The Company will have until 18 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period and shareholders have not otherwise amended the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend this 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 the Company’s taxes, if any (less certain amount 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 to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Effective as of October 7, 2024, the Company notified the trustee of the Trust Account that it was extending the time to consummate an initial Business Combination from October 14, 2024 to January 14, 2025. Effective as of October 14, 2024, Shenzhen Qianzhi (as defined below) and EarlyBirdCapital, two designees of the Sponsors, loaned the Company an aggregate of $690,000, which funds were deposited into the Trust Account for such extension. The loans are evidenced by promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company to the designees. The Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the loans, one of the Sponsors transferred of its Founder Shares to EarlyBirdCapital.
On November 20, 2023, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Bowen Merger Sub (“Merger Sub”) was formed for the purpose of entering into a business combination agreement. See “Proposed Business Combination” below.
Proposed Business Combination
On January 18, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with (i) Bowen Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), (ii) Shenzhen Qianzhi BioTechnology Co. Ltd., a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China and a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (as defined below) (“Shenzhen Qianzhi”or “Qianzhi”), and (iii) Qianzhi Group Holding (Cayman) Limited, a newly formed Cayman Islands company (“NewCo,” and collectively with the Company, Merger Sub and Shenzhen Qianzhi, the “Parties”, each a “Party”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, at the closing of the business combination, Merger Sub will merge with and into NewCo (the “Merger”), with NewCo being the surviving company of the Merger (“Surviving Company”) and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In the Merger, the holders (the “NewCo Shareholders”) of the ordinary shares of NewCo (“NewCo Ordinary Shares”) will receive ordinary shares of the Company (“Parent Ordinary Shares”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of NewCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (a) Parent Ordinary Shares (the “Merger Shares”), and (b) the right to receive earnout consideration of up to an aggregate of Parent Ordinary Shares (the “Earnout Shares”).
Going Concern Consideration
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $271,847 and a working capital of $12,879. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a public traded company and to incur transaction costs in pursuit of a Business Combination. 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 these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and such period is not extended, there will be a liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
