NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organization and General

Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp (the “Company” or “IWAC”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on July 7, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). IWAC Holding Company Inc., a Delaware corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Pubco”) was incorporated on August 8, 2024. IWAC Purchaser Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Purchaser Merger Sub”) was incorporated on August 9, 2024. IWAC Company Merger Sub Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”) was incorporated on August 12, 2024, 2024. IWAC Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary IWAC Purchaser Merger Sub Inc., incorporated on January 19, 2023, are Delaware corporations and wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company that are dormant since the termination of the proposed business combination with Refreshing USA, LLC on September 26, 2023.

Sponsor and Initial Financing

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 7, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below, and identifying and negotiating with a target for a Business Combination. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of earnings and interest on marketable securities and cash held in the Trust Account (as defined below) from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on December 8, 2021. On December 13, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 4).

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 6,850,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and, collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to IWH Sponsor LP (the “Prior Sponsor”), generating proceeds of $6,850,000.

Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $6,822,078, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting discount, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $497,078 of offering costs. Of these amounts, $302,696 was allocated to the Public Warrants and charged against additional paid-in capital and $6,519,382 were allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reducing the initial carrying amount of such shares.

Sponsor Handover

On November 8, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with IWH Sponsor LP, the Company’s Prior Sponsor, and Sriram Associates, LLC ( “Sriram”), pursuant to which, the Prior Sponsor agreed to transfer to Sriram or its designees (i) 2,012,500 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares and (ii) 4,795,000 of the Company’s private placement warrants for a total purchase price of one dollar (the “Transfer”). In connection with the Transfer, new persons were to be appointed officers and directors of the Company and the Company agreed to take such actions necessary to effectuate such changes (the “Management Change”). The Transfer, the Management Change and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Sponsor Handover.”

In addition to the payment of the purchase price, Sriram agreed to assume various obligations of the Company, including (i) the costs and expenses associated with the monthly extension approved by the Company’s shareholders until December 12, 2023 including monthly extension payments of $160,000, (ii) the costs and expenses for the Company to take all necessary actions to file a proxy statement and hold a shareholders meeting prior to December 13, 2023 in order to extend the term of the Company to the date which is 36 months following the consummation of its IPO, (iii) satisfaction of all of its public company reporting requirements, (iv) payment of D&O insurance premium to extend the Company’s existing D&O insurance policy and maintain D&O coverage through the closing of the Business Combination and obtain appropriate tail coverage, (v) payment of all outstanding legal fees owed by the Company at or before the closing of a Business Combination, (vi) payment of all of the Company’s existing liabilities and (vii) performance of all other obligations of a sponsor related to the Company. As of September 30, 2024, a designee and affiliate of Sriram has paid $2,489,623 for the Company’s outstanding obligations and deposits into the Trust Account, which are recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

On February 1, 2024, the Sponsor Handover was consummated (the “Closing”). Suntone Investment Pty Ltd (“Suntone”), a designee and affiliate of Sriram, acquired the securities in the Transfer and has subsequently served as the Sponsor of the Company. In connection with the Closing, the parties agreed to the changes to the Company’s management team and board of directors.

The Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on December 13, 2021, an amount of $117,300,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). The funds in the Trust Account were invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company is not permitted to withdraw any of the principal or interest held in the Trust Account except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any. The funds held in the Trust Account will not otherwise be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of: (i) the Company’s completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a Target Business. As used herein, “Target Business” means one or more operating businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the 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 the signing of a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. The per-share amount to be distributed to the public shareholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 5). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. As a result, Class A ordinary shares are recorded at their redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).

The Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange rules, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 3), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company provides that only Public Shares and not any Founder Shares are entitled to redemption rights. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Company originally had until 18 months from the closing of the IPO to complete a Business Combination (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extended the time to complete a Business Combination by the sponsor depositing into the Trust Account for each three-month extension $1,150,000 ($0.10 per share)), up to an aggregate of $2,300,000, or $0.20 per unit, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. On March 14, 2023, the Prior Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $1,150,000 (representing $0.10 per public share) into the Trust Account for its public shareholders. The deposit enabled the Company to extend the date by which the Company has to complete a Business Combination from March 13, 2023 to June 13, 2023 (the “Initial Extension”). The Initial Extension was the first of two three-month automatic extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents and provides the Company with additional time to complete a Business Combination. On June 2, 2023, the Company’s shareholders voted to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from June 13, 2023 to December 13, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) in its sole discretion) (the “Second Extension”).

On June 2, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved, among other things, a proposal by special resolution to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from June 13, 2023 to December 13, 2023. An aggregate of $160,000 (representing $0.03 per public share) was deposited into the Trust Account for each of the six one-month extension through December 13, 2023. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company exercised six one-month extensions, depositing an aggregate $960,000 into the Trust Account to extend the date by which the Company had to consummate an initial business combination through December 13, 2023.

In connection with the Meeting, holders of 6,108,728 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $64,980,943 was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

On December 11, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “December Meeting”). At the December Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved, among other things, a proposal to amend by special resolution the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination from December 13, 2023 to December 13, 2024 (the “Termination Date”). An aggregate of $125,000 (representing $0.03 per public share) will be deposited into the Trust Account for each of the twelve one-month extension through December 13, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, an aggregate of $1,250,000 was deposited into the Trust Account to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination through October 13, 2024. On October 18, 2024, $125,000 was deposited into the Trust Account to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination through November 13, 2024 (see Note 6). The Company has one remaining one-month extension to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination through December 13, 2024.

In connection with the December Meeting, holders of 1,136,155 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $12,644,095 was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date, 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 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 and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, which interest shall be net of taxes payable), 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 liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date. The underwriter has agreed to waive it right to its deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the per share amount in the Trust Account, which was initially $10.20 per public share.

The Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered (other than its independent registered public accounting firm) or products sold to the Company, or a prospective Target Business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay franchise and income taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and will not apply as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective Target Businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

On May 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Original Business Combination Agreement”) with IWAC Georgia Merger Sub, Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Btab Ecommerce Group, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Btab”).

On August 26, 2024, the Company and Btab entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Pubco, Purchaser Merger Sub, and Company Merger Sub, and acknowledging and agreeing solely with respect to Section 2.1(a)(ii) thereof, Binson Lau. The Business Combination Agreement amended, restated and superseded the Original Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps. Subject to the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of the Company and Btab, on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination and following the Domestication (as defined below): (a) Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into IWAC (the “Purchaser Merger”), with the Company as the surviving company in the Purchaser Merger and, as a result of the Purchaser Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco with the security holders of the Company receiving securities of Pubco with terms substantially equivalent to the terms of their securities of the Company, and (b) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Btab, with Btab as the surviving company in the Company Merger and, as a result of the Company Merger, Btab will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Btab Business Combination”), Pubco expects to be renamed “Btab Ecommerce Holdings, Inc.”

Going Concern

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $5,329 and $7,567 in cash, respectively, and a working capital deficit of $6,741,259 and $4,100,340, respectively. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, 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. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete the Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine and in the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete the Business Combination. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, IWAC Holdings Inc. and IWAC Georgia Merger Sub, Inc., and are presented on a condensed consolidated basis.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 2, 2024, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company does not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on December 13, 2021, an amount of $117,300,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account and invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, substantially all of the assets were held in cash deposits. Dividend income is included in other income as earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, interest income is included in other income as interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account, and accrued dividend income is included in other income as unrealized (loss) gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative liabilities as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, was conducted at the time of issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. Management concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy described above. The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” using the asset and liability method and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to the period when assets are realized or liability is settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the operation of statement in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets were deemed immaterial and the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Tax positions must initially be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company, but rather on the individual owners. United States taxation would occur on the individual owners if certain tax elections are made by U.S. owners and the Company were treated as a passive foreign investment company. Additionally, U.S. taxation could occur to the Company itself if the Company is engaged in a U.S. trade or business. The Company is not expected to be treated as engaged in a U.S. trade or business at this time.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2024, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value at the end of each reporting period and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-capital, in accumulated deficit. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recorded $908,728 and $1,236,133 to remeasure Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to its redemption value, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recorded $2,830,939 and $5,043,917 to remeasure Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to its redemption value, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

The condensed consolidated statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per Class A redeemable ordinary share and loss per Class B non-redeemable ordinary share following the two-class method of income per ordinary share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares, the Company first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares.

This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was treated as dividends paid to the public shareholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both classes of shares, the Company split the amount to be allocated using the weighted average shares outstanding for the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and the Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, reflective of the respective participation rights.

The following tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024:

Related Parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed Federally insured limits. Exposure to cash and cash equivalents credit risk is reduced by placing such deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On July 7, 2021, the Prior Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 2,875,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Prior Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full, so that the number of Founder Shares would collectively represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full. Accordingly, 375,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share capitalization, share subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 180 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Promissory Note — Related Party

In March 2023, the Prior Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Extension Note”) in connection with the extension payment made by the Prior Sponsor for the Initial Extension. The Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of the date the business combination is consummated or the liquidation of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had borrowed $1,150,000, the maximum amount under the Extension Note.

In June 2023, the Prior Sponsor issued an additional unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Second Extension Note”) in connection with the shareholder approval of the Second Extension. The Second Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of the date the business combination is consummated or the liquidation of the Company. The Second Extension Note has a principal amount up to $960,000, and the Prior Sponsor previously deposited $640,000 pursuant to such note to extend the time by which the Company has to complete an initial Business Combination from June 13, 2023 to October 13, 2023.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had borrowed $1,150,000 under the Extension Note and $640,000 under the Second Extension Note for aggregate borrowings of $1,790,000. These amounts are recorded to Promissory note – related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Promissory Note – Suntone

In connection with the Second Extension, Sriram assumed the monthly extension deposits and a designee and affiliate of Sriram contributed $320,000 to the Trust Account for the final two extension deposits to extend the time by which the Company has to complete an initial Business Combination from October 13, 2023 to December 13, 2023. The contributions made by a designee and affiliate of Sriram were not pursuant to the Second Extension Note and instead are recorded to Promissory note - Suntone as of September 30, 2024 and Due to Suntone as of December 31, 2023 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On December 13, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Third Extension Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Sriram, pursuant to which Sriram agreed to loan the Company up to $1,500,000 in connection with the extension of the Company’s Termination Date from December 13, 2023 to December 13, 2024. The Third Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company.

On June 18, 2024, Sriram assigned the Third Extension Note (the “Assignment”) by and between Sriram, as assignor, and Suntone, as assignee.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has borrowed $2,489,623 under the Third Extension Note. This amount includes $1,533,284 of amounts previously classified as a Due to Suntone liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and $956,339 of additional deposits and payments made by Suntone on behalf of the Company subsequent to the Assignment. These amounts are recorded to Promissory note – Suntone on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. Both the Prior Sponsor and Sriram have waived these payments under this agreement, which the Company accounts for as capital contributions. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recorded $30,000 and $0 to Administrative Expense – Related Party on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $330,000 and $0 to Administrative Expense – Related Party on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively, which includes an out-of-period adjustment to account for the $10,000 monthly administrative services fee incurred for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, or $240,000 in the aggregate.

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, of the post Business Combination entity. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Due from Related Party

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Sponsor owed the Company $1,153 and $0, respectively, for payments made by the Company on behalf of the Sponsor. The Sponsor intends to repay the Company for this amount.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Suntone has made payments in the aggregate of $2,489,623 and $556,390, respectively. As Suntone will be repaid for these amounts, the Company recorded payments made on behalf of the Company to Due to Suntone on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company and Sriram formalized repayment terms in accordance with the Assignment of the Third Extension Note on June 18, 2024. As such, $1,533,284 of amounts recorded to Due to Suntone on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 18, 2024 have been reclassified to Promissory note – Suntone on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024.

NOTE 4 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 479,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. In connection with the Meeting on June 2, 2023, holders of Class A ordinary shares redeemed 6,108,728 shares for cash. In connection with the shareholders meeting on December 11, 2023, holders of Class A ordinary shares redeemed 1,136,155 shares for cash. Accordingly, at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, except for 4,255,117 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

With respect to any matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including any vote in connection with a Business Combination, except as required by law, holders of our Founder Shares and holders of our Public Shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote. However, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors and may remove members of the board of directors for any reason.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the IPO plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and excluding any private placement warrants issued to our sponsor, its affiliates or any member of our management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares may agree to waive the foregoing adjustment provisions as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities.

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless a unit holder purchases at least two units, they will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 12 months from the closing of the IPO and (b) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Public Warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon such Public Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Public Warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the Public Warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares is at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective by the 60^th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, public warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable by the Company.

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights Agreement

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders will have the right to require the Company to register for resale these securities pursuant to a shelf registration under Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The holders of a majority of these securities will also be entitled to make up to three demands, plus short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders will be entitled to certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of the Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over- allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discount. On December 13, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, generating an additional $15,000,000 in gross proceeds. As a result of the over-allotment being exercised in full, the Prior Sponsor did not forfeit any Founder Shares back to the Company. The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $2,300,000 in the aggregate at the closing of the IPO. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or $4,025,000 is payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. This fee will be forfeited by the underwriters if a Business Combination does not occur.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to the “Company,” “Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s final prospectus for its initial public offering filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands 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, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report as our initial business combination. While we may pursue an initial business combination target in any industry, we currently intend to concentrate our efforts in identifying businesses in the health, nutrition, fitness, wellness and beauty sectors and the products, devices, applications and technology driving growth within these verticals.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with a business combination to the owners of the target or other investors:

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:

We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The SEC has adopted new rules and regulations relating to SPACs, which became effective on July 1, 2024 (the “2024 SPAC Rules”). The 2024 SPAC Rules require, among other matters, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC sponsors and related persons; (ii) additional disclosures relating to SPAC Business Combination transactions; (iii) additional disclosures relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in both SPAC initial public offerings and Business Combination transactions; (iv) additional disclosures regarding projections included in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; and (v) the requirement that both the SPAC and its target company be co-registrants for Business Combination registration statements. In addition, the SEC’s adopting release provided guidance describing circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition, business purpose, and the activities of the SPAC and its management team in furtherance of such goals. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

Sponsor Handover

On November 8, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Prior Sponsor and Sriram Associates, LLC (the “Acquirer”), pursuant to which, the Prior Sponsor agreed to transfer to the Acquirer (i) 2,012,500 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares and (ii) 4,795,000 of the Company’s private placement warrants for a total purchase price of one dollar (the “Transfer”). In connection with the Transfer, the Acquirer may, in its sole discretion, replace any new officers or directors to the Company and the Company agreed to take such actions necessary to effectuate such changes (the “Management Change”). The Transfer, the Management Change, and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are referred to as the “Sponsor Handover”. On February 1, 2024, the Sponsor Handover was consummated (the “Closing”). Suntone Investment Pty Ltd, a designee and affiliate of Sriram, acquired the securities in the Transfer and has subsequently served as the Sponsor of the Company.

Btab Business Combination

On May 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Original Business Combination Agreement”) with IWAC Georgia Merger Sub, Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Btab Ecommerce Group, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Btab”).

On August 26, 2024, the Company and Btab entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with IWAC Holding Company Inc., a Delaware corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IWAC (“Pubco”), IWAC Purchaser Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Purchaser Merger Sub”), IWAC Company Merger Sub Inc., a Georgia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”), and acknowledging and agreeing solely with respect to Section 2.1(a)(ii) thereof, Binson Lau. The Business Combination Agreement amended, restated and superseded the Original Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps. Subject to the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of IWAC and Btab, on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination and following the domestication: (a) Purchaser Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Purchaser Merger”), with the Company as the surviving company in the Purchaser Merger and, as a result of the Purchaser Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco with the security holders of the Company receiving securities of Pubco with terms substantially equivalent to the terms of their securities of the Company, and (b) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Btab (the “Company Merger”), with Btab as the surviving company in the Company Merger and, as a result of the Company Merger, Btab will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), Pubco expects to be renamed “Btab Ecommerce Holdings, Inc.”

For more information about the Btab Business Combination, see IWAC’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 27, 2024.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been related to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering, and identifying a target for a Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest and earnings on cash marketable securities held in the Trust Account. Our expenses have increased substantially after the closing of our initial public offering as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $24,472. Net loss is comprised primarily of formation and operating costs of $13,746, accounting and legal expenses of $443,204, listing fees of $21,250, insurance expense of $50,000, and administrative expenses due to related party of $30,000, offset by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of 533,728.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $139,980. Net loss is comprised primarily of formation and operating costs of $87,715, accounting and legal expenses of $1,127,079, listing fees of $63,750, insurance expense of $93,850, advertising and marketing expenses of $18,369, and administrative expenses of $330,156 (of which $330,000 is due to related party), offset by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $1,580,939.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had net income of $344,075.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On December 13, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 11,500,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,850,000 warrants to our Prior Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,850,000.

A total of $117,300,000 of the proceeds from the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”).

Transaction costs of the initial public offering amounted to $6,822,078, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting discount, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $497,078 of actual offering costs. Of these amounts, $302,696 was allocated to the public warrants and charged against additional paid-in capital and $6,519,382 were allocated to Class A ordinary shares reducing the initial carrying amount of such shares.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $895,468. Net loss of $139,980 was decreased by the Sponsor waiver of administrative services fees of $330,000 and $705,448 related to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,577,654. Net income of $1,030,372 was decreased by $251,339 of unrealized earnings on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and increased by $1,798,621 relating to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $50,297,550 (including $533,728 of interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account, and $375,000 of deposits for extension payments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $1,580,939 of interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account, and $1,250,000 of deposits for extension payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024).

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of $5,329 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to close our business combination with Btab.

We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. We expect to incur significant costs to complete an initial business combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year from the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor, its affiliates or an affiliate of our management team as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities, other than described below.

We have an agreement to pay our sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination and our liquidation. Both sponsors have waived these payments under this agreement, which the Company accounts for as capital contributions from the both sponsors. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded $30,000 and $0 to Administrative Expense – Related Party on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded $330,000 and $0 to Administrative Expense – Related Party on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively.

The underwriters of the initial public offering are entitled to a deferred fee $4,025,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete our initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Promissory Note – Related Party

In March 2023, the Prior Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Extension Note”) in connection with the extension payment made by the Prior Sponsor to extend the Termination Date from March 13, 2023 to June 13, 2023. The Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of the date the business combination is consummated or the liquidation of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had borrowed $1,150,000, the maximum amount under the Extension Note.

In June 2023, the Prior Sponsor issued an additional unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Second Extension Note”) in connection with the shareholder approval to extend the date which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from June 13, 2023 for up to an additional six months to December 13, 2023. The Second Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of the date the business combination is consummated or the liquidation of the Company. The Second Extension Note has a principal amount up to $960,000, and the Prior Sponsor previously deposited $640,000 pursuant to such note to extend the time by which the Company has to complete an initial Business Combination from June 13, 2023 to October 13, 2023.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had borrowed $1,150,000 under the Extension Note and $640,000 under the Second Extension Note for aggregate borrowings of $1,790,000. These amounts are recorded to Promissory note – related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Promissory Note - Suntone

In connection with the shareholder approval to extend the date which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from June 13, 2023 to December 13, 2023, Sriram assumed the monthly extension deposits subsequent to the Prior Sponsor depositing $640,000 to extend the time by which the Company has to complete an initial business Combination from June 13, 2023 to October 13, 2023. A designee and affiliate of Sriram paid for the final two extension deposits to extend the time by which the Company has to complete an initial Business Combination from October 13, 2023 to December 13, 2023, contributing $320,000 to the Trust Account. The contributions by a designee and affiliate of Sriram were not pursuant to the Second Extension Note and instead are recorded to Promissory note - Suntone as of September 30, 2024 and Due to Suntone as of December 31, 2023 on the consolidated balance sheets.

In December 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Third Extension Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to Sriram, pursuant to which Sriram agreed to loan the Company up to $1,500,000 in connection with the extension of the Company’s Termination Date from December 13, 2023 to December 13, 2024. The Third Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and (b) the date of the liquidation of the Company.

On June 18, 2024, Sriram entered into an assignment of the Third Extension Note (the “Assignment”) by and between Sriram, as assignor, and Suntone, as assignee.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has borrowed $2,489,623 under the Third Extension Note. This amount includes $1,533,284 of amounts previously classified to Due to Suntone on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and $956,339 of additional deposits and payments made by Suntone on behalf of the Company subsequent to the Assignment. These amounts are recorded to Promissory note – Suntone on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
