Founder Shares

In May 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 of deferred offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for 3,750,000 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On December 14, 2021, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 511,250 Founder Shares, which the Company cancelled. On December 14, 2021, an aggregate of 355,000 shares of Class B common stock were issued to A.G.P. (the “Representative”), resulting in an aggregate of 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. On January 12, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 176,094 Founder Shares to George Syllantavos, and 28,750 Founder Shares to Anastasios Chrysostomidis. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 14,375,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option were exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and no Founder Shares were forfeited.

On February 27, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Class A common stock to the Sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Class B common stock, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock. These shares of class A common stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B common stock before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the initial public offering. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B common stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Class A common stock to certain members of the Sponsor. Subsequent to those transfers, the Sponsor holds 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B common stock, as well as 653,750 shares of Class A common stock underlying private placement units, which units were acquired by the Sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.

Following the redemptions and the conversion of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, there are currently 153,295 public shares outstanding and a total of 4,400,794 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B Common stock are outstanding, including the 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and the one share of Class B common stock that are beneficially owned by the Sponsor.

The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On July 2, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2022 or the completion of the IPO. The outstanding balance under the promissory note of $208,563 was paid in full and as a result, the credit facility is no longer available.

On August 10, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note to SVES LLC under which SVES LLC agreed to extend to the Company $300,000 for working capital purposes (“SVES Note”). The SVES Note is non-interest bearing and payable at the closing of the Business Combination. In the event the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not consummated, the SVES Note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the payee.

On February 13, 2024, the Company borrowed $3,541.50 from SVES, which amount was deposited into the Company’s Trust Account on that day in connection with an extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination.

Under the terms of the SVES Note, SVES (or its affiliates or permitted designees) shall deposit $3,541.50 per month (approximately $0.056 per public share that is not redeemed) into the Company’s trust account for each calendar month (commencing on February 15, 2024 and ending on the 15th day of each subsequent month) until February 15, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $42,498.

On May 15, 2024, the Company and SVES mutually terminated the SVES Business Combination Agreement. As part of the termination the SVES Note was declared null and void.

The Mazaii note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Mazaii note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder. The exclusivity period of the LOI expired on September 12, 2024 by which time both parties had chosen to not proceed. As a result, the Mazaii Note became null and void. Accordingly, all debt proceeds received under the Mazaii Note, or $249,985, was recognized as a gain from the extinguishment of this promissory note.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted) at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such working capital loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Administrative Service Fee

The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO pursuant to which the Company will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month, for up to 18 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred and paid $120,000 of administrative service fees. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $120,000 of administrative service fees, all of which were fully paid.
