ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Organization and General Twin Ridge Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 7, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in its identification and acquisition of a target company. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 7, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and our initial public offering (“IPO”) described below, and, since the closing of the IPO on March 8, 2021, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO and will recognize changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and other financial instruments as other income (expense). The Company’s sponsor is Twin Ridge Capital Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). Financing The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 3, 2021. On March 8, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 4,933,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,400,000, which is discussed in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $11,551,318 consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting discount, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $551,318 of other offering costs. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 10, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,308,813 Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $13,088,130, and incurred $261,764 in cash underwriting fees and $458,085 in deferred underwriting fees. Trust Account Following the closing of the IPO on March 8, 2021 and the underwriters’ partial exercise of over-allotment option on March 10, 2021, $213,088,130 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and over-allotment and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), which can be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) which invest only in direct U.S Initial Business Combination The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will complete the initial Business Combination only if the post-Business Combination company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 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. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The ordinary shares subject to redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). If the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below and described in Note 5), (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period), and (iv) vote their Founder Shares and public shares in favor of the initial Business Combination. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. Proposed Carbon Revolution Business Combination Business Combination Agreement and Scheme Implementation Deed On November 29, 2022, the Company, Carbon Revolution Limited, an Australian public company with Australian Company Number 128 274 653 listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“Carbon Revolution”), Carbon Revolution Public Limited Company (formerly known as Poppetell Limited), a public limited company incorporated in Ireland with registered number 607450 (“MergeCo”), and Poppettell Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of MergeCo (“Merger Sub” and, together with SPAC, the Company and MergeCo, collectively, the “Parties” and each a “Party”), entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), and on November 30, 2022, Carbon Revolution, the Company and MergeCo entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Scheme Implementation Deed”). Under the Scheme Implementation Deed, Carbon Revolution has agreed to propose a scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the “Corporations Act”) subject to any alterations or conditions made or required by the Federal Court of Australia or such other court of competent jurisdiction under the Corporations Act agreed to in writing by the Company and Carbon Revolution under subsection 411(6) of the Corporations Act and agreed to in writing by Carbon Revolution, the Company and MergeCo (the “Scheme”) and a capital reduction under Part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) which, if implemented, will result in all shares of Carbon Revolution being cancelled in return for consideration, with Carbon Revolution issuing a share to MergeCo (resulting in Carbon Revolution becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of MergeCo) and MergeCo issuing shares to the shareholders of Carbon Revolution, subject to approval from Carbon Revolution’s shareholders, approval of the Federal Court of Australia and the satisfaction of various other conditions (a full list of the conditions is set out in the Scheme Implementation Deed). The Business Combination Agreement provides for the business combination, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company shall be merged with and into MergerSub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MergeCo (the “Merger”), subject to, among other things, the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Scheme Implementation Deed (the “Transactions”) will be consummated subject to the deliverables and provisions as further described in the Business Combination Agreement. Upon implementation of the Scheme, the Carbon Revolution non-executive directors will be appointed to MergeCo's board of directors (Jake Dingle is already on MergeCo's board of directors), as will four additional independent non-executive directors identified by Carbon Revolution's board of directors and the Company who will bring significant additional expertise to MergeCo's board of directors. The Company agreed not to exercise its right to appoint two additional directors under the Scheme Implementation Deed on the basis that offers were made to each of these additional independent non-executive directors and any two of these four additional independent non-executive directors agreed to join MergeCo's board of directors. Ronan Donohoe and Rolando Ebuna are expected to resign upon implementation of the Scheme. Related Agreements Letter Agreement On June 12, 2023, the Company, Carbon Revolution, MergeCo and Merger Sub entered into a letter agreement (the “ Letter Agreement Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and the Scheme Implementation Deed, the Sponsor, Twin Ridge Capital Sponsor Subsidiary Holdings LLC (“TRCA Subsidiary”), Alison Burns (“Burns”), Paul Henrys (“Henrys”) and Gary Pilnick (“Pilnick” together with Burns and Henrys, the “Independent Directors”) and Dale Morrison (“Morrison”), Sanjay K. Morey (“Morey”) and William P. Russell, Jr. (“Russell”, and together with Morrison and Morey, the “Other Insiders”, and together with Sponsor, TRCA Subsidiary and the Independent Directors, the “Sponsor Parties”), the Company, Carbon Revolution and MergeCo entered into a Sponsor Side Letter (the “Sponsor Side Letter”), pursuant to which the Sponsor Parties have agreed to take, or not take, certain actions during the period between the execution of the Sponsor Side Letter and the consummation of the Merger, including, (i) to vote any ordinary shares of the Company owned by such Sponsor Party (all such shares, the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the Merger and the Scheme and other related proposals at the shareholders’ meeting of the Company, and any other special meeting of the Company’s shareholders called for the purpose of soliciting stockholder approval in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the Scheme, (ii) to waive the anti-dilution rights or similar protections with respect to the Class B ordinary shares owned by such party as set forth in the governing documents of the Company, or otherwise, and (iii) not to redeem any Covered Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Side Letter) owned by such Sponsor Party. Pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter, Sponsor has also agreed that, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, and conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger, 327,203 of the 5,267,203 Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned by Sponsor shall be automatically forfeited and surrendered to the Company for no additional consideration. Standby Equity Purchase Agreement Concurrently with the parties entering into the Business Combination Agreement and Scheme Implementation Deed, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “CEF”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) pursuant to which, subject to the consummation of the Transactions, MergeCo has the option, but not the obligation, to issue, and Yorkville shall subscribe for, an aggregate amount of up to $60 million of ordinary shares of MergeCo (“MergeCo Ordinary Shares”) at the time of MergeCo’s choosing during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations, including caps on exchanges, issuances and subscriptions based on trading volumes. Each advance under the CEF (an “Advance”) may be in an amount of MergeCo Ordinary Shares up to the greater of $10 million or the aggregate daily trading volume of MergeCo Ordinary Shares in the five three Extension Meeting On March 6, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”) to amend its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which it has to consummate an initial Business Combination to September 8, 2023 (or March 8, 2024, if applicable under the Amended and Restated Articles of Association). Carbon Revolution or the Sponsor (or one or more of their affiliates, members or third-party designees) will deposit $160,000 into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, for an aggregate deposit of up to $1,440,000 (if all nine additional monthly extensions are exercised), in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to Carbon Revolution. As of June 30, 2023, $640,000 has been deposited into the Trust Account. On March 10, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $1,500,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to Carbon Revolution. The Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. The proceeds of the Promissory Note will be deposited in the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, there was $640,000 outstanding under the Promissory Note. Subsequent to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and as of the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company has drawn an additional $320,000 under the Promissory Note for two monthly extensions through September 8, 2023. In connection with that vote, the holders of 15,042,168 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $153,567,547 or $10.21 per share. After the satisfaction of such redemptions and receipt of the initial deposit of $480,000 to the Trust Account, the balance in the Trust Account was approximately $64,457,034. Certain purported shareholders of the Company sent demand letters (the “Demands”) alleging deficiencies and/or omissions in the Registration Statement on Form F-4, filed by Carbon Revolution with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) initially on February 27, 2023 (as may be further amended). The Demands seek additional disclosures to remedy these purported deficiencies. The Company believes that the allegations in the Demands are meritless. Going Concern and Liquidity As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $130,000 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $6.2 million. The Company may need to raise further additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The Company has until September 8, 2023 (or March 8, 2024, if applicable under the Amended and Restated Articles of Association) to consummate an initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial Business Combination by September 8, 2023 (or March 8, 2024, if applicable under the Amended and Restated Articles of Association). If an initial Business Combination is not consummated by the liquidation date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Additionally, it is uncertain that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through September 8, 2023, or through twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after September 8, 2023. Risks and Uncertainties On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military action against Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is possible. The impact to Ukraine as well as actions taken by other countries, including new and stricter sanctions imposed by Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States, and other countries and companies and organizations against officials, individuals, regions, and industries in Russia and Ukraine, and actions taken by Russia in response to such sanctions, and each country’s potential response to such sanctions, tensions, and military actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete the Business Combination. Any such material adverse effect from the conflict and enhanced sanctions activity may include reduced trading and business activity levels, disruption of financial markets, increased costs, disruption of services, inability to complete financial or banking transactions, and inability to service existing or new customers in the region. Prolonged unrest, military activities, or broad-based sanctions, should they be implemented, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete the Business Combination. The Company is exposed to volatility in the banking market. At various times, we could have deposits with certain U.S. banks in excess of the maximum amounts insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank became insolvent. State regulators closed the bank and the FDIC was appointed as its receiver. The Company did not hold any deposits with Silicon Valley Bank as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. On May 1, 2023, First Republic Bank was forced to close and JPMorgan Chase Bank assumed all of the deposits and assets of First Republic Bank. The Company held assets in First Republic Bank, however due to FDIC limits had little exposure to losses at June 30, 2023. The Company has not experienced any losses due to these bank failures. |
