NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

SilverBox Corp III (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on March 16, 2021. The Company announced on November 4, 2024 that because it did not complete its initial business combination by November 2, 2024, it has decided to dissolve and liquidate with a redemption of its public shares expected to occur on November 15, 2024. Prior to the Company’s announcement, the Company’s intention was to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not reflect the pending redemption of the Public Shares as announced on November 4, 2024 and the pending cancellation of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in connection with the decision of the Company to dissolve and liquidate.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 16, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering 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 as a result of its November 4, 2024 announcement to dissolve and liquidate. The Company generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held in the Trust from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below).

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 27, 2023. On March 2, 2023, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 13,800,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Common Stock”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,800,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $138,000,000 which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,260,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, SilverBox Sponsor III LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,390,000 which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $8,385,876 consisting of $2,484,000 of underwriting fees, net of $276,000 reimbursed by the underwriter, $4,830,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $1,071,876 of other offering costs.

The Company was required to complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company could only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owned or acquired 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquired 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There was no assurance that the Company would be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 2, 2023, an amount of $139,380,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of 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 as described below, the funds held in the Trust Account would not have been released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination; (2) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (3) the redemption of all of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company had not completed an initial Business Combination within the

Completion Window, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could have become subject to the claims of the creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

The Company would have provided its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (1) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (2) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company would seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer would have been made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and would have  been based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek stockholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. The stockholders would have been entitled to redeem all or a portion of the 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 (net of permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of the outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is $10.72 per Public Share as of September 30, 2024.

The shares of common stock subject to redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company would have proceeded with a Business Combination if the Company had net tangible assets, after payment of the deferred underwriting commissions, of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company had sought stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

On August 27, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to approve (i) the option to extend the date by which the Company must effect its initial business combination from the Termination Date to six (6) one-month extensions for a total of six months following the Termination Date through March 2, 2025 (each, an “Extension”) upon the deposit into the Trust Account of the Monthly Extension Payment (as defined below) for each Extension, (ii) the conversion of the shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder(s), and (iii) the elimination of the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of less than $5,000,000.

To effectuate each Extension, the Sponsor and/or its designee(s) deposited the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) $0.025 for each share of Class A common stock then outstanding after giving effect to redemptions (the “Monthly Extension Payment”).

In connection with the Special Meeting, stockholders holding 10,019,700 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $107 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company have 3,780,300 Public Shares outstanding.

On August 27, 2024, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Charter Amendment”) to incorporate the approval of the aforementioned proposals voted upon during the special meeting of stockholders.

In connection with the Special Meeting, on August 27, 2024, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in favor of the Sponsor (the “Extension Note”), providing for loans up to the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 (see Note 5).

On August 28, 2024, the Sponsor converted all of its 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock into 3,450,000 shares of Class A common stock (see Note 5).

On September 4, 2024, pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor deposited $94,508 into the Company’s Trust Account for a one-month extension from September 2, 2024 to October 2, 2024.

On September 26, 2024, pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor deposited $94,508 into the Company’s Trust Account for a one-month extension from October 2, 2024 to November 2, 2024.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Under the Charter Amendment, the Company had until November 2, 2024 to complete the initial Business Combination (March 2, 2025 if extended by the full amount of time, (the “Combination Period”)).  The Company") announced on November 4, 2024 that because it did not complete its initial business combination by November 2, 2024, the Company intends to dissolve and liquidate. The redemption of the Company's public shares is expected to occur on November 15, 2024. Therefore, the Company intends to (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed to: (1) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (2) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummated its initial Business Combination within the Combination Window or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (3) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Window (although they 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 completion window) (4) vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the initial Business Combination.

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 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: (1) $10.10 per Public Share or (2) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less income and franchise 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 underwriter 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 the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Going Concern and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $184,174 of unrestricted cash, $134,246 of restricted cash, $40,751,549 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its common stock in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $1,999,732.

Prior to the Company’s announcement on November 4, 2024 of its decision to dissolve and liquidate, the Company was using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective Business Combination 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.

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 the Company currently lacks the liquidity it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the condensed financial statements are issued as it expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company announced on November 4, 2024 its decision to dissolve and liquidate with a redemption of the Company’s public shares expected to occur on November 15, 2024. These conditions 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 liquidate after November 15, 2024. The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the time of filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Risks and Uncertainties

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Middle East and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial business combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the Excise Tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. Any amount of such Excise Tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full. The Company had no common stock redemptions in 2023 and no excise tax was due on October 31, 2024.

In connection with the stockholders' vote at the Special Meeting held on August 27, 2024, there were 10,019,700 shares tendered for redemption and approximately $107 million was paid out of the Trust Account on September 5, 2024 to the redeeming stockholders. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has recorded 1% excise tax payable based on the amount of common stock redemptions paid or an aggregate amount of $1,073,971 and is presented in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to this obligation.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart the Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”). 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

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 condensed 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 had $184,174 and $790,318 in unrestricted cash and no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Cash - Restricted

Cash that is encumbered or otherwise restricted as to its use is included in cash – restricted. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance was $134,246 and $0, respectively. Cash – restricted at September 30, 2024 represents cash that was withdrawn from the Trust Account to pay franchise taxes but is yet to be utilized at the end of the period.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills, respectively. The Company accounts for its marketable securities as trading securities under ASC 320, where securities are presented at fair value on the condensed balance sheets and with unrealized gains or losses, if any, presented on the statements of operations. From inception through September 30, 2024, the Company withdrew $2,582,353 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for the Company’s franchise and income taxes.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Fair Value Measurement

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. US 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). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Warrants

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 and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, 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.

(Unaudited)

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. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statement of operations. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at its assigned fair value and the warrants do not require remeasurement after issuance.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company’s common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies public common stock subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The public common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering is issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of public common stock classified as temporary equity is allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as it occurs and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock will result in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the redeemable common stock reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset of $416,566 and $216,293, respectively, had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 32.03% and 23.54%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 24.97% and 25.93%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, due to the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, fines and penalties, and merger & acquisitions deal costs.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s condensed financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. 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 Per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as calculated using the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 8,860,000 shares of Class A common stock. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share since the inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive. The Warrants cannot be converted to shares of Class A common stock prior to an initial Business Combination; therefore, they have been classified as anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Working Capital Loan (see Note 5) is convertible, at the lender’s option, into Units consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one Warrant (see Note 4). Because the conversion feature cannot be exercised until the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the underlying Units are also considered anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share.

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has two classes of common shares, Class A common shares and Class B common shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, earnings were adjusted for the effects of the excess cash received over the fair value of the Placement Warrants, and allocated pro rata between the two classes of common shares. The deemed dividend to Class A stockholders was allocated to the Class A shares as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit 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 account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Public Units

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 13,800,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment option in the amount of 1,800,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Only whole warrants are exercisable. The warrants were to become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and were to expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As discussed in Note 1, the Company announced on November 4, 2024 its decision to dissolve and liquidate with a redemption of the Company’s public shares expected to occur on November 15, 2024.  The Company will be cancelling the Public Warrants in connection with its liquidation.

Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The warrants were to become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and were to 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. As discussed in Note 1, the Company announced on November 4, 2024 its decision to dissolve and liquidate. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,260,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,390,000 from the Company in a private placement. Each Private Placement Warrant was exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrant were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. Because the Company will not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period as discussed in Note 1, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Common Stock (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On March 31, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, in consideration for 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). In December 2021, we effected a stock dividend of 2.5 shares for each Founder Share resulting in the Sponsor owning 7,187,500 Founder Shares.

Up to 450,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor due to the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option in full at the Initial Public Offering.

August 2024 Stock Conversion

On August 28, 2024, the Sponsor converted all of its 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock into 3,450,000 shares of Class A common stock.

Promissory Note

On March 31, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On December 21, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to extend the Promissory Note to the earlier of September 30, 2022 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequently, on October 28, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to extend the Promissory Note to the earlier of September 30, 2023 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As part of the Initial Public Offering, $279,493 was repaid to the Sponsor and no balances remain outstanding as of March 2, 2023. Borrowings under the promissory note are no longer available.

Convertible Extension Note

In connection with the Special Meeting held on August 27, 2024, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in favor of the Sponsor, providing for loans up to the aggregate principal amount of $600,000. The Extension Note bears no interest and all unpaid principal under the Extension Note will be due and payable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company (the “Maturity Date”). The Sponsor, at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, to convert up to $600,000 outstanding under the Extension Note into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same adjustments applicable to the private placement warrants sold concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has borrowed an aggregate of $189,015 and $0, respectively, under the Extension Note.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor, commencing on February 27, 2023, a total of $25,000 per month for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $75,000 and $225,000 of administrative services fees, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $75,000 and $175,000 of administrative services fees, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has $150,000 and $0 in outstanding administrative services fees which was included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses line in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

On February 7, 2024, the Company amended the administrative support agreement wherein the Sponsor agreed not to be paid the monthly fee of $25,000 if the payment of such fee would result in negative cash balance for the Company within the subsequent three month period, as determined by the Chief Financial Officer based on the cash projections of the Company; provided that any unpaid monthly fees shall accrue and shall be payable in arrears by the Company upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation.

Financial Advisory Services

On February 13, 2023, the Company and Signet Securities, LLC (“Signet”) entered into an agreement in which the Company engages Signet as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Signet would have received an amount equal to (1) 10% of the non-deferred underwriting commission payable to the underwriter, totaling $276,000, and (2) 20% of the deferred underwriting commission payable to the underwriter, which would have been paid to Signet upon the closing of the Business Combination. One of the Founding Partners of the Company, and the Chief Operating Officer, were registered representatives of Signet, and would have participated in a portion of the fees payable to Signet in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. As discussed in Note 1, the Company will dissolve and liquidate and as a result, will not be closing the Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers 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 consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on February 27, 2023, the holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants, which were issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (iii) warrants that would have been issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) have registration rights that would have required the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders had certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination. The Company was to bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $4,830,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee would have become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completed a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. As discussed in Note 1, the Company will not be closing the Business Combination within the Combination Period.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2024, there were 3,450,000 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 3,780,300 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. At December 31, 2023, there were 0 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 13,800,000 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were 0 and 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its stockholders.

The Class B common stock was to automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities had been issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares would have equaled, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion, including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares would have never occurred on a less than one-for-one basis.

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.

References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer to SilverBox Corp III References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to SilverBox Sponsor III LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the Proposed Business Combination (as defined below), the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions of the Proposed Business Combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 16, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company announced on November 4, 2024 that because it did not complete its initial business combination by November 2, 2024, it has decided to dissolve and liquidate with a redemption of its public shares expected to occur on November 15, 2024.  Prior to the Company’s accouncement, our intention was to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from March 16, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues as a result of its November 4, 2024 announcement to dissolve and liquidate. Prior to our announcement, we generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incurred 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 September 30, 2024, we had net income of $610,208, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,423,400, offset by an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $3,802, operating costs of $521,774 and provision for income taxes of $287,616.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had net income of $3,055,078, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,210,147, offset by operating costs of $1,138,297 and provision for income taxes of $1,016,772.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of $1,193,412, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,888,100, offset by unrealized loss on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $51,242, operating costs of $275,991, and provision for income taxes of $367,455.

20

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of $2,309,197, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,001,782 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $14,515, offset by operating costs of $898,670 and provision for income taxes of $808,430.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 2, 2023, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 13,800,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,800,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $138,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,260,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6,390,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $139,380,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $8,385,876 consisting of $2,484,000 of underwriting fees, net of $276,000 reimbursed by the underwriter, $4,830,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $1,071,876 of other offering costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $2,289,251. Net income of $3,055,078 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,210,147. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $134,182 of cash for operating activities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,236,942. Net income of $2,309,197 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,001,782 and unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $14,515. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $470,158 of cash for operating activities.

As of September 30, 2024, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $40,751,549 (including approximately $2,381,504 of interest income that has not been withdrawn) consisting of money market funds. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2024, we have withdrawn $2,582,353 of interest earned from the Trust Account.

Prior to our announcement to redeem all our public shares, we had intended 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 our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt was used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account would have been used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of September 30, 2024, we had unrestricted cash of $184,174 and restricted cash of $134,246. Prior to our announcement of our intention to dissolve and liquidate, we had 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 an initial business combination.  Subsequent to the announcement of our intention to dissolve and liquidate, we intend to use such funds to pay expenses associated with the liquidation and to settle outstanding liabilities of the Company.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates might have, but were not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we had completed an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. As we have not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period and have announced our intention to dissolve and liquidate, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $2,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

The Company announced on November 4, 2024 that because it did not complete its initial business combination by November 2, 2024, it has decided to dissolve and liquidate with a redemption of its public shares expected to occur on November 15, 2024. We have determined that such mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution and the liquidity issue raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the condensed financial statements. The condensed 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern.

21

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2024. 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.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $4,830,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee would have become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we completed an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ (deficit) equity section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net Income Per Common Share

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial 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 principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2024 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

SilverBox Corp III (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on March 16, 2021. The Company announced on November 4, 2024 that because it did not complete its initial business combination by November 2, 2024, it has decided to dissolve and liquidate with a redemption of its public shares expected to occur on November 15, 2024. Prior to the Company’s announcement, the Company’s intention was to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not reflect the pending redemption of the Public Shares as announced on November 4, 2024 and the pending cancellation of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in connection with the decision of the Company to dissolve and liquidate.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 16, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering 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 as a result of its November 4, 2024 announcement to dissolve and liquidate. The Company generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held in the Trust from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below).

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 27, 2023. On March 2, 2023, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 13,800,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Common Stock”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,800,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $138,000,000 which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,260,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, SilverBox Sponsor III LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,390,000 which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $8,385,876 consisting of $2,484,000 of underwriting fees, net of $276,000 reimbursed by the underwriter, $4,830,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $1,071,876 of other offering costs.

The Company was required to complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company could only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owned or acquired 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquired 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There was no assurance that the Company would be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 2, 2023, an amount of $139,380,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of 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 as described below, the funds held in the Trust Account would not have been released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination; (2) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (3) the redemption of all of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company had not completed an initial Business Combination within the

Completion Window, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could have become subject to the claims of the creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

The Company would have provided its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (1) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (2) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company would seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer would have been made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and would have  been based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek stockholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. The stockholders would have been entitled to redeem all or a portion of the 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 (net of permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of the outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is $10.72 per Public Share as of September 30, 2024.

The shares of common stock subject to redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company would have proceeded with a Business Combination if the Company had net tangible assets, after payment of the deferred underwriting commissions, of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company had sought stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

On August 27, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to approve (i) the option to extend the date by which the Company must effect its initial business combination from the Termination Date to six (6) one-month extensions for a total of six months following the Termination Date through March 2, 2025 (each, an “Extension”) upon the deposit into the Trust Account of the Monthly Extension Payment (as defined below) for each Extension, (ii) the conversion of the shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder(s), and (iii) the elimination of the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of less than $5,000,000.

To effectuate each Extension, the Sponsor and/or its designee(s) deposited the lesser of (i) $100,000 and (ii) $0.025 for each share of Class A common stock then outstanding after giving effect to redemptions (the “Monthly Extension Payment”).

In connection with the Special Meeting, stockholders holding 10,019,700 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $107 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company have 3,780,300 Public Shares outstanding.

On August 27, 2024, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Charter Amendment”) to incorporate the approval of the aforementioned proposals voted upon during the special meeting of stockholders.

In connection with the Special Meeting, on August 27, 2024, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in favor of the Sponsor (the “Extension Note”), providing for loans up to the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 (see Note 5).

On August 28, 2024, the Sponsor converted all of its 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock into 3,450,000 shares of Class A common stock (see Note 5).

On September 4, 2024, pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor deposited $94,508 into the Company’s Trust Account for a one-month extension from September 2, 2024 to October 2, 2024.

On September 26, 2024, pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Sponsor deposited $94,508 into the Company’s Trust Account for a one-month extension from October 2, 2024 to November 2, 2024.

Under the Charter Amendment, the Company had until November 2, 2024 to complete the initial Business Combination (March 2, 2025 if extended by the full amount of time, (the “Combination Period”)).  The Company") announced on November 4, 2024 that because it did not complete its initial business combination by November 2, 2024, the Company intends to dissolve and liquidate. The redemption of the Company's public shares is expected to occur on November 15, 2024. Therefore, the Company intends to (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed to: (1) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (2) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummated its initial Business Combination within the Combination Window or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (3) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Window (although they 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 completion window) (4) vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the initial Business Combination.

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 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: (1) $10.10 per Public Share or (2) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less income and franchise 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 underwriter 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 the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Going Concern and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $184,174 of unrestricted cash, $134,246 of restricted cash, $40,751,549 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its common stock in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $1,999,732.

Prior to the Company’s announcement on November 4, 2024 of its decision to dissolve and liquidate, the Company was using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective Business Combination 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.

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 the Company currently lacks the liquidity it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the condensed financial statements are issued as it expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company announced on November 4, 2024 its decision to dissolve and liquidate with a redemption of the Company’s public shares expected to occur on November 15, 2024. These conditions 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 liquidate after November 15, 2024. The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the time of filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Risks and Uncertainties

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Middle East and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and around the Red Sea and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial business combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the Excise Tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. Any amount of such Excise Tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full. The Company had no common stock redemptions in 2023 and no excise tax was due on October 31, 2024.

In connection with the stockholders' vote at the Special Meeting held on August 27, 2024, there were 10,019,700 shares tendered for redemption and approximately $107 million was paid out of the Trust Account on September 5, 2024 to the redeeming stockholders. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has recorded 1% excise tax payable based on the amount of common stock redemptions paid or an aggregate amount of $1,073,971 and is presented in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to this obligation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 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 of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart the Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”). 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

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 condensed 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 had $184,174 and $790,318 in unrestricted cash and no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Cash - Restricted

Cash that is encumbered or otherwise restricted as to its use is included in cash – restricted. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance was $134,246 and $0, respectively. Cash – restricted at September 30, 2024 represents cash that was withdrawn from the Trust Account to pay franchise taxes but is yet to be utilized at the end of the period.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills, respectively. The Company accounts for its marketable securities as trading securities under ASC 320, where securities are presented at fair value on the condensed balance sheets and with unrealized gains or losses, if any, presented on the statements of operations. From inception through September 30, 2024, the Company withdrew $2,582,353 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for the Company’s franchise and income taxes.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Fair Value Measurement

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. US 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). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Warrants

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 and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, 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. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statement of operations. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at its assigned fair value and the warrants do not require remeasurement after issuance.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company’s common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies public common stock subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The public common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering is issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of public common stock classified as temporary equity is allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as it occurs and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock will result in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the redeemable common stock reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset of $416,566 and $216,293, respectively, had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 32.03% and 23.54%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 24.97% and 25.93%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, due to the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, fines and penalties, and merger & acquisitions deal costs.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s condensed financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. 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 Per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as calculated using the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 8,860,000 shares of Class A common stock. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share since the inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive. The Warrants cannot be converted to shares of Class A common stock prior to an initial Business Combination; therefore, they have been classified as anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Working Capital Loan (see Note 5) is convertible, at the lender’s option, into Units consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one Warrant (see Note 4). Because the conversion feature cannot be exercised until the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the underlying Units are also considered anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share.

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has two classes of common shares, Class A common shares and Class B common shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, earnings were adjusted for the effects of the excess cash received over the fair value of the Placement Warrants, and allocated pro rata between the two classes of common shares. The deemed dividend to Class A stockholders was allocated to the Class A shares as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit 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 account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Public Units

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 13,800,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their overallotment option in the amount of 1,800,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Only whole warrants are exercisable. The warrants were to become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and were to expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As discussed in Note 1, the Company announced on November 4, 2024 its decision to dissolve and liquidate with a redemption of the Company’s public shares expected to occur on November 15, 2024.  The Company will be cancelling the Public Warrants in connection with its liquidation.

Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The warrants were to become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and were to 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. As discussed in Note 1, the Company announced on November 4, 2024 its decision to dissolve and liquidate. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,260,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,390,000 from the Company in a private placement. Each Private Placement Warrant was exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrant were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. Because the Company will not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period as discussed in Note 1, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Common Stock (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On December 21, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to extend the Promissory Note to the earlier of September 30, 2022 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequently, on October 28, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to extend the Promissory Note to the earlier of September 30, 2023 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As part of the Initial Public Offering, $279,493 was repaid to the Sponsor and no balances remain outstanding as of March 2, 2023. Borrowings under the promissory note are no longer available.

Convertible Extension Note

In connection with the Special Meeting held on August 27, 2024, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in favor of the Sponsor, providing for loans up to the aggregate principal amount of $600,000. The Extension Note bears no interest and all unpaid principal under the Extension Note will be due and payable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company (the “Maturity Date”). The Sponsor, at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, to convert up to $600,000 outstanding under the Extension Note into warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same adjustments applicable to the private placement warrants sold concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has borrowed an aggregate of $189,015 and $0, respectively, under the Extension Note.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor, commencing on February 27, 2023, a total of $25,000 per month for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $75,000 and $225,000 of administrative services fees, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $75,000 and $175,000 of administrative services fees, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has $150,000 and $0 in outstanding administrative services fees which was included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses line in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

On February 7, 2024, the Company amended the administrative support agreement wherein the Sponsor agreed not to be paid the monthly fee of $25,000 if the payment of such fee would result in negative cash balance for the Company within the subsequent three month period, as determined by the Chief Financial Officer based on the cash projections of the Company; provided that any unpaid monthly fees shall accrue and shall be payable in arrears by the Company upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation.

Financial Advisory Services

On February 13, 2023, the Company and Signet Securities, LLC (“Signet”) entered into an agreement in which the Company engages Signet as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Signet would have received an amount equal to (1) 10% of the non-deferred underwriting commission payable to the underwriter, totaling $276,000, and (2) 20% of the deferred underwriting commission payable to the underwriter, which would have been paid to Signet upon the closing of the Business Combination. One of the Founding Partners of the Company, and the Chief Operating Officer, were registered representatives of Signet, and would have participated in a portion of the fees payable to Signet in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. As discussed in Note 1, the Company will dissolve and liquidate and as a result, will not be closing the Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers 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 consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on February 27, 2023, the holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants, which were issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (iii) warrants that would have been issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) have registration rights that would have required the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders had certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination. The Company was to bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $4,830,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee would have become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completed a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. As discussed in Note 1, the Company will not be closing the Business Combination within the Combination Period.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2024, there were 3,450,000 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 3,780,300 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. At December 31, 2023, there were 0 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, excluding 13,800,000 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were 0 and 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its stockholders.

The Class B common stock was to automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities had been issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares would have equaled, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion, including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares would have never occurred on a less than one-for-one basis.

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 following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart the Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”). 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

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 condensed 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 had $184,174 and $790,318 in unrestricted cash and no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Cash - Restricted

Cash - Restricted

Cash that is encumbered or otherwise restricted as to its use is included in cash – restricted. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance was $134,246 and $0, respectively. Cash – restricted at September 30, 2024 represents cash that was withdrawn from the Trust Account to pay franchise taxes but is yet to be utilized at the end of the period.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills, respectively. The Company accounts for its marketable securities as trading securities under ASC 320, where securities are presented at fair value on the condensed balance sheets and with unrealized gains or losses, if any, presented on the statements of operations. From inception through September 30, 2024, the Company withdrew $2,582,353 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for the Company’s franchise and income taxes.

Offering Costs

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

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. US 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). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Warrants

Warrants

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 and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, 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. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statement of operations. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at its assigned fair value and the warrants do not require remeasurement after issuance.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company’s common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies public common stock subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The public common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering is issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of public common stock classified as temporary equity is allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as it occurs and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock will result in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the redeemable common stock reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset of $416,566 and $216,293, respectively, had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 32.03% and 23.54%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 24.97% and 25.93%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, due to the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets, fines and penalties, and merger & acquisitions deal costs.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s condensed financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. 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 Per Common Share

Net Income Per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as calculated using the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 8,860,000 shares of Class A common stock. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share since the inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive. The Warrants cannot be converted to shares of Class A common stock prior to an initial Business Combination; therefore, they have been classified as anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Working Capital Loan (see Note 5) is convertible, at the lender’s option, into Units consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one Warrant (see Note 4). Because the conversion feature cannot be exercised until the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the underlying Units are also considered anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share.

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has two classes of common shares, Class A common shares and Class B common shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, earnings were adjusted for the effects of the excess cash received over the fair value of the Placement Warrants, and allocated pro rata between the two classes of common shares. The deemed dividend to Class A stockholders was allocated to the Class A shares as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit 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 account.

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 condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
