(the “SPAC”) intends to effect a deregistration under the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (“Companies Act”) and a domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), pursuant to which the SPAC’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). All securities being registered will be issued by the continuing entity following the Domestication, which will be renamed “Zapata Computing Holdings Inc.” in connection with the Merger, as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus. Unless otherwise stated in this proxy statement/prospectus or the context otherwise requires, references to “registrant,” “our,” “we” or “us” refer, prior to the Merger, to the SPAC and, following the Domestication and the Merger, to Zapata Computing Holdings Inc., which we also refer to as the “Surviving Company” or the “Company.”
