The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Annual Report may include, for example, statements about:

•

our ability to complete the Proposed Business Combination (as defined herein) with the Target Companies (as defined herein);

•

pool of prospective target businesses if our transaction with the Target Companies is not successfully consummated;

the use of proceeds not held in the Trust Account or available to us from interest income on the Trust Account balance;

•

the Trust Account not being subject to claims of third parties; or

•

our financial performance.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors,” that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in the section titled “Risk Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect our ability to effect a business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, and may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

•

conflicts of interest of our Sponsors (as defined herein), officers and directors;

•

we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants;

•

if, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced;

•

impact of future pandemics and related risks;

•

if we effect our initial business combination with a company or companies with operations or opportunities outside of the United States, including the Proposed Business Combination, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations;

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Introduction

We are a blank check company incorporated on May 13, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “initial business combination”). We will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in our identification and acquisition of a target company.

The registration statement for our initial public offering (“IPO” or the “public offering”) was declared effective on December 6, 2021. On December 9, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 17,250,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 2,250,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $172,500,000.

On May 21, 2021, APx Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.006 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). On November 8, 2021, the APx Sponsor transferred 20,000 Founder Shares to each of Angel Losada Moreno and David Proman, two of the Company’s independent directors, for an aggregate purchase price of $231.88 (the same per-share price initially paid by the APx Sponsor), resulting in the APx Sponsor holding 4,272,500 Founder Shares.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of 8,950,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the APx Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8,950,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants included as part of the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the APx Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants (i) will not be redeemable by us, (ii) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

A total of $175,950,000, comprised of $172,500,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $6,037,500 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $8,950,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) at Bank of America, National Association maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

Except with respect to interest earned on the remaining funds held in the Trust Account after the redemption, that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of our public shares if we have not completed our initial business combination by December 9, 2024 (assuming we further extend the period of time to consummate our initial business combination in accordance with the terms described in our Articles (the “Combination Period”), or (iii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as amended, and as may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”) (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, the sale of Private Placement Warrants and any future sales of additional notes or debt securities, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating an initial business combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete an initial business combination successfully.

We must complete one or more initial business combinations having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. However, we will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction 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.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest income to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period.

First and Second Extension

On February 27, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting (the “February 2023 EGM”) and our shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles and to the investment management trust agreement dated as of September 7, 2021 (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”) to change the payment required to extend the Combination Period by two three-month periods (the “February Extension Amendment Amendment”). In connection with such vote, the holders of 10,693,417 public shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (and did not withdraw their redemption) for an aggregate redemption amount of $111,346,281. Following such redemptions, approximately $68,271,081 remained in the Trust Account and 6,556,583 public shares remained issued and outstanding.

On February 28, 2023, we issued an unsecured promissory note (the “First Promissory Note”) in an amount of $875,000 in order to economically facilitate our ability to effect the First Extension (as defined below). The First Promissory Note was payable in full on the earlier of (a) our consummation of an initial business combination and (b) December 31, 2023 (the earlier of such dates, the “First Due Date”). On the First Due Date, the Company was obligated to (i) pay to the Payee (as defined in the First Promissory Note) the outstanding principal amount of the First Promissory Note in immediately available funds (the “First Principal Balance”) and (ii) deliver to the Payee, as interest-in- kind, a number of newly issued Warrants equal to the First Principal Balance divided by (y) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. The terms of the Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants we issued in connection with our IPO. The Payee shall be entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

Accordingly, on March 1, 2023, we deposited $750,000 into the Trust Account in order to effect the extension of the termination date, from March 9, 2023 to June 9, 2023 (the “First Extension”).

On May 26, 2023, we issued a second unsecured promissory note (the “Second Promissory Note” and, together with the First Promissory Note, the “Promissory Notes”) in an amount of $750,000 in order to economically facilitate our ability to effect the Second Extension (as defined below). The Second Promissory Note was payable in full on the earlier of (a) our consummation of an initial business combination and (b) December 31, 2023 (the earlier of such dates, the “Second Due Date”). On the Second Due Date, the Company was obligated to (i) pay to the Payee (as defined in the Second Promissory Note) the outstanding principal amount of the Second Promissory Note in immediately available funds (the “Second Principal Balance”) and (ii) deliver to the Payee, as interest-in-kind, a number of newly issued Warrants equal to the Second Principal Balance divided by (y) $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number of warrants. The terms of the Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants we issued in connection with our IPO. The Payee shall be entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

On June 22, 2023, we deposited an additional $750,000 into the Trust Account for a subsequent extension of the termination date, from June 9, 2023 to September 9, 2023 (the “Second Extension”).

On August 18, 2023, the Company paid in full the outstanding balance of $1,625,000 drawn on the First Promissory and Second Promissory Notes, in connection we incurred a gain on settlement of debt of $117,373. The Note payable is considered paid in full, the Company no longer has access to draw funds, and the Payee forfeited all newly issued private placement warrants.

Third Extension

On September 7, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting (the “September 2023 EGM”) and our shareholders approved an amendment to its Articles and to the Trust Agreement to extend the time to complete the initial business combination up to three (3) times for an additional one (1) month each time (each, a “One Month Extension”, and collectively, the “Third Extension”) from September 9, 2023 to December 9, 2023, by depositing the lesser of $0.025 per public share or $125,000 (each such payment, a “Month Extension Payment”) for each one-month extension into the Trust Account. In connection with the September 2023 EGM, the holders of 757,463 public shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (and did not withdraw their redemption) for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $8,273,281. Following such redemptions, approximately $63,340,058 remained in the Trust Account and 5,799,120 public shares remained issued and outstanding.

On September 15, 2023, October 19, 2023 and November 13, 2023, we deposited $125,000 into the Trust Account in order to effect three one-month extensions of the termination date, from September 9, 2023 to December 9, 2023.

Sponsor Alliance; Change in Management and Board; Working Capital Loan

On September 8, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company’s initial sponsor, APx Sponsor and Templar Sponsor, whereby APx Sponsor transferred to the Templar Sponsor 3,342,188 of the Company’s Founder Shares and 6,936,250 Private Placement Warrants purchased at the time of the Company’s IPO. The APx Sponsor retained 970,312 Founder Shares and 2,013,750 Private Placement Warrants. The transfer of Founder Shares and Placement Warrants to the Templar Sponsor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is referred to as the “Transfer.” The Transfer, all other transactions contemplated by the agreements executed in connection with the Transfer (including the transactions contemplated therein) and the Management Change and Board Change (each as defined below) are referred to as the “Sponsor Alliance.”

In connection with the Sponsor Alliance, the Company, its officers and directors, the APx Sponsor and the Templar Sponsor entered into additional agreements whereby: (a) the Templar Sponsor signed a joinder agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”) to become a party to the Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) and the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”), both dated December 6, 2021 and entered into in connection with the IPO, among the Company, the APX Sponsor and certain other shareholders of the Company; and (b) the Letter Agreement was amended by the parties thereto to allow for the Transfer with respect to the Founder Shares (the “Letter Agreement Amendment”). In addition, at the Closing of the Transfer, the Company’s IPO underwriters waived their respective entitlement to the payment of any Deferred Discount (as such term is defined therein) to be paid under the terms of Section 2(c) and Section 5(bb) of the Underwriting Agreement dated December 6, 2021.

As part of the Sponsor Alliance, Kyle Bransfield replaced Daniel Braatz as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, effective upon the Transfer Closing, with Daniel Braatz remaining as a director on the Board (the “Management Change”). In addition, in connection with the Sponsor Alliance, the Board effectuated the following changes (the “Board Change”) as follows: Angel Losada Moreno, David Proman and Diego Dayenoff resigned as directors and were replaced by Fara Remtulla, Daniel Mudd and Thomas P.M. Barry (collectively, the “New Directors”).

On September 8, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Promissory Note” or “Templar Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Templar Sponsor. The Templar Note does not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination (the “Maturity Date”). In the event the Company consummates its initial business combination, the Templar Sponsor has the option on the Maturity Date to convert up to $1,500,000 of the principal outstanding under the Templar Note into that number of warrants (“Working Capital Warrants”) equal to the portion of the principal amount of the Templar Note being converted divided by $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants, if any, would be identical to the terms of the private placement warrants issued by the Company at the time of its initial public offering, as described in the prospectus for the initial public offering dated December 6, 2021 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the transfer restrictions applicable thereto. The Templar Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Templar Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Templar Note becoming immediately due and payable. The issuance of the Templar Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of December 31, 2023, a principal balance of $520,600 was outstanding.

Fourth Extension

On December 8, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting (the “December 2023 EGM”) and our shareholders approved an amendment to its Articles and to the Trust Agreement to extend the termination date up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time from December 9, 2023 to December 9, 2024 (collectively, the “Fourth Extension”), by depositing the lesser of $0.025 per public share or $125,000 for each one-month extension into the Trust Account. In connection with the December 2023 EGM, the holders of 201,496 public shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (and did not withdraw their redemption) for an aggregate redemption amount of $2,246,585. Following such redemptions, $62,410,856 remained in the Trust Account and 5,597,624 public shares remained issued and outstanding. Such remaining amount in the Trust Account will be distributed either to (i) all holders of public shares upon our liquidation or (ii) holders of public shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination.

On December 20, 2023, January 24, 2024, February 12, 2024, March 12, 2024, April 8, 2024 and May 28, 2024, we deposited $125,000 each month into the Trust Account in order to effect six one-month extensions of the termination date to June 9, 2024.

As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Company is in the process of making further deposits of $125,000 for each of the months of June, July, August and September, to extend the termination date to October 9, 2024.

Class B Conversion

On October 2, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of our Articles, each of the APx Sponsor and the Templar Sponsor exercised its rights to convert an aggregate of 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares into an equal number of Class A ordinary shares, on a one-for-one basis (the “Class B Conversion”). As a result of the Class B Conversion, no Class B ordinary shares remain outstanding.

Amended and Restated Working Capital Promissory Note

On February 9, 2024, the Company and Templar Sponsor amended and restated the Working Capital Promissory Note (the “Amended and Restated Note”), to increase the maximum principal amount from $500,000 to $2,000,000 and to provide that, in addition to funding working capital needs, amounts under the Amended and Restated Note may be used the purposes of making one or more payments to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited liability trust company, as Extension Payments (as defined in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2023, as amended). Other than as set forth above, the terms of the Amended and Restated Note are identical to those of the Working Capital Promissory Note. The issuance of the Amended and Restated Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Proposed Business Combination

On March 25, 2024, the Company, OmnigenicsAI Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“OmnigenicsAI”), Heritas Merger Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of OmnigenicsAI (“Merger Sub”) and MultiplAI Health Ltd, a private limited company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“MultiplAI” and, together with OmnigenicsAI, the “Target Companies”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to this Annual Report). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the “Proposed Business Combination”.

The Proposed Business Combination

On the Closing Date but prior to the Merger Effective Time, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) MultiplAI shall, and shall cause the MultiplAI Shareholders (as defined below), and OmnigenicsAI shall cause Parent (as defined below), to consummate all transactions under the MultiplAI Share Purchase Agreement, resulting in the Parent acquiring all of the issued and outstanding MultiplAI Shares, and (b) immediately thereafter, OmnigenicsAI shall, and shall cause Parent to, consummate the MultiplAI Contribution pursuant to which Parent shall contribute all of the issued and outstanding MultiplAI Shares to OmnigenicsAI, OmnigenicsAI shall, and shall cause Parent to, and MultiplAI shall, and shall cause the MultiplAI Shareholders to, assign all of the Parent’s rights under MultiplAI Share Purchase Agreement to OmnigenicsAI, and OmnigenicsAI shall issue to Parent an aggregate amount of 4,000,000 Company Shares (as defined below) in consideration thereof, free and clear of any liens.

On the Closing Date, following the MultiplAI Contribution but prior to the Merger Effective Time, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, OmnigenicsAI and MultiplAI shall cause the consummation of the Restructuring, pursuant to which (i) all Indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions) owed by MultiplAI or any Subsidiary of MultiplAI to Parent, any shareholder of Parent or any of the MultiplAI Shareholders, shall be cancelled and extinguished; and (ii) all Indebtedness (subject to certain exceptions) owed by OmnigenicsAI or any Subsidiary of OmnigenicsAI to Parent, any shareholder of Parent or any of the MultiplAI Shareholders, shall be cancelled and extinguished. The Indebtedness described in this paragraph that is not required to be canceled and extinguished at Closing shall have their maturity date extended to three years following the Closing Date.

On the Closing Date at the Merger Effective Time, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (with the Company being the surviving company and becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of OmnigenicsAI) (the “Merger”) and, as a result of the Merger, (a) each ordinary share of the Company (“SPAC Ordinary Share”) outstanding will be exchanged for the right to receive one ordinary share of OmnigenicsAI, nominal value $0.0001 per share (“Company Share”), (b) all warrants to purchase SPAC Ordinary Shares (“SPAC Warrants”) will become warrants of OmnigenicsAI (“Company Warrants”) exercisable for Company Shares, on substantially the same terms as the SPAC Warrants and (c) OmnigenicsAI shall enter into an Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement with the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent, to amend and assume the Company’s obligations under the existing Warrant Agreement, dated December 6, 2021, to give effect to the conversion of SPAC Warrants to Company Warrants.

Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations

The obligations of the parties to consummate the Proposed Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions at or prior to the Closing, including (a) approval by the Company’s shareholders; (b) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-4 relating to Company Shares and Company Warrants to be issued in the Merger; (c) Nasdaq listing approval of the Company Shares and Company Warrants; (d) absence of any law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, executive order or award which is then in effect and has the effect of making the Proposed Business Combination illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; and I the Company or OmnigenicsAI having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets.

The obligation of the Company to consummate the Proposed Business Combination is subject to certain additional conditions at or prior to the Closing, including (a) the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of OmnigenicsAI, MultiplAI and Merger Sub except, with respect to certain representations and warranties required to be true and correct in all respects, where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct does not result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or MultiplAI Material Adverse Effect or is not materially adverse to Merger Sub, as applicable; (b) OmnigenicsAI’s and Merger Sub’s performance or compliance in all material respects with all agreements and covenants required by the Business Combination Agreement; (c) if the MultiplAI SPA has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, MultiplAI’s performance or compliance in all material respects with all agreements and covenants required by the Business Combination Agreement and MultiplAI SPA; (d) the consummation of the RestructurinI(e) the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect or, if the MultiplAI SPA has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, any MultiplAI Material Adverse Effect; (f) if the MultiplAI SPA has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, the consumation of the MultiplAI Contribution; and (g) OmnigenicsAI having, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, (i) no more than 34,000,000 issued and outstanding Company Shares (on a fully diluted basis after consummation of the Restructuring and the MultiplAI Contribution) in addition to any Company Shares issued pursuant to any PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Backstop Agreement; or (ii) if the transactions under the MultiplAI SPA are not consummated and the MultiplAI SPA is terminated, no more than 30,000,000 issued and outstanding Company Shares (on a fully diluted after consummation of the Restructuring), in addition to any Company Shares issued pursuant to any PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Backstop Agreement.

The obligations of OmnigenicsAI and Merger Sub to consummate the Proposed Business Combination are subject to certain additional conditions at or prior to the Closing, including (a) the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the Company except, with respect to certain representations and warranties, where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct does not result in a SPAC Material Adverse Effect; (b) the performance or compliance in all material respects with all agreements and covenants required by the Proposed Business Combination Agreement; and (c) the absence of a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.

While the obligation of MultiplAI to consummate the Proposed Business Combination is subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the MultiplAI SPA, the obligations of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement (other than MultiplAI) to consummate the Proposed Business Combination is not subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the MultiplAI SPA.

Representations and Warranties

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company, OmnigenicsAI, MultiplAI and Merger Sub relating to, among other things, their ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which they are party and their outstanding capitalization. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Business Combination Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the Closing.

In the event that the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, all Transaction Expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Business Combination shall be paid by the party incurring such Transaction Expenses. If the Transactions are consummated, (a) OmnigenicsAI shall pay or cause to be paid (i) the SPAC Transaction Expenses, subject to the SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap, and (ii) the Company Transaction Expenses at the Closing; and (b) Templar Sponsor shall pay or cause to be paid, (i) all unpaid SPAC Transaction Expenses in excess of the applicable SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap, (ii) any expenses incurred by the Company in its pursuit of potential acquisition or business targets other than the Target Companies or that were not incurred by the Company in connection with or in furtherance of the Proposed Business Combination and (c) all fees and expenses incurred by the Company solely relating to the extension proposals approved by the shareholders of the Company on February 27, 2023, September 7, 2023 and December 8, 2023, which extended the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination Agreement

MultiplAI Share Purchase Agreement

On March 13, 2024, Heritas Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Parent”), MultiplAI and the holders (the “MultiplAI Shareholders”) of ordinary shares, par value £0.0001, of MultiplAI and any other equity commitments or equity securities of MultiplAI, including any securities or commitments convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable

for, or representing the right to subscribe for, any such ordinary shares of MultiplAI (such securities, the “MultiplAI Shares”) entered into that certain amended and restated share purchase agreement (the “MultiplAI SPA”) relating to the sale and purchase of all of the ordinary shares of MultiplAI and, if required under the MultiplAI SPA, all of the MultiplAI Shareholders’ rights and interest in certain equity related agreements and convertible securities, as well as any related ancillary documents or agreements.

Pursuant to the MultiplAI SPA, and prior to the Closing, Parent shall purchase all MultiplAI Shares that are issued and outstanding from the MultiplAI Shareholders, free and clear of any encumbrances.

The foregoing description of the Backstop Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Backstop Agreement, copy of which is included as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, OmnigenicsAI, Parent, the Company, the Templar Sponsor, certain shareholders of the Company and Parent, the MultiplAI Shareholders and the OmnigenicsAI Heritas Key Personnel (as defined in the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement) will enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the holders of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement) shall have customary demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the

Company Shares held by such holders. Additionally, the Company Shares held by each party to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will, subject to certain exceptions, be subject to a lock-up until (i) the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, and (ii) such date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders of the Company having the right to exchange their Company Shares for cash, securities or other property, provided that if the share price of the Company Shares exceeds $12.00 per Company Share (as adjusted for share splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period, 50% of the Company Shares held by any given party to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement shall be released from the lock-up.

Effecting Our Initial Business Combination

General

We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time following the IPO. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination using remaining cash in the Trust Account from the proceeds of the IPO and the private placement of the private placement warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the IPO or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing. We may seek to complete our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.

If our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the Trust Account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination or used for redemptions of our Class A ordinary shares, we may use the balance of the cash released to us from the Trust Account following the closing for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.

Although our management will assess the risks inherent in a particular target business with which we may combine, we cannot assure you that this assessment will result in our identifying all risks that a target business may encounter. Furthermore, some of those risks may be outside of our control, meaning that we can do nothing to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely affect a target business.

We may seek to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and we may effectuate our initial business combination using the proceeds of such offering rather than using the amounts held in the Trust Account. In addition, we intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by public shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would expect to complete such financing only simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. In the case of an initial business combination funded with assets other than the Trust Account assets, our proxy materials or tender offer documents disclosing the initial business combination would disclose the terms of the financing and, only if required by law, we would seek shareholder approval of such financing. There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following consummation of the IPO. Other than with respect to the Backup Agreement described above, (i) we are not currently a party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising any additional funds through the sale of securities or otherwise and (ii) none of our Sponsors, officers, directors or shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination.

Sources of Target Businesses

The Target Companies were, and we anticipate that other target business candidates will be, brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and private investment funds. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read the IPO prospectus and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors, as well as their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business candidates of which they become aware through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions. In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise necessarily be available to us as a result of the track record and business relationships of our officers and directors. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of a finder’s fee is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the Trust Account. In no event, however, will our Sponsors or any of our existing officers or directors, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation by the company prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). In addition, commencing on the date of the IPO prospectus, we were obligated to pay the APx Sponsor or an affiliate thereof up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team and other expenses and obligations of APx Sponsor. In connection with the Sponsor Alliance, this agreement was terminated.

Any such payments prior to our initial business combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than the foregoing, there will be no finder’s fees, reimbursement, consulting fee, monies in respect of any payment of a loan or other compensation paid by us to our Sponsors, officers or directors, or any affiliate of our Sponsors or officers prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with our Sponsors, officers or directors, or from completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with our Sponsors, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or a valuation or appraisal firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.

Evaluation of a Target Business and Structuring of Our Initial Business Combination

In evaluating a prospective target business, such as the Target Companies, we expect to conduct a due diligence review which may encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as applicable, as well as a review of financial, operational, legal and other information which will be made available to us. If we determine to move forward with a particular target, we will proceed to structure and negotiate the terms of the business combination transaction.

The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of, and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination. The company will not pay any consulting fees to members of our management team, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with our initial business combination.

Lack of Business Diversification

For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

•

subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial business combination, and

•

cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.

Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target’s Management Team

Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business, including the respective management of the Target Companies, when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with that business, our assessment of the target business’s management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.

We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.

Following our initial business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

Other Transactions with Respect to Our Securities

At any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws, Templar Sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may enter into transactions with institutional or other investors to provide them with incentives to vote their public shares in favor of our initial business combination or not redeem their public shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions.

The purpose of any such transaction would be to (i) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, (ii) incentivize voting such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination or (iii) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met.

Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination

We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is currently approximately $11.20 per public

share, and such amount may increase further the lesser of $0.025 per public share or $125,000 per month in the event we decide to extend the Combination Period, as described herein. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of our initial business combination with respect to our warrants. Our Sponsors, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the completion of our initial business combination.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other special purpose acquisition companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess similar or greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public shareholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination and our issued and outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.

Facilities

We currently maintain our executive offices at 714 Westview Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee 37205. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

Employees

We currently have two executive officers: Kyle Bransfield and Xavier Martinez. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

Available Information

We are required to file Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and are required to disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control, acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K. The SEC maintains an Internet website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The SEC’s Internet website is located at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, the Company will provide copies of these documents without charge upon request from us in writing at 714 Westview Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee 3705 or by telephone at (202) 465-5882.

In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

For additional risks related to the Target Companies and the Proposed Business Combination, please see the Registration Statement on Form F-4 once filed that is expected to be filed in connection with the Proposed Business Combination.

Risks Relating to Our Search for, Consummation of, or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination and Post-Business Combination Risks

We are an early stage incorporated exempted company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

We are an early stage incorporated exempted company with no operating results, and we will not commence operations until the consummation of our initial business combination. Because we lack an operating history, you have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective of completing our initial business combination with one or more target businesses. If we fail to complete our initial business combination, we will never generate any operating revenues.

The Proposed Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.

The consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to customary closing conditions for transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies, including, among others:

•

approval of several proposals by our shareholders;

•

the capital stock constituting the Proposed Business Combination consideration shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq subject to notice of official issuance;

•

no order, statute, rule or regulation enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination being in effect;

•

the Company having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets as of the closing of the Proposed Business Combination;

•

the Form S-4 having become effective and no stop order being in effect;

•

the receipt of certain regulatory approvals; and

•

customary bring down conditions.

Past performance may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in our securities. Further, in the event of the termination of the Proposed Business Combination, we expect that the market price of our securities would immediately and materially decrease, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to identify and consummate an alternative business combination or as to the value of any such alternative business combination to our stockholders.

Information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with, our management team and their affiliates is presented for informational purposes only. Any past acquisition or operational experience of our management team and their affiliates is not a guarantee either: (i) that we will be able to consummate the Proposed Business Combination, (ii) that we would be able to locate a suitable alternative candidate for, and consummate, an initial business combination; or (iii) of any results with respect to any initial business combination we may consummate. You should not rely on the historical record of our management team’s or their affiliates’ performance as indicative of the future performance of an investment in us or the returns we will, or are likely to, generate going forward. None of our officers and directors has had experience with blank check companies or special purpose acquisition companies in the past.

In the event that the Proposed Business Combination were to be terminated, we expect that the market price of our securities would immediately and materially decrease, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to identify and consummate an alternative business combination, and no assurance as to the value of any such alternative business combination to our stockholders.

In the event that the Proposed Business Combination were to be terminated, you would be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any alternative target business prior to our entry into an alternative business combination agreement.

In the event that the Proposed Business Combination were to be terminated, we would expect to focus our search on an alternative target business in any industry or sector. Unless and until we have identified and publicly announced a business combination transaction, there is no basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any particular target business or of the terms of any combination with any such target business, and we cannot assure you that any such transaction would be more or less favorable than the Proposed Business Combination, or would or would not result in a reduction in the value of our public shares.

Our public shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed initial business combination, and even if we hold a vote, holders of our founder shares will participate in such vote, which means we may complete our initial business combination even though a majority of our public shareholders do not support such a combination.

We may choose not to hold a shareholder vote to approve our initial business combination unless the business combination would require shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements. In such case, the decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors, such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. Even if we seek shareholder approval, the holders of our founder shares will participate in the vote on such approval. Accordingly, we may complete our initial business combination even if holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares do not approve of the business combination we complete.

Your only opportunity to effect your investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash.

At the time of your investment in us, you will not be provided with an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of our initial business combination. Since our board of directors may complete a business combination without seeking shareholder approval, public shareholders may not have the right or opportunity to vote on the business combination, unless we seek such shareholder vote. Accordingly, your only opportunity to effect your investment decision regarding our initial business combination may be limited to exercising your redemption rights within the period of time (which will be at least 20 business days) set forth in our tender offer documents mailed to our public shareholders in which we describe our initial business combination.

Because of our limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete our initial business combination within the required time period. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and our warrants will expire worthless.

We expect to encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess similar or greater technical, human and other resources to ours or more local industry knowledge than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, our ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. In addition, as our strategy is to focus on business combination targets in Latin America, where there is a more limited pool of targets, we may be unable to find a suitable business combination target. Furthermore, we are obligated to offer holders of our public shares the right to redeem their shares for cash at the time of our initial business combination in conjunction with a shareholder vote or via a tender offer. Target companies will be aware that this may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination within the required time period. Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and our warrants will expire worthless.

The ability of our public shareholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a business combination with a target.

We may seek to enter into a business combination transaction agreement with a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. If too many public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, we would not be able to meet such closing condition and, as a result, would not be able to proceed with the business combination. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon completion of our initial business combination, or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. Consequently, if accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon completion of our initial business combination or less than such greater amount necessary to satisfy a closing condition as described above, we would not proceed with such redemption of our public shares and the related business combination, and we may instead search for an alternate business combination. Prospective targets will be aware of these risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into a business combination transaction with us.

The ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.

At the time we enter into an agreement for our initial business combination, we will not know how many shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore will need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. If our initial business combination agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to pay the purchase price, or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, we will need to reserve a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to meet such requirements, or arrange for third party financing. In addition, if a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the Trust Account or arrange for third party financing. Raising additional third party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provision of the Class B ordinary shares results in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares at the time of our initial business combination. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure.

The ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares could increase the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your shares.

If our initial business combination agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to pay the purchase price, or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful is increased. If our initial business combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until we liquidate the Trust Account. If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your shares in the open market; however, at such time our shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with your exercise of redemption rights until we liquidate or you are able to sell your shares in the open market.

The requirement that we complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating a business combination and may limit the time we have in which to conduct due diligence on potential business combination targets, in particular as we approach our business combination deadline, which could undermine our ability to complete our initial business combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders.

Any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware that we must complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period. Consequently, such target business may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a business combination, knowing that if we do not complete our initial business combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.

Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by negative impacts on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and Hamas’ attack of Israel and the ensuing war.

The United States and global markets have experienced volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions as a result of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 and the attack of Israel by Hamas in October 2023. Although the length and impact of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas conflict are highly unpredictable, these conflicts could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions.

Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the Israel-Hamas conflict, could adversely affect our search for a business combination and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination. The extent and duration of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, such as those related to the market for our securities, cross-border transactions or our ability to raise equity or debt financing in connection with any particular business combination. If these disruptions or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected.

We may not be able to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our public shares and liquidate, in which case our public shareholders may receive only $11.20 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.

We may not be able to find a suitable target business and complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period. Our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein, including as a result of terrorist attacks, social unrest, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of infectious diseases. For example, the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus, the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Hamas’ attack of Israel and the ensuing war, the increased rate of inflation in the United States and other events (such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases) may negatively impact businesses we may seek to acquire. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest income to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. In such case, our public shareholders may receive only $11.20 per share, or less than $11.20 per share, on the redemption of their shares, and our warrants will expire worthless. See “- If third parties bring claims against us, the funds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $11.20 per share” and other risk factors herein.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, our public shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such time frame before redemption from our Trust Account.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the Combination Period, the funds then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest income to pay dissolution expenses), will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, as further described herein. Any redemption of public shareholders from the Trust Account will be effected automatically by function of our Articles prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind-up or liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond the Combination Period before the redemption proceeds of our Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the funds from our Trust Account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless we consummate our initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their Class A ordinary shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will public shareholders be entitled to distributions if we are unable to complete our initial business combination.

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our initial shareholders and management team have agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.

Our Sponsors own 43.5% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Our Sponsors and management team also may from time to time purchase Class A ordinary shares prior to our initial business combination. Our Articles provide that if we seek shareholder approval of an initial business combination, such initial business combination will be approved if we receive an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company, including the founder shares. As a result, in addition to our Sponsors’ founder shares, 642,562, or 11.5%, of the 5,597,624 public shares remaining issued and outstanding after the previous redemptions will need to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). Accordingly, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, the agreement by our initial shareholders and management team to vote in favor of our initial business combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive an ordinary resolution, being the requisite shareholder approval for such initial business combination.

If a shareholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our public shares in connection with our initial business combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for submitting or tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

We will comply with the proxy rules or tender offer rules, as applicable, when conducting redemptions in connection with our initial business combination. Despite our compliance with these rules, if a shareholder fails to receive our proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly tender or submit public shares for redemption. For example, we intend to require our public shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to, at the holder’s option, either deliver their share certificates to our transfer agent, or to deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically prior to the date set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable. In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up to two business days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination. In addition, if we conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote, we intend to require a public shareholder seeking redemption of its public shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the scheduled vote in which the name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its shares may not be redeemed.

We may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination.

We intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants. As a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemption by public shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. The current economic environment may make it difficult for companies to obtain acquisition financing. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to complete our initial business combination, we would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. Further, we may be required to obtain additional financing in connection with the closing of our initial business combination for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, or to fund the purchase of other companies. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and our warrants will expire worthless. In addition, even if we do not need additional financing to complete our initial business combination, we may require such financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination.

Although we have identified general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we may enter into our initial business combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and as a result, the target business with which we enter into our initial business combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with our general criteria and guidelines.

Although we have identified general criteria and guidelines, including geographic area, for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that a target business with which we enter into our initial business combination will not have all of these positive attributes. If we complete our initial business combination with a target that does not meet some or all of these guidelines, such combination may not be as successful as a combination with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and guidelines. In addition, if we announce a prospective business combination with a target that does not meet our general criteria and guidelines, a greater number of shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, which may make it difficult for us to meet any closing condition with a target business that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. In addition, if shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, it may be more difficult for us to attain shareholder approval of our initial business combination if the target business does not meet our general criteria and guidelines. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public shareholders (which may be $11.20 per share or less in certain circumstances), and our warrants will expire worthless.

We may seek business combination opportunities in industries or sectors that may be outside of our management’s areas of expertise.

We may consider a business combination outside of our management’s areas of expertise if a business combination candidate is presented to us and we determine that such candidate offers an attractive business combination opportunity for our company. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular business combination candidate, we cannot assure you that we will adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our units will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in the IPO than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in a business combination candidate. In the event we elect to pursue a business combination outside of the areas of our management’s expertise, our management’s expertise may not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and the information contained in the IPO prospectus regarding the areas of our management’s expertise would not be relevant to an understanding of the business that we elect to acquire. As a result, our management may not be able to ascertain or assess adequately all of the relevant risk factors. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following our initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

Resources could be wasted in researching business combinations that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and our warrants will expire worthless.

We anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, consultants and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may fail to complete our initial business combination for any number of reasons including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public shareholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and our warrants will expire worthless.

We may have a limited ability to assess the management of a prospective target business and, as a result, may effect our initial business combination with a target business whose management may not have the skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company.

When evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with a prospective target business, including the Target Companies, our ability to assess the target business’s management may be limited due to a lack of time, resources or information. Our assessment of the capabilities of the target business’s management, therefore, may prove to be incorrect and such management may lack the skills, qualifications or abilities we suspected. Should the target business’s management not possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to manage a public company, the operations and profitability of the post-combination business may be negatively impacted. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following the business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, relating to the business combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

We may seek acquisition opportunities with an early-stage company, a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenue or earnings.

To the extent we complete our initial business combination with an early-stage company, a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of sales or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the operations of the business with which we combine. These risks include investing in a business without a demonstrated business model and with limited historical financial data, volatile revenues or earnings, intense competition and difficulties in obtaining and retaining key personnel. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not be able to properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors and we may not have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business.

Moreover, in pursuing our business combination strategy, we may seek to effectuate our initial business combination with a privately held company. Very little public information generally exists about private companies, and we could be required to make our decision on whether to pursue a potential initial business combination on the basis of limited information, which may result in a business combination with a company that is not as profitable (if at all) as we believed at the time of signing an agreement to acquire such private company or that fails to meet the projections upon which our valuation may be based.

The officers and directors of an acquisition candidate may resign upon completion of our initial business combination. The loss of a business combination target’s key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business.

The role of an acquisition candidate’s key personnel upon the completion of our initial business combination cannot be ascertained at this time. Although we contemplate that certain members of an acquisition candidate’s management team will remain associated with the acquisition candidate following our initial business combination, it is possible that members of the management of an acquisition candidate will not wish to remain in place.

Since our Sponsors, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to public shares they may acquire during or after the IPO), a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination.

On May 21, 2021, we issued to APx Sponsor an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.006 per share. The purchase price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the company by the number of founder shares issued. The number of founder shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 17,250,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, and therefore that such founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. The founder shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. In addition, APx Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,950,000 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $8,950,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. The private placement warrants will also be worthless if we do not complete our initial business combination. In connection with the Sponsor Alliance, certain founder shares and private placement warrants were transferred to the Templar Sponsor. The personal and financial interests of our officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. This risk may become more acute as the Combination Period nears its end, which is the deadline for our completion of an initial business combination.

The nominal purchase price paid by our Sponsors for the founder shares may significantly dilute the implied value of your public shares in the event we consummate an initial business combination, and our Sponsors are likely to make a substantial profit on its investment in us in the event we consummate an initial business combination, even if the business combination causes the trading price of our ordinary shares to decline materially.

While we offered our units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit and the amount in the Trust Account is anticipated to be $11.20 per public share, implying an initial value of $11.20 per public share, the APx Sponsor paid only a nominal aggregate purchase price of $25,000 for the founder shares, or approximately $0.006 per share. As a result, the value of your public shares may be significantly diluted in the event we consummate an initial business combination. APx Sponsor invested an aggregate of $8,975,000 in us in connection with the IPO, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for the founder shares and the $8,950,000 purchase price for the private placement warrants. As a result, even if the trading price of our ordinary shares significantly declines, our Sponsors will stand to make significant profit on its investment in us. In addition, our Sponsors could potentially recoup its entire investment in us even if the trading price of our ordinary shares is less than $1.00 per share and even if the private placement warrants are worthless. As a result, our Sponsors are likely to make a substantial profit on their respective investment in us even if we select and consummate an initial business combination that causes the trading price of our ordinary shares to decline, while our public shareholders who purchased their units in the IPO could lose significant value in their public shares. Our sponsor may therefore be economically incentivized to consummate an initial business combination with a riskier, weaker performing or less established target business than would be the case if our sponsor had paid the same per share price for the founder shares as our public shareholders paid for their public shares.

Because we must furnish our shareholders with target business financial statements, we may lose the ability to complete an otherwise advantageous initial business combination with some prospective target businesses.

The federal proxy rules require that the proxy statement with respect to the vote on an initial business combination include historical and pro forma financial statement disclosure. We will include the same financial statement disclosure in connection with our tender offer documents, whether or not they are required under the tender offer rules. These financial statements may be required to be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) or international financial reporting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) depending on the circumstances and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.” These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire because some targets may be unable to provide such financial statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame.

We may experience a shortage of working capital as the net proceeds generated from the IPO and the sale of private placement warrants not held in the Trust Account may not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the duration of the Combination Period. This may result in limitations to the amount of funds available for our businesses search and the completion of our initial business combination. Consequently, we will need to rely on loans from Templar Sponsor, management team, their affiliates or third parties to finance our search and finalization of the initial business combination, if any.

Of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, only $8,167 in cash were available to us as of December 31, 2023 outside the Trust Account to fund our working capital requirements. We believe that the current funds available to us outside of the Trust Account will not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the duration of the Combination Period. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent or merger agreements designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent or merger agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business.

As our offering expenses and other operating expenses exceeded our estimate of $1,400,000, we may continue to fund such excess with additional loans to increase the funds available for our operation outside the Trust Account. The amount held in the Trust Account will not be impacted as a result of such additional expected loans that we may incur. As we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our Sponsors, management team, their affiliates or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. For example, in February 2023 and May 2023, we issued the First Promissory Note and Second Promissory Note, respectively. In addition, in September 2023, we issued the Working Capital Promissory Note, which was amended and restated in February 2024. However, neither Templar Sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates or third parties is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of certain loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. In addition, we may need to engage in private negotiations with third parties, our Sponsors, management, or its affiliates to secure loans that may not be in our favor in order to complete our initial business combination. Third parties may not be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be
