Description of Organization and Business Operations |
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations StoneBridge Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 2, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating 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. On January 12, 2023, The Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report that on January 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with DigiAsia Bios Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“DigiAsia”), and the other parties thereto (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, and in accordance with applicable law, StoneBridge Acquisition Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will amalgamate with DigiAsia, with DigiAsia surviving the amalgamation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, StoneBridge Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”) entered into a support agreement with DigiAsia (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to vote all StoneBridge Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it in favor of the Amalgamation. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor has also agreed to certain share lock-up provisions (the “Sponsor Lock-up Provisions”). In addition, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain shareholders of DigiAsia entered into a support agreement (the “DigiAsia Shareholder Support Agreement”) with StoneBridge and DigiAsia pursuant to which such shareholders agreed to vote all shares of DigiAsia beneficially owned by them in favor of the Amalgamation. In connection with the Transactions, StoneBridge, DigiAsia and certain shareholders of DigiAsia who will receive PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, have entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”), to become effective upon the Closing. Prior to the consummation of the Transactions, certain DigiAsia shareholders, including all executive officers, heads of business lines and directors of DigiAsia as well as any other existing shareholder of DigiAsia holding greater than 1% of its share capital, will enter into a lock-up agreement (the “DigiAsia Shareholder Lock-up Agreement”) with DigiAsia and StoneBridge. Under the terms of the DigiAsia Shareholder Lock-up Agreement, and under the terms of the Sponsor Lock-up Provisions contained in the Sponsor Support Agreement, such certain DigiAsia shareholders and the Sponsor, each agree, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to: (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, assign, lend, offer, encumber, donate, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position (A) any PubCo Ordinary Shares, or (B) any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for PubCo Ordinary Shares, in each case, held by it immediately after the Effective Time (the “Lock-up Shares”) (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Lock-up Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise or; or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) above until the earlier of (A) (1) with respect to the DigiAsia shareholder’s Lock-Up Shares and 250,000 of the Sponsor’s Lock-Up Shares, nine months after the Closing Date, or (2) in the case of the remainder of the Sponsor’s Lock-Up Shares, six months after the Closing Date, and (B) subsequent to the Amalgamation, (1) if the last sale price of PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per PubCo Ordinary Share (as adjusted for share splits, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Amalgamation, or (2) the date on which PubCo completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of PubCo’s shareholders having the right to exchange their PubCo Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. In connection with the Closing, StoneBridge, the Sponsor and Alexander Rusli (the “Founder”) will enter into a Director Nomination Agreement (the “Director Nomination Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed that, among other things, at every meeting of PubCo Board of Directors (the “PubCo Board”), or a committee thereof, or action by written consent, at or by which directors of PubCo are appointed by PubCo Board or are nominated to stand for election and elected by shareholders of PubCo, the Sponsor shall have the right to appoint or nominate for election to PubCo Board, as applicable, two individuals (each a “Nominee,” and together, the “Nominees”), to serve as directors of PubCo; provided, that such Nominees shall be reasonably acceptable to the Founder. Further, PubCo shall take, and the Founder shall use his best efforts to cause PubCo to take, all necessary actions within its control, such that, as of the Effective Time, the Nominees shall either be elected by PubCo’s shareholders at the meeting held to approve the Transactions or appointed to PubCo Board. On June 26, 2023, in connection with the proposed transaction, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form F-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which included a proxy statement/prospectus and certain other related documents, which will be distributed to shareholders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders with respect to the proposed business combination transaction and other matters as described in the definitive proxy statement, as well as a prospectus relating to the offer and sale of the securities of DigiAsia to be issued in the proposed business combination transaction. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all of the Company’s shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the transaction. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, DigiAsia and additional holders of founder shares entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to (a) support and vote their founder shares in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the other transaction agreements to which the Company is or will be a party and the Business Combination; (b) subject their founder shares to certain transfer restrictions; and (c) after the Effective Time, for as long as the Sponsor (or a permitted transferee of Sponsor) holds Warrants, any exercise by Sponsor (or a Permitted Transferee of the Sponsor) of such Warrants will only be done on a cash (and not a cashless) basis. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, DigiAsia, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which DigiAsia agreed, among other things, to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain securities of DigiAsia held by the Holders and to provide the parties thereto customary demand, shelf and piggy-back rights on secondary offerings, subject to customary cut-back provisions and coordinated offerings. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2023, relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and, since the offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income earned on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 15, 2021. On July 20, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”) with respect to the Class A ordinary shares (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) included in the Units being offered (the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 8,000,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, StoneBridge Acquisition Sponsor LLC and underwriters generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000, which is described in Note 4. Offering costs for the Initial Public Offering amounted to $13,577,812, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account (defined below)) and $577,812 of other costs. The Company immediately expensed $757,003 of offering costs in connection with the Warrants that were classified as liabilities. As described in Note 6, the $9,000,000 of deferred underwriting fee payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination by October 20, 2022, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On September 30, 2022, the Company extended the time for a Business Combination for a further period of three months i.e., from October 20, 2022 to January 20, 2023. At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on January 20, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from January 20, 2023 up to 6 times for an additional one (1) month each time up to July 20, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 24 months after the consummation of its initial public offering). The Company held another Extraordinary General Meeting on July 19, 2023 at which the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to further amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Second Extension Amendment”) to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from July 20, 2023 up to 6 times for an additional one (1) month each time up to January 20, 2024 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 30 months after the consummation of its initial public offering). On June 22, 2023, parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Termination Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) from June 30, 2023 to December 29, 2023. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 20, 2021, an amount of $202,000,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will 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 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve 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. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.10 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Company’s warrants. All of the 20,000,000 Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Class A ordinary shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99 if it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place. Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or share exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or share exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or share exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. 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 6) 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 the proposed transaction. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will adopt an insider trading policy which will require insiders to: (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout periods and when they are in possession of any material non-public information and (ii) to clear all trades with the Company’s legal counsel prior to execution. In addition, the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that 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 an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A Ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company. The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “Initial Shareholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A Ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment. At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on January 20, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment”) to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from January 20, 2023 up to 6 times for an additional one (1) month each time up to July 20, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 24 months after the consummation of its initial public offering). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by July 20, 2023, which is 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering 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 us to pay the Company’s franchise and income 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 the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, 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. In the event that the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees elect to extend the time to complete a business combination and deposit the applicable amount of money into trust, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees would receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Neither the Sponsor nor its affiliates or designees are obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for the Company to complete an initial business combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of the parties decide to extend the period of time to consummate an initial business combination, such parties may deposit the entire amount required. The Company has extended the Business Combination date from October 20, 2022 to July 20, 2023. At the Board meeting held on October 31, 2022, the company has agreed to accept from the sponsor an unsecured debt of $1,000,000 and the sponsors have also made monthly payment of $150,000 each month for the six months ended June 30, 2023 which is deposited in the trust account. At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 19, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Second Extension Amendment”) to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from July 20, 2023 up to 6 times for an additional one (1) month each time up to January 20, 2024 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 30 months after the consummation of its initial public offering). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by January 20, 2024, which is 30 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering 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 us to pay the Company’s franchise and income 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 the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, 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. In the event that the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees elect to extend the time to complete a business combination and deposit the applicable amount of money into the trust account, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees would receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Neither the Sponsor nor its affiliates or designees are obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for the Company to complete an initial business combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of the parties decide to extend the period of time to consummate an initial business combination, such parties may deposit the entire amount required. The Company has extended the Business Combination date from October 20, 2023 to November 20, 2023. On October 20, 2023, the Sponsor made a monthly payment of $60,649 which was deposited in the trust account. The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period 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 residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.10 per shares held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor 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. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or 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”). Moreover, 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 (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business execute agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. At the Company’s Shareholder’s Special meeting held on January 20, 2023, the stockholders of 16,988,575 shares of Class A ordinary shares of the Company exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.32 per share, for an aggregate payment of approximately $175,285,891, which is withdrawn from the company’s trust account to redeem such shares. At the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on July 19, 2023, the shareholders of 585,456 shares of Class A ordinary shares of the Company exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.92 per share, for an aggregate payment of approximately $6,395,800, which is withdrawn from the company’s trust account to redeem such shares. Liquidity and Going Concern As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $123,789 in its operating bank account, $26,974,295 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Ordinary Shares in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $3,889,119. As of September 30, 2023, $1,646,951 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations. Management expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company believes it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditure required for operating its business and to consummate a business combination. 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 addition, following the Business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) 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, obtain approval for an extension of the deadline or complete a Business Combination by October 20, 2022, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. At the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on July 19, 2023, the shareholders of the Company approved the Second Amendment Extension which permits the Company to further extend the time to consummate a business combination from July 20, 2023 up to 6 times for an additional one (1) month each time up to January 20, 2024 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 30 months after the consummation of its initial public offering). It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by the specified period. If a Business Combination is not consummated by January 20, 2024, (extended period), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 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. As a result of this action 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. In addition, 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. Recently in October 2023, the military conflict between Israel and militant groups led by Hamas has also caused uncertainty in the global markets. The full impact of the war between Israel and Hamas and related global economic disruptions on our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the consummation of our Business Combination, also remains uncertain. The management will continuously evaluate the effect to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
