FOCUS IMPACT ACQUISITION CORP.
MARCH 31, 2024
Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations
Organization and General
Focus Impact Acquisition Corp. (the “Company" or "FIAC”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on February 23, 2021. The Company was formed 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 “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 23, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to
the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) (as defined below), and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective and consummation of an Initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating
revenues until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
Sponsor and Financing
The Company’s sponsor is Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on October 27, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On November 1, 2021, the Company consummated its
IPO of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”) which included the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A
common stock”), and of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof
to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00
per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 , which is discussed in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of IPO the Company completed the private sale of 11,200,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00
per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $11,200,000 .
Upon the closing of the IPO (including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) and the private placement, $234,600,000 has been placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), representing the redemption value of the Class A common stock sold in the IPO, at
their redemption value of $10.20 per share.
Nasdaq rules provide that the Initial Business Combination must be with one
or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the value of the assets held in the Trust
Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement in connection with the Initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete an Initial
Business Combination if the post-Initial Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities
of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.
Upon the closing of the IPO, $10.20 per Unit sold in the
IPO (including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) and the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, are held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be invested only in U.S. government securities with
a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The trust account is intended as a holding place
for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the Initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Company’s Class A common stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination or
to redeem 100 % of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination by June 1, 2024, which
can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding in the Trust Account) or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to the rights of holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public
shares if the Company has not consummated the Initial Business Combination by June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding in the Trust Account) subject to applicable law.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock upon the completion of the
Initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a
proposed Initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in the Company’s discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the
transaction would require the Company to seek stockholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirement. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination
including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations. The amount in
the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be approximately $10.20 per public share. All of the Public Shares contain a redemption
feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with an Initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments
to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require
common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A common stock classified
as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Class A common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to
either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii)
recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately.
The accretion or remeasurement will be treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital). The Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the
balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place. In such case, the Company will proceed with an Initial Business Combination, and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted
are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination.
The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Company will have until the Termination Date (as defined below) to complete the
Initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but
not more than business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining
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, officers and directors entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to
any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination and a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) that would
modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of shares of Class A common stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination by June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November
1, 2024 (with required funding in the Trust Account) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Company’s Class A commons stock and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust
account with respect to any founder shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination by June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding in the Trust Account) (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 prescribed time frame). Further, the Company has agreed not to
enter into a definitive agreement regarding an Initial Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor. If the Company submits the Initial Business Combination to the Company’s public stockholders for a vote, the Company will complete
the Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted 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 vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by a
prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.20 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the
trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek
access to the trust account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver
is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy
its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. None of the Company’s officers will indemnify the Company
for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Extension of Combination Period
On April 25, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Extension Meeting”) to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation to (i) extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from May 1, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to August 1, 2023 (the “Charter Extension Date”) and to allow
the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an Initial Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month
each time after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days ’
advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until May 1, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Original
Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s Initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior to such date (such amendment, the “Extension Amendment” and such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (ii) remove the
limitation that the Company may not redeem shares of public stock 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,
as amended, of less than $5,000,000 (such amendment, the “Redemption Limitation Amendment” and such proposal, the “Redemption Limitation
Amendment Proposal”). The shareholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Extension Meeting and on April 26, 2023, the Company filed the Extension Amendment and the
Redemption Limitation Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the holders of
As disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed that if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, it or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees (the “Lender”) will contribute to the Company as a loan, within ten (
On December 29, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”) to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation to extend the Termination Date from January 1, 2024 to April 1, 2024 (the “Second Charter Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an Initial
Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to seven times by an additional one month each time after the Second Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days ’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until November 1, 2024, or a total of up to ten months after January 1, 2024, unless the closing of the Company’s Initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior to such date (such
amendment, the “Second Extension Amendment” and such proposal, the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”). The stockholders of the Company approved the Second Extension Amendment Proposal at the Second Extension Meeting and on December 29, 2023,
the Company filed the Second Extension Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
In connection with the vote to approve the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 3,985,213 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.95 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $43,640,022 .
As disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the Second Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed that if the Second Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Lender
would deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of (a) $120,000 and (b) $0.06 per public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension Meeting. In addition, in the event the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by
April 1, 2024, the Lender may contribute to the Company the lesser of (a) $40,000 or (b) $0.02 per each public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension Meeting as a loan to be deposited into the Trust Account for each of seven one-month extensions following
April 1, 2024. Because the Second Extension Amendment Proposal was approved, the Sponsor deposited $103,055 into the Trust Account, and
the Termination Date was extended to April 1, 2024. In each of March 2024 and April 2024, the Sponsor deposited $34,352
At December 31, 2023, the Company had $75,773 of restricted cash related to funds withdrawn from the Trust Account reserved to the payment of taxes. On March 27, 2024, the Company
transferred $75,773 to the Trust Account related to excess funds withdrawn and the timing of the payment of taxes and no longer has
restricted cash.

In connection with the extension of the Termination Date, on December 1, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal
amount of up to $1,500,000 (the “Second Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor and the Sponsor funded deposits into the Trust Account. The
Second Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination, the Second Promissory Note will be repaid only
from amounts remaining outside of the trust account, if any. As of March 31, 2024, an aggregate of $650,000 has been drawn under the

(“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires a minimum of 400

shares of the company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”) to shares of Class A common stock.
Notwithstanding the conversions, the Sponsor will not be entitled to receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion of the Class B common stock. The converted
shares of Class A common stock hold no interest in the Trust Account and are non-redeemable. Following such conversion and taking into

RSUs”), respectively, in an amount equal to the Company Shares underlying such Company Option or Company RSU, respectively, multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (as defined below, and, for Company Options, at an adjusted exercise
price equal to the exercise price for such Company Option prior to the Effective Time divided by the Common Conversion Ratio), (iii) each warrant exercisable for Company Shares (a “Company Warrant”) issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall become exercisable for New PubCo Common Shares in an amount equal to the Company Shares underlying such Company Warrant multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (and at an adjusted exercise price equal
to the exercise price for such Company Warrant prior to the Effective Time divided by the Common Conversion Ratio), (iv) each holder of convertible notes to be issued by DevvStream (the “Company Convertible Notes”), if any, issued and

agreed to vote any Company Shares held by him, her or it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the arrangement resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and warranties and covenants related
to the foregoing, and (ii) each of the Core Company Securityholders has agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to DevvStream securities prior to the Effective Time and lock-up restrictions with respect to the New PubCo
Common Shares to be received by such Core Company Securityholder under the Business Combination Agreement, which lock-up restrictions are consistent with those agreed to by the sponsor in the Sponsor Side Letter.

Consideration
The aggregate consideration to be paid to DevvStream shareholders and securityholders is that number of New PubCo Common
Shares (or, with respect to Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants, a number of Converted Options, Converted RSUs and Converted Warrants consistent with the aforementioned conversion mechanics) equal to (a) (i) $145 million plus (ii) the aggregate exercise price of all in-the-money options and warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time (or exercised in

Pursuant

The “Amended Common Amalgamation Consideration” means, with respect to the Company Shares, Company Options

Source” means a person engaged by DevvStream after the date of the First Amendment to act as an investment bank, financial advisor, broker or similar advisor in connection with any financing which has been approved by FIAC in accordance
with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (an “Approved Financing”). The “Reverse Split Factor” means an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Final Company Share Price by $0.6316 and (b) one. The “Final Company Share Price” means the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the Cboe Canada stock

to the Closing on which there is such a closing price), converted into United States dollars based on the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate on the last business day prior to the Closing. The “Adjusted Exercise Price” means $11.50 multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants
immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock purchasable immediately thereafter.
Sponsor Side Letter
In connection with signing the Business Combination Agreement, FIAC and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement, dated

shares effective as of the consummation of the Continuance at the closing of the Proposed Transactions and (ii) with FIAC Sponsor’s consent, up to 30 %
of its SPAC Class B Shares and/or Private Placement Warrants in connection with financing or non-redemption arrangements, if any, entered into prior to consummation of the Business Combination if any, negotiated by the Effective Date. Pursuant to
the Sponsor Side Letter, the Sponsor also agreed to (1) certain transfer restrictions with respect to FIAC securities, lock-up restrictions (terminating upon the earlier of: (A) 360 days after the Closing Date, (B) a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New PubCo’s stockholders
having the right to exchange their equity for cash, securities or other property or (C) subsequent to the Closing Date, the closing price of the New Pubco Common Shares equaling or exceeding $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at

Side Letter (the “Sponsor Side Letter Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed and acknowledged that (i) each share of Class B common stock (other than those subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter)
shall convert only into a number of New PubCo Common Shares (and not any other FIAC shares prior to such automatic conversion) equal to the Reverse Split Factor and (ii) that each Private Placement Warrant shall only convert into the right to
exercise such warrants for New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Reverse Split Factor. No fractional shares shall be issued and the total number of New PubCo Common Shares to be received by the Sponsor shall be rounded down to the nearest whole
share after aggregating all New PubCo Common Shares held by the Sponsor. As a third-party beneficiary of the Sponsor Side Letter, DevvStream consented in all respects to the Sponsor Side Letter Amendment.
Company Support & Lock-up Agreement
In connection with signing the Business Combination Agreement, Devvstream, FIAC and the Core Company Securityholders entered
into the Company Support Agreements, dated September 12, 2023, pursuant to which (i) each of the Core Company Securityholders agreed to vote any Company Shares held by him, her or it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the arrangement
resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and warranties and covenants related to the foregoing, and (ii) each of the Core Company Securityholders has agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to
DevvStream securities prior to the Effective Time and lock-up restrictions with respect to the New PubCo Common Shares to be received by such Core Company Securityholder under the Business Combination Agreement, which lock-up restrictions are
consistent with those agreed to by the Sponsor in the Sponsor Side Letter.
Registration Rights Agreement
At the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the FIAC, the sponsor, and certain existing holders of
Devvstream securities (the “Legacy Devvstream Holders”) will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Legacy Devvstream Holders and the
sponsor will be granted customary registration rights with respect to shares of the post-Business Combination company.
For additional information about the Business Combination, please refer to our registration statement on Form S-4 initially
filed with the SEC on December 4, 2023, as amended from time to time.
Financial and Capital Market Advisors
The Company has engaged J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, acting

of debt, equity, equity-linked or convertible securities (the “Securities”) or other capital or debt raising transaction in connection with the Business Combination (the “Offering”, and, together with the Business Combination, each a
“Transaction” and collectively the “Transactions”).
The Company will pay CCM the sum of (i) an advisory fee in an
amount equal to $2,500,000 simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Advisory Fee”) plus (ii) a transaction fee
in connection with the Offering of an amount equal to 4.0 % of the sum of (A) the gross proceeds raised from investors and received by
Company or DevvStream simultaneously with or before the closing of the Offering and (B) the proceeds released from the Trust Account in connection with the Business Combination with respect to any stockholder of the Company that (x) entered into
a non-redemption or other similar agreement or (y) did not redeem the Company’s common stock, in each instance to the extent such stockholder was identified to the Company by CCM (collectively, the “Offering Fee” and together with the Advisory
Fee, the “Transaction Fee”); provided, however, CCM shall receive no fee for any gross proceeds received from, or non-redemptions obtained from any investors holding capital stock of DevvStream (other than any investor who acquired their capital
stock of DevvStream in open market activities). The Transaction Fee shall be payable to CCM simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction. In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, pay to CCM a discretionary fee in an amount up
to $500,000 (the “Discretionary Fee”), simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, if the Company determines in its
discretion and reasonable judgment that the performance of CCM in connection with its leadership role in connection with the Transaction warrants such additional fee, taking into account, without limitation, (a) timing of the Transaction, (b)
quality and delivery of services and advice hereunder, and (c) overall valuation attributable to the Transaction. No Advisory Fee,
Offering Fee or Discretionary Fee shall be due to CCM if the Company does not complete the Business Combination.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s results of operations and ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by
various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or
in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. The
Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and the Company’s ability to complete an Initial business
combination.
Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax
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.
On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the
application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same
taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to the excise tax. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of aspects of the
excise tax (including its application and operation with respect to SPACs) remain unclear and such interim operating rules are subject to change.
Because the application of this excise tax is not entirely clear, any redemption or other repurchase effected by the
Company, in connection with an Initial Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to this excise tax. Because any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, it could cause a reduction
in the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate an Initial Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to
the excise tax in connection with a business combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of the business combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the business
combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of any
subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Further, the application of the excise tax in respect of distributions pursuant to a liquidation of a publicly traded U.S. corporation is uncertain and has not
been addressed by the Treasury in regulations, and it is possible that the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be used to pay any excise tax owed by the Company in the event the Company is unable to complete a business combination in the
required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders in
connection with the Company’s liquidation would be reduced.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, Going Concern
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management believes that the funds which the Company has available following the completion of the IPO may not enable it to sustain
operations for a period of at least one-year from the issuance date of these financial statements. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company may not have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the earlier of the
consummation of the Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective Initial Business Combination
candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s 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 mandatory liquidation, working capital deficiency, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company
be unable to complete an Initial Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding in
the Trust Account) to consummate an Initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an Initial Business Combination by this time. If an Initial Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there
will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024
(with required funding in the Trust Account).
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete
presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 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.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain
exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm
attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory
vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial
accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The
Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can
adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth
company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ 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. As of March 31, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $41,577 and $224,394 , respectively, and no 0 and $75,773
of restricted cash related to funds withdrawn from the Trust Account reserved to the payment of taxes.
Cash Held in Trust Account
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, funds held in Trust Account consisted of interest bearing demand deposits and generally have a
readily determinable fair value. Interest on the demand deposit account is included in income from Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company was 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 the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each
reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received
in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with
measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how
market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation
adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2—Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or
similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Net (Loss) Income Per Common Stock
The Company has two classes of common stock, which are referred to as redeemable Class A common stock and non-redeemable Class A common stock
and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of stockholders. Private and public warrants to purchase 22,700,000
Class A common stock at $11.50 per share were issued on November 1, 2021. No As
a result, diluted net (loss) income per common stock is the same as basic net (loss) income per common stock for the periods. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from (loss) income per common stock as the
redemption value approximates fair value.

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 condensed
consolidated statement of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet date.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounted for the 22,700,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO and Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby
under that provision the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrant instrument as a liability at fair value and will adjust the instrument to fair
value at each reporting period. This liability will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of
operations. The fair value of privately-held warrants was estimated using an internal valuation model. Our valuation model utilized inputs such as assumed share prices, volatility, discount factors and other assumptions and may not be
reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period.
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 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective tax rate was (5.7 )% and 25.6 % for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and
2023, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21 21 % for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to Initial Business Combination expenses and New York State and City taxes.
While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow
for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the Company’s change in fair value of
warrants (or any other change in fair value of a complex financial instrument), the timing of any potential business combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a
position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able
to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and
allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income and associated income tax provision based
on actual results through March 31, 2024.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprise’s 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 no
The Company has identified the United States, New York State and New York City 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.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the
Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC
and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of
permanent equity. Therefore, all shares of Class A common stock have been classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common
stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
As
of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In August 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU
2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of
contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per
share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and the standard was applied on a full retrospective basis. There was no material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure
requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements
and disclosures.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a
material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - Initial Public Offering
On November 1, 2021, the Company sold 23,000,000
Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit which included the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments. Each Unit had an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one share of
Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and of one warrant of the Company. Each full Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
Following the closing of the IPO on November 1, 2021, $234,600,000
($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was
deposited into the Trust Account. The net proceeds deposited into the Trust Account will be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 180 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.
Public Warrants
Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one
whole share of the Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing on the later of twelve months from the closing of the IPO and 30
days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Initial
Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than business days after the closing of the Initial
Business Combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the
warrants, and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days
after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as
specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Company’s Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under
Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at the Company’s option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the
event the Company so elects, will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption
is not available. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60 th day after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to
maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but will use commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares
under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the lesser of (A) the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair
market value and (B) the product of 0.361 and the number of whole warrants being exercised by such holder. The “fair market value”
as used in this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on
the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by

Note 4 - Private Placement
On November 1, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 11,200,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00
per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $11,200,000 .
A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants has been added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not
complete an Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private
Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or
salable until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as
they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with
respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination and a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A)
that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of shares of Class A common stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination until June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding
in the Trust Account) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Company’s Class A commons stock and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any
founder shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination until June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding in the Trust Account) (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 prescribed time frame). Further, the Company has agreed not to enter into a definitive
agreement regarding an Initial Business Combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
The Sponsor paid $25,000 to the Company in consideration
for 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock.
The founder shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination on a one -for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 8.
Pursuant to the Sponsor
Side Letter, the Sponsor agreed to (1) certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Company's securities, lock-up restrictions (terminating upon the earlier of: (A) 360 days after the Closing Date, (B) a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New PubCo's stockholders
having the right to exchange their equity for cash, securities or other property or (C) subsequent to the Closing Date, the closing price of the New Pubco Common Shares equaling or exceeding $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at
least 150 days after the Closing) and (2) to vote any Company shares held by it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the
Arrangement Resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and warranties and covenants related to the foregoing.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an
affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, the
Company would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the Initial Business Combination
does not close, the Company 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 to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise
period. On May 9,
2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $1,500,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to
the Sponsor. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1,500,000
On December 1, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $1,500,000
(the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor. The Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination, the
Promissory Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $650,000
and $375,000 , respectively, was outstanding and reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of Promissory note
- related party.
Administrative Fees
The Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000
per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to the Company. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the
three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $30,000 270,000 and $240,000 , respectively, is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under due to related party for this fee.
Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common
stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the founder shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration
rights and stockholder agreement to be signed prior to the consummation of the IPO, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to the Class A common stock). The holders of
the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such
securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale
such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
Underwriter Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of approximately $0.376 per unit sold in the IPO, or $8,650,000 in the aggregate (including the fee related to the
underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option) upon the completion
of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. In the third quarter 2023, the underwriters waived any right to receive the deferred underwriting fee and will therefore receive no additional underwriting fee in connection with the Closing. As a
result, the Company recognized $309,534 of income and $8,340,466 was recorded to accumulated deficit in relation to the reduction of the deferred underwriting fee. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the deferred underwriting fee is $0
The
Company complies with ASC 405 “Liabilities” and derecognized the deferred underwriting fee liability upon being released of the obligation by the underwriters. To account for the waiver of the deferred underwriting fee, the Company reduced the
deferred underwriting fee liability to $0 and reversed the previously recorded cost of issuing the instruments in the IPO, which included
recognizing a contra-expense of $309,534 , which is the amount previously allocated to liability classified warrants and expensed upon the
IPO, and reduced the accumulated deficit and increased income available to Class B common stock by $8,650,000 , which was previously
allocated to the Class A common stock subject to redemption and accretion recognized at the IPO date.
Marketing Fee Agreement
The Company engaged advisors to assist the
Company in validating existing acquisition strategies and providing recommendations or potential amendments and refinements to said strategy. The fee structure is set as a minimum of $150,000 due upon an Initial Business Combination for advisory services. If the advisors provide lead information of a potential target company in an Initial Business Combination, the
Company will pay the advisors between $2,000,000 and $6,000,000 (“Advisory Fee”) upon successful close of the Initial Business Combination. The advisors did not provide lead information related to the proposed Business Combination. As such, if the proposed Business Combination is consummated, the advisors are
not due the Advisory Fee.
Excise Tax
In
connection with the extension meetings to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, holders of 21,282,422
shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate redemption amount of $223,500,610 .
As such, the Company has recorded a 1 2,235,006
This excise tax
liability can be offset by future share issuances within the same fiscal year which will be evaluated and adjusted in the period in which the issuances occur.
Note 7 - Recurring Fair Value Measurements
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, funds held in the Trust Account are held in an interest bearing demand
deposit account. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.
Under the guidance in ASC 815-40 the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification. As such, these financial instruments must be recorded on the
condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each re-measurement, these financial instruments valuations will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair
value recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The Company’s warrant liability for the Private Placement Warrants is based on valuation models utilizing inputs from observable and unobservable markets. The inputs
used to determine the fair value of the Private Warrant liability, is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s Public
Warrants are trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) and the Company’s Public Warrant liability was based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market (NASDAQ) for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to
access. The fair value of the Public Warrant liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s
Promissory Note contains an embedded option whereby up to $1,500,000 of the Promissory Note may be converted into the Company’s
warrants. The embedded Working Capital Loan conversion option is accounted for as a liability in accordance with ACS 815-40 on the balance sheet and is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value
presented within change in fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Valuation of the Working Capital Loan conversion option was derived from the valuation of the underlying Private Placement Warrants and is classified as
a level 3 valuation.
The following table
presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company
utilized to determine such fair value.

Note 8 - Stockholders’ Deficit
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share
with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At March
31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no
Class A Common Stock
On December 21, 2023, the Sponsor converted 5,000,000 shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common
stock. Notwithstanding the conversions, the Sponsor will not be entitled to receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion of the Class B common stock.
The
Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 5,000,000 1,717,578
Class B Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per
share. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each common stock. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 750,000
Other than with regard to the election of directors prior to the consummation of an Initial
Business Combination, holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, except as required by law.
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of an Initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder thereof, 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, are issued
or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of an Initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common
stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so
that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20 % of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the IPO plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed
issued in connection with an Initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in an Initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).
Note 9 - Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, require potential adjustment to or
disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements and did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on February 23, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or
similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”).
Our sponsor is Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on October 27, 2021. On November 1,
2021, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 23,000,000 Units, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase 3,000,000 units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit.
Simultaneously with the closing of Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 11,200,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the
Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $11,200,000.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $10.20 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) and the proceeds of the sale of the
Private Placement Warrants, are held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the Initial Business Combination, (b) the
redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A common
stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete the Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date or (ii) with respect to any
other provisions relating to the rights of holders of our Class A common stock, and (c) the redemption of our public shares if we have not consummated the Initial Business Combination by the Termination Date, subject to applicable law.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will have until the Termination Date to complete the Initial Business Combination. If we do not complete the Initial Business Combination by the
Termination Date, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal
to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any),
subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Extension of Combination Period
On April 25, 2023, we held the Extension Meeting to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) extend the Termination Date from the Original Termination Date to the Charter Extension Date and
to allow us, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an Initial Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Charter Extension Date, by
resolution of the our board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until May 1, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date, unless the
closing of our Initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior to such date and (ii) remove the limitation that we may not redeem shares of public stock to the extent that such redemption would result in us having net tangible assets (as
determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of less than $5,000,000. The shareholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal
at the Extension Meeting and on April 26, 2023, we filed the Extension Amendment and the Redemption Limitation Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, the holders of 17,297,209 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to
redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.40 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $179,860,588.
As disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed that if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, it or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees
will contribute to us as a loan, within ten (10) business days of the date of the Extension Meeting, of the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $487,500 or (b) $0.0975 per share that is not redeemed in connection with the Extension Meeting, to be
deposited into the Trust Account. In addition, in the event we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination by August 1, 2023, the Lender may contribute to us the lesser of (a) $162,500 or (b) $0.0325 per each share of public stock that is not
redeemed in connection with the Extension Meeting as a loan to be deposited into the Trust Account for each of nine one-month extensions following August 1, 2023. Because the Extension Amendment Proposal was approved, the Sponsor deposited $487,500
into the Trust Account, and the Termination Date was extended to August 1, 2023. From August 2023 through December 2023, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $812,500 into the Trust Account extending the Termination Date to January 1, 2024.
On December 29, 2023, we held the Second Extension Meeting to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) extend the Termination Date from January 1, 2024 to the Second Charter Extension Date
and to allow us, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an Initial Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to seven times by an additional one month each time after the Second Charter
Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until November 1, 2024, or a total of up to ten months after January 1,
2024, unless the closing of our Initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior to such date. Our stockholders approved the Second Extension Amendment Proposal at the Second Extension Meeting and on December 29, 2023, we filed the Second
Extension Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
In connection with the vote to approve the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 3,985,213 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption
price of approximately $10.95 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $43,640,022.
As disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the Second Extension Meeting, the Sponsor agreed that if the Second Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Lender would deposit into the Trust Account the lesser
of (a) $120,000 and (b) $0.06 per public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension Meeting. In addition, in the event the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by April 1, 2024, the Lender may
contribute to the Company the lesser of (a) $40,000 or (b) $0.02 per each public share that is not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension Meeting as a loan to be deposited into the Trust Account for each of seven one-month extensions
following April 1, 2024. Because the Second Extension Amendment Proposal was approved, the Sponsor deposited $103,055 into the Trust Account, and the Termination Date was extended to April 1, 2024. In each of March 2024 and April 2024, the Sponsor
deposited $34,352 into the Trust Account extending the Termination Date to June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding of the Trust Account).
On March 27, 2024, the Company transferred $75,773 to the Trust Account related to excess funds withdrawn and the timing of the payment of taxes. The excess withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account is reported on
the condensed consolidated balance sheet as restricted cash.
Promissory Notes
In association with the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, on May 9, 2023, we issued the Promissory Note to the Sponsor and the Sponsor funded deposits into the Trust Account. The Promissory Note does not
bear interest and matures upon closing of our Initial Business Combination. In the event that we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
Up to the total principal amount of the Promissory Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Lender into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement
Warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Initial Public Offering. As of March 31, 2024, an aggregate of $1,500,000 has been drawn under the Promissory Note.
In connection with the extension of the Termination Date, on December 1, 2023, the Company issued the Second Promissory Note to the Sponsor and the Sponsor funded deposits into the Trust Account. The Second
Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination, the Second Promissory Note will be repaid only from
amounts remaining outside of the trust account, if any. As of March 31, 2024, an aggregate of $650,000 has been drawn under the Second Promissory Note.
As of the date of this filing, the Company has deposited an aggregate of $1,471,758 into the Trust Account to extend the Termination Date to June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required
funding of the Trust Account).
Conversion of Class B common stock to Class A common stock
On December 21, 2023, the Sponsor, converted 5,000,000 shares of the company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”) to shares of Class A common stock. Notwithstanding the
conversions, the Sponsor will not be entitled to receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion of the Class B common stock. The converted shares of Class A common
stock hold no interest in the Trust Account and are non-redeemable. Following such conversion and taking into account the redemptions described above, we have an aggregate of 6,717,578 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding and an
aggregate of 750,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard
On October 16, 2023, the Company, received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in
compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires a minimum of 400 total holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”).
Based on the Company’s plan of compliance submitted to Nasdaq on November 17, 2023, Nasdaq granted the Company an extension until April 15, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. On April 12,
2024, the Company regained compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule.
Additionally, on December 21, 2023, the Sponsor, converted 5,000,000 shares of the company’s Class B common stock to Class A common stock. The converted shares of Class A common stock hold no interest in the Trust
Account and are non-redeemable.
Proposed Business Combination
On September 12, 2023, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement, by and among FIAC, Amalco Sub and DevvStream. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things FIAC will acquire DevvStream
for consideration of shares in FIAC following its continuance to the Province of Alberta (as further explained below). The terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing
conditions and other terms relating to the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below.
Structure of the Business Combination
The acquisition is structured as a continuance followed by an amalgamation transaction, resulting in the following:
(a) prior to the Effective Time, FIAC will continue from the State of Delaware under the DGCL to the Province of Alberta under the ABCA and change its name to DevvStream
Corp.
(b) following the FIAC Continuance, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan of Arrangement and the BCBCA, Amalco Sub and DevvStream will amalgamate
to form one corporate entity in accordance with the terms of the BCBCA, and as a result of the Amalgamation, (i) each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically exchanged for that certain
number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the applicable Per Common Share Amalgamation Consideration, (ii) each Company Option and Company RSU issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into
Converted Options and Converted RSUs, respectively, in an amount equal to the Company Shares underlying such Company Option or Company RSU, respectively, multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (and, for Company Options, at an adjusted exercise
price equal to the exercise price for such Company Option prior to the Effective Time divided by the Common Conversion Ratio), (iii) each Company Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become exercisable for
New PubCo Common Shares in an amount equal to the Company Shares underlying such Company Warrant multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (and at an adjusted exercise price equal to the exercise price for such Company Warrant prior to the
Effective Time divided by the Common Conversion Ratio), (iv) each holder of Company Convertible Notes, if any, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will first receive Company Shares and then New PubCo Common Shares in
accordance with the terms of such Company Convertible Notes and (v) each common share of Amalco Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically exchanged for one common share of Amalco.
(c) Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, FIAC and the Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Side Letter, pursuant to which, among other
things, the Sponsor agreed to forfeit (i) 10% of its founder shares effective as of the consummation of the FIAC Continuance at the closing of the Proposed Transactions and (ii) with the Sponsor’s consent, up to 30% of its founder shares and/or
Private Placement Warrants in connection with financing or non-redemption arrangements, if any, entered into prior to consummation of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter, the Sponsor also agreed to (1) certain transfer
restrictions with respect to our securities, lock-up restrictions (terminating upon the earlier of: (A) 360 days after the Closing Date, (B) a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in
all of New PubCo’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity for cash, securities or other property or (C) subsequent to the Closing Date, the closing price of the New Pubco Common Shares equaling or exceeding $12.00 per share (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing) and (2) to vote any FIAC shares held by it in favor
of the Business Combination Agreement, the arrangement resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and warranties and covenants related to the foregoing.
(d) In addition, contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, DevvStream, FIAC and each of Devvio, Inc., the majority and controlling
shareholder of DevvStream, and DevvStream’s directors and officers entered into the Company Support Agreements, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) each of the Core Company Securityholders agreed to vote any Company Shares held by him, her
or it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the arrangement resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and warranties and covenants related to the foregoing, and (ii) each of the Core Company
Securityholders has agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to DevvStream securities prior to the Effective Time and lock-up restrictions with respect to the New PubCo Common Shares to be received by such Core Company Securityholder
under the Business Combination Agreement, which lock-up restrictions are consistent with those agreed to by the Sponsor in the Sponsor Side Letter.
Consideration
The aggregate consideration to be paid to DevvStream shareholders and securityholders is that number of New PubCo Common Shares (or, with respect to Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants, a number of
Converted Options, Converted RSUs and Converted Warrants consistent with the aforementioned conversion mechanics) equal to (a) (i) $145 million plus (ii) the aggregate exercise price of all in-the-money options and warrants immediately prior to the
Effective Time (or exercised in cash prior to the Effective Time) divided by (b) $10.20 (the “Share Consideration”). The Share Consideration is allocated among DevvStream shareholders and securityholders as set forth in the Business
Combination Agreement.
Closing
The Closing will be on a date no later than two business days following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions. It is expected that the Closing will occur on or before June 12, 2024.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of (a) DevvStream and (b) FIAC and Amalco Sub relating to, among other things, their ability and authority to enter into
the Business Combination Agreement and their capitalization and operations.

|
Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement
On May 1, 2024, FIAC, Amalco Sub and DevvStream entered into Amendment No. 1 to the initial Business Combination Agreement, which amends the initial Business Combination Agreement. The First Amendment provides, among
other things, that:
| (i) |
Pursuant to the FIAC Continuance, (a) each issued and outstanding unit of FIAC, consisting of (I) one share of Class A common stock, and (II) one-half of one redeemable warrant exercisable for one share of
Class A Common Stock, that has not been previously separated into its component securities prior to the FIAC Continuance shall automatically convert into securities of New PubCo identical to (i) a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to
the Reverse Split Factor (as defined below) and (ii) a number of warrants to purchase one New PubCo Common Share equal to one-half (1/2) of the Reverse Split Factor at an exercise price equal to the Adjusted Exercise Price (as defined
below), (b) each issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock that has not been redeemed shall remain outstanding and automatically convert into a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Reverse Split Factor, (c) each issued
and outstanding share of Class B common stock, shall automatically convert into a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Reverse Split Factor or be forfeited in accordance with the Sponsor Side Letter, as amended, and (d) each
Public Warrant and Private Placement Warrant, will be assumed by New PubCo and automatically converted into the right to exercise such warrant for a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Reverse Split Factor at an exercise price
equal to the Adjusted Exercise Price. Any fractional shares or warrants to be issued pursuant to the FIAC Continuance will be rounded down to the nearest whole share or warrant; and
|
| (ii) |
Pursuant to the Amalgamation, New PubCo shall issue, and the holders of Company Shares collectively shall be entitled to receive a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to (a) the Amended Common
Amalgamation Consideration (as defined below), plus (b) solely to the extent any Multiple Voting Company Shares and Subordinated Voting Company Shares are required to be issued to Approved Financing Sources (as defined below) pursuant to
Approved Financings (as defined below) in connection with the Closing, a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to (i) each such Company Share multiplied by (ii) the Per Common Share Amalgamation Consideration (as defined below) in respect
of such Company Share.
|
The “Amended Common Amalgamation Consideration” means, with respect to the Company Shares, Company Options and Company Warrants, a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the product of (A) the Reverse Split
Factor, multiplied by (B) the Common Amalgamation Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, “Fully Diluted Common Shares Outstanding” shall not include any Subordinated Voting Company Shares to be issued (including pursuant to the exercise and
conversion of Company Warrants) to any Approved Financing Source pursuant to an Approved Financing. The “Approved Financing Source” means a person engaged by DevvStream after the date of the First Amendment to act as an investment bank, financial
advisor, broker or similar advisor in connection with any financing which has been approved by FIAC in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (an “Approved Financing”). The “Reverse Split Factor” means an amount equal to
the lesser of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Final Company Share Price by $0.6316 and (b) one. The “Final Company Share Price” means the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the Cboe Canada stock exchange, as of the
end of last trading day prior to the Closing (and if there is no such closing price on the last trading day prior to the Closing, the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the last trading day prior to the Closing on which
there is such a closing price), converted into United States dollars based on the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate on the last business day prior to the Closing. The “Adjusted Exercise Price” means $11.50 multiplied by a fraction (x) the
numerator of which is the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock purchasable immediately
thereafter.
Sponsor Side Letter
In connection with signing the Business Combination Agreement, FIAC and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement, dated September 12, 2023, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to forfeit (i) 10% of its founder
shares effective as of the consummation of the FIAC Continuance at the closing of the Proposed Transactions and (ii) with the Sponsor's consent, up to 30% of its founder shares and/or private placement warrants in connection with financing or
non-redemption arrangements, if any, entered into prior to consummation of the Business Combination if any, negotiated by the Effective Date. Pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter, the Sponsor also agreed to (1) certain transfer restrictions with
respect to our securities, lock-up restrictions (terminating upon the earlier of: (A) 360 days after the Closing Date, (B) a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New PubCo’s
stockholders having the right to exchange their equity for cash, securities or other property or (C) subsequent to the Closing Date, the closing price of the New Pubco Common Shares equaling or exceeding $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing) and (2) to vote any FIAC shares held by it in favor of the Business
Combination Agreement, the arrangement resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and warranties and covenants related to the foregoing.
Amendment No. 1 to the Sponsor Side Letter
Concurrently with the execution of the First Amendment, FIAC and the Sponsor entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Sponsor Side Letter, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed and acknowledged that
(i) each share of Class B common stock (other than those subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter) shall convert only into a number of New PubCo Common Shares (and not any other FIAC shares prior to such automatic conversion) equal
to the Reverse Split Factor and (ii) that each Private Placement Warrant shall only convert into the right to exercise such warrants for New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Reverse Split Factor. No fractional shares shall be issued and the total
number of New PubCo Common Shares to be received by the Sponsor shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share after aggregating all New PubCo Common Shares held by the Sponsor. As a third-party beneficiary of the Sponsor Side Letter, DevvStream
consented in all respects to the Sponsor Side Letter Amendment.
Company Support & Lock-up Agreement
In connection with signing the Business Combination Agreement, Devvstream, FIAC and the Core Company Securityholders entered into the Company Support Agreements, dated September 12, 2023, pursuant to which (i) each
of the Core Company Securityholders agreed to vote any Company Shares held by him, her or it in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the arrangement resolution and the Proposed Transactions, and provided customary representations and
warranties and covenants related to the foregoing, and (ii) each of the Core Company Securityholders has agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to DevvStream securities prior to the Effective Time and lock-up restrictions with respect
to the New PubCo Common Shares to be received by such Core Company Securityholder under the Business Combination Agreement, which lock-up restrictions are consistent with those agreed to by the Sponsor in the Sponsor Side Letter.
Registration Rights Agreement
At the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the FIAC, the sponsor, and the Legacy Devvstream Holders will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which,
among other things, the Legacy Devvstream Holders and the sponsor will be granted customary registration rights with respect to shares of the post-Business Combination company.
Financial and Capital Market Advisors
The Company has engaged J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, acting through its Cohen & Company Capital Markets division, to act as its (i) its financial advisor and capital markets advisor in connection with the
Business Combination and (ii) its placement agent in connection with a private placement of debt, equity, equity-linked or convertible securities or other capital or debt raising transaction in connection with the Business Combination.
The Company will pay CCM the sum of (i) an advisory fee in an amount equal to $2,500,000 simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination plus (ii) a transaction fee in connection with the Offering of an
amount equal to 4.0% of the sum of (A) the gross proceeds raised from investors and received by Company or DevvStream simultaneously with or before the closing of the Offering and (B) the proceeds released from the Trust Account in connection with
the Business Combination with respect to any stockholder of the Company that (x) entered into a non-redemption or other similar agreement or (y) did not redeem the Company’s common stock, in each instance to the extent such stockholder was
identified to the Company by CCM; provided, however, CCM shall receive no fee for any gross proceeds received from, or non-redemptions obtained from any investors holding capital stock of DevvStream (other than any investor who acquired their
capital stock of DevvStream in open market activities). The Transaction Fee shall be payable to CCM simultaneously with the closing of the Transaction. In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, pay to CCM a discretionary fee in an
amount up to $500,000, simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, if the Company determines in its discretion and reasonable judgment that the performance of CCM in connection with its leadership role in connection with the
Transaction warrants such additional fee, taking into account, without limitation, (a) timing of the Transaction, (b) quality and delivery of services and advice hereunder, and (c) overall valuation attributable to the Transaction. No Advisory Fee,
Offering Fee or Discretionary Fee shall be due to CCM if the Company does not complete the Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern,” management believes that the funds which we have available following the completion of the Initial Public Offering may not enable it to sustain operations for a period of at least one-year from the issuance date of this financial
statement. Based on the foregoing, management believes that we may not have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period,
the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s 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 mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should we be unable to complete an Initial Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We
have until June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding of the Trust Account) to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate an Initial Business Combination by this time.
If an Initial Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to
liquidate after June 1, 2024, which can be extended to November 1, 2024 (with required funding of the Trust Account).
Risks and Uncertainties
Our results of operations and ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of
which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines
in consumer confidence and spending and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to
which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an Initial Business Combination.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”)
On August 16, 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 Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to
carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly traded U.S. corporation
completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to
the excise tax. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of aspects of the excise tax (including its application and operation with respect to SPACs) remain unclear and such interim
operating rules are subject to change.
Because the application of this excise tax is not entirely clear, any redemption or other repurchase effected by the Company, in connection with an Initial Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be
subject to this excise tax. Because any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate an
Initial Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a business combination will depend on a number of factors,
including (i) the structure of the business combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection
with the business combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Further, the
application of the excise tax in respect of distributions pursuant to a liquidation of a publicly traded U.S. corporation is uncertain and has not been addressed by the Treasury in regulations, and it is possible that the proceeds held in the Trust
Account could be used to pay any excise tax owed by the Company in the event the Company is unable to complete a business combination in the required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders in connection with the Company’s liquidation would be reduced.
Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2024, we have not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 23, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective and consummation of an Initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues
until after the completion of our Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. We expect
to incur increased 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 March 31, 2024, we had net loss of $2,234,269 resulting from operating costs of $1,687,227, the change in fair value of warrants of $681,000, and provision for income taxes of $121,281,
partially offset by interest income from operating account of $1,249 and trust earnings of $253,990.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of $1,522,559 resulting from interest income from operating account of $5,283 and $2,534,447 in trust earnings partially offset by $522,843 in provision
for income taxes and $494,328 in operating costs.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.
Administrative Services Agreement
We agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to us. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or our liquidation,
we will cease paying these monthly fees.
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private
Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and upon conversion of the founder shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights and stockholder agreement to be signed
prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to the Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities
are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the
completion of the Initial Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
Underwriter Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of approximately $0.376 per unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,650,000 in the aggregate (including the commission related to the
underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option) upon the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. In the third quarter 2023, the underwriters waived any right to receive the deferred underwriting fee and will therefore receive
no additional underwriting fee in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination. As a result, the Company recognized $309,534 of income and $8,340,466 was recorded to accumulated deficit in relation to the reduction of the deferred
underwriting fee. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the deferred underwriting fee is $0, respectively.
To account for the waiver of the deferred underwriting fee, the Company analogized to the SEC staff’s guidance on accounting for reducing a liability for “trailing fees”. Upon the waiver of the deferred underwriter
fee, the Company reduced the deferred underwriting fee liability to $0 and reversed the previously recorded cost of issuing the instruments in the Initial Public Offering, which included recognizing a contra-expense of $309,534, which is the amount
previously allocated to liability classified warrants and expensed upon the Initial Public Offering, and reduced the accumulated deficit and increased income available to Class B common stock by $8,650,000, which was previously allocated to the
Class A common stock subject to redemption and accretion recognized at the Initial Public Offering date.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Warrants
We account for the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision
the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, we classified the warrant instrument as a liability at fair value and will adjust the instrument to fair value at each reporting period.
This liability will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of warrants was estimated using an internal
valuation model. Our valuation model utilized inputs such as assumed share prices, volatility, discount factors and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject
to re-evaluation at each reporting period.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the period presented.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are
applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had
a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, 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 our 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.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
| Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures.
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the fiscal period ended March 31, 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 officer concluded that during the
period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the inadequate controls around account reconciliations and controls for the withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account. A material weakness, as defined
in the SEC regulations, is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
Management plans to remediate the material weakness by enhancing our control process around the withdrawals of funds from the Trust Account. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time,
and these initiatives may not ultimately have the intended effects.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings
|
To the knowledge of our management, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.
| Item 1A. |
Risk Factors
|
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with
the SEC on April 8, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report.
| Item 2. |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
