We are a blank check company incorporated on July 12, 2021, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar combination with one or more businesses or assets, which we refer to throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K as our initial business combination. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities and activities related to the search for a target business for our initial business combination. We have generated no revenues to date, and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues at the earliest until we consummate our initial business combination. We announced in October 2024 that we had signed a non-binding letter-of-intent (“LOI”) for a business combination with Kneron Holding Corporation (“Kneron”), a leading provider of full stack edge artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions based in San Diego, California, as well as a non-binding LOI for a business combination with a company in the hospitality software as a service/platform space. While both of these LOIs have expired, we have moved to the next phase of actively negotiating the terms of a binding business combination agreement with Kneron. On October 11, 2023, we consummated our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 ( “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Public Warrant”), with each Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, beginning 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. We granted Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as representative of the underwriters (“Cantor”), a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments. Subsequently, On October 10, 2023, Cantor informed the Company that it will not be exercising the over-allotment option. As a result, SLG SPAC Fund LLC (the “Sponsor”) forfeited an aggregate of 448,052 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”). Such forfeited shares were cancelled by the Company prior to the consummation of the IPO. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) with the Sponsor, who purchased 8,490,535 warrants (the “Private Warrants”), generating total proceeds of $8,490,535. The terms of the Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, for so long as the Private Warrants are held by the Sponsor or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants (i) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, and (ii) are entitled to registration rights. The Private Warrants will be worthless if the Company does not complete an initial business combination. A total of $100,500,000 ($10.05 per Unit, which amount includes $3,500,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO and the Private Placement on October 11, 2023 was placed in a trust account maintained for the benefit of the public shareholders at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as a trustee.…
