1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Aura
Fat Projects Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on December 6, 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 (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any
specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly
or indirectly, with any Business Combination target. The Company will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in
its identification and acquisition of a target company.
As
of February 28, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 6, 2021 (inception)
through February 28, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”),
which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues
until after the completion of its initial 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 Company has selected November 30 as its fiscal
year end.
The
Company’s sponsor is Aura FAT Projects Capital LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 12, 2022. On April 18,
2022, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (“Units”), which includes the exercise of the
over-allotment option in full of 1,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private sale of 5,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement
Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Aura FAT Projects Capital LLC generating
gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $5,000,000.
Transaction
costs amounted to $5,724,785 consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees paid in cash, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable
(which are held in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”)),
and $549,785 of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. Cash of $139,691 was held outside of the Trust Account on February 28,
2023 and was available for working capital purposes. As described in Note 6, the $4,025,000 deferred underwriting fees are contingent
upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
The
Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets
held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned
on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the
Company will complete the initial Business Combination only if the post-Business Combination company in which its public shareholders
own shares will own or acquire 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register
as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business
Combination successfully.

Upon
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, an amount of $117,300,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units
in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may only be
invested in United States “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”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market
funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government
treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company
to pay its tax obligations and up to $100,000 of interest that may be used for its dissolution expenses, the proceeds from the Initial
Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account
until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly
submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s 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 initial Business Combination
or certain amendments to the memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company
does not complete the initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or as extended by
the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association)
(the “Combination Period”) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business
Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination
within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims
of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of its public shareholders.
The
Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion
of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination
or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business
Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors
such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval
under applicable law or share exchange listing requirements.
The
public shareholders are entitled to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination
at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior
to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest
shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.
The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.20 per public share, however, there is no guarantee that investors
will receive $10.20 per share upon redemption.
The
shares of ordinary share subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion
of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed
with a Business Combination if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are not classified as a “penny stock” upon such
consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares
voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

The
Company will have only 15 months (or up to a 21-month if the Company chooses to extend such period, as described in more detail in the
final prospectus, or as extended by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable
to complete the initial 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 the public shares,
at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on
the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’
rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii)
as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and
its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above to the Company’s obligations
under the laws of Cayman Islands to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The
Sponsor, officers and directors will enter into a letter agreement with Company, pursuant to which they will agree to (i) waive their
redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial
Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection
with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A)
to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination
or certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association prior thereto or to redeem 100%
of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period for each three month
extension, into the Trust Account, or as extended by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association), or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to any other provision relating
to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
with respect to any founder shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination
Period although the Company will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they
hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.
The
Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products
sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality
or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20
per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust
Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability
will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies
held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity
of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However,
the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether
the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities
of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Going
Concern Consideration
As
of February 28, 2023, the Company had $139,691 in its operating bank accounts and working capital of $94,404, which excludes $2,731,079
of income earned on the Trust Account, which may be used to pay tax obligations.
Until
the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating
prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting
the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
The
Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans and will not generate any operating revenues until after
the completion of its initial business combination. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments
from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are
not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion,
to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company
is unable to raise additional capital, it 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.
The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the
Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced
to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations
in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate
liquidity needs as well as complete an Initial Business Combination by July 18, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations,
except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate a business combination
prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company
be required to liquidate after July 18, 2023.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could
have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific
impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Additionally,
as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and
related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business
with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. Further, the Company’s
ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these
events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable
on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable.
The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited 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 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 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as
filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. The interim results for the three months ended February 28, 2023 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the period from December 6, 2021 (inception) through November 30, 2022 or for
any future periods.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not
being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement 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 financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
AURA
FAT PROJECTS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES
TO 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 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 as of February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022. As of February 28, 2023 and
November 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $139,691 and $360,530, respectively.
Marketable
Securities Held in Trust Account
At
February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U. S. Treasury
Bills. All the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented
on the unaudited balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair
value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying
statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.
As of February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, the Company had $120,031,079 and $118,785,342 in the Trust Account, respectively.
Offering
Costs associated with an Initial Public Offering
The
Company complies with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
(“SAB”) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs of $549,784 consist principally of costs incurred in
connection with formation of the Company and preparation for the Initial Public Offering. These costs, together with the underwriter
discount of $5,175,000, were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Class
A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity”. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and
are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are
either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s
control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s
Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject
to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at February 28, 2023 and November 30, 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 balance sheets.
The
Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary
Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increase or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable
Class A Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic
740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement 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 February 28, 2023, 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 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 period presented. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized
tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
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 share outstanding for the period.
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 since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events.
The warrants are exercisable to purchase 16,500,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. For the respective periods ending February 28,
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 income (loss) per ordinary share is the
same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary shares for the periods presented.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced
losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term
nature.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a
material effect on the Company’s unaudited financial statements.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary
share and one redeemable warrant. Only whole warrants are exercisable. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary
share at $11.50 per share.
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,000,000 warrants, at a price
of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000.
Each
Private Placement Warrant is identical to the warrants offered by the Initial Public Offering, except as described below. There will
be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants, which will
expire worthless if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Private Placement Warrants
(including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the placement warrants) are identical to the warrants sold in the Initial
Public Offering except that (a) the placement warrants and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or saleable
until 30 days after the consummation of our initial Business Combination, except to permitted transferees, and (b) will be entitled to
registration rights.
NOTE
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
On
January 7, 2022, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for
2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). Up to 375,000 Founder Shares were subject to
forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. The Founder Shares
are no longer subject to forfeiture due to full exercise of the over-allotment by the underwriter.
The
Company’s initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares (or ordinary shares issuable
upon conversion thereof) until the earlier to occur of: (A) 180 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B)
the date on which the Company complete a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that
results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property
(the “Lock-up”). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Company’s
initial shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the converted Class A ordinary shares will be
released from the Lock-up if (i) the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted
for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other transactions) for any 20 trading days within
any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (ii) if the Company completes a transaction
after the initial Business Combination which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares
for cash, securities or other property.
Administrative
Services Fee

share. Holders are entitled to one vote for each share of Class B ordinary shares. At February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022,
there were 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
Only
holders of the Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors. Holders of the public shares will not be entitled
to vote on the appointment of directors during such time. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination, holders
of a majority of the Company’s Founder Shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason by ordinary resolution.
These provisions of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special

without initial Business Combination, except as required by law, holders of the Company’s Founder Shares and holders of the public
shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder of one vote.
The
Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the consummation of the initial Business
Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. 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 this prospectus and related to the closing of the initial
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 the completion
of the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Warrants and underlying securities and the representative shares) plus
all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination

exercisable or exchangeable for Class A ordinary shares issued in a financing transaction in connection with the initial Business Combination,
including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be “deemed issued” for purposes of the
conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar
securities. Any conversion of Class B ordinary shares described herein will take effect as a compulsory redemption of Class B ordinary
shares and an issuance of Class A ordinary shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert
into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one.

Warrants
— Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject
to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issue additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities
for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue
price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by
the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account
any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”),
(y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available
for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions),
and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A ordinary share during the 20 trading day period starting
on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummate the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”)
is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater
of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption
of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued
Price.
The
warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from closing of the Initial Public Offering and the date of the consummation
of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination,
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company is not registering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the Company has
agreed the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary
shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 business days following
the initial Business Combination 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 issuance of the Class A ordinary shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial 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. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise
their warrants on a cashless basis.
Redemption

redeem the outstanding warrants:
|
● |
in
whole and not in part; |
|
|
|
|
● |
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
|
|
|

upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable (the “30-day redemption

if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share
subdivisions, share dividends, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within
a 30-trading day period commencing once the warrants become exercisable and ending 3 business days before the Company send the notice
of redemption to the warrant holders. |

If
holders of Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering the
warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class
A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise
price, by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose shall mean the average reported last sale price
of the Class A ordinary share for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption
is sent to the holders of warrants.
Representative
Shares
The
Company issued to the representative or its designees 115,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Initial
Public Offering. These shares are referred to as the “representative shares”. The holders of the representative shares have
agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such ordinary shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination.
In
addition, the holders of the representative’s shares have agreed (i) that they will not transfer, assign or sell any such shares
without the Company’s prior consent until the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) to waive their redemption rights
(or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination
and (iii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails
to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The representative’s shares are deemed to be underwriters’
compensation by FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110.
NOTE
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each
reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The
fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would
have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company
seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is
used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
liabilities:
|
Level
1: |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
|
|
Level
2: |
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
|
|
Level
3: |
Unobservable
inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
At
February 28, 2023, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $575 in cash and $120,030,504 in U.S. Treasury securities.
During the three months ended February 28, 2023, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account.
