DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

 

AlphaVest Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 14, 2022. 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 “Business Combination”).

 

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 14, 2022 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Registration Statement”) was declared effective on December 19, 2022. On December 22, 2022, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 units, (“Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000, which is described in Note 3, and the sale of 390,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in private placements to AlphaVest Holding LP (the “Sponsor”) that was closed simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 22, 2022, an amount of $61,200,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined in Note 4) was placed in the Trust Account. The funds held in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

 

On December 29, 2022, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 900,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $9,000,000. In connection with EBC’s full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 40,500 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $405,000.

 

As of September 30, 2023, transaction costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $3,734,629 consisting of $1,725,000 of underwriting fees, $629,929 of other offering costs, and $1,425,000 to trust account. These costs were charged to additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit to the extent additional paid-in capital is fully depleted upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $10.20 per Unit sold in the Proposed Public Offering, including proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units, will be held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.

 

 

The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable).

 

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 shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in 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., rights), the initial carrying value of common stock classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The 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 the immediate fair value recognition method. The accretion will be treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital). While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

 

The Company will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that it does not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to the Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Proposed Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

 

 

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 Trust account and not previously released to pay taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.

 

The Company will have until 12 months (or 18 months if the Company extends the period) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of 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 and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it will receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Proposed Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

 

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.20 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share, due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Proposed Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

 

Proposed Business Combination

 

On August 11, 2023, AlphaVest Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Island exempted company (prior to the Merger Effective Date), “the Company” and, at and after the Merger Effective Date, “PubCo”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with AV Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Wanshun Technology Industrial Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Wanshun”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Wanshun will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Wanshun, with Wanshun surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger,” and together with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements contemplated thereby, the “Transactions”).

 

On the Merger Effective Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Wanshun or any shareholders of Wanshun (“Wanshun Shareholders”), (i) every issued and outstanding ordinary share of Wanshun (each, a “Company Ordinary Share”), other than Dissenting Company Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and treasury shares owned by Wanshun, shall be exchanged into such number of ordinary shares of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) equal to $300,000,000 (less any amounts properly owned to holders of dissenting Company Ordinary Shares) divided by $10.00 and divided by the number of Company Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Date; (ii) if there are any issued shares of Wanshun owned by Wanshun as treasury shares, such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; (iii) all ordinary shares of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Date shall be converted into an equal number of Company Ordinary Shares, as the surviving company after the Merger.

 

At the Closing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), 400,000,000 additional PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Escrowed Earnout Shares”) will be issued to the Wanshun Shareholders and placed in an escrow account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), for the benefit of such Wanshun Shareholders, pursuant to an escrow agreement among PubCo, Continental and Mr. Zhou Zhengqing, as the representative of the Wanshun Shareholders. Each Wanshun Shareholder (other than dissenting Wanshun shareholders) shall be shown as the registered owner of its pro rata portion (the “Pro Rata Portion”) of the Escrowed Earnout Shares on the books and records of PubCo and shall be entitled to exercise voting rights and all share rights with respect to such Escrowed Earnout Shares. The Wanshun Shareholders shall each be entitled to receive their Pro Rata Portion of the Escrowed Earnout Shares as follows: (a) in the event Wanshun’s revenue (reported on the top line of Wanshun’s profit and loss statement) (i) for the period from January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023 reflected in Wanshun’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023 and (ii) for the period from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 reflected in Wanshun’s reviewed consolidated financial statements is, in the aggregate, equal to or greater than RMB 4,500,000,000 (the “Revenue Target”), the Escrowed Earnout Shares will be released from the Earnout Escrow Account to the Wanshun Shareholders on the later of January 31, 2024 and the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Earnout Release Date”), and (b) if during the period from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement or the Closing Date (the “Interim Period”), Wanshun obtains transaction financing in the aggregate amount of at least $215,000,000, in the form of firm written commitments from investors recognized and accepted by the Company or in the form of no less than $107,500,000 good faith deposit made by investors for a private placement of equity, debt or other alternative financing to the Company, each Wanshun Shareholder (other than holders of Dissenting Company Shares) shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of the Earnout Shares on the Closing Date, regardless of whether the Revenue Target is achieved.

 

For additional information regarding the Transactions, the Business Combination Agreement and Wanshun, see the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on August 14, 2023 and August 17, 2023.

 

Going Concern Consideration and Management Liquidity Plans

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $57,843 and working capital of $29,296. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company expects that it will need additional capital to satisfy its needs for paying these costs. Although certain of the Company’s initial shareholders or their affiliates may loan the Company funds, there’s no guarantee that the Company will receive such funds. On August 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Wanshun Technology Industrial Group Limited, but the Company cannot provide any assurance that its plan to consummate an initial Business Combination within the relevant period will be successful.

 

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 Company will not have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or one year from the issuance date of this financial statements. There is no assurance that the Company’s plan to consummate a business combination will be successful. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the relevant period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

 

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
