Founder shares
On June 14, 2024, the Company’s CEO, Mr. William W. Snyder, the Company’s CFO, Ms. Jia Peng, and the sponsor, Aitefund Sponsor LLC, acquired an aggregate of 1,725,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 (the “founder shares”) from the Company, of which: (i) the CEO acquired 100,000 founder shares for a purchase price of $1,449 or approximately $0.014 per share; (ii) the CFO acquired 60,000 founder shares for a purchase price of $870, or approximately $0.014 per share; and (iii) the Sponsor acquired 1,565,000 founder shares for a purchase price of $22,681, or approximately $0.014 per share. On July 9, 2024, the Company issued an additional 431,250 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor, at par value, for the purchase price of $43. In total, an aggregate 2,156,250 Class B ordinary shares were issued to the Sponsor and executives, at a per-share price of approximately $0.012 per share, including an aggregate of up to 281,250 Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters. On December 6, 2024, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option for an additional 1,125,000 Units, reducing the Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture to 0. Concurrent with the IPO, the sponsor transferred an aggregate of 60,000 of its Founder Shares, or 20,000 each to its three independent directors for their board service, for nominal cash consideration, of $696. The fair value of the transfer of the 60,000 Founder Shares accounted for as compensation under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). The estimated fair value of the 60,000 Founder Shares totaled $54,450. On December 6, 2024, the Company recognized a share-based compensation expense of $53,754, net of the nominal cash consideration of $696 paid by the directors.

The insiders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the founder shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until (1) with respect to 50% of the founder shares, the earlier of six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Company’s initial business combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the founder shares, six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the Company’s initial business combination, the Company consummate a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
