Description of Organization and Business Operations | Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations Energem Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 6, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue a business combination target in any business or industry, it intends to focus on opportunities across the oil and gas and other potential renewable energy business, as well as other adjacent services, industrials and technologies, while remaining opportunistic across the energy value chain, including select opportunities within the traditional power generation and energy production verticals, which complements the expertise of its management team. The Financing As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 6, 2021 through March 31, 2023, relates to the Company’s formation and the Offering (as defined below). 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 Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor is Energem LLC, a Cayman Island limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 15, 2021. On November 16, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, and incurring offering costs of $8,304,871, of which $4,025,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 6) at the Initial Public Offering closing occurring on November 18, 2021. The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments. Simultaneously with the consummation of the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 475,575 units (the “Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $4,755,750 (the “Private Placement”) (see Note 4). On November 18, 2021, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,500,000 Units pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $15,000,000. Also, in connection with the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 52,500 Placement Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit generating total Private Placement proceeds of $5,280,750. A total of $116,725,000, comprised of the proceeds from the IPO and the proceeds of private placements that closed on November 18, net of the underwriting commissions, discounts, and offering expenses, was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which 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, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $1,002,730 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account available for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2023, we have available to us $19,338 of cash on our balance sheet and a working capital deficit of $741,134. ENERGEM CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (Continued) Trust Account 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 Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement to enter a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-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. 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 an amount equal to at least $10.15 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including proceeds of the Placement Units, will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States and invested only 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 selected by the Company meeting certain 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 and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below. Shareholder Approval If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its founder shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Certificate of Incorporation will provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company. The holders of the founder shares have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the founder shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its 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-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. ENERGEM CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Share Purchase Agreement On August 1, 2022, the Company, entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Graphjet Technology Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian private limited company, Swee Guan Hoo, in his capacity as the representative for the shareholders of Energem after the closing of the sale and purchase of the Graphjet Shares (the “Closing”) for Energem’s shareholders (the “Purchaser Representative”), the individuals listed on the signature page of the Share Purchase Agreement under the heading “Selling Shareholders” (each, a “Selling Shareholder” and together, the “Selling Shareholders”), and Lee Ping Wei solely in his capacity as representative for the Selling Shareholders (the “Shareholder Representative”). Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions therein, Energem will purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Graphjet for Graphjet Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Consideration Shares”) such that Graphjet will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energem (the “Business Combination”). The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties thereto and the Closing is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Share Purchase Agreement. Graphjet converts palm kernel shells to essential raw materials such as graphene and graphite used to produce batteries in the electric vehicle space among other products. The aggregate value of the Consideration Shares to be paid pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement to the Selling Shareholders, as of immediately prior to the Closing, for the purchase of all issued and outstanding Graphjet Shares, shall be that number of Energem Class A ordinary shares equal to (i) One Billion Three Hundred and Eighty Million U.S. Dollars ($1,380,000,000), minus (ii) the amount, if any, by which $30,000 (i.e., the target net working capital amount) exceeds the Net Working Capital Amount (but not less than zero) (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement), minus (iii) the Closing Net Indebtedness amount (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement), minus (iv) the amount of any Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement), divided by ten dollars ($10.00). Each Selling Shareholder shall receive a number of Energem Class A ordinary shares equal to the aggregate Consideration Shares divided by the number of Graphjet Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, multiplied by the number of Graphjet Shares held by such Selling Shareholder (the “Conversion Ratio”). The total consideration payable to the Selling Shareholders in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement is also referred to herein as the “Transaction Consideration”. Charter Amendment and Termination Date On November 16, 2022, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of its pursuant to due notice (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). At the Extraordinary General Meeting, Company shareholders entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting cast their votes and approved the Trust Amendment Proposal, pursuant to which the Trust Agreement was amended to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with the IPO if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from November 18, 2022 to August 18, 2023. The shareholders of the Company approved the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company at the November 16, 2022, Extraordinary General Meeting, giving the Company the right to extend the date by which the Company must (i) consummate a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “business combination”), (ii) cease its operations if it fails to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s IPO that closed on November 18, 2021 from November 18, 2022 (the “Termination Date”) by up to nine (9) one-month extensions to August 18, 2023 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). In connection with the voting on the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of 9,604,519 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.21 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $98,062,139. Following the payment of the redemptions, the Trust Account had a balance of approximately $20,172,591 as of March 31, 2023. The holders of the founder shares have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the founder shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the holders of founder shares acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, 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. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00). The Company will have until August 18, 2023 in connection to the Extension Amendment Proposal to consummate a Business Combination. In connection with approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Company caused $0.045 per outstanding share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, giving effect to the redemptions disclosed above, or approximately $85,296.65 for the remaining 1,895,481 Class A ordinary shares to be deposited in the Trust Account in connection with the exercise of the first monthly extension of the Extended Date on November 17, 2022 in advance of the November 18, 2022 due date. In connection with the third monthly extension of the Termination Date, the Company caused $0.045 per outstanding share of Energem’s Class A ordinary shares or approximately $85,297 for 1,895,481 Class A ordinary shares to be paid to the Trust Account on January 13, 2023, in advance of the January 18, 2023 due date. In connection with the fourth monthly extension of the Termination Date, the Company caused $0.045 per outstanding share of Energem’s Class A ordinary shares or approximately $85,297 for 1,895,481 Class A ordinary shares to be paid to the Trust Account on February 10, 2023, in advance of the February 18, 2023 due date. In connection with the fifth monthly extension of the Termination Date, the Company caused $0.045 per outstanding share of Energem’s Class A ordinary shares or approximately $85,297 for 1,895,481 Class A ordinary shares to be paid to the Trust Account on March 10, 2023, in advance of the March 18, 2023 due date to extend the period to consummate the period to complete a business combination to April 18, 2023. In connection with the sixth monthly extension of the Termination Date, the Company caused $0.045 per outstanding share of Energem’s Class A ordinary shares or approximately $85,297 for 1,895,481 Class A ordinary shares to be paid to the Trust Account on April 10, 2023, in advance of the April 18, 2023 due date to extend the period to consummate the period to complete a business combination to May 18, 2023. ENERGEM CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (Continued) In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party 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 (i) $10.15 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, if less than $10.15 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as 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 the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, if an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $19,338 of cash in its operating bank account. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on the Company’s behalf in exchange for issuance of Founder shares (as defined in Note 4). After the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). As of March 31, 2023, there are $209,682 outstanding for Working Capital Loan. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial Business Combination. The units would be identical to the placement units. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the placement units and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that if we are unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to consummate a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the Termination Date. Going Concern Consideration The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. 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 has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Following the payment of the redemptions, the Trust Account had a balance of approximately $19,535,946 as of December 31, 2022. As of March 23, 2023, following the receipt of extension payments and interest, the Trust Account had a balance of approximately of $20,011,014.13. The holders of the founder shares have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the founder shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the holders of founder shares acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, 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. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00). ENERGEM CORP. NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (Continued) In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party 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 (i) $10.10 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, if less than $10.10 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as 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 the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, if an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $47,789 of cash in its operating bank account. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on the Company’s behalf in exchange for issuance of Founder shares (as defined in Note 4). After the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, to finance transaction costs in connection with a 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, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4). As of December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this period, the Company will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account 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. Going Concern Consideration The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that if we are unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs as well as complete a Business Combination by August 18, 2023, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to consummate a Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after August 18, 2023. ENERGEM CORP. NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
