EXPLANATORY NOTE
A SPAC I Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“ASCA”), A SPAC I Mini Acquisition Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“PubCo”), A SPAC I Mini Sub Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger Sub”), and NewGenIvf Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Legacy NewGenIvf”), entered into a Merger Agreement dated as of February 15, 2023 (as amended on June 12, 2023, December 6, 2023 and March 1, 2024, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for a business combination which was effected in two steps: (i) ASCA reincorporated to British Virgin Islands by merging with and into PubCo, with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”), and (ii) following the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy NewGenIvf, resulting in Legacy NewGenIvf being a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger,” together with Reincorporation Merger, the “Business Combination”).
On February 29, 2024, ASCA, PubCo, Legacy NewGenIvf, the Merger Sub, and certain buyers named therein led by JAK Opportunities VI LLC (collectively, the “Buyers” or “JAK”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which ASCA agreed to issue and sell to the Buyers, in a private placement, an aggregate of up to $3,500,000 principal amount of convertible notes (the “Notes”), consisting of one or more tranches: (i) an initial tranche (the “Initial Tranche”) of an aggregate principal amount of Notes of up to $1,750,000 and including an original issue discount of up to aggregate $122,500, and (ii) subsequent tranches of an aggregate principal amount of Notes of up to $1,750,000 and including an original issue discount of up to aggregate $122,500. The issuance of the Initial Tranche occurred on the date of the closing of the Business Combination. In connection with the issuance, JAK received a certain amount of ordinary shares of the Purchaser (the “Commitment Shares”), which were converted from NewGenIvf ordinary shares issued to JAK in February 2024 and equaled 295,000 ordinary shares of the Purchaser, as well as an additional 100,000 ordinary shares of the Purchaser, which were converted from NewGenIvf ordinary shares transferred by another shareholder to JAK in March 2024. In addition, a subsequent tranche of the Notes in the principal amount of $250,000 was issued and sold to JAK shortly after the closing of the Business Combination. As such, as of the date of this Report, an aggregate principal amount of Notes of $2,000,000 were issued and sold to JAK.
On March 1, 2024, ASCA entered into an acknowledgement agreement (the “Acknowledgement Agreement”) with Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) and Legacy NewGenIvf related to the deferred underwriting commission owed to Chardan in connection with ASCA’s initial public offering. Pursuant to the Acknowledgement Agreement, ASCA will satisfy the deferred underwriting commission at the closing of the Business Combination with Legacy NewGenIvf, by (i) paying One Million U.S. Dollars (US $1,000,000) in cash to Chardan, (ii) issuing 1,500,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Representative Shares”), and (iii) paying Chardan 30% of the gross proceeds from the post-closing financings of ASCA, until the deferred underwriting commission is fully paid within 6 months of the closing. The Acknowledgement Agreement also grants Chardan certain registration rights with respect to the ordinary shares and sole right of first refusal for future financings of ASCA for a period of 12 months following the closing and other considerations not related to ASCA’s business combination with NewGenIvf.
On April 3, 2024, PubCo consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and Legacy NewGenIvf became a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. This Report is being filed in connection with the Business Combination.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Onestop is being engaged as the independent auditor of PubCo. In connection with the Business Combination, Marcum Asia, which was the auditor for A SPAC I Acquisition Corp., was dismissed effective April 3, 2024.
The reports of Marcum Asia on the financial statements of A SPAC I Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Marcum Asia’s audit report contained an explanatory paragraph related to the substantial doubt of going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and through April 3, 2024, the effective date of the Business Combination (the “Effective Date”), there were no “disagreements,” as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F of Form 20-F, with Marcum Asia on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure, which such disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum Asia, would have caused Marcum Asia to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements of A SPAC I Acquisition Corp. for such periods. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and through the Effective Date, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
During the years end December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and through the Effective Date, neither PubCo, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Onestop regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the financial statements of PubCo and neither a written report was provided to PubCo or oral advice was provided that Onestop concluded was an important factor considered by PubCo in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (i) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F of Form 20-F, or a “reportable event,” as that term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
PubCo provided Marcum Asia with a copy of the disclosure it is making in this Report and requested that Marcum Asia furnish PubCo with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to Item 16F(a)(3) of Form 20-F, stating whether Marcum Asia agrees with the statements made by PubCo in this Report, and if not, in which respects Marcum Asia does not agree. A copy of Marcum Asia’s letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated April 9, 2024 is attached as Exhibit 15.1 to this Report.
