios Acquisition Corporation,” is blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempt company on February 11, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of completing a Business Combination. The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
 
The Company created Guardian Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation created on April 27, 2023 and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) for the purpose of the Business Combination described below.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 11, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates
non-operating
income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering became effective on December 2, 2021. On December 7, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 560,000 units (the “Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to BioPlus Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), generating gross proceeds of $5,600,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $14,483,021, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,800,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $683,021 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 7, 2021, an amount of $234,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit)
 
from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Placement Units as well as the Sponsor Loan (as defined in Note 5) was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), and is be 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 or (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 Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). 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.
On June 2, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders of approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board) (the “Extension”) and (ii) provide for the right of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time prior to the closing of the Initial Business Combination at the option of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”). The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2023.
In connection with the vote to approve the Extension, holders of 9,942,523 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.53 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $104,708,794.59, with a net amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account following such redemptions of approximately $137,513,654.92.
In connection with the Extension, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to BioPlus Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 (the “Extension Funds”) to deposit into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), held by the Company’s public shareholders that were not redeemed in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company).
The Company will deposit $250,000 into the Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on June 7, 2023 and ending on the 7th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial business combination until December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board), and such amount will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Public Shares upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the initial 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 the Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. 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 Public Shares, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of the Business Combination (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per Public Share), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to certain limitations as described in the prospectus. The
per-share
amount to be distributed to the Public Shareholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (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.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, 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 the 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 a
n
aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

BIOPLUS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
 
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive Its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Placement Shares, and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and 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 (as defined below) 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 upon approval of any such amendment at a
per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.
The Company will have until 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination 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 100% of the Public Shares, at a
per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its board of directors (the “Board”), 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 Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Placement Shares it will receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination 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. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their 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, 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).
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 the lesser of (1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per Public Share, due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters 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.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $2,454 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $1,782,377. 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, provide Working Capital Loans (as defined below) to the Company (see Note 5).
Also, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Subtopic
205-40,
“Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by December 7, 2023 then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition as well as the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after
D
e
ce
mber
 7, 2023. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the period ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, which was formed on April 27, 2023. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 auditor 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 ad
op
t the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
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 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2023 substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were money market mutual funds which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury Securities. At December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual funds, which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company presents its investments in treasury securities on the balance sheets at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. The Company presents its investments in money market mutual funds on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

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 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 features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Classification
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company’s has analyzed the warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (“Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants and determined they are considered to be freestanding instruments and do not exhibit any of the characteristics in ASC 480 and therefore are not classified as liabilities under ASC 480. The warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815 and therefore are classified in equity.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are 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 amounted to $14,483,021, which were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change for the next twelve months.

The Company
is
considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction 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 Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. 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. The Company has two classes of ordinary 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. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement (iii) the sponsor promissory loan, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the Sponsor Loan is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 11,780,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. The Sponsor Loan is convertible into 500,000 units, consisting of 500,000 Class A ordinary shares and 250,000 warrants. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any 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 per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per 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 Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank became insolvent. State regulators closed the bank and the FDIC was appointed as its receiver. The Company held deposits with this bank. As a result of actions by the FDIC, the Company’s insured deposits have been restored.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Recent Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU
2016-13
also requires additional disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU
2016-13
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU
2016-13
on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU
2016-13
did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which includes a full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and
one-half
of one redeemable 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 7).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 560,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,600,000 in a private placement. The Sponsor purchased 380,000 Placement Units and Cantor purchased 180,000 Placement Units. Each Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary share (“Placement Share”) and
one-half
of one redeemable warrant (“Placement Warrant”). Each whole Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). A portion of the proceeds from the Placement Units was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Placement Units, Placement Shares, and Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On March 18, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 6,325,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate price of $25,000. On November 6, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares. In December 2021, the Company effected a 0.111 for 1 share dividend for each Class B ordinary share outstanding, resulting in the initial shareholders holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share
sub-divisions,
share dividends, rights issuances, 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, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Sponsor Loan
The Sponsor loaned the Company $5,000,000 (the “Sponsor Loan”) as of the closing date of the Initial Public Offering. The Sponsor Loan will bear no interest. The proceeds of the Sponsor Loan were deposited into the Trust Account to be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). The Sponsor Loan shall be repaid or converted into units (“Sponsor Loan Units”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit, at the discretion of the Company, only upon consummation of the Business Combination. The Sponsor Loan Units would be identical to the Placement Units sold in the Initial Public Offering. The Sponsor Loan is being extended in order to ensure that the amount in the Trust Account is $10.20 per Public Share. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, the Company will not repay the Sponsor Loan and its proceeds will be distributed to the Public Shareholders. The Sponsor has waived any claims against the Trust Account in connection with the Sponsor Loan. The conversion feature was analyzed under ASC
470-20,
“Debt with Conversion or Other Options”, and the note did not include any premium or discounts. The conversion option did not include elements that would require bifurcation under ASC
815-40,
“Derivatives and Hedging”.
Administrative Support Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on December 2, 2021 through the earlier of the Company’s completion of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $60,000 and $120,000, respectively, in fees for these services, of which $115,484 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed

Promissory Note — Related Party
On March 18, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note is
non-interest
bearing and payable on the earlier of September 30, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 7, 2021, there was $170,000 still outstanding under the Promissory Note, which was subsequently paid on December 10, 2021.
In connection with the Extension, the Company issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 (the “Extension Funds”) to deposit into the Company’s Trust Account for the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), held by the Company’s public shareholders that were not redeemed in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company).

Working Capital Loan
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”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units (“Working Capital Units”) of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Working Capital Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $250,000 and $0 outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans, respectively.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks and Uncertainties
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Legal Fees
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company, contingent upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination will be required to pay legal fees of the approximate amount of $1,025,000. This balance is not included or reflected in the unaudited condensed
 
consolidated
financial statements.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on December 2, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Placement Units (including securities contained therein) and any Working Capital Units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and any Class A ordinary shares and warrants (and underlying Class A ordinary shares) that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Units issued as part of the Working Capital Loans and Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights. The holders of the majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form 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. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,000,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.40 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 20,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,000,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) $0.60 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,800,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters 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.
Business Combination Agreement
On May 2, 2023, the Company, Guardian Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Avertix Medical, Inc. (f/k/a Angel Medical Systems, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Avertix”), and, solely with respect to Section3.03(b) and Section 7.21 of the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below), the Sponsor, entered into a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Avertix (the “Merger,” and together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Avertix Transactions”), with Avertix surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) each share of Avertix common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Avertix Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive (A) a number of shares of New Avertix Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and (B) the holder of such Avertix Common Stock’s contingent right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Avertix Earnout Shares (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, in each case, without interest, and (ii) each option to purchase shares of Avertix Common Stock (“Avertix Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether then vested or unvested, will be assumed by New Avertix and converted into (A) an option to purchase a number of shares of New Avertix Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) (“Exchanged Option”) equal to (x) the number of shares of Avertix Common Stock subject to such Avertix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price per share of such Avertix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio and (B) the holder of such Avertix Option’s contingent right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Avertix Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.
Following the Closing, as additional consideration for the Avertix Transactions, eligible equity holders of Avertix will be entitled to receive their respective pro rata share of 2,970,000 shares of New Avertix Common Stock (the “Avertix Earnout Shares”) in two equal tranches, each contingent upon New Avertix’s achievement of the applicable stock price milestones (the “Triggering Events”) during the time period between the date of Closing and the seven (7)-year anniversary of the Closing (the “Earnout Period”); provided that, with respect to any holder of a unvested Exchanged Option, an award of restricted stock units for a number of Avertix Earnout Shares otherwise issuable to such holder and subject to the same vesting terms as the unvested Exchanged Option will be issued to such holder in lieu of any Avertix Earnout Shares.
At the Effective Time, a portion of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares, consisting of 1,150,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company as of the date hereof (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”), will become unvested and subject to vesting and forfeiture, and will thereafter become vested only upon the occurrence of the applicable Triggering Event in the same proportion as the issuance of Avertix Earnout Shares to eligible equity holders of Avertix upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event. The Sponsor Earnout Shares are subject to reduction in connection with certain additional financing permitted under the Business Combination Agreement, and will be forfeited if the applicable Triggering Events do not occur during the Earnout Period.
The obligations of Avertix and the Company to consummate the Avertix Transactions are subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where permissible) at or prior to the Closing of various conditions, including, among other things: (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Avertix, respectively; (ii) the performance by the Company and Avertix, respectively, of its covenants and agreements; (iii) the absence of any material adverse effect that is continuing with respect to Avertix during the period between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Effective Time or the earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement, (iv) the approval of Avertix’s stockholders and the Company’s shareholders; (v) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form
S-4
to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Avertix Transactions (the “Avertix Registration Statement”) and the submission by the Company of the supplemental listing application to Nasdaq; (vi) the receipt of requisite government approvals; (vii) the Company having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the exercise of redemption rights provided to Public Shareholders in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company; and (viii) as a condition to Avertix’s obligations to consummate the Avertix Transactions, the total cash and cash equivalents of the Company at the Closing, after giving effect to redemptions by Public Shareholders, additional financing permitted under the Business Combination Agreement (including repayment of convertible notes issued to the Sponsor, if applicable) and payment of transaction expenses, being no less than $40,000,000.
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including: (i) by mutual written consent of the Company and Avertix; (ii) subject to certain cure periods, by either the Company or Avertix, as applicable, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by the Company or Avertix, as applicable, that would result in the failure of related closing conditions; (iii) by either the Company or Avertix if the Effective Time does not occur prior to December 31, 2023, subject to certain exceptions; (iv) by either the Company or Avertix if the transaction is prohibited by a final,
non-appealable
law or a government order; (v) by either the Company or Avertix if requisite approval is not obtained from the Company’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and (vi) by the Company if requisite approval is not obtained from Avertix’s stockholders within 2 business days after the Avertix Registration Statement becomes effective.
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Avertix Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates.

The Sponsor, holders of Placement Units, and Avertix equity holders will be subject to

NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination 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 offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an
as-converted
basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon completion of this offering (excluding the Private Placement Units and underlying securities) plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).
Warrants
— As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there are 11,500,000 Public Warrants issued and outstanding. 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. 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 warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. 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 best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the completion of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the warrants:
 
   
in whole and not in part;
 
   
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
 
   
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable to each warrant holder; and
 
   
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share
sub-divisions,
share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a
30-trading
day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. 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 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
additio
nal 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 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 its Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company completes its Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there are 280,000
Private
Placement Warrants issued and outstanding. 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.
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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 Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as
held-to-maturity
in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.”
Held-to-maturity
securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.
Held-to-maturity
treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
At June 30, 2023 assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $676 in cash and $138,432,529 in in money market
 
mutual
funds which are primarily invested in U.S. Treasury securities. During the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company withdrew an amount of $104,708,795 from the Trust Account in connection with redemption to be paid to Shareholders, in which $3,295,060 was interest income. At December 31, 2022, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $1,269 in cash and $118,782,140 in U.S. Treasury securities
 and $118,992,414 in money market funds.
 During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not withdraw any interest income
f
rom the Trust Account.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 11, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Placement Units, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 11, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering, which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

Business Combination Agreement

On May 2, 2023, the Company, Merger Sub, Avertix, and, solely with respect to Section 3.03(b) and Section 7.21 of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Avertix, with Avertix surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, prior to (but no later than the day preceding) the Closing and following the exercise of redemption rights by Public Shareholders, the Company will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands. Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, the Company will change its name to “Avertix Medical, Inc.”

Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one (1) share of New Avertix Common Stock, (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one (1) share of New Avertix Common Stock, (iii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of the Company exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one New Avertix warrant exercisable to purchase one share of New Avertix Common Stock and (iv) each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-half of one warrant of the Company will convert automatically into a unit consisting of one share of New Avertix Common Stock and one-half of one New Avertix warrant.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) each share of Avertix Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and converted into the right to receive (A) a number of shares of New Avertix Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio and (B) the holder of such Avertix Common Stock’s contingent right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Avertix Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, in each case, without interest, and (ii) each Avertix Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether then vested or unvested, will be assumed by New Avertix and converted into (A) an option to purchase a number of shares of New Avertix Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (x) the number of shares of Avertix Common Stock subject to such Avertix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price per share of such Avertix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio and (B) the holder of such Avertix Option’s contingent right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Avertix Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

Following the Closing, as additional consideration for the Avertix Transactions, eligible equity holders of Avertix will be entitled to receive their respective pro rata share of 2,970,000 Avertix Earnout Shares in two equal tranches, each contingent upon New Avertix’s achievement of the applicable stock price milestones during the Earnout Period; provided that, with respect to any holder of a unvested Exchanged Option, an award of restricted stock units for a number of Avertix Earnout Shares otherwise issuable to such holder and subject to the same vesting terms as the unvested Exchanged Option will be issued to such holder in lieu of any Avertix Earnout Shares.

At the Effective Time, a portion of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares, consisting of 1,150,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company as of the date hereof, will become unvested and subject to vesting and forfeiture, and will thereafter become vested only upon the occurrence of the applicable Triggering Event in the same proportion as the issuance of Avertix Earnout Shares to eligible equity holders of Avertix upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event. The Sponsor Earnout Shares are subject to reduction in connection with certain additional financing permitted under the Business Combination Agreement, and will be forfeited if the applicable Triggering Events do not occur during the Earnout Period.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Avertix Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is included hereto as Exhibit 2.1 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

A&R Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor, the executive officers and directors of the Company, and certain equity holders of Avertix will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties thereto will be granted customary registration rights with respect to shares of New Avertix Common Stock.

The foregoing description of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of A&R Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Lock-Up Arrangements

The Sponsor, holders of Placement Units, and Avertix equity holders will be subject the Lock-Up contained in the proposed bylaws of New Avertix, pursuant to which, without the prior written consent of New Avertix’s board of directors, during the period commencing on the date of the Closing and ending on the date that is the one-year anniversary of the Closing, such parties will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, such shares or other equity securities or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of New Avertix Common Stock; provided, however, (a) if at any time 151 days after the Closing, the closing share price of New Avertix Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period, then one-third (1/3) of the Lock-Up Securities shall automatically be released from the Lock-Up, and (b) if at any time 151 days after the Closing, the closing share price of the New Avertix Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period, then an additional one-third (1/3) of the Lock-Up Securities shall be released from the Lock-Up. For clarity, in the event that the Initial Price Target and/or the Second Price Target are not met, then the Lock-up Period shall terminate for all Lock-up Securities on the one-year anniversary of the Closing. The lock-up restrictions contain customary exceptions, including for estate planning transfers, affiliates transfers, certain open market transfers and transfers upon death or by will.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement Amendment by and between the Company, its officers and directors, and the Sponsor, to be entered into at the Closing and A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the lock-up restrictions for the Sponsor At-Risk Capital Lockup Shares, the Placement Shares and Placement Warrants (each as defined in the Letter Agreement Amendment) will lapse upon the six-month anniversary of the Closing, unless the Initial Price Target or Second Price Target are achieved before such date.

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up, Letter Agreement Amendment and A&R Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the New Avertix’s bylaws, the form of the Letter Agreement Amendment and the form of A&R Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are included as Exhibit B to the Business Combination Agreement included as Exhibit 2.1, Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Stockholder Support Agreement

On May 2, 2023, the Company, Avertix, and Key Avertix Holders entered into the Stockholder Support Agreements, pursuant to which the Key Avertix Holders agreed to, among other things, (i) waive any appraisal rights in connection with the Merger and (ii) consent to and vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Avertix Transactions.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sponsor Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.4 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Extension

On June 2, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders of approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board) (the “Extension”) and (ii) provide for the right of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time prior to the closing of the Initial Business Combination at the option of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”). The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2023.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension, holders of 9,942,523 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.53 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $104,708,794.59, with a net amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account following such redemptions of approximately $137,513,654.92.

In connection with the Extension, the Company issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 (the “Extension Funds”) to deposit into the Company’s Trust Account for the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), held by the Company’s public shareholders that were not redeemed in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company).

The Company will deposit $250,000 into the Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on June 7, 2023 and ending on the 7th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial business combination until December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board), and such amount will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Public Shares upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the initial business combination.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through June 30, 2023 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $1,240,548, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,519,539, offset by formation and operating costs of $1,278,991.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $3,561,912, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $5,116,177, offset by formation and operating costs of $1,554,265.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had net income of $24,921, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $280,345, offset by formation and operating costs of $255,424.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had net loss of $236,901, which consisted of formation and operating costs of $562,613, offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $325,712.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 7, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 560,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.000 per Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and Cantor, generating gross proceeds of $5,600,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Placement Units, a total of $234,600,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $14,483,021 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees and $683,021 of other offering costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,194,526. Net income of $3,561,912 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,116,177. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $359,739 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $273,349. Net loss of $236,901 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $325,712. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $289,264 of cash for operating activities.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2023, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $138,433,205 (including approximately $4,996,940 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days less and or money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. We withdrew an amount of $ 104,708,795 from the Trust Account in connection with redemption. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete the Avertix Transactions or if we do not complete the Avertix Transactions, a Business Combination with a different target. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination (as is the case in the Avertix Transactions), 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.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $2,454. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete the Avertix Transactions or if we do not complete the Avertix Transactions, a Business Combination with a different target.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. 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 Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.

We believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for completing a Business Combination (such as the Avertix Transactions). If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination (such as the Avertix Transactions) are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to complete a Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $2,454 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $1,782,377. 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, provide the Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Also, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in FASB ASU Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by December 7, 2023, the extended liquidation date, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition as well as the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 7, 2023, the extended liquidation date. The Company intends to complete the Avertix Transactions or an alternative Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. In addition, the Company intends to hold an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of the Company at which shareholders will vote on a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to give the Board the right to extend the mandatory liquidation date from June 7, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) on a monthly basis up to six times until December 7, 2023, or for a total of up to six months after the Original Termination Date (or such earlier date as determined by the Board) (the “Extension”). If the Extension is approved, the Board intends to extend the Original Termination Date.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees on December 2, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination (such as the Avertix Transactions) and our liquidation.

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,000,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.40 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 20,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,000,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) $0.60 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,800,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination (such as the Avertix Transactions), subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company did not identify any critical accounting estimates.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 (the “Certifying Officer”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Quarterly Report. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) Registration Statement on Form S-1 originally filed with the SEC on July 20, 2021, as amended (“IPO Registration Statement”), (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on May 12, 2022, (iii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, (iv) Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 12, 2023 and (v) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. For risks relating to Avertix and the Avertix Transactions see the Company’s Registration Statement on S-4 initially filed with the SEC on May 15, 2023.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

On June 2, 2023, we held the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and approved, among other things, the Extension, which extended the date by which we must consummate a business combination from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board). In connection with the Extension, shareholders holding 9,942,523 public shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account. We paid cash in the aggregate amount of $104,708,794.59, or approximately $10.53 per share to redeeming shareholders.

Description of Organization and Business Operations
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
BioPlus Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), commonly known as “BIOS” and “Bios Acquisition Corporation,” is blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempt company on February 11, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of completing a Business Combination. The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
 
The Company created Guardian Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation created on April 27, 2023 and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) for the purpose of the Business Combination described below.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 11, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates
non-operating
income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering became effective on December 2, 2021. On December 7, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 560,000 units (the “Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to BioPlus Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), generating gross proceeds of $5,600,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $14,483,021, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,800,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $683,021 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 7, 2021, an amount of $234,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit)
 
from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Placement Units as well as the Sponsor Loan (as defined in Note 5) was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), and is be 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 or (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 Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). 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.
On June 2, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders of approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board) (the “Extension”) and (ii) provide for the right of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time prior to the closing of the Initial Business Combination at the option of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”). The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2023.
In connection with the vote to approve the Extension, holders of 9,942,523 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.53 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $104,708,794.59, with a net amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account following such redemptions of approximately $137,513,654.92.
In connection with the Extension, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to BioPlus Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 (the “Extension Funds”) to deposit into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), held by the Company’s public shareholders that were not redeemed in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company).
The Company will deposit $250,000 into the Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on June 7, 2023 and ending on the 7th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that is needed by the Company to complete an initial business combination until December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board), and such amount will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of Public Shares upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the initial 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 the Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. 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 Public Shares, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of the Business Combination (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per Public Share), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to certain limitations as described in the prospectus. The
per-share
amount to be distributed to the Public Shareholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (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.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, 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 the 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 a
n
aggregate of 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, Placement Shares, and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and 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 (as defined below) 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 upon approval of any such amendment at a
per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.
The Company will have until 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination 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 100% of the Public Shares, at a
per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its board of directors (the “Board”), 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 Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Placement Shares it will receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination 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. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their 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, 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).
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 the lesser of (1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per Public Share, due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters 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.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $2,454 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $1,782,377. 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, provide Working Capital Loans (as defined below) to the Company (see Note 5).
Also, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Subtopic
205-40,
“Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by December 7, 2023 then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition as well as the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after
D

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to
Form 10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X
of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the period ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, which was formed on April 27, 2023. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 auditor 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 ad
op
t the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
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 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2023 substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were money market mutual funds which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury Securities. At December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual funds, which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company presents its investments in treasury securities on the balance sheets at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. The Company presents its investments in money market mutual funds on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
 
 
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 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 features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Classification
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company’s has analyzed the warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (“Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants and determined they are considered to be freestanding instruments and do not exhibit any of the characteristics in ASC 480 and therefore are not classified as liabilities under ASC 480. The warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815 and therefore are classified in equity.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are 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 amounted to $14,483,021, which were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change for the next twelve months.
 
The Company
is
considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction 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 Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. 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. The Company has two classes of ordinary 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. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement (iii) the sponsor promissory loan, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the Sponsor Loan is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 11,780,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. The Sponsor Loan is convertible into 500,000 units, consisting of 500,000 Class A ordinary shares and 250,000 warrants. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any 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 per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per 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 Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank became insolvent. State regulators closed the bank and the FDIC was appointed as its receiver. The Company held deposits with this bank. As a result of actions by the FDIC, the Company’s insured deposits have been restored.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Recent Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU
2016-13
also requires additional disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU
2016-13
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU
2016-13
on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU
2016-13
did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 560,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,600,000 in a private placement. The Sponsor purchased 380,000 Placement Units and Cantor purchased 180,000 Placement Units. Each Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary share (“Placement Share”) and
one-half
of one redeemable warrant (“Placement Warrant”). Each whole Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). A portion of the proceeds from the Placement Units was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Placement Units, Placement Shares, and Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On March 18, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 6,325,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate price of $25,000. On November 6, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares. In December 2021, the Company effected a 0.111 for 1 share dividend for each Class B ordinary share outstanding, resulting in the initial shareholders holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 Founder Shares.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share
sub-divisions,
share dividends, rights issuances, 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, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Sponsor Loan
The Sponsor loaned the Company $5,000,000 (the “Sponsor Loan”) as of the closing date of the Initial Public Offering. The Sponsor Loan will bear no interest. The proceeds of the Sponsor Loan were deposited into the Trust Account to be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). The Sponsor Loan shall be repaid or converted into units (“Sponsor Loan Units”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit, at the discretion of the Company, only upon consummation of the Business Combination. The Sponsor Loan Units would be identical to the Placement Units sold in the Initial Public Offering. The Sponsor Loan is being extended in order to ensure that the amount in the Trust Account is $10.20 per Public Share. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, the Company will not repay the Sponsor Loan and its proceeds will be distributed to the Public Shareholders. The Sponsor has waived any claims against the Trust Account in connection with the Sponsor Loan. The conversion feature was analyzed under ASC
470-20,
“Debt with Conversion or Other Options”, and the note did not include any premium or discounts. The conversion option did not include elements that would require bifurcation under ASC
815-40,
“Derivatives and Hedging”.
Administrative Support Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on December 2, 2021 through the earlier of the Company’s completion of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $60,000 and $120,000, respectively, in fees for these services, of which $115,484 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed
 
consolidated
balance sheet
s
. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $60,000 and $120,000, respectively, in fees for these services, of which $20,000 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed
 
consolidated
balance sheets.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On March 18, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note is
non-interest
bearing and payable on the earlier of September 30, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 7, 2021, there was $170,000 still outstanding under the Promissory Note, which was subsequently paid on December 10, 2021.
In connection with the Extension, the Company issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 (the “Extension Funds”) to deposit into the Company’s Trust Account for the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), held by the Company’s public shareholders that were not redeemed in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors of the Company).
 
Advances from Related Parties
During the period ended June 30, 2023, an affiliate of the Company paid operating expenses on behalf of the Company totaling $956,678. During the year ended December 31, 2022, another affiliate of the Company advanced $250,000 to the Company. These amounts were reflected on the balance sheets as advances
from
the Sponsor. The advances were
non-interest
bearing and are payable on demand. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance under advances from related parties of $1,320,403 and $263,725, respectively.
Working Capital Loan
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”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units (“Working Capital Units”) of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Working Capital Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $250,000 and $0 outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans, respectively.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Legal Fees
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company, contingent upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination will be required to pay legal fees of the approximate amount of $1,025,000. This balance is not included or reflected in the unaudited condensed
 
consolidated
financial statements.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on December 2, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Placement Units (including securities contained therein) and any Working Capital Units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and any Class A ordinary shares and warrants (and underlying Class A ordinary shares) that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Units issued as part of the Working Capital Loans and Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights. The holders of the majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form 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. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,000,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.40 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 20,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,000,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) $0.60 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,800,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters 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.
Business Combination Agreement
On May 2, 2023, the Company, Guardian Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Avertix Medical, Inc. (f/k/a Angel Medical Systems, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Avertix”), and, solely with respect to Section3.03(b) and Section 7.21 of the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below), the Sponsor, entered into a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Avertix (the “Merger,” and together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Avertix Transactions”), with Avertix surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, prior to (but no later than the day preceding) the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) and following the exercise of their redemption right by Public Shareholders, the Company will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Domestication”). Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, the Company will change its name to “Avertix Medical, Inc.” (“New Avertix”).
Upon the effectiveness of the Domestication, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Avertix (the “New Avertix Common Stock”), (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one (1) share of New Avertix Common Stock, (iii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of the Company exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company will convert automatically into one New Avertix warrant exercisable to purchase one share of New Avertix Common Stock and (iv) each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and
one-half
of one warrant of the Company will convert automatically into a unit consisting of one share of New Avertix Common Stock and
one-half
of one New Avertix warrant.
Upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) each share of Avertix common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Avertix Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive (A) a number of shares of New Avertix Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and (B) the holder of such Avertix Common Stock’s contingent right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Avertix Earnout Shares (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, in each case, without interest, and (ii) each option to purchase shares of Avertix Common Stock (“Avertix Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether then vested or unvested, will be assumed by New Avertix and converted into (A) an option to purchase a number of shares of New Avertix Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) (“Exchanged Option”) equal to (x) the number of shares of Avertix Common Stock subject to such Avertix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price per share of such Avertix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio and (B) the holder of such Avertix Option’s contingent right to receive such holder’s pro rata share of the Avertix Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.
Following the Closing, as additional consideration for the Avertix Transactions, eligible equity holders of Avertix will be entitled to receive their respective pro rata share of 2,970,000 shares of New Avertix Common Stock (the “Avertix Earnout Shares”) in two equal tranches, each contingent upon New Avertix’s achievement of the applicable stock price milestones (the “Triggering Events”) during the time period between the date of Closing and the seven (7)-year anniversary of the Closing (the “Earnout Period”); provided that, with respect to any holder of a unvested Exchanged Option, an award of restricted stock units for a number of Avertix Earnout Shares otherwise issuable to such holder and subject to the same vesting terms as the unvested Exchanged Option will be issued to such holder in lieu of any Avertix Earnout Shares.
At the Effective Time, a portion of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares, consisting of 1,150,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company as of the date hereof (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”), will become unvested and subject to vesting and forfeiture, and will thereafter become vested only upon the occurrence of the applicable Triggering Event in the same proportion as the issuance of Avertix Earnout Shares to eligible equity holders of Avertix upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event. The Sponsor Earnout Shares are subject to reduction in connection with certain additional financing permitted under the Business Combination Agreement, and will be forfeited if the applicable Triggering Events do not occur during the Earnout Period.
The obligations of Avertix and the Company to consummate the Avertix Transactions are subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where permissible) at or prior to the Closing of various conditions, including, among other things: (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Avertix, respectively; (ii) the performance by the Company and Avertix, respectively, of its covenants and agreements; (iii) the absence of any material adverse effect that is continuing with respect to Avertix during the period between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Effective Time or the earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement, (iv) the approval of Avertix’s stockholders and the Company’s shareholders; (v) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form
S-4
to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Avertix Transactions (the “Avertix Registration Statement”) and the submission by the Company of the supplemental listing application to Nasdaq; (vi) the receipt of requisite government approvals; (vii) the Company having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the exercise of redemption rights provided to Public Shareholders in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company; and (viii) as a condition to Avertix’s obligations to consummate the Avertix Transactions, the total cash and cash equivalents of the Company at the Closing, after giving effect to redemptions by Public Shareholders, additional financing permitted under the Business Combination Agreement (including repayment of convertible notes issued to the Sponsor, if applicable) and payment of transaction expenses, being no less than $40,000,000.
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including: (i) by mutual written consent of the Company and Avertix; (ii) subject to certain cure periods, by either the Company or Avertix, as applicable, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by the Company or Avertix, as applicable, that would result in the failure of related closing conditions; (iii) by either the Company or Avertix if the Effective Time does not occur prior to December 31, 2023, subject to certain exceptions; (iv) by either the Company or Avertix if the transaction is prohibited by a final,
non-appealable
law or a government order; (v) by either the Company or Avertix if requisite approval is not obtained from the Company’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and (vi) by the Company if requisite approval is not obtained from Avertix’s stockholders within 2 business days after the Avertix Registration Statement becomes effective.
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Avertix Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Business Combination Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Avertix or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors should not rely on the
 
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company.
A&R Registration Rights Agreement
At the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor, the executive officers and directors of the Company, and certain equity holders of Avertix will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the parties thereto will be granted customary registration rights with respect to shares of New Avertix Common Stock.
Lock-Up
Arrangements
The Sponsor, holders of Placement Units, and Avertix equity holders will be subject to
lock-up
restrictions (the
“Lock-Up”)contained
in the proposed bylaws of New Avertix pursuant to which, without the prior written consent of New Avertix’s board of directors, during the period commencing on the date of the Closing and ending on the date that is the
one-year
anniversary of the Closing, such parties will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, such shares or other equity securities (the
“Lock-Up
Securities”) or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the
Lock-Up
Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of New Avertix Common Stock; provided, however, (a) if at any time 151 days after the Closing, the closing share price of New Avertix Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period (“Initial Price Target”), the none-third(1/3) of the
Lock-Up
Securities shall automatically be released from the
Lock-Up,
and (b) if at any time 151 days after the Closing, the closing share price of the New Avertix Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period (“Second Price Target”), then an additional
one-third(1/3)
of the
Lock-Up
Securities shall be released from the
Lock-Up.
For clarity, in the event that the Initial Price Target and/or the Second Price Target are not met, then the
Lock-up
Period shall terminate for all
Lock-up
Securities on the
one-year
anniversary of the Closing. The
lock-up
restrictions contain customary exceptions, including for estate planning transfers, affiliates transfers, certain open market transfers and transfers upon death or by will.
Pursuant to an amendment to that certain letter agreement by and between the Company, its officers and directors, and the Sponsor, dated December 2, 2021, to be entered into at the Closing (the “Letter Agreement Amendment”) and A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the
lock-up
restrictions for the Sponsor
At-Risk
Capital Lockup Shares, the Placement Shares and Placement Warrants (each as defined in the Letter Agreement Amendment) will lapse upon the
six-month
anniversary of the Closing, unless the Initial Price Target or Second Price Target are achieved before such date.
Stockholder Support Agreement
On May 2, 2023, the Company, Avertix, and certain affiliate stockholders of Avertix (“Key Avertix Holders”) entered into Stockholder Support Agreements (the “Stockholder Support Agreements”) pursuant to which the Key Avertix Holders agreed to, among other things, (i) waive any appraisal rights in connection with the Merger and (ii) consent to and vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Avertix Transactions.

Shareholders' Deficit
NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares
— The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 6,309,999 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 13,057,477 and 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption which are included in temporary equity.
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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 1 and 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as required by law.
 
The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination 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 offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an
as-converted
basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon completion of this offering (excluding the Private Placement Units and underlying securities) plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).
Warrants
— As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there are 11,500,000 Public Warrants issued and outstanding. 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. 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 warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. 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 best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the completion of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the warrants:
 
   
in whole and not in part;
 
   
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
 
   
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable to each warrant holder; and
 
   
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share
sub-divisions,
share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a
30-trading
day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. 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 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
additio
nal 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 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 its Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company completes its Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
 
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there are 280,000
Private
Placement Warrants issued and outstanding. 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.

Fair Value Measurements
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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 Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as
held-to-maturity
in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.”
Held-to-maturity
securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.
Held-to-maturity
treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
At June 30, 2023 assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $676 in cash and $138,432,529 in in money market
 
mutual
funds which are primarily invested in U.S. Treasury securities. During the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company withdrew an amount of $104,708,795 from the Trust Account in connection with redemption to be paid to Shareholders, in which $3,295,060 was interest income. At December 31, 2022, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $1,269 in cash and $118,782,140 in U.S. Treasury securities
 and $118,992,414 in money market funds.
 During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not withdraw any interest income
f
rom the Trust Account.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to
Form 10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X
of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K

Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, which was formed on April 27, 2023. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
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 auditor 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 ad
op
t the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated 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
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
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 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account
Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2023 substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were money market mutual funds which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury Securities. At December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual funds, which primarily invest in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company presents its investments in treasury securities on the balance sheets at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. The Company presents its investments in money market mutual funds on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
 
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
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 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 features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Classification
Warrant Classification
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company’s has analyzed the warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (“Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants and determined they are considered to be freestanding instruments and do not exhibit any of the characteristics in ASC 480 and therefore are not classified as liabilities under ASC 480. The warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815 and therefore are classified in equity.
Offering Costs
Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are 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 amounted to $14,483,021, which were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change for the next twelve months.
 
The Company
is
considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction 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 Income (loss) per Ordinary Share
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. 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. The Company has two classes of ordinary 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. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement (iii) the sponsor promissory loan, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the Sponsor Loan is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 11,780,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. The Sponsor Loan is convertible into 500,000 units, consisting of 500,000 Class A ordinary shares and 250,000 warrants. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any 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 per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
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 Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank became insolvent. State regulators closed the bank and the FDIC was appointed as its receiver. The Company held deposits with this bank. As a result of actions by the FDIC, the Company’s insured deposits have been restored.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Recent Accounting Standards
Recent Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU
2016-13
also requires additional disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU
2016-13
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU
2016-13
on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU
2016-13
did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
