Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

On November 24, 2021, the Company sold 8,625,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000 related to its IPO. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant (each a “Warrant”, and, collectively, the “Warrants”), and one right to receive one-tenth of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination. Each two redeemable warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share, and each ten rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share at the closing of a Business Combination. No fractional shares issued upon separation of the Units, and only whole Warrants will trade.

American Opportunities Growth Fund (the “Anchor Investor”), has purchased an aggregate of 400,000 units in the IPO, and the Company has agreed to direct the underwriters to sell to the Anchor Investor such number of units, subject to the Company’s satisfying the Nasdaq listing requirement.

The Anchor Investor is required to not redeem any of the public shares it acquires in the IPO. With respect to the ordinary shares underlying the units it may purchase in the IPO, upon the Company’s liquidation, the Anchor Investor will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account as the rights afforded to the public shareholders. In addition, the units (including the underlying securities) the Anchor Investor may purchase in the IPO will not be subject to any agreements restricting their transfer.
