RF Dynamic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) will not receive any compensation in connection with the Business Combination. However, in connection with the Business Combination, PubCo will reserve 2,000,000 Incentive Shares to be issued at the closing of the Business Combination, which shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, to be allocated by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. PubCo may also issue all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares, which are not subject to any lock-up agreements or restrictions, directly to the Sponsor, at their direction, at the closing of the Business Combination, in which case such shares may be considered additional consideration to the Sponsor if retained by the Sponsor. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we expect the Sponsor to retain all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the 2,000,000 Incentive Shares are separate from, and in addition to, the $33,025,000 Convertible Notes issued or to be issued by GCL pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements. Since the Sponsor only paid $25,000 for the founders shares it will retain at the closing of the business combination (approximately $0.009 per share) as compared to the $10.00 per share price paid by the public shareholders in the initial public offering of RF Acquisition Corp., the Sponsor will still be able to make a positive rate of return even if the market price of the Ordinary Shares (as defined below) is very low after the Closing (as defined below) while a public shareholder who purchased in the initial public offering would only make a positive rate of return if the trading price exceeds $10.00 per share. Because the founder shares have already been issued, there will not be a material dilution to the equity interests of non-redeeming shareholders upon consummation of the business combination. In addition, the Sponsor also purchased in a private placement 4,450,500 private placement warrants in exchange for a capital contribution of $4,450,500. However, as the private placement warrants have been issued but not yet been exercised, once exercised the private placement warrants could result in substantial dilution to the equity interests of non-redeeming shareholders after the consummation of the Business Combination. See “Interests of the Sponsor and RFAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 23, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF
RF ACQUISITION CORP.
AND
PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 127,799,369 ORDINARY SHARES AND
16,500,000 WARRANTS OF GCL GLOBAL HOLDINGS LTD.

The board of directors of RF Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation has approved an agreement and plan of merger dated October 18, 2023 (as amended on December 1, 2023, December 15, 2023, January 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024, and as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with GCL Global Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“PubCo”), Grand Centrex Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“GCL BVI”), GCL Global Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“GCL Global”), and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, RF Dynamic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). As used herein, references to the “Company” shall mean (a) prior to the completion of the Restructuring (as defined below), GCL BVI, and (b) from and after the completion of the Restructuring, GCL Global.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, PubCo will form a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, to be a wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”), and a Delaware corporation, to be a wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 2”), for the purpose of participating in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into GCL Global, with GCL Global surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”), and the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into RFAC, with RFAC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “SPAC Merger” and together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”, and together with the other transactions and ancillary agreements contemplated by the Merger Agreement, but excluding the Restructuring, the “Transactions”, and the Transactions together with the Restructuring, and any other transactions, documents or agreements contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GCL Group (as defined below) completed a sequential two-step transaction on February 14, 2024, involving (a) the sale by GCL BVI of all its equity interests in GCL Global Pte Ltd (“GCL Global SG”) (representing 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of GCL Global SG) to GCL Global in return for GCL Global shares being issued to the GCL Shareholders (defined below), resulting in (i) GCL Global SG (which in turn holds equity interests in the Group Subsidiaries (as defined in the Merger Agreement), except for Epicsoft Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“Epicsoft Malaysia”)) becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCL Global; and (ii) GCL Shareholders holding all issued and outstanding shares in GCL Global; and (b) the sale by GCL BVI shareholders holding a total of 99.8% of the total outstanding shares of GCL BVI (“GCL Shareholders”) of their equity interests in GCL BVI to GCL Global, resulting in GCL BVI (which in turn holds 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Epicsoft Malaysia) becoming a 99.8%-owned subsidiary of GCL Global (the “Restructuring”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Initial Merger (the “Initial Merger Effective Time”):

•

by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of shares of Merger Sub 1, each share of Merger Sub 1 that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall automatically be converted into an equal number and class of shares of GCL Global, which shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of GCL Global;

•

by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of ordinary shares of GCL Global (the “Company Shares”), each Company Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time (other than any treasury shares or Dissenting Shares), shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive, such number of newly issued ordinary shares of PubCo, par value $0.0001 per share (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) equal to the Company Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole share, as such calculations are set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as to each holder set forth therein (the “Merger Consideration

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares”), and as of the Initial Merger Effective Time, each Company Shareholder (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company (other than any applicable appraisal and dissenter’s rights);

•

if there are any Company Shares that are owned by the Company as treasury shares or any Company Shares owned by any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, such Company Shares shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and

•

each of the Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be canceled and cease to exist in accordance with Section 2.7(a) of the Merger Agreement and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 2.7(a) of the Merger Agreement.

Further, at the effective time of the SPAC Merger (the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”):

•

by virtue of the SPAC Merger and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of securities of Merger Sub 2, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub 2 that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall automatically be converted into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock of RFAC, par value $0.0001 per share (the “RFAC Class A Common Stock”).

•

each unit of RFAC (each, an “RFAC Unit”), comprising one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock, one right to acquire one-tenth of one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock (the “RFAC Public Rights”) and one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share (the “RFAC Public Warrants”), that is outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall be automatically separated, and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock, one RFAC Public Warrant, and one RFAC Public Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable RFAC Unit, which underlying securities of RFAC shall be adjusted in accordance with the applicable terms of the Merger Agreement;

•

immediately following the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of RFAC Class A Common Stock or preferred stock of RFAC, par value $0.0001 per share (such preferred stock, together with RFAC Common Stock, the “RFAC Capital Stock”), each holder of 10 or more RFAC Public Rights shall be deemed to hold one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock for each 10 such RFAC Public Rights (including all RFAC Public Rights that were included in the RFAC Units);

•

immediately following the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the exchange of each RFAC Public Right in accordance with the Merger Agreement, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of RFAC Capital Stock, each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive a newly issued PubCo Ordinary Share and each RFAC stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to RFAC;

•

if there are any shares of RFAC Capital Stock that are owned by RFAC as treasury shares or any shares of RFAC Capital Stock owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of RFAC immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, such shares of RFAC Capital Stock shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment or other consideration therefor; and

•

without any action on the part of any holder of a RFAC Public Warrant, each RFAC Public Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time (but after giving effect to the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement) shall, pursuant to and in accordance with that certain warrant agreement, dated March 23, 2022, by and between RFAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such RFAC Public Warrant shall no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock set forth therein and in substitution thereof such RFAC Public Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire such equal number of PubCo Ordinary Shares, and each PubCo Public Warrant shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such RFAC Public Warrant as of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, except that each PubCo Public Warrant shall be exercisable for shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares rather than RFAC Common Stock.

The Merger Agreement provides that the Price per Company Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to be paid for each Company Share shall be (i) $1,200,000,000 divided by (ii) the Fully-Diluted Company Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fractional PubCo Ordinary Shares will be issued. Instead of the issuance of any fractional share, each Person or entity that would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares that otherwise would be received by such Person or entity) shall have the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to such Person or entity rounded up in the aggregate to the nearest whole number of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

The Merger Agreement includes a covenant for each of RFAC, the Company, and Sponsor to obtain transaction financing (the “Transaction Financing”) in the form of signed agreements for a private placement of equity, or other alternative financing, from Transaction Investors, to be agreed by RFAC and the Company, in an aggregate amount of not less than $20,000,000. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Business Combination is also subject to customary closing conditions and a minimum cash condition requiring that the funds in the RFAC trust account, together with the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any Transaction Financing entered into prior to Closing, be in an amount equal to at least $25 million, after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions and before payment of any RFAC and Company transaction expenses (the “Minimum Cash Condition”), among other terms. The parties to the Merger Agreement intend to obtain Transaction Financing as described in this condition with respect to PubCo, but there are currently no commitments for such financing.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with RFAC, GCL BVI and PubCo, pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to vote all Covered Shares (as therein defined) beneficially owned by it in favor of each Transaction Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement). In addition, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, PubCo, RFAC, GCL BVI and Epicsoft Ventures Pte Ltd entered into the Shareholder Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Shareholder (as therein defined) agreed to vote all Covered Shares (as therein defined) beneficially owned by it in favor of the Mergers and the consummation of the Transactions and the Business Combination. On December 21, 2024, RFAC, PubCo, GCL BVI, GCL Global, and the Sponsor entered into a Waiver Agreement pursuant to which parties have waived a post-closing covenant for PubCo to have a staggered board and four (4) independent directors.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, not including PubCo Ordinary Shares that may be issued in connection with the Transaction Financing (except for the Merger Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements), (i) 127,799,369 PubCo Ordinary Shares (inclusive of the conversion of RFAC Class A Common Stock into PubCo Ordinary Shares) will be issued, assuming no RFAC Class A Common Stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination; and (ii) 126,225,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (inclusive of the conversion of RFAC Class A Common Stock into PubCo Ordinary Shares) will be issued in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the maximum number of RFAC Class A Common Stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The foregoing amounts will change if the actual facts differ from the assumptions set forth above.

RFAC’s units, the RFAC Class A Common Stock, RFAC Public Warrants, and RFAC Public Rights are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “RFACU,” “RFAC,” “RFACW,” and “RFACR” respectively. Each unit consists of one RFAC Class A Common Stock, one RFAC Public Warrant, and one RFAC Public Right. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, any units then outstanding will automatically separate into its constituent Class A common stock, warrants, and rights.

On October 17, 2023, the date preceding the date the Business Combination was publicly announced, the last reported sale price of the RFAC Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market was $10.66 per share, the last reported sale price of RFAC’s warrants on the Nasdaq Global Market was $0.03 per warrant, the last reported sale price of RFAC’s rights on the Nasdaq Global Market was $0.11 per right and the last reported sale price of RFAC’s units on the Nasdaq Global Market was $10.74 per unit. PubCo has applied for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “GCL” and “GCLW.” It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that PubCo receive confirmation from either Nasdaq or the NYSE that PubCo’s Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants have been conditionally approved for listing on either Nasdaq or the NYSE, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met or that PubCo will obtain such confirmation from either Nasdaq or the NYSE. If such listing condition is not

TABLE OF CONTENTS

met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq or NYSE condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.

RFAC’s shareholders are being asked to consider a vote upon the Business Combination and certain Proposals related thereto as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Proposals to approve the Merger Agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the special meeting of shareholders of RF Acquisition Corp. scheduled to be held on [•], 2025.

NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS OR ANY OF THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS.

Telephone No.: +65 6904 0766

To the stockholders of RF Acquisition Corp.:

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of RF Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“RFAC”), on [•], 2025 at [•] Eastern Time, via live audio webcast over the internet at [•], or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the Special Meeting may be adjourned, for the purpose of voting on RFAC’s proposed business combination with PubCo and the Company (as defined below) and the other matters described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. You will be able to attend, vote your shares and submit questions during the Special Meeting via a live webcast available at the website address above.

At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following Proposals:

(1)

The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal (a) to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, by and among RFAC, PubCo, GCL BVI, GCL Global, and the Sponsor and (b) to adopt and approve the Transactions and Business Combination (the “Business Combination Proposal”).

(2)

The Advisory Governance Proposals — to consider and vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain governance provisions in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PubCo (the “PubCo Charter”) in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, and these proposals are being presented in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as four (4) separate sub-proposals under “Governance Proposal A-D” (collectively, the “Advisory Governance Proposals”);

(3)

The Nasdaq Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination (the “Nasdaq Proposal”);

(4)

The Incentive Plan Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the PubCo Equity Incentive Plan, in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C (the “Incentive Plan Proposal”); and

(5)

The Adjournment Proposal — to approve a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, and the Incentive Plan Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Business Combination Proposal is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals as the Advisory Governance Proposals are advisory votes and are not binding on RFAC, PubCo or their respective board of directors. Regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Governance Proposals, PubCo Charter will take effect upon the Closing. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other Proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of RFAC (the “RFAC Board”) has (a) approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and approved the Transactions, (b) approved the other Proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and (c) determined that it is advisable to consummate the Business Combination.

PubCo is offering up to (i) 127,799,369 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) 16,500,000 warrants to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares (“PubCo Public Warrants”) in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Business Combination. PubCo intends to apply to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC with the ticker symbols “GCL” and “GCLW” respectively.

On October 18, 2023, RFAC entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended on December 1, 2023, December 15, 2023, January 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024 and as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with GCL Global Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“PubCo”), Grand Centrex Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“GCL BVI”), GCL Global Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“GCL Global”), and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, RF Dynamic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). As used herein, references to the “Company” shall mean (a) prior to the completion of the Restructuring (as defined below), GCL BVI, and (b) from and after the completion of the Restructuring, GCL Global.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, GCL Group (as defined below) completed the Restructuring (as defined below) on February 14, 2024 in a sequential two-step transaction involving (a) the sale by GCL BVI of all its equity interests in GCL Global Pte Ltd (“GCL Global SG”) (representing 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of GCL Global SG) to GCL Global in return for GCL Global shares being issued to the GCL Shareholders (defined below), resulting in (i) GCL Global SG (which in turn holds equity interests in the Group Subsidiaries (as defined in the Merger Agreement), except for Epicsoft Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“Epicsoft Malaysia”)) becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCL Global; and (ii) GCL Shareholders holding all issued and outstanding shares in GCL Global; and (b) the sale by GCL BVI shareholders holding a total of 99.8% of the total outstanding shares of GCL BVI (“GCL Shareholders”) of their equity interests in GCL BVI to GCL Global, resulting in GCL BVI (which in turn holds 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Epicsoft Malaysia) becoming a 99.8%-owned subsidiary of GCL Global (the “Restructuring”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Initial Merger (the “Initial Merger Effective Time”):

•

by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of ordinary shares of GCL Global (the “Company Shares”), each Company Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time (other than any treasury shares or Dissenting Shares), shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive, such number of newly issued ordinary shares of PubCo, par value $0.0001 per share (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) equal to the Company Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement), rounded up to the nearest whole share, as such calculations are set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as to each holder set forth therein (the “Merger Consideration Shares”), and as of the Initial Merger Effective Time, each Company Shareholder (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company (other than any applicable appraisal and dissenter’s rights);

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Further, at the effective time of the SPAC Merger (the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”):

•

immediately following the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of RFAC Class A Common Stock or preferred stock of RFAC, par value $0.0001 per share (such preferred stock, together with RFAC Class A Common Stock, the “RFAC Capital Stock”), each holder of 10 or more RFAC Public Rights shall be deemed to hold one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock for each 10 such RFAC Public Rights (including all RFAC Public Rights that were included in the RFAC Units);

•

immediately following the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the exchange of each RFAC Public Right in accordance with the Merger Agreement, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of RFAC Capital Stock, each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive a newly issued PubCo Ordinary Share and each RFAC stockholder (“RFAC Stockholder”) shall cease to have any other rights in and to RFAC;

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PubCo Ordinary Shares, and each PubCo Public Warrant shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such RFAC Public Warrant as of immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, except that each PubCo Public Warrant shall be exercisable for shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares rather than RFAC Class A Common Stock.

It is anticipated that upon Closing (assuming no further redemption), (i) existing RFAC Stockholders (other than the Sponsor Related Parties) will own approximately 2.1% of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, (ii) the Company’s existing securityholders will own approximately 93.8% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, and (iii) the Sponsor and Sponsor Related Parties, through their ownership of RFAC Class A Common Stock on the date hereof will own approximately 3.9% of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares.

When RFAC completed its initial public offering on March 28, 2022, RFAC had until March 28, 2023 (or up to September 28, 2023, subject to the exercise of two extensions each for three months). On March 24, 2023, RFAC held a special meeting of the stockholders at which RFAC’s stockholders approved the proposal to amend and restate RFAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from March 28, 2023 to December 28, 2023, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months after March 28, 2023, by depositing into the trust account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $300,000 or (ii) $0.12 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal to amend the charter, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) $0.04 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal to amend the charter, until December 28, 2023 in exchange for a noninterest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. Additionally reflected in the amendment and restatement to the charter, the RFAC Board approved, with the written consent of the sole holder of Class B common stock of RFAC, par value $0.0001 per share (the “RFAC Class B Common Stock”), an amendment to the charter that modifies the existing rights of holders of RFAC Class B Common Stock to convert their shares into RFAC Class A Common Stock by allowing them to convert at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder.

On December 20, 2023, RFAC held a special meeting of the stockholders at which RFAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from December 28, 2023 to September 28, 2024, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months after December 28, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $225,000 or (ii) $0.09 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $75,000 or (ii) $0.03 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, until September 28, 2024 in exchange for a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. Additionally, the stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to remove the net tangible asset requirement in order to expand the methods that RFAC may employ so as to not become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC. On December 27, 2023, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $225,000, which amount was provided by the Sponsor from the funds granted in connection with the Director Promissory Note issued by Melvin Xeng Thou, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination from December 28, 2023 to March 28, 2024. On each of March 25, 2024, April 25, 2024, May 24, 2024, June 25, 2024, July 24, 2024, and August 23, 2024, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $75,000, which amount was provided by the GCL, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to September 28, 2024.

On September 23, 2024, RFAC held a special meeting of the stockholders at which RFAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from September 28, 2024 to March 28, 2025, composed of six (6) monthly extensions after September 28, 2024, by depositing into the Trust Account for each of the six monthly extensions, $0.03 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, until March 28, 2025.

The Adjournment Proposal — to approve a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Only holders of record of Class A common stock of RFAC, par value $0.0001 per share (the “RFAC Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock of RFAC, par value $0.0001 per share (the “RFAC Class B Common Stock” and together with the RFAC Class A Common Stock, the “RFAC Common Stock”) at the close of business on December 23, 2024 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. Please note that you will not be able to attend the Special Meeting in person. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting by visiting [•]. RFAC recommends that you log in at least 15 minutes before the Special Meeting to ensure you are logged in when the meeting starts.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, and the Incentive Plan Proposal is cross conditioned on the approval of each other. The Business Combination Proposal is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals as the Advisory Governance Proposals are advisory votes and are not binding on RFAC, PubCo or their respective board of directors. Regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Governance Proposals, PubCo Charter will take effect upon the Closing. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other Proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Each of these Proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety. Unless waived in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Business Combination is also subject to customary closing conditions and a minimum cash condition requiring that the funds in the RFAC trust account, together with the aggregate amount of gross proceeds from any Transaction Financing entered into prior to Closing, be in an amount equal to at least $25 million, after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions and before payment of any RFAC and Company transaction expenses, among other terms. The parties to the Merger Agreement intend to obtain Transaction Financing in an aggregate amount of not less than $20,000,000, as described in this condition with respect to PubCo, but there are currently no commitments for such financing.

Pursuant to the RFAC Charter, dated March 30, 2023, RFAC is providing its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Business Combination, shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the close of the Business Combination) in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) that holds the proceeds (including interest but less taxes payable) of the IPO. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of $[•] million on [•], 2024, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $[•]. RFAC Public Stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock for cash. This means that RFAC Public Stockholders who hold shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock on or before [•], 2025 (two business days before the Special Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the Special Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. An RFAC Public Stockholder, together with any affiliates or any other person with whom it 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 in the aggregate shares in excess of 15% of the aggregate shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock included in the RFAC Units sold in the IPO. Holders of our outstanding RFAC Public Warrants, RFAC Public Rights, and RFAC Units do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination. Holders of outstanding RFAC Units must separate the underlying RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, and RFAC Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the RFAC Public Shares. The Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

December 28, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $225,000 or (ii) $0.09 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $75,000 or (ii) $0.03 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, until September 28, 2024 in exchange for a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. Additionally, the stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to remove the net tangible asset requirement in order to expand the methods that RFAC may employ so as to not become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC.

In connection therewith the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,363,378 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.72. On December 22, 2023, a total of $14,619,421 in redemption payments were made in connection with the redemption. On December 27, 2023, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $225,000, which amount was provided by the Sponsor from the funds granted in connection with the Director Promissory Note issued by Melvin Xeng Thou, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination from December 28, 2023 to March 28, 2024. On each of March 25, 2024, April 25, 2024, May 24, 2024, June 25, 2024, July 24, 2024, and August 23, 2024, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $75,000, which amount was provided by the GCL, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to September 28, 2024.

In connection therewith the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,170,280 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $11.23, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 13,136,585. On each of October 1, 2024, October 29, 2024, and November 26, 2024, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $47,231, which amount was provided by GCL, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to December 28, 2024.

Following the redemption, RFAC had a total of 1,774,369 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock outstanding held by public shareholders (inclusive of RFAC Class A Common Stock held by EBC). As a result of the redemptions, RFAC now has less liquidity and fewer round-lot holders of RFAC Public Shares, which may make it more difficult for PubCo to meet all of the Nasdaq listing requirements. Since it is a condition to closing to receive the approval for listing by Nasdaq or the NYSE of the shares of PubCo to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the reduced public float may make it more difficult for RFAC to meet all of the Nasdaq listing requirements, and to consummate the Business Combination.

Currently, the Sponsor owns 61.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock. The Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and all other Proposals presented in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock as of the Record Date for the Special Meeting. The RFAC Board has already approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and recommends that RFAC Stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. The approval of all other Proposals presented in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of RFAC Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR STOCKHOLDERS OF RFAC

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to RFAC Stockholders. We urge the RFAC Stockholders to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the proposed Business Combination and the voting procedures for the Special Meeting.

Why am I receiving this proxy statement/ prospectus?

RFAC shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination and certain related Proposals. You are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus because you hold shares of RFAC Common Stock as of the Record Date for the Special Meeting.

RFAC, PubCo, GCL BVI, GCL Global and the Sponsor have agreed to the Business Combination under the terms of the Merger Agreement that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, among other things, PubCo will form (i) Merger Sub 1, which shall be a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo, and (ii) Merger Sub 2, which shall be a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo, for the purpose of participating in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) the Initial Merger, in which Merger Sub 1 shall merge with and into GCL Global, with GCL Global surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, and (b) the SPAC Merger, in which Merger Sub 2 shall merge with and into RFAC, with RFAC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. Further, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 14, 2024, GCL BVI and GCL Global have caused certain other entities as provided in the Merger Agreement to complete the Restructuring.

RFAC’s units, the RFAC Class A Common Stock, the RFAC Public Warrants, and the RFAC Public Rights are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “RFACU,” “RFAC,” “RFACW,” and “RFACR,” respectively. PubCo has applied for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants on Nasdaq or the NYSE under the proposed trading symbols “GCL” and “GCLW.” Each RFAC unit consists of one RFAC Class A Common Stock, one RFAC Public Warrant, and one RFAC Public Right. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, any units then outstanding will automatically separate into its constituent common stock, warrants, and rights. Accordingly, PubCo will not have units outstanding following consummation of the Business Combination.

This proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Special Meeting, along with important information about PubCo and the business of PubCo and its subsidiaries following consummation of the Business Combination. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes carefully and in their entirety.

What Proposals are RFAC Stockholders being asked to vote upon?

At the Special Meeting, RFAC is asking holders of RFAC Common Stock to consider and vote upon the following Proposals:

The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal.”

The Advisory Governance Proposals — to consider and vote upon to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain governance provisions in the PubCo Charter. See the section entitled “The Advisory Governance Proposals.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and voting of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal. See the section entitled “The Adjournment Proposal.”

RFAC shall hold the Special Meeting to consider and vote upon these Proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. Stockholders should read it carefully.

The vote of stockholders is important. Stockholders are encouraged to submit their completed proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement/prospectus.

What equity stake will holders of RFAC Public Shares, holders of Company Shares and the Sponsor hold in PubCo upon completion of the Business Combination?

It is anticipated that upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will become a new public company, and the former holders of securities of RFAC and the Company and the Sponsor shall all become security holders of PubCo.

With respect to the Company’s existing outstanding securities, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and at the Initial Merger Effective Time:

•

by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of Company Shares, each Company Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time (other than any treasury shares or Dissenting Shares), shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration Shares, and as of the Initial Merger Effective Time, each Company Shareholder (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company (other than any applicable appraisal and dissenter’s rights);

•

With respect to RFAC’s existing outstanding securities, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and at the SPAC Merger Effective Time:

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

each RFAC Unit — comprising one share RFAC Class A Common Stock, one RFAC Public Right and one RFAC Public Warrant — that is outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall be automatically separated, and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock, one RFAC Public Warrant, and one RFAC Public Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable RFAC Unit, which underlying securities of RFAC shall be adjusted in accordance with the applicable terms of the Merger Agreement;

•

immediately following the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of RFAC Capital Stock, each holder of 10 or more RFAC Public Rights shall be deemed to hold one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock for each 10 such RFAC Public Rights (including all RFAC Public Rights that were included in the RFAC Units);

•

immediately following the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the exchange of each RFAC Public Right in accordance with the Merger Agreement, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of RFAC Capital Stock each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive a newly issued PubCo Ordinary Share and each RFAC Stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to RFAC;

•

without any action on the part of any holder of a RFAC Public Warrant, each RFAC Public Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time (but after giving effect to the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement) shall, pursuant to and in accordance with that certain warrant agreement, dated March 23, 2022, by and between RFAC and the Trustee, and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such RFAC Public Warrant shall no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock set forth therein and in substitution thereof such RFAC Public Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire such equal number of PubCo Ordinary Shares, and each PubCo Public Warrant shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such RFAC Public Warrant as of immediately prior to the SPAC Merger effective Time, except that each PubCo Public Warrant shall be exercisable for shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares rather than RFAC Class A Common Stock.

We anticipate that, upon the Closing — and as further discussed below — the Sponsor, RFAC’s directors, officers and other initial stockholders and their affiliates will own 2,875,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares, which would be valued at approximately $[•] million, based on the closing price of RFAC Common Stock of $[•] per share on December 23, 2024, the record date of the special meeting, and 4,450,500 warrants of PubCo, which would be valued at approximately $[•], based on the closing price of RFAC Common Stock of $[•] per warrant on December 23, 2024, the record date of the special meeting. In addition, upon the Closing, 2,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares may be issued at the Closing as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, to be allocated as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, with an aggregate value of approximately $[•], based on the closing price of RFAC Common Stock of $[•] per share on December 23, 2024, the record date of the special meeting. Subject to such issuance, at the sole discretion of the Sponsor, the Sponsor’s approximate dollar value of interest is $[•].

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Ordinary Shares that may be issued in connection with the Transaction Financing (except for the Merger Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements), (ii) 11,500,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie the RFAC Public Warrants, (iii) 4,450,500 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie Sponsor’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants, and (iv) 549,500 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie EBC’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Dilutive Interests”), in each case because none of the Dilutive Interests are exercisable or issuable immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. The ownership percentages reflected in the table are based upon the number of Company Shares and shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of [•], 2024, and are subject to the following additional assumptions:

	Share Ownership in PubCo
	Assuming No Further Redemptions		Voting Power and Implied Ownership		50% Maximum Redemptions		Voting Power and Implied Ownership		Maximum Redemptions		Voting Power and Implied Ownership
Company Shareholders(1) .		120,000,000		93.80%		120,000,000		94.50%		120,000,000		95.10%
RFAC Public Stockholders(2)		2,724,369		2.10%		1,937,185		1.50%		1,150,000		0.80%

(1)

Includes PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements.

(2)

Includes 1,150,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon automatic conversion of the RFAC Public Rights at the Closing.

(3)

Includes 2,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued at the Closing, which shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, to be allocated as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. At this time, there is no signed non-redemption agreement, and we are assuming that Sponsor will retain the entire 2,000,000 Incentive Shares at Closing, which are not subject to any lock-up agreements or restrictions, and may be considered additional compensation to the Sponsor.

(4)

Consists of 200,000 EBC Founder Shares.

For purposes of the table above:

No Further Redemptions: This scenario assumes that no RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights in connection with the approval of the Business Combination with respect to their RFAC Public Shares.

50% Maximum Redemptions: This scenario assumes that RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 787,185 RFAC Public Shares, which amount is approximately 50% of the 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares of the RFAC Public Stockholders who can redeem their shares under the maximum redemption scenario, at a price of approximately $11.15 per share.

Maximum Redemptions — This scenario assumes that RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares (100% of the issued, outstanding and unredeemed RFAC Public Shares) in connection with the approval of the Business Combination, at a price of approximately $11.15 per share. This maximum redemption scenario reflects the maximum number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed and allow RFAC to meet the Minimum Cash.

If any of these assumptions are not correct, these percentages will be different.

The table below includes the following Dilutive Interest: (i) 11,500,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie the RFAC Public Warrants, (ii) 4,450,500 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie Sponsor’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) 549,500 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie EBC’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants.

For a summary of all of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

Why is RFAC providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

Under the RFAC Charter, holders of the RFAC Public Shares must have the opportunity to have their RFAC Public Shares redeemed upon the consummation of RFAC’s initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. For business and other reasons, RFAC has elected to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to have their RFAC Public Shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, RFAC is seeking to obtain the approval of its stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow its public stockholders to effectuate redemptions of their RFAC Public Shares in connection with the Closing.

Are there any arrangements to help ensure that there will be sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination?

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Convertible Notes will be convertible into the Company’s fully paid and nonassessable ordinary shares that would be exchanged for Merger Consideration Shares at Closing (the “Conversion Date”). See “The Business Combination Proposal — Transaction Financing.”

How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?

RFAC Stockholders are entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each share of RFAC Common Stock held of record as of December 23, 2024, the Record Date for the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 4,649,369 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock and 0 shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.

What vote is required to approve the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting?

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a RFAC Stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote via the virtual meeting platform at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

The approval of all other Proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of RFAC Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a RFAC Stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote via the virtual meeting platform at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have no effect on the outcome of such Proposals.

The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and all other Proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, we would need no RFAC Public Shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved, as the Sponsor Founder Shares and EBC Founder Shares combined represent an aggregate of 52.8% of the RFAC Class A Common Stock.

What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

Holders of a majority in voting power of RFAC Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the meeting chair has the power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, 2,324,686 shares of RFAC Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

How will the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers vote?

The Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors have agreed to vote any shares of RFAC Common Stock held by them in favor of the Business Combination. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if the Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors had agreed to vote their shares of RFAC Common Stock in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by RFAC Public Stockholders.

As a result, we would need none of the 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved.

What interests do the Sponsor and RFAC’s current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

When considering the RFAC Board’s recommendation to vote in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal, RFAC Stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), those of the RFAC Stockholders. RFAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, in recommending to shareholders that they approve the Business Combination and in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

agreeing to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

The RFAC Charter provides that the doctrine of corporate opportunity will not apply with respect to RFAC or any of its officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of the RFAC Charter or in the future, and RFAC renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of RFAC will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to RFAC, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of RFAC with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of RFAC and (i) such opportunity is one RFAC is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for RFAC to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to RFAC without violating any legal obligation;

•

unless RFAC consummates an initial business combination, RFAC’s officers and directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them on behalf of RFAC (no such expenses were incurred that had not been reimbursed as of December 20, 2024) to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account;

•

the RFAC Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor for $4,450,500 and by EBC for $549,500 will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

•

the Sponsor and EBC have agreed that the RFAC Private Placement Warrants, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after RFAC has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions;

•

the fact that Sponsor paid $25,000 or approximately $0.009 per share for the Sponsor Founder Shares (of which it currently holds 2,875,000), which such Sponsor Founder Shares, if unrestricted and freely tradeable, would be valued at approximately $33.0 million, based on the closing price of RFAC Class A Common Stock of $11.47 on December 20, 2024, and that such shares will be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and that the Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if RFAC Public Stockholders experience a negative return following the consummation of the Business Combination;

•

the fact that if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by March 28, 2025 (the “Final Redemption Date”), RFAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding RFAC Common Stock for cash and liquidating. In such event, the RFAC Common Stock held by the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers, which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25,000 prior to the initial public offering, would be worthless because the Sponsor and all of the current members of the RFAC Board have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any RFAC Common Stock (other than public shares) held by them if RFAC fails to complete a business combination by the Final Redemption Date. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $33.0 million, based upon a closing price of $11.47 per share on Nasdaq on December 20, 2024. As a result of waiving liquidating distributions, if RFAC fails to complete a business combination by the Final Redemption Date, the Sponsor would lose $4,450,500 for the purchase of the RFAC Private Placement Warrants, and $25,000 for the purchase of the Founder Shares;

•

the fact that Sponsor and EBC have agreed, for no consideration, not to redeem any of the Sponsor Founder Shares and EBC Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Placement Warrants and EBC’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants, will be included in the liquidating distribution to RFAC Public Stockholders and the RFAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless;

•

the fact that upon completion of the Business Combination, a business combination marketing fee of $4.025 million will be payable to EBC;

•

if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event RFAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to RFAC if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to RFAC, or a prospective target business with which RFAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per RFAC Class A Common Stock and (ii) the actual amount per RFAC Class A Common Stock held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

•

the fact that the Sponsor has made outstanding loans to RFAC in the aggregate amount of $1,504,559 as of September 30, 2024, which amount the Sponsor will lose to the extent that RFAC is unable to repay such loans if the amount of such loans exceeds the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account if an initial business combination is not completed;

•

the fact that, in connection with various extensions of the deadline by which RFAC must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor has deposited an aggregate of $1,125,000 into the Trust Account, as of December 20, 2024, in exchange for non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory notes issued by RFAC to the Sponsor that will not be repaid in the event that RFAC is unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so;

•

the fact that if RFAC is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the aggregate dollar amount of non-reimbursable funds the Sponsor and its affiliates have at risk that depends on completion of a business combination is $7,435,059, comprised of (i) $25,000, representing the aggregate purchase price paid for the RFAC Common Stock, (ii) $4,450,500, representing the aggregate purchase price paid for Private Placement Units, (iii) $330,000 of unpaid expenses incurred by the Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates in connection with the administrative services agreement as of the date hereof, (iv) $1,504,559, representing the outstanding loans to RFAC made by the Sponsor as of September 30, 2024, and (v) $1,125,000, representing the funds that the Sponsor has deposited into the Trust Account, as of December 20, 2024, in connection with various extensions of the deadline by which RFAC must complete an initial business combination;

•

the fact that RFAC’s existing officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the Business Combination and pursuant to the Merger Agreement; and

•

Tse Meng Ng, RFAC’s current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, will join PubCo Board upon completion of the Business Combination.

•

Warrant on December 20, 2024), out-of-pocket expenses advanced by the Sponsor and loans made by the Sponsor to RFAC would not be repaid to the extent such amounts exceed cash held by RFAC outside of the Trust Account (which such expenses and loans, as of September 30, 2024, amounted to $1,504,559), and EBC would not receive business combination marketing fees amounting to $4.025 million, in the aggregate.

Did the RFAC Board obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

No. The RFAC Board did not obtain a fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. However, RFAC’s management, the members of the RFAC Board and the other representatives of RFAC have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies similar to the Company and reviewed certain financial information of the Company and other relevant financial information selected based on the experience and the professional judgment of RFAC’s management team, which enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the RFAC Board in valuing the Company’s business and assume the risk that the RFAC Board may not have properly valued such business.

What factors did the RFAC Board consider in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

The RFAC Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to:

•

the Company’s market share and ability to solidify brand dominance and position, optimize pricing power, strengthen barriers against competitors, and provide access to new technologies or markets;

•

the proven financial strength of the Company, including the speed to market, speed to a more effective product-market fit, and speed to becoming a growth company;

•

the reputation of the existing Company shareholders and their ability to create synergies and value;

•

the Company’s fit with RFAC culture, core values, management style, openness to innovation and change and other organizational intangibles;

•

the Company’s ability to enter adjacent markets to diversify revenue sources and reduce single-market risks; and

•

the acquiring of new or expanded product lines, processes, and intellectual capital to enhance competitive advantage and diversify offerings.

The RFAC Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to:

•

the Company’s overall financial health risk and the ability to operate as a going concern;

•

risks related to Company directors and shareholders;

•

any potential reputational risk stemming from the Business Combination;

•

risks related to integrating Company operations after the Business Combination;

•

risks relating to litigation, including shareholders’ lawsuits alleging breach of fiduciary duty by the RFAC Board; and

•

risks relating to due diligence including the possibility of the Company failing to provide full disclosures.

See the sections titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The RFAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What happens if I sell my shares of RFAC Common Stock before the Special Meeting?

The Record Date is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of RFAC Common Stock after the Record Date, but before the date of the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with the provisions described herein. If you transfer your shares of RFAC Common Stock prior to the Record Date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting.

What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?

Pursuant to the RFAC Charter, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and RFAC does not otherwise consummate an alternative business combination by March 28, 2025 (or a later date approved by RFAC Stockholders pursuant to the RFAC Charter), RFAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders, subject to payment of RFAC’s tax obligations and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses.

How do the RFAC Public Warrants differ from the RFAC Private Placement Warrants and what are the related risks to any holders of RFAC Public Warrants following the Business Combination?

The RFAC Private Placement Warrants are identical to the RFAC Public Warrants in all material respects, except that the RFAC Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by PubCo so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the RFAC Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. If the RFAC Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the RFAC Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by PubCo in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the RFAC Public Warrants.

Following the Business Combination, PubCo may redeem the PubCo Public Warrants, prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to the holders, thereby significantly impairing the value of such warrants. PubCo will have the ability to redeem outstanding PubCo Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at any time after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders. PubCo will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those PubCo Ordinary Shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the PubCo Public Warrants become redeemable by PubCo, if PubCo has elected to require the exercise of PubCo Public Warrants on a cashless basis, PubCo will not redeem the warrants as described above if the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares upon exercise of PubCo Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws or PubCo is unable to effect such registration or qualification. Redemption of the outstanding PubCo Public Warrants could force you (i) to exercise your PubCo Public Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your PubCo Public Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your PubCo Public Warrants, or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding PubCo Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your PubCo Public Warrants. The closing price for the RFAC Class A Common Stock as of December 20, 2024 was $11.47 and has never exceeded the $18.00 threshold that would trigger the right to redeem the PubCo Public Warrants following the Closing.

PubCo may only call the PubCo Public Warrants for redemption upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each registered holder pursuant to the terms of the RFAC Warrant

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Agreement (as assumed by PubCo at Closing pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement), provided that holders will be able to exercise their PubCo Public Warrants prior to the time of redemption and, at PubCo’s election, any such exercise may be required to be on a cashless basis.

Do I have redemption rights?

Pursuant to the RFAC Charter, holders of RFAC Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the RFAC Charter. As of [•], 2024, based on funds in the Trust Account of $[•] million, this would have amounted to $[•] per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of RFAC Common Stock for cash. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its RFAC Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to RFAC’s transfer agent prior to the Special Meeting. See the section titled “Special Meeting of RFAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your RFAC Public Shares for cash. In connection with the IPO, EBC, the Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any shares of RFAC Common Stock held by them in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Such waivers are standard in transactions of this type and the Sponsor, EBC, and RFAC’s officers and directors did not receive separate consideration for the waiver.

Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

No. You may exercise your redemption rights regardless of whether you vote or, if you vote, irrespective of whether you vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or abstain from voting on the Business Combination Proposal or any other Proposal. As a result, the Merger Agreement and the Transactions can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of the Trading Market.

How do I exercise my redemption rights?

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to [•] Eastern time, on [•], 2025 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your RFAC Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Email: proxy@continentalstock.com.

Please also affirmatively certify in your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock. A holder of the RFAC Public Shares, together with any affiliates any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate shares in excess of 15% of the aggregate RFAC Public Shares, which we refer to as the “15% threshold.” Accordingly, all RFAC Public Shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by an RFAC Public Stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is RFAC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, RFAC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with RFAC’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to RFAC’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that RFAC’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting RFAC’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights with respect to your RFAC Public Shares depends on your particular circumstances. Please see the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of RFAC Public Shares” for additional information.

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

If I am a RFAC Public Warrant holder or RFAC Public Right holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my RFAC Public Warrants or RFAC Public Rights, as applicable?

No. The holders of RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights have no redemption rights with respect to such RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights.

If I am a holder of RFAC Units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my RFAC Units?

No. Holders of outstanding RFAC Units must separate the underlying RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, and RFAC Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the RFAC Public Shares.

If you hold RFAC Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such RFAC Units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, RFAC’s transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such RFAC Units into RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, and RFAC Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the RFAC Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the RFAC Public Shares from the RFAC Units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” above. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your RFAC Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your RFAC Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, RFAC’s transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of RFAC Units to be split and the nominee holding such RFAC Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s deposit withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant RFAC Units and a deposit of an equal number of RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, and RFAC Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the RFAC Public Shares from the RFAC Units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your RFAC Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

No. There are no appraisal rights available to holders of RFAC Class A Common Stock, RFAC Units, RFAC Public Warrants or RFAC Public Rights in connection with the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

If the Business Combination is consummated, the funds held in the Trust Account will be released to:

•

pay RFAC Stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights;

•

pay certain other fees, costs, and expenses (including regulatory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printer fees, and other professional fees) that were incurred by RFAC or the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement;

•

repay any loans owed by RFAC to the Sponsor for any RFAC Transaction Expenses or other administrative expenses incurred by RFAC; and

•

provide for general corporate purposes of PubCo including, but not limited to, working capital for operations of the Company.

What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

There are certain circumstances under which the Merger Agreement may be terminated. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If, as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement or otherwise, RFAC is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction by March 28, 2025 (or a later date approved by RFAC Stockholders pursuant to the RFAC Charter), the RFAC Charter provides that RFAC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the RFAC Public Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) 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 it to pay taxes payable and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, by (B) the total number of then outstanding RFAC Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemptions, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the RFAC Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

RFAC expects that the amount of any distribution its public stockholders will be entitled to receive upon its dissolution will be approximately the same as the amount they would have received if they had redeemed their shares in connection with the Business Combination, subject in each case to RFAC’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Holders of EBC Founder Shares and Sponsor Founder Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to outstanding RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights. Accordingly, the RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights will expire worthless.

When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

The Closing is expected to take place on (a) the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below under the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to the Closing” (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof) or (b) such other date as agreed to by the parties to the Merger Agreement in writing, in each case, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Closing conditions. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by RFAC and/or the Company upon the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

occurrence of certain events. For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal.”

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences to me of the Business Combination?

As described more fully under the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination” below (including the discussion of Section 367(a) of the Code), the parties to the Merger Agreement intend that the exchange by U.S. holders of their RFAC Public Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, taken together with the related transactions, qualifies either as a transfer of property to a corporation under Section 351 of the Code or, in certain circumstances, as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code. However, these treatments are not free from doubt (and in particular the potential for the SPAC Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code is subject to significant factual and legal uncertainties as there is an absence of guidance directly on point as to how the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with investment-type assets, such as RFAC) and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth under the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination,” including the discussion therein regarding the potential application of Section 367(a) of the Code to the SPAC Merger, and in the U.S. federal income tax opinion filed as Exhibit 8.1, and based on customary tax representations obtained from certain parties to the Merger Agreement, it is the opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP, counsel to RFAC, that the SPAC Merger should qualify as part of a Section 351 transaction. However, due to the uncertainties described above and in further detail in the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination,” Winston & Strawn LLP is unable to opine on the qualification of the SPAC Merger as a Section 368(a) reorganization.

Further, it is currently expected that Section 367(a) of the Code will not apply to cause the exchange of RFAC Public Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination to be taxable (provided that a U.S. holder that is a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (as defined in the Treasury regulations) of PubCo enters into a gain recognition agreement with the IRS). However, U.S. holders are cautioned that the potential application of Section 367(a) of the Code to the Business Combination is complex and depends on factors that cannot be determined until the closing of the Business Combination and the interpretation of legal authorities and facts relating to the Business Combination. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take the position that Section 367(a) of the Code applies to cause U.S. holders to recognize gain as a result of the Business Combination or that a court will not agree with such a position of the IRS in the event of litigation.

The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of the RFAC Public Warrants in connection with the Business Combination is uncertain. It is possible that a U.S. holder of RFAC Public Warrants could be treated as exchanging such RFAC Public Warrants for “new” warrants. If so treated, a U.S. holder could be required to recognize gain or loss in such deemed exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the PubCo Public Warrants held by such U.S. holder immediately following the Business Combination and the adjusted tax basis of the RFAC Public Warrants held by such U.S. holder immediately prior to the Business Combination. Alternatively, it is also possible that a U.S. holder of RFAC Public Warrants could be treated as transferring its RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Shares to PubCo for PubCo Public Warrants and PubCo Ordinary Shares in an exchange governed only by Section 351 of the Code. If so treated, a U.S. holder should be required to recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized by such holder (generally, the excess of (x) the sum of the fair market values of the PubCo Public Warrants treated as received by such holder and the PubCo Ordinary Shares received by such holder over (y) such holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Shares treated as having been exchanged therefor) and (ii) the fair market value of the PubCo Public Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. In either case, unless the SPAC Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code then such transfer would not be eligible for

TABLE OF CONTENTS

nonrecognition. The requirements for qualification of the SPAC Merger as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code are more stringent in certain respects than the requirements for qualification as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code. U.S. holders of RFAC Public Warrants are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the treatment of their RFAC Public Warrants in connection with the Business Combination and whether an exchange of RFAC Public Warrants for PubCo Public Warrants qualifies as part of a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

No statutory, administrative or judicial authority directly addresses the treatment of instruments similar to the RFAC Public Rights for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. While we believe that a U.S. holder of RFAC Public Rights should not be required to recognize gain or loss upon the receipt of RFAC Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of the RFAC Public Rights, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with this treatment.

For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Business Combination, see “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to U.S. Federal Income Taxation.”

What do I need to do now?

You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder, rights holder of RFAC, and/or warrant holder of RFAC. Stockholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares of RFAC through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record of RFAC Common Stock on December 23, 2024, the Record Date, you may vote with respect to the Proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus at the Special Meeting via the virtual meeting platform, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote via the virtual meeting platform, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the Special Meeting?

At the Special Meeting, RFAC will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular Proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal, but will have no effect on any other Proposals presented herein. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will have no effect on any of the Proposals presented herein.

What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

Signed and dated proxies received by RFAC without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a Proposal will be voted “FOR” each Proposal presented to the stockholders at the Special Meeting. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the Special Meeting.

If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting, should I return my proxy card instead?

Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please read the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. RFAC believes the Proposals presented to the stockholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide to ensure that your vote is counted.

May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. Stockholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to RFAC’s secretary at the address set forth below so that it is received by RFAC’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting or attend the Special Meeting and vote via the virtual meeting platform. Stockholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to RFAC’s secretary, which must be received by RFAC’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

Upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part, PubCo will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. public company with foreign private issuer status. Even after PubCo no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, as long as PubCo continues to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, PubCo will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

•

the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

•

the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

•

the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

In addition, PubCo will not be required to file annual reports and financial statements with the SEC as promptly as U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, and is not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information.

As a foreign private issuer, PubCo will be permitted to follow home country corporate governance practices instead of certain corporate governance practices required by the Trading Market for U.S.

domestic issuers. Also, upon completion of the Business Combination, PubCo will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Trading Market corporate governance standards and eligible to take advantage of exemptions from certain the Trading Market corporate governance standards.

GCL BVI

GCL BVI is a business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on November 16, 2018 with company number 1998525. The registered office of GCL BVI is at Vistra Corporate Services Centre, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110, British Virgin Islands.

GCL Global

GCL Global Limited is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 8, 2023 with registration number 403166. The registered office of GCL Global is at CO Services Cayman Limited, P.O. Box, 10008, Willow House, Cricket Square, Grand Cayman, KY1-1001, Cayman Islands. Its principal office is located at 29 Tai Seng Avenue #02-01, Natural Cool Lifestyle Hub Singapore 534119 and its telephone number is 65 80427330.

Sponsor

RF Dynamic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the sponsor of RFAC and currently, together with our officers and directors, owns approximately 61.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock. The Sponsor’s sole member and manager is Tse Meng Ng. Tse Meng Ng has additional SPAC experience as he is also the managing member of RF Acquisition Corp II, which is a special purpose acquisition company that consummated its initial public offering on May 21, 2024. RF Acquisition Corp II is still in the process of searching for a target to consummate an initial business combination.

The Sponsor has no direct material and active role in managing the day-to-day activities of RFAC. RFAC is managed by its Chief Executive Officer, Tse Meng Ng, and Chief Financial Officer, Han Hsiung Lim. While Tse Meng Ng is the manager of the Sponsor and Chief Executive Officer of RFAC, the two roles are separate. Since the consummation of RFAC’s initial public offering, the Sponsor has provided financial assistance in the form of promissory notes to RFAC for working capital purposes and business combination deadline extensions.

The Sponsor will not receive any compensation in connection with the Business Combination. However, in connection with the Business Combination, PubCo will reserve 2,000,000 Incentive Shares to be issued at the closing of the Business Combination, which shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, to be allocated by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. PubCo may also issue all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares, which are not subject to any lock-up agreements or restrictions, directly to the Sponsor, at their direction, at the closing of the Business Combination, in which case such shares may be considered additional consideration to the Sponsor if retained by the Sponsor. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we expect the Sponsor to retain all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the 2,000,000 Incentive Shares are separate from, and in addition to, the $33,025,000 Convertible Notes issued or to be issued by GCL pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements. The Sponsor previously purchased (i) an aggregate of 2,875,000 founder shares in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000 ($0.009 per share), and (ii) 4,450,500 private placement warrants in exchange for a capital contribution of $4,450,500. Since the Sponsor initially only paid $25,000 for the founders shares, which it will retain at the closing of the Business Combination, as compared to the $10.00 per share price paid by the public shareholders in the initial public offering of RFAC, the Sponsor will still be able to make a positive rate of return even if the market price of the Ordinary Shares decreases after the Closing. Public shareholders who purchased shares in the initial public offering will only make a positive rate of return if the trading price exceeds $10.00 per share. Because the founder shares have already been issued, there will not be a material dilution to the equity interests of non-redeeming shareholders upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, as the private placement warrants have been issued but not yet been exercised, once exercised the private placement warrants could result in substantial dilution to the equity interests of non-redeeming shareholders after the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Proposals to Be Voted on by RFAC Stockholders

The Business Combination Proposal

RFAC and the Company have agreed to the Business Combination under the terms of the Merger Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2023 (as amended on December 1, 2023, December 15, 2023, January 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, among other things, PubCo will form (i) Merger Sub 1, which shall be a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo, and (ii) Merger Sub 2, which shall be a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo, for the purpose of participating in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) the Initial Merger, in which Merger Sub 1 shall merge with and into GCL Global, with GCL Global surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, and (b) the SPAC Merger, in which Merger Sub 2 shall merge with and into RFAC, with RFAC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. Further, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 14, 2024, GCL BVI and GCL Global have caused certain other entities as provided in the Merger Agreement to complete the Restructuring. For more information about the Merger Agreement and the Transactions (including the Mergers), see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal.”

The Advisory Governance Proposals

As required by SEC guidance requiring that shareholders have the opportunity to present their views on important corporate governance provisions, RFAC is requesting that RFAC Stockholders vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, four separate subproposals to approve certain governance provisions contained in the PubCo Charter, which are separately being presented. These votes are not required by Delaware law or Cayman Islands law. The stockholder votes regarding the Advisory Governance Proposals are advisory votes and are not binding on RFAC, PubCo or their respective board of directors. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Pubco Charter will take effect upon the Closing. Please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Advisory Governance Proposals” for additional information.

The Nasdaq Proposal

The stockholders will vote on a proposal to authorize, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of the PubCo Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “The Nasdaq Proposal” for additional information.

The Incentive Plan Proposal

We are asking our stockholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the PubCo Equity Incentive Plan and the material terms thereunder. RFAC refers to this proposal as the “Incentive Plan Proposal”, as described in more detail in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “The Incentive Plan Proposal” and a copy of the form of the PubCo Equity Incentive Plan is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

The Adjournment Proposal

RFAC Stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal. Please see the section titled “The Adjournment Proposal” for additional information.

•

without any action on the part of any holder of a RFAC Public Warrant, each RFAC Public Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time (but after giving effect to the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with the Merger Agreement) shall, pursuant to and in accordance with that certain warrant agreement, dated March 23, 2022, by and between RFAC and the Trustee, and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such RFAC Public Warrant shall no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock set forth therein and in substitution thereof such RFAC Public Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire such equal number of PubCo Ordinary Shares, and each PubCo Public Warrant shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such RFAC Public Warrant as of immediately prior to the SPAC Merger effective Time, except that each PubCo Public Warrant shall be exercisable for shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares rather than RFAC Class A Common Stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

among other things, PubCo will agree to provide certain Company Shareholders with certain rights relating to the registration for resale of the PubCo Ordinary Shares that they will receive in the Initial Merger.

Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, PubCo, certain holders of Company Shares, and the Sponsor will enter into Lock-Up Agreements substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, such parties will agree, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to Transfer (as defined therein) any PubCo Ordinary Shares until the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date, and (ii) subsequent to the Mergers, (a) the date on which the last sale price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalization and the like) for any 20 Trading Days within any 30 Trading Day period commencing at least 150 days after the consummation of the Mergers, or (b) the date on which PubCo completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of PubCo’s shareholders having the right to exchange their PubCo Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

Transaction Financing

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of RFAC, the Company and Sponsor shall jointly exercise their best efforts to obtain Transaction Financing in the form of signed agreements for a private placement of equity, or other alternative financing, from Transaction Investors, to be agreed by RFAC and the Company, in an aggregate amount of not less than $20,000,000. Between September and December 2024, PubCo, the Company, and Epicsoft Asia Pte. Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Epicsoft Asia”), entered into a convertible note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with each of certain accredited investors (the “Transaction Investors”) pursuant to which the Transaction Investors have agreed to pay the Company an aggregate of $30,025,000 for certain convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) which shall be convertible into the Company’s fully paid and nonassessable ordinary shares that would be exchanged for Merger Consideration Shares at Closing (the “Conversion Date”). In December 2024, PubCo, the Company and GCL Global Pte. Ltd., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“GCL Global SG”) entered into substantially the same Note Purchase Agreement for an additional $3,000,000 of Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements, an additional thirty percentage (30%) of the number of Merger Consideration Shares issued to the Transaction Investors (the “Bonus Shares”) will be held in an escrow account for three (3) years from the Conversion Date. At the end of each of the first three anniversary dates of the Conversion Date, one-third (1/3) of the Bonus Shares shall be released from the escrow account to either the Transaction Investors or to the Company for cancellation, based on the number of Merger Consideration Shares held by the Transaction Investors at the time. In the event that the lowest volume-weighted average closing price of the Merger Consideration Shares is less than $4.50 per share for any ten (10) consecutive trading days during the last month prior to the third anniversary day of the Conversion Date, the Transaction Investors will be entitled to receive certain Top-Up Shares (defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) and, under certain limited circumstances, a cash payment, based on the number of Merger Consideration Shares held on the third anniversary date of the Business Combination. The Transaction Investors will be entitled to receive 110% of the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes in the event that the Business Combination is not consummated on or before March 28, 2025, or if the per share price used to the calculate the exchange ratio for the Business Combination is less than $10.00 per share. Epicsoft Asia has agreed to unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations and performance under $30,025,000 of the Convertible Notes, including but not limited to the Company’s obligation to pay, and GCL Global SG has agreed to unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations and performance under $3,000,000 of the Convertible Notes.

Furthermore, separately from, and in addition to, the Convertible Notes, PubCo will reserve 2,000,000 Incentive Shares to be issued at the closing of the Business Combination, which shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, to be allocated by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. PubCo may also issue all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares, which are not subject to any lock-up agreements or restrictions, directly to the Sponsor, at their direction, at the closing of the Business Combination, in which case such shares may be considered additional

consideration to the Sponsor if retained by the Sponsor. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we expect the Sponsor to retain all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares.

Executive Officers of PubCo

The executive officers of PubCo upon the Closing will be Jacky Choo See Wee, GCL Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Epicsoft Asia and also a majority shareholder, Sebastian Toke, GCL Group Chief Executive Officer, Keith Liu Min Tzau, Deputy GCL Group Chief Executive Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Publishing, Ooi Chee Eng, GCL Group Chief Financial Officer, and Clement Wong, Chief Operating Officer.

Board of Directors of PubCo

RFAC Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination

RFAC was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. RFAC sought to do this by utilizing the networks and industry experience of both its management team and the RFAC Board to identify, acquire and, after its initial business combination, help to build a company in an industry that complements the experience and expertise of its management team.

The RFAC Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the RFAC Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Individual members of the RFAC Board may have given different weight to different factors. After evaluating all criteria stated herein, the Board determined that it was in the best interests of RFAC and its security holders to proceed with the Business Combination. Certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Before reaching its decision, the RFAC Board reviewed the results of the due diligence conducted by its management and RFAC’s advisors, which included:

•

meetings and calls with the management team and advisors of the Company regarding, among other things: (i) the Company’s strategically located operations in Asia; (ii) the Company’s plans to grow revenue through acquisitions, anti-piracy measures and publishing growth; (iii) the general global outlook and growth of the gaming industry; (iv) the Company’s market position as a full-suite ecosystem for gaming development and publishing; (v) the Company’s value proposition in Asia and globally; and (vi) strategic partnerships with industry leaders in Asia;

•

review of material contracts and other material matters of the Company, including, but not limited to, (i) the Company’s key strategic partners in the gaming section, (ii) the terms and conditions of any multi-year partnerships between the Company and key gaming publishers or developers, and (iii) terms and conditions of any material commercial agreements;

•

consultation with RFAC management and its legal counsel and financial advisor;

•

review of historical financial performance of the Company (including unaudited financial statements);

•

review of the Company’s projected revenue increase from $81.1 million for fiscal year 2023 to $150.7 million for fiscal year 2024, including a 76% increase in distribution revenue, 287% in publishing revenue, 5.88% in TDM’s revenue and 52.1% in 2Game’s revenue;

•

review of (i) the Company’s multi-prong approach to increasing revenues and market share in Asia, and (ii) the Company’s plans to deploy its anti-piracy solutions on a global scale, projected to account for more than $65.0 million annually in revenue;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

review of the Company’s plans to enter the $336.4B toys and games market through leveraging the Company’s technology and distribution network; and

•

the Company’s senior and experienced management team and their crucial role in meeting the financial and valuation analyses of the Company.

In the prospectus for the IPO, RFAC identified certain high level, non-exclusive investment criteria that RFAC believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses. As it relates to the Company, the RFAC Board determined that pursuing a potential business combination with the Company would be an attractive opportunity for RFAC and its stockholders for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to:

•

Brand Dominance and Position

•

Pricing Optimization

•

Barriers to Competition

•

Access to New Technologies

•

Operational Efficiencies

•

Synergy and Value Creation

•

High Growth and Significant Revenue Potential

•

Key and Experienced Management

In the course of its deliberations, in addition to the various other risks associated with the business of the Company, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, the RFAC Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative reasons relevant to the Business Combination, including, but not limited to the following:

•

Regulatory Risks

•

Legal and Commercial Risks

•

Operational Risks

•

Reputational Risks

•

Due Diligence Risks

In addition to considering the factors described above, the RFAC Board also considered that:

Interests of Certain Persons. The Sponsor and certain officers and directors of RFAC may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of RFAC Stockholders (see section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and RFAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination”). RFAC’s independent directors on the RFAC audit committee reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and approving, as members of the RFAC audit committee, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein.

Further, the RFAC Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated security holders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Business Combination and/or preparing any report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

After considering the foregoing, the RFAC Board concluded, in its business judgment, that the potential benefits to RFAC and its stockholders relating to the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors and risks relating to the Business Combination.

Organizational Structure

The following diagram illustrates the transaction structure of the Business Combination and the organizational structure of the parties thereto.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

[MISSING IMAGE: fc_rfacshareholder-4c.jpg]

It is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination (assuming no further redemptions):

•

RFAC Stockholders (other than the Sponsor) will own approximately 2.1% of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares,

•

the Company’s existing securityholders will own approximately 93.8% of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares,

•

the Sponsor will own approximately 3.9% of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, and

Pro Forma Voting Power and Implied Ownership Levels — Non Dilutive

We anticipate that, upon the Closing — and as further discussed below — the Sponsor, RFAC’s directors, officers and other initial stockholders and their affiliates will own 2,875,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares, which would be valued at approximately $[•] million, based on the closing price of RFAC Common Stock of $[•] per share on December 23, 2024, the record date of the special meeting, and 4,450,500 warrants of PubCo, which would be valued at approximately $[•], based on the closing price of RFAC Common Stock of $[•] per warrant on December 23, 2024 . In addition, upon the Closing, 2,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares may be issued at the Closing, which shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, to be allocated as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, with an aggregate value of approximately $[•], based on the closing price of RFAC Common Stock of $[•] per share on December 23, 2024, the record date of the special meeting. Subject to such issuance, at the sole discretion of the Sponsor, the Sponsor’s approximate dollar value of interest is $[•].

The following table sets forth varying pro forma voting power and implied ownership levels in PubCo immediately following the completion of the Business Combination assuming no redemptions, 50% of maximum redemptions, and maximum redemptions. The table below does not include (i) any PubCo Ordinary Shares that may be issued in connection with the Transaction Financing (except for the Merger Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements), (ii) 11,500,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie the RFAC Public Warrants, (iii) 4,450,500 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie Sponsor’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants, and (iv) 549,500 PubCo Ordinary Shares that underlie EBC’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Dilutive Interests”), in each case because none of the Dilutive Interests are exercisable or issuable immediately following the consummation of the Business

Combination. The ownership percentages reflected in the table are based upon the number of Company Shares and shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of [•], 2024, and are subject to the following additional assumptions:

For purposes of the table above:

50% Maximum Redemptions: This scenario assumes that RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 787,185 RFAC Public Shares which amount is approximately 50% of the 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares of the RFAC Public Stockholders who can redeem their shares under the maximum redemption scenario, in connection with the approval of the Business Combination, at a price of approximately $11.15 per share.

If any of these assumptions are not correct, these percentages will be different. For instance, the maximum number of RFAC Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed will change if we are able to complete the Transaction Financing to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition.

The following table illustrates the potential impact of redemptions on the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming RFAC Stockholders, exclusive of the Dilutive Interests:

	Redemption Level
	Assuming Maximum Redemptions			Assuming 50% Maximum Redemptions(2)			Assuming No Further Redemptions(3)

This scenario assumes that RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares (100% of the issued, outstanding and unredeemed RFAC Public Shares) in connection with the approval of the Business Combination, at a price of approximately $11.15 per share. This maximum redemption scenario reflects the maximum number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed and allow RFAC to meet the Minimum Cash.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting

The Special Meeting will be held at [•] Eastern time, on [•], 2025, as a virtual meeting. The Special Meeting will be held virtually over the internet by means of a live audio webcast. You will be able to attend, vote your shares and submit questions during the Special Meeting via a live webcast available at [•].

Record Date; Outstanding Shares of RFAC Common Stock, RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights; RFAC Stockholders and RFAC Public Warrant and Right Holders Entitlement to Vote

RFAC has fixed the close of business on December 23, 2024, as the Record Date for determining the RFAC Stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Special Meeting.

As of the close of business on the Record Date there were 4,649,369 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, no shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, 16,500,000 RFAC Warrants, consisting of 11,500,000 RFAC Public Warrants and 5,000,000 RFAC Private Placement Warrants, and 11,500,000 RFAC Public Rights.

Each share of RFAC Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share at the Special Meeting. RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights have no voting rights at the Special Meeting. The Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors own an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of RFAC Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Quorum and Required Vote for RFAC Stockholder Proposals

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to vote at the Special Meeting is present via the virtual meeting platform or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a RFAC Stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of RFAC Common Stock cast by the stockholders present via the virtual meeting platform or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. A RFAC Stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote via the virtual meeting platform at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Adjournment Proposal.

It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not then consummate the Business Combination. If RFAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by March 28, 2025 (or a later date approved by RFAC Stockholders pursuant to the RFAC Charter), RFAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its public stockholders in accordance with the RFAC Charter, subject to payment of RFAC’s tax obligations and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the internet or in person. RFAC has engaged Sodali to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares via the virtual meeting platform if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section titled “Special Meeting of RFAC Stockholders — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Redemption Rights

Under the RFAC Charter, holders of RFAC Common Stock may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the Closing, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), by (b) the total number of the then-issued and outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock. As of [•], this would have amounted to $[•] per share. Holders of RFAC Common Stock on or before [•], 2025 (two business before the Special Meeting) may exercise redemption rights whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. However, under the RFAC Charter, in connection with an initial business combination, a RFAC Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert of as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate shares in excess of 15% of the RFAC Public Shares.

If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock and will not receive PubCo Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its RFAC Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to RFAC’s transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. See the section titled “Special Meeting of RFAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash. A stockholder holding both RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, and RFAC Public Warrants may redeem its RFAC Public Shares but retain the RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

completion of the Business Combination. Such waivers are standard in transactions of this type and the Sponsor, EBC, and RFAC’s officers and directors did not receive separate consideration for the waiver.

Interests of the Sponsor and RFAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

The Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of RFAC Stockholders. These interests include, among other things:

•

the RFAC Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor for $4,450,500 and by EBC for $549,500 will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

•

the fact that Sponsor paid $25,000 or approximately $0.009 per share for the Sponsor Founder Shares (of which it currently holds 2,875,000), which such Sponsor Founder Shares, if unrestricted and freely tradeable, would be valued at approximately $33.0 million, based on the closing price of RFAC Class A Common Stock on December 20, 2024, and that such shares will be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and that the Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if RFAC Public Stockholders experience a negative return following the consummation of the Business Combination;

•

the fact that Sponsor and EBC have agreed not to redeem any of the Sponsor Founder Shares and EBC Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•

if RFAC does not complete an initial business combination by March 28, 2025 (or a later date approved by RFAC Stockholders pursuant to the RFAC Charter), the proceeds from the sale of the RFAC Private Placement Warrants of $5 million, which includes the Sponsor’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants and EBC’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants, will be included in the liquidating distribution to RFAC Public Stockholders and the RFAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless;

•

the fact that upon completion of the Business Combination, a business combination marketing fee of $4.025 million will be payable to EBC;

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per RFAC Class A Common Stock and (ii) the actual amount per RFAC Class A Common Stock held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

•

Tse Meng Ng, RFAC’s current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, will join PubCo Board upon completion of the Business Combination.

The existence of the interests described above may result in a conflict of interest on the part of RFAC’s officers and directors in entering into the Merger Agreement and making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. In particular, the existence of the interests described above may incentivize RFAC’s officers and directors to complete an initial business combination, even if on terms less favorable to RFAC’s stockholders compared to liquidating RFAC, because, among other things, if RFAC is liquidated without completing an initial business combination, the Sponsor Founder Shares and RFAC Private Placement Warrants would be worthless (which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be worth an aggregate of approximately $33.1 million based on the closing price of RFAC Class A Common Stock and RFAC Public Warrant on December 20, 2024), out-of-pocket expenses advanced by the Sponsor and loans made by the Sponsor to RFAC would not be repaid to the extent such amounts exceed cash held by RFAC outside of the Trust Account (which such expenses and loans, as of September 30, 2024, amounted to $1,504,559), and EBC would not receive business combination marketing fees amounting to $4.025 million, in the aggregate.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

Certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers are expected to become directors and/or executive officers of PubCo upon the completion of the Business Combination. Specifically, the following individuals who are currently executive officers of the Company are expected to become executive officers of PubCo upon the completion of the Business Combination, serving in the offices set forth opposite their names below:

	Jacky Choo See Wee			Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Epicsoft Asia
	Sebastian Toke			Group Chief Executive Officer
	Keith Liu Min Tzau			Deputy Group Chief Executive Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Publishing
	Ooi Chee Eng			Group Chief Financial Officer
	Clement Wong			Chief Operating Officer

In addition, Jacky Choo See Wee who is currently director and majority shareholder of the Company and also the Chief Executive Officer of Epicsoft Asia, and Sebastian Toke are expected to join the PubCo Board upon completion of the Business Combination.

Recommendation to Stockholders

The RFAC Board believes that the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting are in the best interests of RFAC and its stockholders and recommends that RFAC Stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For more information about the RFAC Board’s recommendation and the Proposals, see the sections titled “Special Meeting of RFAC Stockholders — Recommendation of the RFAC Board” beginning on page 123 and “The Business Combination Proposal — RFAC Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination” beginning on page 140.

Appraisal/Dissenters’ Rights

RFAC Stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal.

Company Shareholders may be entitled to give notice to the Company prior to the meeting that they wish to dissent to the Business Combination and to receive payment of fair market value for his or her Company Shares if they follow the procedures set out in Section 238 of the Companies Act (2023 revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Companies Act”), noting that any such dissention rights may be limited pursuant to Section 239 of the Cayman Companies Act which states that no such dissention rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the Initial Merger are listed on a national securities exchange. Extracts of relevant sections of the Cayman Companies Act follow:

•

238. (1) A member of a constituent company incorporated under this Act shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of that person’s shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation.

•

239. (1) No rights under section 238 shall be available in respect of the shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent under section 238(5), but this section shall not apply if the holders thereof are required by the terms of a plan of merger or consolidation pursuant to section 233 or 237 to accept for such shares anything except — (a) shares of a surviving or consolidated company, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (b) shares of any other company, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation, are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on a recognized interdealer quotation system or held of record by more than two thousand holders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a) and (b); or (d) any combination of the shares, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. See the subsection titled “The Business Combination — Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination.”

Regulatory Approvals

The Business Combination is not subject to any regulatory requirement or approval, except for (i) filings with the State of Delaware and the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, and (ii) filings required with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements applicable to RFAC, and the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act to disseminate this proxy statement to RFAC Stockholders.

Recent Developments

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On October 30, 2024, RFAC received a written notice from Nasdaq stating that RFAC had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) within the required compliance period. Accordingly, unless RFAC appeals the determination, RFAC’s securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market, trading of RFAC’s securities will be suspended at the opening of business on November 8, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove RFAC’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. On November 5, 2024, RFAC submitted a request for a hearing with the Hearings Panel to appeal the determination. Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, such hearing request stays the suspension of trading of RFAC’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Nasdaq Hearing Panel’s decision. On November 6, 2024, Nasdaq granted RFAC a hearing on December 19, 2024 with the Nasdaq Hearing Panel.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS

The consummation of the Business Combination and the business and financial condition of PubCo subsequent to Closing are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section title “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement/prospectus. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described below, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect RFAC’s ability to effect a business combination, and may have an adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of RFAC and the Company prior to the Business Combination and that of PubCo subsequent to the Business Combination. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Industry

•

Our business will suffer if we are unable to distribute and publish new game titles, “hit” game titles or sequels to such “hit” titles.

•

Our ability to acquire and maintain licenses to intellectual property through distribution agreements with game publishers may affect our revenue and profitability.

•

The increasing importance of digital content delivery exposes us to the risks of that business model, including greater competition from online and mobile games.

•

Our success depends on Jacky Choo See Wee, our GCL Group Chairman and CEO of Epicsoft Asia, and our senior management team. Loss of Mr. Choo’s leadership or services from any of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•

A limited number of customers account for a significant portion of our sales. The loss of a principal customer or other significant business relationship could seriously hurt our business.

•

Increased competition for limited shelf space and promotional support from retailers could affect the success of our business and require us to incur greater expenses to market our titles.

•

Our publishing business is partly dependent on our ability to enter into successful software development arrangements with third parties.

•

If we do not successfully invest in, establish and maintain awareness of our brands and games, or if we incur excessive expenses promoting and maintaining our brands or our games, our business, financial condition, results of operations, or reputation could be harmed.

•

The video game industry is very competitive. If consumers prefer our competitors’ games over the ones we distribute or develop, our operating results could suffer.

•

We intend to grow our business through strategic acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures that involve numerous risks and uncertainties.

Risks Related to the Company’s International Operations, Legal and Regulatory Matters

•

Our business is subject to numerous legal and regulatory risks that could have an adverse impact on our business and prospects.

•

Our international operations are, and our strategy to expand internationally will be, subject to increased challenges and risks.

•

Any failure by us or our vendors to comply with applicable anti-money laundering or other related laws and regulations could damage its business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operation, or subject it to other risks.

•

We are subject to risks associated with operating and investing in Asia.

•

Our revenue and net income may be materially and adversely affected by any economic slowdown or developments in the social, political, regulatory and economic environments in Asia as well as globally.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Uncertainties with respect to the legal system in certain markets in Southeast Asia could adversely affect GCL Companies.

•

We could face uncertain tax liabilities in various jurisdictions where we operate, and suffer adverse financial consequences as a result.

•

Companies and governmental agencies may restrict access to platforms, our website or the Internet generally, which could lead to the loss or slower growth of our gamer base.

Risks Related to the Company Operating in China

•

The uncertainties and quick change of the legal system in China with little advance notice could limit the legal protections available or impose additional requirements and obligations on our business operation in China and Hong Kong, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

•

The gaming industry in China is subject to a variety of PRC laws and regulations, many of which are unsettled and still developing, and which could subject us or our resellers to claims or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

•

Any lack of requisite approvals, licenses, or permits applicable to our resellers’ business may have a material and adverse impact on our resellers’ business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks Related to RFAC and the Business Combination

•

We are a blank check company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

•

If we seek stockholder approval of our Business Combination, our Initial Stockholders and management team have agreed to vote in favor of such Business Combination, regardless of how our RFAC Public Stockholders vote.

•

The Business Combination may not be consummated timely, and RFAC Public Stockholders may be forced to wait more than 24 months (if RFAC has extended the period of time) before receiving distributions from the trust account.

•

We are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from a valuation or appraisal firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying for the business is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view.

•

If third parties bring claims against RFAC, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share redemption price received by stockholders may be less than $10.10.

•

Since the Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of the RFAC Stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate as RFAC’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in RFAC if a business combination is not completed. Accordingly, RFAC’s officers and directors may be incentivized to complete an initial business combination, even on terms less favorable to RFAC’s stockholders than liquidating RFAC.

•

There are risks to the RFAC Stockholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsor of becoming shareholders of PubCo through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of the Company directly in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter and conflicts of interest of the Sponsor.

•

EarlyBirdCapital may have a conflict of interest in connection with our Business Combination.

•

There can be no assurance that PubCo will be able to be approved for listing or comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

•

The Merger Agreement contains a minimum cash requirement for RFAC. This requirement may make it more difficult for RFAC to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Risks Related to PubCo Operating as a Public Company

•

GCL Group’s management team has limited experience managing a public company.

•

In the future, if PubCo fails to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, PubCo may be unable to accurately report its results of operations, meets its reporting obligations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of PubCo’s Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected.

•

If PubCo ceases to qualify as a foreign private issuer, it would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and it would incur significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses that it would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

•

Because PubCo is a foreign private issuer and is exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if it were a domestic issuer.

•

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because PubCo is incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

•

As a “controlled company” under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, PubCo may choose to exempt itself from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.

•

There may be sales of a substantial amount of PubCo Ordinary Shares after the Business Combination by the current shareholders of RF Acquisition Corp. or GCL, and these sales could cause the price of PubCo’s securities to fall.

•

PubCo does not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

•

If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about PubCo, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding PubCo Ordinary Shares adversely, then the price and trading volume of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants could decline.

Risks Related to the Ownership of PubCo Securities After the Business Combination

•

There can be no assurance that the PubCo Ordinary Shares that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination or the PubCo Public Warrants will remain listed on the Trading Market after approval of its listing following the Closing, or that PubCo will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the Trading Market.

•

A market for PubCo’s securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of PubCo’s securities.

•

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of RFAC’s securities or, following the Closing, PubCo’s securities, may decline.

•

Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on PubCo’s business, operating results and stock price.

•

Each of RFAC and the Company have incurred and will incur substantial costs in connection with the Business Combination and related transactions, such as legal, accounting, consulting and financial advisory fees.

For additional detail on these and other risks, see “Risk Factors” starting on page 65 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for year ended March 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on April 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, RFAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of GCL Global issuing shares for the net assets of RFAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of RFAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared assuming two redemption scenarios after giving effect to the Business Combination, as follows:

•

Assuming No Redemptions (Scenario 1): This presentation assumes that no RFAC Public Stockholders exercise their right to redeem their Public Shares (excluding the Redeemed Public Shares) for their pro rata share of the Trust Account, and thus, the full amount held in the Trust Account as of the Closing is available for the Business Combination.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions (Scenario 2): Assumes that RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares (100% of the issued, outstanding and unredeemed RFAC Public Shares) in connection with the approval of the Business Combination, at a price of approximately $11.15 per share. This maximum redemption scenario reflects the maximum number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed and allow RFAC to meet the Minimum Cash.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table illustrates estimated ownership levels in the combined company, immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, based on the two levels of redemptions by the Public Shareholders and the following assumptions:

	Pro Forma Combined (Assuming No Redemptions)				Pro Forma Combined Assuming Maximum Redemption
	Shares		%		Shares		%
RFAC Public Stockholders		2,724,369		2.1%		1,150,000		0.9%
RFAC Initial Stockholders		4,875,000		3.9%		4,875,000		3.9%

Total		127,799,369		100.0%		126,225,000		100.0%

The table below shows possible sources of dilution and the extent of such dilution that non-redeeming RFAC Public Stockholders could experience in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination. In an effort to illustrate the extent of such dilution, the table below assumes the exercise of all RFAC Warrants, which are exercisable for one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The following table illustrates estimated ownership levels in the Combined Company based on the two levels of redemptions by the RFAC Public Stockholders with all possible sources of dilution and the following assumptions:

	Pro Forma Combined (Assuming No Redemptions)				Pro Forma Combined Assuming Maximum Redemption
	Shares		%		Shares		%
RFAC Public Stockholders		2,724,369		1.9%		1,150,000		0.8%

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully review and consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein, in evaluating the Business Combination and the Proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting. The following discussion includes risk factors that apply to the business and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries and will also apply to the business and operations of PubCo following the Closing. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of PubCo following the Closing. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including matters addressed in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, which may also impair our business or financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Industry

Our business will suffer if we are unable to distribute and publish new game titles, “hit” game titles or sequels to such “hit” titles.

Our business depends on distributing and publishing games that consumers will purchase, download and spend time and money playing. We currently distribute and sell to retailers and consumers console games, game codes, and gaming content that are compatible with major gaming consoles such as Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, and personal computers (“PCs”). Our sales and marketing efforts are focused on both distributing more games and improving the experience of the games we currently distribute (for example, through merchandise and localized promotional materials). We generate revenue primarily from distribution of video games in Asia from international PC and video game publishers and studios. We commit to a certain marketing budget to market and promote the games. For games distributed through third-party platforms such as Steam, we are required to pay the platform providers at a pre-determined rate. These costs are expected to remain a significant portion of our cost of revenues. In order to remain profitable, we need to generate sufficient revenue from our existing and new game offerings to offset our ongoing development, sales and marketing and operating costs.

Since the revenue generated from game distributions accounted for approximately 93.3% and 87.9% of our total consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, the GCL Group’s success depends largely on our ability to sell commercially successful “hit” game titles or sequels to such “hit” titles. If we experience any delays in product releases or disruptions following the commercial release of our “hit” titles or their sequels, our operating results will be materially adversely affected. Since our distribution agreements typically require us to commit to a minimum order quantity per game title, we may even experience a loss if demand for the games we distribute falls short of our expectations. Although we are currently one of the biggest video game distributors in Asia, there is no assurance that we can continue to maintain our market leading position in the game distribution industry in Asia if we fail to meet these minimum purchase commitments in our distribution agreements with game publishers. Our brand will also suffer if we fail to continue to distribute and publish consistently high quality and well-received game products and services, and as a result, our revenue and profitability may decline.

The success of our games depends, in part, on unpredictable and constantly changing factors beyond our control including consumer preferences and spending habits, competing games and the availability of other entertainment experiences. If the games we distribute do not meet consumer expectations, or if new games are not brought to market by us in a timely and effective manner, our ability to grow revenue and our financial performance will be adversely affected.

Our ability to successfully distribute and sell games to resellers and their ability to achieve commercial success will depend on our ability to:

•

effectively market the games to existing and new gamers;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

adapt to changing gamers’ preferences and spending habits;

•

attract, retain and motivate talented and experienced game designers, product managers and engineers;

•

efficiently manage the distribution and publishing of new games and features to increase the cadence of introductions without incurring excessive costs;

•

achieve and maintain successful customer engagement and effectively monetize our games;

•

maintain an engaging gaming experience and retain our gamers;

•

compete successfully against a large and growing number of existing market participants;

•

accurately forecast the timing and expense of our operations, including original content development, marketing and customer acquisition, customer adoption and revenue growth; and

•

minimize and quickly identify bugs or outages as a game publisher.

These and other uncertainties make it difficult to know whether we will succeed in continuing to distribute or publish successful games, and launch new games and features in accordance with our operating plan. If we do not succeed in doing so, our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation will suffer.

Our ability to acquire and maintain licenses to intellectual property through distribution agreements with game publishers may affect our revenue and profitability.

Our video game distribution business depends on the distribution agreements we enter into with publishers giving us the licenses or rights to third-party intellectual property for use in the games we distribute or platform to enhance the experience of our gamers. Pursuant to these distribution agreements, the publishers retain all the intellectual properties rights related to the games, and the licenses granted typically limit our use of the intellectual properties to specific uses and for specific time periods, and include other contractual obligations, including the achievement of certain minimum order quantities in order for the license to remain in effect. In many cases, certain intellectual property rights may be licensed to us on a non-exclusive basis, and accordingly, the owners of such intellectual property are free to license such rights to third parties, including our competitors, on terms that may be superior to those offered to us, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage. Competition for these licenses is intense. If we are unable to obtain and remain in compliance with the terms of these licenses or obtain additional licenses on reasonable economic terms, our revenue and profitability may be adversely impacted.

The increasing importance of digital content delivery exposes us to the risks of that business model, including greater competition from online and mobile games.

The increased importance of digital content delivery in our industry, including through subscription-based access to a portfolio of interactive content, increases our potential competition, as the minimum capital needed to produce and publish a digitally delivered game is significantly less than that needed to produce and publish one that is delivered through retail distribution. A continuing shift to digital content delivery could result in a deprioritization of our games by retailers. This shift also requires us to dedicate capital to developing and implementing alternative marketing strategies which may or may not successful. If we are unable to effectively market and distribute our games, our business and operating results will be materially adversely affected.

We rely on our sales channel partners some of whom influence the fee structures for online distribution of our games on their platforms.

We rely on our sales channel partners, some of whom have retained the right to change the fee structures for online distribution of both paid content and free content (including patches and corrections) that we license to them for distribution on their platforms. Such channel partners’ ability to set or influence royalty rates may increase costs, which could negatively affect our operating margins. We may be unable to distribute our content in a cost-effective or profitable manner through such distribution channel, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Outside of fee arrangements, our agreements with our channel partners sometimes give them significant control over other aspects of the distribution of our products and services that we develop for their platform. If our channel partners establish terms that restrict our offerings through their channels, or significantly affect the financial terms on which these products or services are offered to our customers, we may be unable to distribute our product offerings through them or be forced to do so on materially worse financial or business terms in negotiating such various aspects of distribution. Increased competition for digital “shelf space” has put channel partners in more favorable bargaining positions in relation to such terms of distribution.

We rely on third-party retailers to distribute our games and collect revenues generated on their websites or other e-commerce websites and third-party platforms.

Approximately 93.3% and 87.9% of our annual revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was generated from game distributions. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers, if their terms and conditions or pricing change to our detriment, if we violate, or if a platform provider believes that we have violated, the terms and conditions of its platform, or if any of these platforms loses market share or falls out of favor, or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, our business will suffer.

We are subject to the standard and non-negotiated policies and terms of service/publisher agreements of third-party platforms, which govern the promotion, distribution, content, and operation generally of games on the platform. Each platform provider has broad discretion to unilaterally change and interpret its terms of service and other policies with respect to us and other developers, and those changes may be unfavorable to us. A platform provider may also change its fee structure, add fees associated with access to and use of its platform, alter how we are able to advertise on the platform, change how the personal information of its users is made available to application developers on the platform, limit the use of personal information for advertising purposes, or restrict how gamers can share information with their friends on the platform or across platforms. Our business could be harmed if:

•

the platform providers discontinue or limit our access to their platforms;

•

governments or private parties, such as internet providers, impose bandwidth restrictions, increase charges, or restrict or prohibit access to those platforms;

•

the platforms increase the fees they charge us or change the ways in which their fees are determined;

•

the platforms modify their algorithms, discovery mechanisms, communication channels available to developers, respective terms of service, or other policies;

•

the platforms decline in popularity;

•

the platforms adopt changes or updates to their technology that impede integration with other software systems or otherwise require us to modify our technology or update our games in order to ensure gamers can continue to access our games and content with ease;

•

the platforms block or limit access to the genres of games that we provide in any jurisdiction;

•

the platforms change how the personal information of gamers is made available to developers or develop or expand their own competitive offerings; or

•

we are unable to comply with the platform providers’ terms of service.

Changes in the respective terms of service or policy changes of third-party platforms may decrease the visibility or availability of our games, limit our distribution capabilities, prevent access to our existing games, increase our costs to operate on these platforms, or result in the exclusion or limitation of our games. Any such changes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

In addition, third-party platforms typically impose certain file size limitations, restricting our ability to create software with additional features that would result in a larger file size than what the platform providers would support. A larger game file size could also cause gamers to delete our games once the file size grows beyond the capacity of their devices’ storage limitations or could reduce the number of downloads of these games. If our platform providers do not perform their obligations in accordance with our platform

TABLE OF CONTENTS

agreements, we could be adversely impacted. For example, in the past, some of these platform providers have been unavailable for short periods of time, unexpectedly changed their terms or conditions or experienced issues. If any of our third-party service providers is unable to process payments, even for a short period of time, our business could be harmed. These platforms and our third-party online payment service providers may also experience security breaches or other issues with their functionalities. In addition, if we violate, or a platform provider believes we have violated, its terms of service, policies, or standard publisher agreements (or if there is any change or deterioration in our relationship with any of these platform providers), that platform provider could limit or discontinue our access to the platform or we may be exposed to liability or litigation. If these third-party platforms and online payment service providers otherwise experience issues that impact the ability of gamers to download or access our games, it could materially and adversely affect our brands and reputation, as well as our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our success to date was largely attributable to the leadership of industry veteran, Mr. Jacky Choo See Wee, our GCL Group Chairman and CEO of Epicsoft Asia. We rely on Mr. Choo for our continued growth and operation, and the continued development of our strategic direction, based on his experience and connections in the industry in Asia.

We have an experienced senior management team comprised of Sebastian Toke, our GCL Group CEO, Keith Liu Min Tzau, our Deputy GCL Group CEO, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Publishing, Ooi Chee Eng, our GCL Group CFO, and Clement Wong, our Chief Operating Officer. Together, they are responsible for directing and managing daily operations in all aspects of our business, monitoring and supervising compliance and risk management, overseeing financial condition and performance, managing relationships with all stakeholders in our market and formulating business strategies. Loss of services of Mr. Choo or any of our key management members and failure to promptly find suitable replacement will cause our business and operations to suffer.

Our games and other software applications, and our and our vendors’ and other partners’ information technology and other systems and platforms (Steam/PSN and other partner platforms), have, on occasion, experienced failures, errors, defects, or disruptions. Although such events have not had a material impact in the past, future similar events could disrupt our business, impact our games and related software applications, affect our ability to scale our technical infrastructure, diminish our brand and reputation, subject us to liability, and adversely affect our operating results and growth prospects.

Our games may contain errors, bugs, flaws, corrupted data, defects, and other vulnerabilities, some of which may only become apparent after their launch, particularly as we launch new games and rapidly release new features to existing games under tight time constraints. Furthermore, our development and testing processes may not detect errors and vulnerabilities in our games prior to their release. Any such errors, flaws, defects, and vulnerabilities may adversely affect the game experience of our gamers, harm our reputation, cause our gamers to stop playing our games, divert our resources, and delay market acceptance of our games, any of which could result in harm to our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our technology infrastructure is critical to the performance of our games and satisfaction of our gamers and to the general operation of our business. We devote significant resources to network and data security to protect our systems and data. However, our systems may not be adequately designed with the necessary reliability and redundancy to avoid performance delays or outages that could be harmful to our business. We cannot assure you that the measures we take to detect and prevent or hinder cyber-attacks or other security or data breaches, to protect our systems, data and gamer information, and to prevent outages, data loss, and fraud, including a disaster recovery strategy for server, equipment, or systems failure and the use of third parties for certain cybersecurity services, will provide sufficient security or be adequate for our operations. Our vendors and other partners are also subject to the foregoing risks, and we do not have any control over them. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, system disruptions, outages, and other performance problems, including when releasing new software versions or bug fixes, due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, and capacity constraints. Such

TABLE OF CONTENTS

disruptions have not had a material impact to date, however, future disruptions from unauthorized access to, fraudulent manipulation of, or tampering with our or third parties’ computer systems and technological infrastructure, including the data contained therein or transmitted thereby, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Programming errors, defects, and data corruption could also disrupt our operations, adversely affect the experience of our consumers, harm our reputation, cause our gamers to stop playing our games, divert our resources, and delay market acceptance of our games, any of which could result in legal liability to us or harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

If our gamer base and engagement continue to grow, and the number and types of games we offer continue to grow and evolve, we will need an increasing amount of technical infrastructure, including network capacity and computing power, to continue to satisfy our gamers’ needs and operate our business. Such infrastructure expansion may be complex, and unanticipated delays in completing these projects or availability of components may lead to increased project costs, operational inefficiencies, or interruptions in the delivery or degradation of the quality of our games or other operations. In addition, there may be issues related to this infrastructure that are not identified during the testing phases of design and implementation, which may only become evident after we have started to fully use the underlying equipment or software, which could further degrade the gamer experience or increase our costs. As such, we could fail to continue to effectively scale and grow our technical infrastructure to accommodate increased demands. In addition, our business may be subject to interruptions, delays or failures resulting from adverse weather conditions, other natural disasters, power loss, terrorism, cyber-attacks, public health emergencies (including the COVID-19 pandemic or other future health epidemics or contagious disease outbreaks), or other catastrophic events.

We believe that if our gamers have a negative experience with our games, or if our brand or reputation is negatively affected, gamers may be less inclined to continue or to engage with us. As such, a failure or significant interruption in our service would harm our reputation, business, and operating results.

A limited number of customers account for a significant portion of our sales. The loss of a principal customer or other significant business relationship could seriously hurt our business.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, our biggest customer accounted for approximately 17% of our total revenue, with each of the next three biggest customers accounting for more than 10% of our total revenue during the same period. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, sales to our five biggest customers accounted for almost half of our total consolidated revenue, with the top three customers accounting for approximately 13%, 11%, and 10% of our total revenue, respectively. Our sales are made primarily without long-term agreements or other commitments, and our customers may terminate their relationship with us at any time. Certain of our customers may decline to carry products containing mature content. The loss of our relationships with principal customers or a decline in sales to principal customers, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. In addition, if our customers are subject to pricing pressures due to deteriorating demand for our products, competition, or otherwise, such customers may pass those pricing pressures through to us, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Furthermore, our customers may also be placed into bankruptcy, become insolvent, or be liquidated due to economic downturns, global credit contractions, or other factors. Bankruptcies or consolidations of certain large retail customers could seriously hurt our business, including as a result of uncollectible accounts receivable from such customers and the concentration of purchasing power among large retailers. In addition, our results of operations may be adversely affected if certain of our customers who purchase on credit terms are no longer eligible to purchase on such terms due to their financial distress or lack of credit insurance, which may reduce the quantity of products they demand from us.

Increased competition for limited shelf space and promotional support from retailers could affect the success of our business and require us to incur greater expenses to market our titles.

While digital sales are increasingly important to our business, for physical sales, retailers have limited shelf space and promotional resources. Competition is intense among newly introduced interactive

TABLE OF CONTENTS

entertainment software titles for adequate levels of shelf space and promotional support, with most and highest quality shelf space devoted to those products expected to be best sellers. We cannot be certain that our new game products will consistently achieve top seller status. Competition for retail shelf space is expected to continue to increase, which may require us to increase our marketing expenditures to maintain desirable sales levels of our titles. Competitors with more extensive lines and more popular titles may have greater bargaining power with retailers. Accordingly, we may not be able, or we may have to pay more than our competitors, to achieve similar levels of promotional support and shelf space. Similarly, as digital sales increase in importance to our business, there is increasing competition for premium placements of products on websites. Such placement is subject to many similar risks as physical shelf space discussed above.

Our publishing business is partly dependent on our ability to enter into successful software development arrangements with third parties.

The success of our publishing business depends on our ability to continually identify and develop new game titles in a timely fashion. We rely on third-party software developers for the development of most of the game titles we publish. Quality third-party developers are continually in high demand, and those who have co-developed titles for us in the past may not be available to develop software for us in the future. Due to the limited availability of third-party software developers and the limited control that we exercise over them, these developers may not be able to complete game titles for us on a timely basis or within acceptable quality standards, if at all. We have entered into agreements with third parties to acquire the rights to publish and distribute games. These publishing agreements typically require us to make development payments, pay royalties, and satisfy other conditions. Our development payments may not be sufficient to permit developers to develop new software successfully, which could result in material delays and significant increases in our costs to bring particular products to market. Software development costs, promotion and marketing expenses and royalties payable to software developers and third-party licensors have continued to increase and reduce our profit margin. Future sales of our titles may not be sufficient to recover development payments and advances to software developers and licensors, and we may not have adequate financial and other resources to satisfy our contractual commitments to such developers. If we fail to satisfy our obligations under agreements with third-party developers and licensors, the publishing agreements may be terminated or modified in ways that are burdensome to us and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We have engaged, and expect to engage, third-party game development companies to co-develop, co-publish or operate certain games, and if they fail to perform as expected, our business may suffer.

We have in the past and expect in the future to, engage third-party game development companies to co-develop or co-publish certain video games with us. For instance, Atomic Heart, a game launched in February 2023, was co-published by us and Focus Entertainment, a game developer company based in Abu Dhabi. We typically have limited control over the work performed by the development company and are therefore subject to additional risks than if our own employees were developing and operating our games, such that completion of our games and their publication could be delayed due to the development company’s failure to adhere to our milestones and roadmaps, or political or other risks in the foreign country in which the development company operates. If our third-party game development companies fail to complete development milestones in accordance with our game development roadmap, or do not perform in accordance with our agreements with them, it could adversely affect the development of our games that are the subject of that agreement, including delaying their availability for launch and their performance once launched, which could materially and adversely impact our ability to meet our forecasts.

Once a co-published game is launched, we will be reliant on the development company’s ability to maintain an adequate number of knowledgeable and experienced personnel to operate and maintain the co-developed game or existing game successfully and to develop and implement future game updates, patches and bug fixes, as well as provide ongoing support services. If the development companies fail to operate and maintain the co-developed game or existing game, it could adversely affect such game’s performance and gamer satisfaction, and our business may suffer as a result. Further, if the game development companies breached our agreements with them, or unilaterally elected to discontinue providing services, we would have to find a substitute provider or replace the lost services internally, which could disrupt the operation of the games and result in dissatisfied gamers, increased expenses, lost revenues, and other adverse effects.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, a co-published game may incorporate intellectual property owned by the applicable development company. In such cases, we have or will obtain licenses to use the intellectual property as integrated with and into the co-developed game, but we will not own such intellectual property. If the third-party game developer challenged our right to use its intellectual property or the manner in which we use such intellectual property, it could materially and adversely affect our ability to continue to publish the co-developed game.

We believe that establishing and maintaining our brands is critical to maintaining and creating favorable relationships with gamers and content licensors, as well as competing for key talent. Increasing awareness of our brands and recognition of our games is particularly important in connection with our strategic focus on further publishing opportunities and entering game creation and development opportunities. In addition, we have only recently began to expand into publishing and entertainment properties management by bringing forth different monetization solutions for the game intellectual property (the “game IP”). Enhancing our brand awareness in those new business areas requires significant investment and extensive management time to execute successfully. Although we make significant sales and marketing expenditures in connection with the launch of our games, these efforts may not succeed in increasing awareness of our brands or the new games. If we fail to increase and maintain brand awareness and consumer recognition of our games, our potential revenue could be limited, our costs could increase, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, or reputation could suffer.

The video game industry is very competitive. If consumers prefer our competitors’ games over the ones we distribute or develop, our operating results could suffer.

Competition in the video game industry is intense. A relatively small number of “hit” game titles can account for a large portion of total sales revenue in our industry. “Hit” game titles offered by our competitors may take a larger share of consumer spending than we anticipate, which could cause our sales revenue to drop. As our business is also dependent upon our ability to develop “hit” game titles, which require increasing budgets for development and marketing, the availability of significant financial resources has become a major competitive factor in developing and marketing games. Some of our competitors have greater financial, technical, personnel, and other resources than we do and are able to finance larger budgets for development and marketing and make higher offers to licensors and developers for commercially desirable properties. For instance, large game publishers, such as NetEase and Tencent, and global interactive entertainment companies such as Electronic Arts Inc. and Activision Blizzard, Inc. all have games that compete with the games we distribute or develop. Some of these current and potential competitors have significant resources, can incorporate their own strong brands and assets into their games, have a more diversified set of revenue sources than we do and may be less severely affected by changes in consumer preferences, regulations or other developments that may impact our industry.

In addition, both the online and mobile games marketplaces are characterized by frequent product introductions, relatively low barriers to entry, and new and evolving business methods, technologies and platforms for development. Widespread consumer adoption of these new platforms for games and other technological advances in and/or new business or payment models in online or mobile game offerings could negatively affect our sales of console and PC games.

We also compete with a vast number of small companies and individuals who are able to create and launch video games and other content for devices and platforms using relatively limited resources and with relatively limited start-up time or expertise. The proliferation of titles in these open developer channels makes it difficult for us to compete for gamers without substantially increasing our marketing expenses. Our game titles also compete with other forms of entertainment, such as social media and casual games, in addition to motion pictures, television and audio and video products featuring similar themes, online computer programs and other entertainment, which may be less expensive or provide other advantages to consumers. Increasing competition could result in loss of gamers, increasing gamer acquisition and retention costs, and loss of talent, all of which could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We intend to grow our business through strategic acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures that involve numerous risks and uncertainties.

We intend to grow our business through strategic transactions, including acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures, that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. We have previously closed several such transactions, including the acquisition of Martiangear and Starry Jewelry, and are currently in, and in the future expect to continue to be in, various stages of seeking, evaluating, and pursuing additional strategic transactions in Asia. These transactions often require unique approaches to integration due to, among other reasons, the structure of the transactions, the locations, and cultural differences among the other company’s teams and ours, and have required and will continue to require significant attention from our management team. If we are unable to obtain the anticipated benefits from these transactions, or if we encounter difficulties in integrating any acquired operations with our business, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed.

Challenges and risks from such acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures include:

•

our ability to identify, compete effectively for, or complete suitable acquisitions and investments at prices we consider attractive;

•

our ability to estimate accurately the financial effect of acquisitions and investments on our business, our ability to estimate accurately any synergies or the impact on our results of operations of such acquisitions and investments;

•

acquired products, technologies or capabilities, particularly with respect to any that are still in development when acquired, may not perform as expected, may have defects, or may not be integrated into our business as expected;

•

acquired entities or joint ventures may not achieve expected business growth or operate profitably, which could adversely affect our results of operations, and we may be unable to recover investments in any such acquisitions or joint ventures;

•

our assumption of legal or regulatory risks, particularly with respect to smaller businesses that have immature business processes and compliance programs, or litigation we may face with respect to the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, gamers, former stockholders, or other third parties;

•

negative effects on business initiatives and strategies from the changes and potential disruption that may follow the acquisition;

•

diversion of our management’s attention;

•

declining employee morale and retention issues resulting from changes in compensation, or changes in management, reporting relationships, or future prospects;

•

the need to integrate the operations, systems, technologies, products, and personnel of each acquired company, the inefficiencies and lack of control that may result if such integration is delayed or not implemented, and unforeseen difficulties and expenditures that may arise in connection with integration;

•

the difficulty in determining the appropriate purchase price of acquired companies may lead to the overpayment of certain acquisitions and the potential impairment of intangible assets and goodwill acquired in the acquisitions;

•

the difficulty in successfully evaluating and utilizing the acquired products, technology, or personnel;

•

acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures may require us to spend a significant amount of cash, to incur debt, resulting in increased fixed payment obligations and could also result in covenants or other restrictions on us, or to issue capital stock, resulting in dilution of ownership of our stockholders;

•

the need to implement controls, procedures, and policies appropriate for a larger, U.S.-based public company as companies that prior to acquisition may not have as robust controls, procedures, and policies;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the difficulty in accurately forecasting and accounting for the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges and integrating and reporting results for acquired companies that have not historically followed U.S. GAAP;

•

the fact that we may be required to pay contingent consideration in excess of the initial fair value, and contingent consideration may become payable at a time when we do not have sufficient cash available to pay such consideration;

•

the fees and costs of legal, accounting, and other professional advisors engaged by us for such acquisitions, which may be substantial;

•

under purchase accounting, we may be required to write off deferred revenue which may impair our ability to recognize revenue that would have otherwise been recognizable which may impact our financial performance or that of the acquired company;

•

risks associated with our expansion into new international markets and doing business internationally, including those described under the caption “Our international operations are, and our strategy to expand internationally will be, subject to increased challenges and risks”;

•

in the case of foreign acquisitions, the need to integrate operations across different regulatory environment, cultures and languages and to address the particular economic, currency, political, and regulatory risks associated with specific countries;

•

the potential loss of, or harm to, our relationships with employees, gamers, content licensors, and other suppliers as a result of integration of new businesses;

•

our dependence on the accuracy and completeness of statements and disclosures made or actions taken by the companies we acquire or their representatives, when conducting due diligence and evaluating the results of such due diligence;

•

liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including intellectual property and other litigation claims or disputes, cyber and information security vulnerabilities, violations of laws, rules, and regulations, commercial disputes, tax liabilities, and other known and unknown liabilities; and

•

we may not be able to effectively influence the operations of our joint ventures, or we may be exposed to certain liabilities if our joint venture partners do not fulfill their obligations.

The benefits of an acquisition, investment, or joint venture may also take considerable time to develop, and we cannot be certain that any particular transaction will produce the intended benefits, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Our ability to grow through future acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures will depend on the availability of suitable candidates at an acceptable cost, our ability to compete effectively to attract these candidates, and the availability of financing to complete larger transactions. In addition, depending upon the duration and extent of shelter-in-place, travel and other business restrictions adopted by us and imposed by various governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic or other future health epidemics or contagious disease outbreaks, we may encounter challenges in evaluating future acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures and integrating personnel, business practices, and company cultures from acquired companies. Acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures could result in potential dilutive issuances of equity securities, use of significant cash balances or incurrence of debt (and increased interest expense), contingent liabilities or amortization expenses related to intangible assets, or write-offs of goodwill or intangible assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations and dilute the economic and voting rights of our stockholders.

We are or may be subject to contractual covenants which place certain limitations on how we manage our business.

Certain credit agreements we have with banks (the “Credit Agreement”) may limit our ability to take various actions, including incurring additional debt, paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and acquiring or disposing of assets or businesses. Accordingly, we may be restricted from taking actions that management believes would be desirable and in the best interests of us and our stockholders. Our Credit Agreement also requires us to satisfy specified financial covenants and comply with other affirmative and negative

TABLE OF CONTENTS

covenants. A breach of any of the covenants contained in our Credit Agreement could result in an event of default, which would allow our lenders to pursue various remedies, including accelerating the repayment of any outstanding indebtedness under our Credit Agreement.

Risks Related to the Company’s International Operations, Legal and Regulatory Matters

Our business is subject to numerous legal and regulatory risks that could have an adverse impact on our business and prospects.

We currently operate in the large, diverse and complex Southeast Asia. We are subject to various regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Focus areas of regulatory risk that we are exposed to include, among others: (i) evolution of laws and regulations applicable to game distribution and video game development, (ii) various forms of data regulation such as data localization, data portability, cybersecurity and advertising or marketing, (iii) antitrust regulations, (iv) foreign ownership restrictions, (v) artificial intelligence regulation and (vi) regulations regarding the provision of online services, including with respect to the internet, mobile devices and e-commerce.

In addition, we may not be able to obtain all the licenses, permits and approvals that may be necessary to provide our game publishing and those we plans to publish. Because the gaming industry, in which we operate and which includes AI and gaming devices technology, continues to develop, the relevant laws and regulations, are always evolving in certain jurisdictions and their interpretations may be unclear. This can make it difficult for us to assess which licenses and approvals are necessary for our business, or the processes for obtaining such licenses in certain jurisdictions. For these reasons, we also cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain the licenses and approvals that we have previously obtained, or that once they expire we will be able to renew them. We cannot be sure that its interpretations of the rules and their exemptions have always been or will be consistent with those of the local regulators. As we expand our businesses to gaming development area, we may be required to obtain new licenses and will be subject to additional laws and regulations in the markets we plan to operate in. For example, depending on the types of games that we offer and distribute to the customers and the way of distribution, we may need to obtain permits or licenses under the Gambling Control Act 2022 of Singapore and the Films Act 1981 of Singapore. Please refer to “Business — Regulatory Overview” for further information.

Our business is subject to regulations from various regulators within each jurisdiction it operates in, and such regulators may not always act in concert. As a result, we may be subject to requirements which separately may not be materially adverse to us but when taken together could have a material impact on us. In addition, we are subject to differing, and sometimes conflicting, laws and regulations in the markets in which it operates.

In addition, since we operate in different jurisdictions in Asia, we are subject to the risk that regulatory scrutiny or actions in one country may lead to other regulators taking similar actions. We may enter into exclusive regional partnership agreements with our suppliers or customers. Although we are not aware of any violations of competition laws in connection with our business model, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to any inquiry, investigation, or even penalty from regulatory agencies in the future. In the event that a regulatory agency in one of the countries or jurisdictions initiates action against us, it may lead to other regulators taking similar actions.

Our actual or perceived failure to comply with applicable regulation could expose it to regulatory actions, including, but not limited to, potential fines, orders to temporarily or permanently cease all or some of our business activities. Any such actions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our international operations are, and our strategy to expand internationally will be, subject to increased challenges and risks.

Continuing to expand our business to attract gamers outside of Asia is an important element of our business strategy. An important part of targeting international markets is developing offerings that are

TABLE OF CONTENTS

localized and customized for the gamers in those markets. Our ability to expand our business and to attract gamers and talented employees in other international markets we may enter will require considerable management attention and resources and is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, economics, legal systems, alternative dispute systems, regulatory systems, and commercial infrastructures.

Expanding our international focus may subject us to risks that we have not faced before or increase risks that we currently face, including risks associated with:

•

inability to offer certain games in certain foreign countries;

•

recruiting and retaining talented and capable management and employees in foreign countries;

•

challenges caused by distance, language, and cultural differences;

•

developing and customizing games and other offerings that appeal to the tastes and preferences of gamers in international markets;

•

competition from local game makers with intellectual property rights and significant market share in those markets and with a better understanding of gamer preferences;

•

obtaining, utilizing, protecting, defending, and enforcing our intellectual property rights;

•

negotiating agreements with local distribution platforms that are sufficiently economically beneficial to us and protective of our rights;

•

the inability to extend proprietary rights in our brand, content, or technology into new jurisdictions;

•

compliance with applicable foreign laws and regulations, including laws relating to content and consumer protection;

•

compliance with anti-bribery laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

•

credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud;

•

currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•

protectionist laws and business practices that favor local businesses in some countries;

•

double taxation of our international earnings and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in the tax laws of the U.S. or the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate;

•

political, economic, and social instability;

•

public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other future health epidemics or contagious disease outbreaks, which can result in varying impacts to our employees, gamers, vendors, and commercial partners internationally;

•

higher costs associated with doing business internationally;

•

export or import regulations; and

•

trade and tariff restrictions.

If we are unable to manage the complexity of our global operations successfully, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be adversely affected. Additionally, our ability to successfully gain market acceptance in any particular market is uncertain, and the distraction of our senior management team could harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Please refer to “Business — Regulatory Overview” for further information.

Our payment systems may, in certain jurisdictions, be governed by laws and regulations related to payment and financial services activities, including, among other things, laws and regulations relating to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

banking, cross-border and domestic money transmission, anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, electronic funds transfers, systemic integrity risk assessments, cybersecurity of payment processes, import and export restrictions and consumer protection. Our payment system may be susceptible to illegal and improper uses, including money laundering, terrorist financing, fraudulent sales of goods or services, and payments to sanctioned parties. These laws and regulations to which we are now, or in the future may be, subject are highly complex, may be vague, and could change and may be interpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply with them. In addition, we may in the future offer new payment options that may be subject to additional regulations and risks. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, it may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, fines, and higher transaction fees, and we may lose its ability to accept or process online payment, payment card or other related transactions, which could make services on our games less convenient and attractive. In the event of any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

As its payments and financial services related businesses expand, we will need to continue to invest in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and to conduct appropriate risk assessments and implement appropriate controls. Government authorities may scrutinize or seek to bring actions against us if its systems are used for improper or illegal purposes or if its risk management or controls are not adequately assessed, updated, or implemented, and the foregoing could result in financial or reputational harm to our business.

In addition, laws and regulations related to payments and financial services are evolving, and changes in such laws and regulations could affect our ability to provide services on its platform in the manner that it has done, expects to do, or at all. In addition, as we evolve our business or make changes to our operations, it may be subject to additional laws and regulations. Historical or future non-compliance with these laws and regulations could result in significant criminal and civil lawsuits, penalties, forfeiture of significant assets, or other enforcement actions. Costs associated with fines and enforcement actions, as well as reputational harm, changes in compliance requirements, or limits on our ability to expand our product offerings, could harm our business.

We are subject to risks associated with operating and investing in Asia.

We derive a significant portion of its revenue from its operations in Asia, and we intend to continue to develop and expand its business and penetration in the region and outside of the Asia. Our operations and investments in Asia are subject to various risks related to the economic, political and social conditions of the countries in which we operate, including risks related to the following:

•

inconsistent and evolving regulations, licensing and legal requirements may increase our operational risks and cost of operations among the countries in Asia in which we operates;

•

currencies may be devalued or may depreciate or currency restrictions or other restraints on transfer of funds may be imposed;

•

the effects of inflation within Asia generally and/or within any specific country in which we operate may increase our cost of operations;

•

governments or regulators may impose new or more burdensome regulations, taxes or tariffs;

•

political changes may lead to changes in the business, legal and regulatory environments in which we operate;

•

economic downturns, political instability, civil disturbances, war, military conflict, religious or ethnic strife, terrorism and general security concerns may negatively affect our operations;

•

enactment or any increase in the enforcement of regulations, including, but not limited to, those related to personal data protection and localization and cybersecurity, may incur compliance costs;

•

health epidemics, pandemics or disease outbreaks (including the COVID-19 outbreak) may affect our operations and demand for its gaming products; and

•

natural disasters like volcanic eruptions, floods, typhoons and earthquakes may impact our operations severely.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, the laws in the countries in which we operate may change and their interpretation and enforcement may involve significant uncertainties that could limit the reliability of the legal protections available to us. We cannot predict the effects of future developments in the legal regimes in the countries in which we operate.

We may be adversely affected by social, political, regulatory and economic developments in countries in which we operate. We derive a significant portion of its revenue from our operations in Asia and are exposed to political and economic uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks of war, terrorism, nationalism, nullification of contract, changes in interest rates, imposition of capital controls and methods of taxation that affect consumer confidence, consumer spending, consumer discretionary income or changes in consumer purchasing habits. As a result, our revenue and net income could be impacted to a significant extent by economic conditions in Asia and globally.

Substantially all of our assets and operations are located in Asia. Approximately 59.6% and 55.0% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was derived from our operations in Singapore. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in Singapore. The economies in certain Southeast Asian countries differ from most developed markets in many respects, including the level of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, government policy on public order and allocation of resources. In some of the Southeast Asia markets, governments continue to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. Moreover, some local governments also exercise significant control over the economic growth and public order in their respective jurisdictions through allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policies, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the Southeast Asia economy, as a whole, has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in Southeast Asia or in other markets in neighboring regions (such as China and Japan), or in the policies of the governments or of the laws and regulations in each respective market could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of Southeast Asia. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for our game publishing and adversely affect our competitive position. Many of the governments in Southeast Asia have implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over foreign capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Some Southeast Asia markets have historically experienced low growth in their GDP, significant inflation and/or shortages of foreign exchange. We are exposed to the risk of rental and other cost increases due to potential inflation in the markets in which we operate. In the past, some of the governments in Southeast Asia have implemented certain measures, including interest rate adjustments, currency trading band adjustments and exchange rate controls, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in Southeast Asia, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, some Southeast Asia markets have experienced, and may in the future experience, political instability, including strikes, demonstrations, protests, marches, coups d’état, guerilla activity or other types of civil disorder. These instabilities and any adverse changes in the political environment could increase our costs, increase its exposure to legal and business risks, disrupt its office operations or affect its ability to expand our user base.

Uncertainties with respect to the legal system in certain markets in Southeast Asia could adversely affect GCL Companies.

The interpretation and enforcement of laws and regulations involve uncertainties and inconsistencies. Since local administrative and court authorities and in certain cases, independent organizations, have

TABLE OF CONTENTS

significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we may enjoy in many of the localities that we operate in. Moreover, local courts may have broad discretion to reject enforcement of foreign awards. These uncertainties may affect our judgment on the relevance of legal requirements and its ability to enforce our contractual rights or tort claims. In addition, the regulatory uncertainties may be exploited through unmerited or frivolous legal actions or threats in attempts to extract payments or benefits from us.

It is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted or construed to apply to us in Southeast Asia and elsewhere that could restrict our business segments. Scrutiny and regulation of the business segments in which we operate may further increase, and we may be required to devote additional legal and other resources to addressing these regulations. Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in Southeast Asia or elsewhere regarding our business segments may slow the growth of our business segments and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We could face uncertain tax liabilities in various jurisdictions where we operate, and suffer adverse financial consequences as a result.

Our management believes we are in compliance with all applicable tax laws in the various jurisdictions where we are subject to tax, but its tax liabilities could be uncertain, and we could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences if tax authorities do not agree with our interpretation of the applicable tax laws.

Although PubCo is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, the GCL Group collectively operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and pays income taxes according to the tax laws of these jurisdictions. Various factors, some of which are beyond our control, determine its effective tax rate and/or the amount we are required to pay, including changes in or interpretations of tax laws in any given jurisdiction and changes in geographical allocation of income. We accrue income tax liabilities and tax contingencies based upon its best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid after considering its knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances, existing tax laws, its experience with previous audits and settlements, the status of current tax examinations and how the tax authorities view certain issues. Such amounts are included in income taxes payable or deferred income tax liabilities, as appropriate, and are updated over time as more information becomes available.

Our management believes that we are filing tax returns and paying taxes in each jurisdiction where we are required to do so under the laws of such jurisdiction. However, it is possible that the relevant tax authorities in the jurisdictions where we do not file returns may assert that we are required to file tax returns and pay taxes in such jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that the subsidiaries will not be taxed in multiple jurisdictions in the future, and any such taxation in multiple jurisdictions could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we may, from time to time, be subject to inquiries or audits from tax authorities of the relevant jurisdictions on various tax matters, including challenges to positions asserted on income and withholding tax returns. we cannot be certain that the tax authorities will agree with its interpretations of the applicable tax laws, or that the tax authorities will resolve any inquiries in its favor. To the extent the relevant tax authorities do not agree with its interpretation, we may seek to enter into settlements with the tax authorities which may require significant payments and may adversely affect its results of operations or financial condition. we may also appeal against the tax authorities’ determinations to the appropriate governmental authorities, but we cannot be sure we will prevail. If our appeal does not prevail, it may have to make significant payments or otherwise record charges (or reduce tax assets) that could adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Similarly, any adverse or unfavorable determinations by tax authorities on pending inquiries could lead to increased taxation on us, that may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and may also impact its reputation, including but not limited to tax and other regulatory authorities in Southeast Asia.

Companies and governmental agencies may restrict access to platforms, our website or the Internet generally, which could lead to the loss or slower growth of our gamer base.

Our gamers generally need to access the Internet. Access to the Internet in a timely fashion is necessary to provide a satisfactory gamer experience to the gamers of our games. Companies and governmental agencies

TABLE OF CONTENTS

could block access to any platform, our website, or the Internet generally, or could limit the speed of data transmissions, for a number of reasons such as security or confidentiality concerns or regulatory reasons. In addition, telecommunications companies may implement certain measures, such as increased cost or restrictions based on the type or amount of data transmitted, that would impact gamers’ ability to access our games. If companies or governmental entities block or limit such access or otherwise adopt policies restricting gamers from playing our games, our business could be negatively impacted and could lead to the loss or slower growth of our gamer base.

Risks Related to the Company Operating in China

The uncertainties and quick change of the legal system in China with little advance notice could limit the legal protections available or impose additional requirements and obligations on our business operation in Hong Kong, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Although we are based in Singapore and our major markets are in southeast Asia, we have recently formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hainan province in China to support our collaboration efforts with game developers and a game platform in China, and a wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.K. to support our game publishing and game development business in Europe. We are subject to certain risks related to operating business in China. Epicsoft Hong Kong and 2Game, two of the Group Subsidiaries, are located in Hong Kong. The PRC government currently does not directly govern the manner in which Epicsoft Hong Kong and 2Game conduct their business activities outside of mainland China. However, despite the current Hong Kong legal environment of “One Country, Two Systems,” the PRC government may still exert substantial influence, discretion, oversight, and control over the manner in which Hong Kong-based companies must conduct their business activities. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions under the civil law system may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. The legal system in China evolves rapidly and new laws, regulations and rules may be adopted from time to time with or without advance notice. These laws, regulations, and legal requirements are constantly changing and their interpretation and enforcement involve inconsistency and uncertainties. In addition, the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us. Further, the PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business in Hong Kong and may intervene or influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals.

We cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with regard to internet-related industries, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. Such unpredictability towards its contractual, property (including intellectual property) and procedural rights could adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue its operations. Any such intervention in or influence on our business operations or action to exert more oversight and control over securities offerings and other capital markets activities, once taken by the PRC government, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of the PubCo’s securities.

The gaming industry is subject to a variety of laws in China, including but not limited to those regarding gaming, consumer protection, electronic marketing, competition, taxation, intellectual property, export and national security, which are continuously evolving and developing. The scope and interpretation of the laws are or may be applicable to the gaming industry are often uncertain and may be conflicting. There is a risk that existing or future laws may be interpreted in a manner that is not consistent with the gaming industry’s current practices and could have an adverse effect on us or our resellers’ business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

These developments and other developments or regulations, whether existing or to be implemented, may have an adverse effect on our resellers’ business, financial condition, results of operations and growth

TABLE OF CONTENTS

prospects. Furthermore, as uncertainties remain regarding the development, interpretation and implementation of notices, laws and regulations, our resellers may become subject to additional compliance costs and liabilities under such laws and regulations and our resellers may be ordered to rectify or terminate any actions that are deemed illegal by regulatory authorities. Our resellers may also become subject to fines and/or other sanctions which may have material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.

In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in jurisdictions in which our resellers operate, our resellers are required to maintain various approvals, licenses, and permits to operate their business, including but not limited to business license, license related to content offerings, radio and TV programs production and operation license, and value-added telecommunications license. These approvals, licenses, and permits are obtained upon satisfactory compliance with, among other things, the applicable laws and regulations.

If our resellers fail to obtain the necessary licenses, permits and approvals, they may be subject to fines, confiscation of revenues generated from incompliance operations, or the suspension of relevant operations. The games that we distribute may also experience adverse publicity arising from such non-compliance with government regulations that negatively impacts its brand. Our resellers may experience difficulties or failures in obtaining the necessary approvals, licenses, and permits for new spaces or new service offerings. If our resellers fail to obtain the material licenses, our game offerings and business activities could be severely delayed in the PRC market. In addition, there can be no assurance that our resellers will be able to obtain, renew, and/or convert all of the approvals, licenses, and permits required for its existing business operations upon their expiration in a timely manner or at all, which could adversely affect our resellers’ business operations.

Risks Related to RFAC and the Business Combination

We are a blank check company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

We are a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware that has conducted no operations and has generated no revenues to date. Until we complete our Business Combination, we will have no operations and will generate no operating revenues. Because we lack an operating history, you have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective of completing our Business Combination. If we fail to complete our Business Combination, we will never generate any operating revenues.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Initial Stockholders own approximately 61.8% of our outstanding common stock. Our Initial Stockholders and management team may from time to time purchase RFAC Class A Common Stock prior to our Business Combination. The RFAC Charter provides that, if we seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination, such Business Combination will be approved if we receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock voted at such meeting, including the EBC Founder Shares and Sponsor Founder Shares. As a result, in addition to our Initial Stockholders’ Sponsor Founder Shares, and EBC Founder Shares, we would need no shares of the 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares sold in our IPO to be voted in favor of a Business Combination in order to have our Business Combination approved. Accordingly, if we seek stockholder approval of our Business Combination, the agreement by our Initial Stockholders and management team to vote in favor of our Business Combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive the requisite stockholder approval for such Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The RFAC Governing Documents initially provided that RFAC had until 12 months from the closing of its IPO (or 15 or 18 months if RFAC had extended the period of time) to consummate the Business Combination. On December 20, 2023, RFAC held a Special Meeting of its stockholders and the RFAC Stockholders approved the proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to extend the time period RFAC has to consummate its Business Combination for up to nine months, from December 28, 2023, to September 28, 2024, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions. The Company deposited $225,000 into the Trust Account, which amount was provided by the Sponsor from the funds granted in connection with the Director Promissory Note issued by Melvin Xeng Thou, to extend the time period RFAC has to consummate its Business Combination for three months from December 28, 2023 to March 28, 2024. On each of March 25, 2024, April 25, 2024, May 24, 2024, June 25, 2024, July 24, 2024, and August 23, 2024, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $75,000, which amount was provided by the GCL and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to September 28, 2024.

In connection with the with the stockholders’ vote, there were 1,363,378 shares tendered for redemption for an aggregate cash payment of $14,619,421.

Except in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an extension of the time period in which a business combination may be completed, RFAC has no obligation to return funds to investors prior to such date unless it consummates the Business Combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have sought to convert their shares. Only after the expiration of this full time period will holders of RFAC Common Stock be entitled to distributions from the Trust Account if it is unable to complete the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors’ funds may be unavailable to them until after such date and to liquidate your investment, public security holders may be forced to sell their public shares, potentially at a loss.

Unless we complete our Business Combination with an affiliated entity or our board of directors cannot independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses (including with the assistance of financial advisors), we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or from a valuation or appraisal firm that the price we are paying is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view. If no opinion is obtained, our stockholders will be relying on the judgment of our board of directors, who will determine fair market value based on standards generally accepted by the financial community. Such standards used will be disclosed in our proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, related to our Business Combination.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability continue as a “going concern.”

As of September 30, 2024, we had $18,452 in cash and a working capital deficit of $6,658,097. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our finance and acquisition

TABLE OF CONTENTS

plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to consummate the Business Combination will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on RFAC’s operating results and stock price.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective due to a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting in connection with lack of controls to assure the accuracy and completeness of accrued expenses and classification and presentation of expense reimbursement accounting.

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed by an external consultant with no oversight by a professional with accounting expertise. We expect to be materially dependent upon a third party to provide us with accounting consulting services for the foreseeable future. If RFAC is not able to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, it may be subject to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of RFAC common shares.

There is no guarantee that a stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its RFAC Public Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in our share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of RFAC might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the RFAC Public Shares after the consummation of the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A stockholder should consult the stockholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

If third parties bring claims against RFAC, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share redemption price received by stockholders may be less than $10.10.

RFAC’s placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against RFAC. Although RFAC will seek to have all vendors and service providers RFAC engages and prospective target businesses RFAC negotiates with execute agreements with RFAC waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of RFAC Public Stockholders, they may not execute such agreements. Furthermore, even if such entities execute such agreements with RFAC,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

they may seek recourse against the Trust Account. A court may not uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of RFAC Public Stockholders.

Additionally, if RFAC is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against RFAC which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in RFAC’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of the RFAC Stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, RFAC may not be able to return to RFAC Public Stockholders at least $10.10. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for RFAC’s initial business combination, including the Business Combination, and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.10 per RFAC Public Share.

When you consider the recommendation of the RFAC Board in favor of approval of the Proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors have interests that are different from, or in addition to, those of the RFAC Stockholders and warrant holders generally. The RFAC Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to RFAC Stockholders that they vote in favor of the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. RFAC Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Proposals, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

•

the RFAC Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor for $4,450,500 and by EBC for $549,500 will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if the Business Combination is not consummated and that the Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if RFAC Public Stockholders experience a negative return following the consummation of the Business Combination;

•

the fact that upon completion of the Business Combination, a business combination marketing fee of $4.025 million will be payable to EBC;

•

the fact that RFAC’s existing officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the business combination and pursuant to the Merger Agreement;

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of RFAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of RFAC and its stockholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and RFAC’s Directors, Officers and Affiliates in the Business Combination” for a discussion of these considerations.

The financial and personal interests of the Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting the Company as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with the Company and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of the RFAC Board to vote for the Proposals, its stockholders should consider these interests. The existence of the interests described above may result in a conflict of interest on the part of RFAC’s officers and directors in entering into the Merger Agreement and making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. In particular, the existence of the interests described above may incentivize RFAC’s officers and directors to complete an initial business combination, even if on terms less favorable to RFAC’s stockholders compared to liquidating RFAC, because, among other things, if RFAC is liquidated without completing an initial business combination, the Sponsor Founder Shares would be worthless (which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be worth an aggregate of approximately $33.0 million based on the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

closing price of RFAC Class A Common Stock of $11.47 on December 20, 2024), out-of-pocket expenses advanced by the Sponsor and loans made by the Sponsor to RFAC would not be repaid to the extent such amounts exceed cash held by RFAC outside of the Trust Account (which such expenses and loans, as of September 30, 2024, amounted to $1,504,559), and EBC would not receive business combination marketing fees amounting to $4.025 million, in the aggregate.

Because there is no independent third-party underwriter involved in the Business Combination or the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants in connection therewith, investors will not receive the benefit of any outside independent review of RFAC’s and the Company’s respective finances and operations.

Underwritten public offerings of securities conducted by a licensed broker-dealer are subjected to a due diligence review by the underwriter or dealer manager to satisfy statutory duties under the Securities Act, the rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and the national securities exchange where such securities are listed. Additionally, underwriters or dealer-managers conducting such public offerings are subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed in connection with the public offering. As no such review will be conducted in connection with the Business Combination, the RFAC Stockholders must rely on the information in this proxy statement/prospectus and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in a public securities offering. Although RFAC performed a due diligence review and investigation of the Company in connection with the Business Combination, RFAC has different incentives and objectives in the Business Combination than an underwriter would in a traditional initial public offering. The lack of an independent due diligence review and investigation may increase the risk of an investment in PubCo because it may not have uncovered facts that would be important to a potential investor.

In addition, because PubCo will not become a public reporting company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, securities or industry analysts may not provide, or may be less likely to provide, coverage of PubCo. Investment banks may also be less likely to agree to underwrite securities offerings on behalf of PubCo than they might if PubCo became a public reporting company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, because they may be less familiar with PubCo as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for the PubCo’s Ordinary Shares could have an adverse effect on PubCo’s ability to develop a liquid market for PubCo’s Ordinary Shares.

Past performance by our management team and their affiliates may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in us.

Information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with, our management team or businesses associated with them is presented for informational purposes only. Past performance by our management team is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business combination we may consummate or (ii) that we located a suitable candidate for our Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of the performance of our management team’s or businesses associated with them as indicative of our future performance of an investment in us or the returns we will, or is likely to, generate going forward.

EBC may have a conflict of interest in connection with our Business Combination.

We have engaged EBC to assist us in connection with our Business Combination. We will pay EBC a cash fee for such services in an aggregate amount equal to up to 3.5% of the total gross proceeds raised in the offering only if we consummate our Business Combination. The RFAC Private Placement Warrants purchased by EBC and/or its designees and the EBC Founder Shares issued to EBC and/or its designees will

TABLE OF CONTENTS

also be worthless if we do not consummate a Business Combination. These financial interests may result in EBC having a conflict of interest when providing the services to us in connection with a Business Combination.

There can be no assurance that PubCo will be able to be approved for listing on either Nasdaq or the NYSE, or comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq or the NYSE.

PubCo’s eligibility for listing after the Business Combination may depend on the number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock that are redeemed. If PubCo is unable to have its securities listed on Nasdaq or the NYSE, RFAC and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for PubCo Ordinary Shares that are received in exchange for their shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock;

•

a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

•

a decreased ability of PubCo to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The exercise of the RFAC Board’s discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Merger Agreement and related agreements, including Closing conditions, may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the RFAC Stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require RFAC to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by the Company or to waive rights that RFAC is entitled to under the Merger Agreement, including those related to Closing conditions. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of the Company’s businesses or a request by RFAC to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and would entitle RFAC to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at RFAC’s discretion, acting through the RFAC Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for RFAC and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, RFAC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that the RFAC Board would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, RFAC will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit RFAC Stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

While RFAC and the Company work to complete the Business Combination, the Company’s management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities.

Successful completion of the Business Combination may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources of the Company. The diversion of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could harm the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and PubCo’s following the Business Combination. In addition, uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on the Company’s employees, consultants, customers, suppliers, partners, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on PubCo following the Business Combination. These uncertainties may impair PubCo’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the completion of the Business Combination.

We may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete a Business Combination, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition and thus negatively impact the value of our stockholders’ investment in us.

Although we have no commitments as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus to issue any notes or other debt securities, or to otherwise incur outstanding debt following our IPO, we may choose to incur

TABLE OF CONTENTS

substantial debt to complete our Business Combination. We and our officers have agreed that we will not incur any indebtedness unless we have obtained from the lender a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to the monies held in the Trust Account. As such, no issuance of debt will affect the per share amount available for redemption from the Trust Account. Nevertheless, the incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:

•

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

•

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

•

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

•

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;

•

our inability to pay dividends on RFAC Class A Common Stock;

•

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on RFAC Class A Common Stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

•

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

•

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

•

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our Business Combination, and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our Business Combination, and results of operations.

We may only be able to complete one business combination with the proceeds from our IPO and the RFAC Private Placements, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business which may have a limited number of products or services. This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operations and profitability.

As of December 31, 2022, of the net proceeds from our IPO and the RFAC Private Placements, $117,724,476 was available to complete our Business Combination and pay related fees and expenses. On March 22, 2023, the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights in connection with a special meeting. A total of 7,391,973 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock were redeemed and $76,054,240 in redemption payments made in connection with the special meeting, leaving a total of 4,108,027 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock outstanding and $42,266,506 in the Trust Account after redemptions.

On December 20, 2023, RFAC held another special meeting of the stockholders, pursuant to which the stockholders of record voted on an extension amendment proposal and net tangible asset amendment

TABLE OF CONTENTS

proposal. In connection with the special meeting, the stockholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 1,363,378 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $14,619,421. Subsequent to the redemptions, approximately $29,430,708 remained in the Trust Account of RFAC (excluding any extension payments made by the Sponsor). On December 27, 2023, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $225,000, which amount was provided by the Sponsor from the funds granted in connection with the Director Promissory Note issued by Melvin Xeng Thou, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination from December 28, 2023 to March 28, 2024. On each of March 25, 2024, April 25, 2024, May 24, 2024, June 25, 2024, July 24, 2024, and August 23, 2024, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $75,000, which amount was provided by the GCL and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to September 28, 2024.

On September 23, 2024, RFAC held another special meeting of the stockholders at which RFAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from September 28, 2024 to March 28, 2025, composed of six (6) monthly extensions after September 28, 2024, by depositing into the Trust Account for each of the six monthly extensions, $0.03 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, until March 28, 2025. In connection therewith the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,170,280 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $11.23, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 13,136,585. Following the redemption, approximately $17,672,550 remains in the Trust Account. On each of October 1, 2024, October 29, 2024, and November 26, 2024, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $47,231, which amount was provided by GCL, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to December 28, 2024.

We may effectuate our Business Combination with a single target business or multiple target businesses simultaneously or within a short period of time. However, we may not be able to effectuate our Business Combination with more than one target business because of various factors, including the existence of complex accounting issues and the requirement that we prepare and file pro forma financial statements with the SEC that present operating results and the financial condition of several target businesses as if they had been operated on a combined basis. By completing our Business Combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be:

•

Solely dependent upon the performance of a single business, property or asset; or

•

Dependent upon the development of market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.

This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our Business Combination.

We may attempt to complete our Business Combination with a private company about which little information is available, which may result in a Business Combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all.

In pursuing our business combination strategy, we may seek to effectuate our Business Combination with a privately held company. Very little public information generally exists about private companies, and we could be required to make our decision on whether to pursue a potential Business Combination on the basis of limited information, which may result in a Business Combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all.

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

The federal proxy rules require that the proxy statement with respect to the vote on a Business Combination include historical and pro forma financial statement disclosure. We will include the same

TABLE OF CONTENTS

financial statement disclosure in connection with our tender offer documents, whether or not they are required under the tender offer rules. These financial statements may be required to be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, U.S. GAAP, depending on the circumstances and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire because some targets may be unable to provide such financial statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.

Certain agreements related to our IPO may be amended without stockholder approval.

Each of the agreements related to our Initial Public Offering to which we are a party, other than the warrant agreement and the investment management trust agreement, may be amended without stockholder approval. Such agreements are: the underwriting agreement; the letter agreement among us and our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, officers and directors; the registration rights agreement among us, our Initial Stockholders and EBC; the RFAC Private Placement Warrant Purchase Agreements between us, our Sponsor and EBC; and the administrative services agreement among us, our Sponsor and an affiliate of our Sponsor. These agreements contain various provisions that our RFAC Public Stockholders might deem to be material. For example, our letter agreement, the RFAC Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement and the underwriting agreement contain certain lock-up provisions with respect to the EBC Founder Shares, RFAC Private Placement Warrants and other securities held by EBC, our Initial Stockholders, Sponsor, officers and directors. Amendments to such agreements would require the consent of the applicable parties thereto and would need to be approved by our board of directors, which may do so for a variety of reasons, including to facilitate our Business Combination. While we do not expect our board of directors to approve any amendment to any of these agreements prior to our Business Combination, it may be possible that our board of directors, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to any such agreement. Any amendment entered into in connection with the consummation of our Business Combination will be disclosed in our proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, related to such Business Combination, and any other material amendment to any of our material agreements will be disclosed in a filing with the SEC. Any such amendments would not require approval from our stockholders, may result in the completion of our Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible, and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities. For example, amendments to the lock-up provision discussed above may result in our Initial Stockholders and EBC selling their securities earlier than they would otherwise be permitted, which may have an adverse effect on the price of our securities.

Financial projections with respect to the Company may not prove to be reflective of actual financial results.

In connection with the Business Combination, the RFAC Board considered, among other things, internal financial forecasts prepared by, or at the direction of, the management of the Company, the key elements of which are set forth in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — RFAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.” The Company does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of its future performance, revenue, financial condition or other results. These projections and forecasts are inherently based on various estimates and assumptions that are subject to the judgment of those preparing them. These projections and forecasts are also subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that PubCo’s financial condition, including its cash flows or results of operations, will be consistent with those set forth in such projections and forecasts, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares or the business, financial condition and results of operations of PubCo following the Closing.

The Merger Agreement contains a minimum cash requirement for RFAC. This requirement may make it more difficult for RFAC to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that the Company’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, a minimum cash requirement, which requires that, at or as of immediately prior to the Closing, the aggregate cash of RFAC, after deducting the aggregate amount

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of all payments required to be made by RFAC in connection with redemptions by RFAC Public Stockholders and before payment of any RFAC and Company transaction expenses, is equal to at least $25 million.

If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate, and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If such condition is waived and the Business Combination is consummated, the cash held by PubCo and its subsidiaries in the aggregate, after the Closing may not be sufficient to allow them to operate and pay their expenses and liabilities as they become due. Furthermore, PubCo’s affiliates are not obligated to make loans to it or invest in it in the future after the Business Combination. The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of RFAC Public Stockholders may make PubCo unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize its capital structure after the Closing and it may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund its expenses and liabilities after the Closing.

RFAC, PubCo and/or the Company may seek to arrange for additional third party financing which may be in the form of debt (including bank debt or convertible notes) or equity (including the sale of shares pursuant to additional PIPE subscriptions), the proceeds of which would be used to repay amounts outstanding under existing Company indebtedness at Closing or for other purposes (including, in the case of RFAC, to satisfy the Available Cash amount required to consummate the Business Combination). Such additional third-party financing may not be available to RFAC, PubCo and/or the Company. Even if such third-party financing is available, the ability of RFAC, PubCo or the Company to obtain such financing is subject to restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the consent of the other party. Furthermore, raising such additional financing may result in the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels, or such terms may not be as attractive as those under the Company’s existing indebtedness.

If we seek stockholder approval of our Business Combination, our Sponsor, Initial Stockholders, directors, executive officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock, RFAC Public Rights, or RFAC Public Warrants from Stockholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public “float” of our RFAC Class A Common Stock.

If we seek stockholder approval of our Business Combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, Initial Stockholders, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, or RFAC Public Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. There is no limit on the number of shares our Initial Stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. Additionally, at any time or prior to our Business Combination subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material non-public information), our Initial Stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire RFAC Public Shares, vote their RFAC Public Shares in favor of our Business Combination, or not redeem their RFAC Public Shares at all. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, or RFAC Public Warrants in such transactions. Such purchases may include a contractual acknowledgment that such stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights.

If our Sponsor, Initial Stockholders, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from RFAC Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination or to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our Business Combination, where it

TABLE OF CONTENTS

appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of RFAC Public Warrants could be to reduce the number of RFAC Public Warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our Business Combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. We expect any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our RFAC Class A Common Stock, RFAC Public Rights, or RFAC Public Warrants and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

RFAC cannot be certain as to the number of RFAC Public Shares that will be redeemed and the potential impact to RFAC Stockholders who do not elect to redeem their RFAC Public Shares.

There is no guarantee that a RFAC Stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the RFAC Stockholder in a better future economic position. RFAC can give no assurance as to the price at which a RFAC Stockholder may be able to sell its PubCo Ordinary Shares in the future following the Closing or its shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock following any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, and including redemptions of RFAC Public Shares may cause an increase or decrease in the share price of RFAC or PubCo, as applicable, and may result in a lower value realized now than a RFAC Stockholder might realize in the future had the RFAC Stockholder not redeemed its RFAC Public Shares. Similarly, if a RFAC Stockholder does not redeem its RFAC Public Shares, the RFAC Stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the RFAC Public Shares or PubCo Ordinary Shares, as applicable, after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a RFAC Stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price for RFAC Public Shares. A RFAC Stockholder should consult its own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.

RFAC Stockholders should be aware that while RFAC is unable to predict the price per PubCo Ordinary Share following the consummation of the Business Combination (and accordingly it is unable to calculate the potential impact of redemptions on the per share market price of RFAC Public Shares owned by non-redeeming RFAC Stockholders), increased levels of redemptions by RFAC Stockholders may be a result of the price per share of RFAC Class A Common Stock falling below the redemption price. We expect that more RFAC Stockholders may elect to redeem their RFAC Public Shares if the share price of the RFAC Class A Common Stock is below the projected redemption price of $11.15 per share, and we expect that more RFAC Stockholders may elect not to redeem their RFAC Public Shares if the share price of the RFAC Class A Common Stock is above the projected redemption price of $11.15 per share. Each RFAC Public Share that is redeemed will represent both (i) a reduction, equal to the amount of the redemption price, of the cash that will be available to PubCo from the Trust Account and (ii) an increase in each RFAC Stockholder’s pro rata ownership interest in PubCo following the consummation of the Business Combination.

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and to not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate a Business Combination. Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely

TABLE OF CONTENTS

affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, or RFAC Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our RFAC Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) our completion of a Business Combination, and then only in connection with those shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any RFAC Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our RFAC Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our RFAC Public Shares if we do not complete our Business Combination within the March 28, 2025 (the “Revised Extension Deadline”) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of our RFAC Public Shares if we are unable to complete a Business Combination within the Revised Extension Deadline, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if our plan to redeem our Public Shares if we are unable to complete a Business Combination the Revised Extension Deadline is not completed for any reason, compliance with Delaware law may require that we submit a plan of dissolution to our then-existing stockholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in our Trust Account. In that case, RFAC Public Stockholders may be forced to wait beyond the Revised Extension Deadline before they receive funds from our Trust Account. In no other circumstances will a RFAC Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. In the event RFAC decides to exercise the Extension Option, investors will not have voting rights nor redemption rights in connection with such additional three-month extensions. Holders of warrants and rights will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the warrants or rights. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Rights, or RFAC Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

The RFAC Board may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the RFAC Public Stockholders.

If the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per share and (ii) the actual amount per RFAC Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.10 per RFAC Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.

While RFAC currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on RFAC’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to RFAC, it is possible that RFAC’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If RFAC’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the RFAC Public Stockholders may be reduced below $10.10 per share.

RFAC Stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against RFAC to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their RFAC Public Shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is our intention to redeem our Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following the 12th month (or the Revised Extension Deadline) from the date our Initial Public Offering closed if we do not complete our Business Combination and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

Because we will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the ten years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers and investment bankers) or prospective target businesses. If our plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to RFAC Public Stockholders upon the redemption of the RFAC Public Shares in the event RFAC does not complete an initial business combination within the required time period is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

The ability of PubCo’s management to operate the business successfully following the Closing will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of the Company. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and financial results of the combined business.

The ability of PubCo’s management to operate the business successfully following the Closing is dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of the Company. Although RFAC expects key personnel to remain with PubCo following the Closing, there can be no assurance that they will do so. It is possible that the Company or PubCo will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of PubCo. Furthermore, following the Closing, certain of the key personnel of the Company may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause PubCo to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

Our key personnel may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular business combination, and a particular business combination may be conditioned on the retention or resignation of such key personnel. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following our Business Combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous.

Our key personnel may be able to remain with our company after the completion of our Business Combination only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements in connection with the Business Combination. Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the Business Combination and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to us after the completion of the Business Combination. Such negotiations also could make such key personnel’s retention or resignation a condition

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to any such agreement. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business, subject to their fiduciary duties under Delaware law.

We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after the consummation of our Business Combination, which could delay the opportunity for our stockholders to elect directors.

In accordance with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until no later than one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. Under Section 211(b) of the DGCL, we are, however, required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with our bylaws unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of such a meeting. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of our Business Combination, and thus we may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the DGCL, which requires an annual meeting. Therefore, if our stockholders want us to hold an annual meeting prior to the consummation of our Business Combination, they may attempt to force us to hold one by submitting an application to the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of the DGCL.

The grant of registration rights to our Initial Stockholders and holders of our RFAC Private Placement Warrants may make it more difficult to complete our Business Combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock.

Pursuant to an agreement entered into concurrently with the issuance and sale of the securities in our IPO, our Initial Stockholders and their permitted transferees can demand that we register the shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock into which Sponsor Founder Shares are convertible, holders of our RFAC Private Placement Warrants and their permitted transferees can demand that we register the RFAC Private Placement Warrants and the RFAC Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the RFAC Private Placement Warrants and holders of warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans may demand that we register such warrants or the RFAC Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such warrants.

Legal proceedings in connection with the Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Business Combination.

In connection with business combination transactions similar to the proposed Business Combination, it is not uncommon for lawsuits to be filed against the parties and/or their respective directors and officers alleging, among other things, that the proxy statement/prospectus provided to stockholders contains false and misleading statements and/or omits material information concerning the transaction. Although no such lawsuits have been filed in connection with the Business Combination, it is possible that such actions may arise and, if such actions do arise, they generally seek, among other things, injunctive relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. Defending such lawsuits could require PubCo, RFAC and/or the Company to incur significant costs and draw the attention of their respective management teams away from the Business Combination. Further, the defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the Business Combination is consummated may adversely affect PubCo’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such legal proceedings could delay or prevent the Business Combination from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.

The PubCo Ordinary Shares to be received by RFAC Stockholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from shares of RFAC Common Stock.

Following completion of the Business Combination, RFAC Public Stockholders will no longer be RFAC Stockholders but will instead be shareholders of PubCo. There will be important differences between your current rights as a RFAC Stockholder and your rights as a PubCo shareholder. See “Comparison Of Corporate Governance And Shareholder Rights” for a discussion of the different rights associated with the securities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may issue additional shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock or shares of preferred stock to complete our Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our Business Combination. We may also issue shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock upon the conversion of the Sponsor Founder Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our Business Combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in our RFAC Charter. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our stockholders and likely present other risks.

Our RFAC Charter authorizes the issuance of up to 380,000,000 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 20,000,000 shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus there are currently 4,649,369 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock and no shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock authorized and issued. The RFAC Class B Common Stock is automatically convertible into RFAC Class A Common Stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our Business Combination, initially at a one-for-one ratio but subject to adjustment as set forth herein and in our RFAC Charter. There are currently no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

We may issue a substantial number of additional shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock or shares of preferred stock to complete our Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our Business Combination. We may also issue shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the RFAC Class B Common Stock, at any time at the option of the holder, and at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our Business Combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions as set forth therein. However, our RFAC Charter provides, among other things, that prior to our Business Combination, we may not issue additional shares that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account or (ii) vote as a class with our RFAC Public Shares (a) on any Business Combination or (b) to extend the deadline to consummate a Business Combination except pursuant to the terms of the RFAC Charter or (y) amend the foregoing provisions. These provisions of our RFAC Charter, like all provisions of our RFAC Charter, may be amended with a stockholder vote. The issuance of additional shares of common stock or shares of preferred stock:

•

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors from our IPO;

•

may subordinate the rights of holders of RFAC Class A Common Stock if shares of preferred stock are issued with rights senior to those afforded our RFAC Class A Common Stock;

•

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

•

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our RFAC Units, RFAC Class A Common Stock, RFAC Public Rights, and/or RFAC Public Warrants.

Provisions in our RFAC Charter and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock and could entrench management.

Our RFAC Charter contains provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include a staggered board of directors and the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock, which may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In order to effectuate a Business Combination, special purpose acquisition companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and other governing instruments, including their warrant agreements. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our RFAC Charter or governing instruments in a manner that will make it easier for us to complete our Business Combination that our stockholders may not support.

In order to effectuate a Business Combination, special purpose acquisition companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their charters and governing instruments, including their warrant agreements. For example, special purpose acquisition companies have amended the definition of business combination, increased redemption thresholds and extended the time to consummate a Business Combination and, with respect to their warrants, amended their warrant agreements to require the warrants to be exchanged for cash and/or other securities. Amending Article IX of our RFAC Charter requires the approval of holders of at least 65% of our common stock, and amending our warrant agreement requires a vote of holders of at least 50% of the RFAC Public Warrants and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the RFAC Private Placement Warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the RFAC Private Placement Warrants, 50.1% of the number of the then outstanding RFAC Private Placement Warrants. In addition, our RFAC Charter requires us to provide our RFAC Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their RFAC Public Shares for cash if we propose an amendment to our RFAC Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our RFAC Public Shares if we do not complete a Business Combination within the Revised Extension Deadline or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity. To the extent any of such amendments would be deemed to fundamentally change the nature of the securities offered through this Registration Statement, we would register, or seek an exemption from registration for, the affected securities. We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our RFAC Charter or governing instruments or extend the time to consummate a Business Combination in order to effectuate our Business Combination.

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

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

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our Business Combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:

•

Restrictions on the nature of our investments; and

•

Restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for us to complete our Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:

•

Registration as an investment company with the SEC;

•

Adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

•

Reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations that we are not subject to.

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Our business will be to identify and complete a Business Combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term. We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.

We do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the Trust Account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either: (i) the completion of our Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any RFAC Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our RFAC Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our RFAC Public Shares if we do not complete our Business Combination by the Revised Extension Deadline; and (iii) absent a Business Combination by the Revised Extension Deadline or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ Rights or pre-Business Combination activity, our return of the funds held in the Trust Account to our RFAC Public Stockholders as part of our redemption of the RFAC Public Shares. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete a Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination, our RFAC Public Stockholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to RFAC Public Stockholders, and our Warrants and Rights will expire worthless.

Subsequent to our completion of our Business Combination, we may be required to take write- downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the price of our securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with which we combine, we cannot assure you that this diligence will identify all material issues that may be present with a particular target business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt

TABLE OF CONTENTS

held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining debt financing to partially finance the Business Combination or thereafter. Accordingly, any stockholders, right holders, or warrant holders who choose to remain stockholders, right holders, or warrant holders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities. Such stockholders, right holders, or warrant holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

The securities in which we invest the proceeds held in the Trust Account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the interest income available for payment of taxes or reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.10 per share.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations 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 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term U.S. treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event of very low or negative yields, the amount of interest income (which we may use to pay our taxes, if any) would be reduced. In the event that we are unable to complete our Business Combination, our RFAC Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds then held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). If the balance of the Trust Account is reduced below $17,672,550 as a result of negative interest rates, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our RFAC Public Stockholders may be reduced below $10.10 per share.

Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate or challenges by tax authorities could harm our future results.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and may become subject to various non-U.S. jurisdictions as well. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the allocation of our pre-tax earnings and losses among countries with differing statutory tax rates, in certain non-deductible expenses as a result of acquisitions, in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or in federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws and accounting principles, including increased tax rates, new tax laws or revised interpretations of existing tax laws and precedents. Increases in our effective tax rate would adversely affect our operating results. In addition, we may be subject to income tax audits by various tax jurisdictions throughout the world. The application of tax laws in such jurisdictions may be subject to diverging and sometimes conflicting interpretations by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. Although we believe our income tax liabilities are reasonably estimated and accounted for in accordance with applicable laws and principles, an adverse resolution of one or more uncertain tax positions in any period could have a material impact on the results of operations for that period.

If we effect a Business Combination with a company located outside of the United States, the laws applicable to such company will likely govern all of our material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.

The laws of the country in which such company operates will govern almost all of the material agreements relating to its operations. We cannot assure you that the target business will be able to enforce any of its material agreements or that remedies will be available in this new jurisdiction. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital. Additionally, if we acquire a company located outside of the United States, it is likely that substantially all of our assets would be located outside of the United States and some of our officers and directors might reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors in the United States to enforce their legal

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rights, to effect service of process upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers under Federal securities laws.

If we effect our Business Combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may adversely affect us.

If we pursue a target company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States for our Business Combination, we may face additional burdens in connection with investigating, agreeing to and completing such Business Combination, and if we effect such Business Combination, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations.

If we pursue a target a company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States (although we will not effect our Business Combination with any entity with its principal business operations in China, including Hong Kong and Macau) for our Business Combination, we would be subject to risks associated with cross-border business combinations, including in connection with investigating, agreeing to and completing our Business Combination, conducting due diligence in a foreign jurisdiction, having such transaction approved by any local governments, regulators or agencies and changes in the purchase price based on fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

If we effect our Business Combination with such a company, we would be subject to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in an international setting, including any of the following:

•

costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations;

•

rules and regulations regarding currency redemption;

•

complex corporate withholding taxes on individuals;

•

laws governing the manner in which future business combinations may be effected;

•

exchange listing and/or delisting requirements;

•

tariffs and trade barriers;

•

regulations related to customs and import/export matters;

•

local or regional economic policies and market conditions;

•

unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

•

challenges in managing and staffing international operations;

•

longer payment cycles;

•

tax issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States;

•

currency fluctuations and exchange controls;

•

rates of inflation;

•

challenges in collecting accounts receivable;

•

cultural and language differences;

•

employment regulations;

•

underdeveloped or unpredictable legal or regulatory systems;

•

corruption;

•

protection of intellectual property;

•

social unrest, crime, strikes, riots and civil disturbances;

•

regime changes and political upheaval;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

terrorist attacks and wars; and

•

deterioration of political relations with the United States.

We may not be able to adequately address these additional risks. If we were unable to do so, we may be unable to complete such Business Combination, or, if we complete such Business Combination, our operations might suffer, either of which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If a country in Asia (excluding China) enacts regulations in industry segments that forbid or restrict foreign investment, our ability to consummate our Business Combination could be severely impaired.

Many of the rules and regulations that companies face concerning foreign ownership are not explicitly communicated. If new laws or regulations forbid or limit foreign investment in industries in which we want to complete our Business Combination, they could severely impair our candidate pool of potential target businesses. Additionally, if the relevant central and local authorities find us or the target business with which we ultimately complete our Business Combination to be in violation of any existing or future laws or regulations, they would have broad discretion in dealing with such a violation, including, without limitation:

•

Levying fines;

•

Revoking our business and other licenses;

•

Requiring that we restructure our ownership or operations; and

•

Requiring that we discontinue any portion or all of our business.

Any of the above could have an adverse effect on our company post-business combination and could materially reduce the value of your investment.

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

Certain of our directors are citizens of countries other than the United States. In addition, PubCo, the company with which we entered into the Merger Agreement, is a Cayman Islands exempted company with operations in Singapore and certain of its directors are citizens of countries other than the United States. While we believe that the nature of RFAC’s business, and the nature of the businesses of PubCo should not make the transaction subject to U.S. foreign regulations or review by a U.S. government entity, it is possible that the Business Combination may be subject to a CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If the Business Combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our initial business combination. If we cannot complete our initial business combination by March 28, 2025 (or such later date as may be approved by the RFAC Stockholders in an

TABLE OF CONTENTS

amendment to the RFAC Charter) because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because our initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

On and prior to the Closing Date, the trading price per share value of RFAC Class A Common Stock may be less than the per share value of the Trust Account. In addition, the net cash per RFAC Class A Common Stock (taking into account all RFAC Common Stock, equivalent converted shares from RFAC Rights and EBC shares) is less than the amount in trust per share available to any redeeming RFAC Public Shareholders.

Although the parties to the Business Combination agreed the consideration to be provided to PubCo shareholders could be valued at a price equal to the per share amount in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the cash backed value per RFAC Public Share following the Business Combination may be substantially less than such per share price. Accordingly, RFAC Public Shareholders who do not exercise redemption rights will hold RFAC Public Shares that could have a value to them ascribed by their trading price as of two business days prior to the Special Meeting, which may be substantially less than the amount they could have received upon exercise of redemption rights. In particular, the shares of some companies that are the result of a recently completed business combinations between a SPAC and an operating company have traded at prices substantially below than the cash backed per share in the Trust Account. As such, RFAC Public Shareholders who do not exercise redemptions right may hold securities that do not obtain a value equal to or exceeding the current per share value of the Trust Account. Furthermore, the net cash per RFAC Public Shares (taking into account all RFAC Common Stock, equivalent converted shares from RFAC Rights and EBC shares) is less than the amount per share available in the Trust Account to redeeming RFAC Public Shareholders.

RFAC has received delisting and/or deficiency notices from Nasdaq, and there can be no assurance that RFAC’s securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq.

On April 29, 2024, RFAC received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying RFAC that, RFAC is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Minimum Total Holders Rule”), which requires RFAC to have at least 400 total holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Notice stated that RFAC had 45 calendar days,or until June 13, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule.

On June 11, 2024, RFAC submitted its plan to regain compliance to Nasdaq. Subsequently, Nasdaq accepted RFAC’s plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule and provided RFAC until October 26, 2024, to evidence such compliance. On October 30, 2024, RFAC received written notice from Nasdaq stating that RFAC had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) and would be delisted on November 8, 2024, if RFAC did not appeal the determination with the Nasdaq Hearing Panel.

On November 5, 2024, RFAC requested a hearing from the Nasdaq Hearing Panel to stay the suspension of RFAC’s securities and the filing of the Form 25 NSE pending the Nasdaq Hearing Panel’s decision. On November 6, 2024, Nasdaq granted RFAC a hearing on December 19, 2024.

Additionally, RFAC expects the consummation of the Business Combination to resolve its non-compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule. If RFAC is not successful in appealing Nasdaq’s decision to delist RFAC or does not regain compliance by any such extended date granted by the Nasdaq Hearing Panel, or the Business Combination is not consummated prior to that date, RFAC’s securities may cease trading on Nasdaq, which may adversely affect the liquidity and trading of RFAC’s securities.

Risks Related to PubCo Operating as a Public Company

GCL Group’s management team has limited experience managing a public company.

The members of GCL Group’s management team have limited or no experience managing a publicly-traded company, interacting with public company investors, and complying with the increasingly complex

TABLE OF CONTENTS

laws, rules and regulations that govern public companies. There are significant obligations it will now be subject to relating to reporting, procedures and internal controls, and the PubCo management team may not successfully or efficiently manage its transition to being a public company. These new obligations and scrutiny will require significant attention from management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of GCL Group’s business, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and operating results.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, PubCo will become subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, will require that PubCo include a report from management on the effectiveness of PubCo’s internal control over financial reporting in PubCo’s annual report on Form 20-F beginning with PubCo’s annual report in PubCo’s second annual report on Form 20-F after becoming a public company. In addition, once PubCo ceases to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, PubCo’s independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of PubCo’s internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, even if PubCo’s management concludes that PubCo’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, PubCo’s independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting if it is not satisfied with PubCo’s internal controls or the level at which PubCo’s controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from PubCo. In addition, after PubCo becomes a public company, PubCo’s reporting obligations may place a significant strain on PubCo’s management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. PubCo may be unable to timely complete its evaluation testing and any required remediation.

During the course of documenting and testing PubCo’s internal control procedures, in the event that PubCo identifies weaknesses and deficiencies in PubCo’s internal control over financial reporting, and fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, PubCo may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Generally speaking, if PubCo fails to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, it could result in material misstatements in PubCo’s financial statements and could also impair PubCo’s ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, PubCo’s businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of the ordinary shares, may be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose PubCo to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject PubCo to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which PubCo lists, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. PubCo may also be required to restate its financial statements from prior periods. PubCo will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, PubCo will become a public company and expect to incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, PubCo will need to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. Operating as a public company will make it more difficult and more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and PubCo may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. In addition, PubCo will incur additional costs associated with its public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for PubCo to find qualified persons to serve on its board of directors or as executive officers.

After PubCo is no longer an “emerging growth company,” PubCo may incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC.

100

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a foreign private issuer, PubCo will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and its officers, directors, and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, it will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States domestic issuers, and it will not be required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that United States domestic issuers are required to disclose. If it ceases to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future, it would incur significant additional expenses that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.

PubCo’s status as a foreign private issuer exempts it from compliance with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements if it instead complies with the statutory requirements applicable to a Cayman Islands exempted company. The statutory requirements of PubCo’s home country of Cayman Islands, do not strictly require a majority of its board to consist of independent directors. Thus, although a director must act in the best interests of PubCo, it is possible that fewer board members will be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight of the management the company may decrease as a result. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have an independent compensation committee with a minimum of two members, a nominating committee, and an independent audit committee with a minimum of three members. PubCo, as a foreign private issuer, with the exception of needing an independent audit committee composed of at least three members, is not subject to these requirements. The Nasdaq Listing Rules may also require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters that PubCo’s home country’s rules do not. Following Cayman Islands governance practices, as opposed to complying with the requirements applicable to a U.S. company listed on Nasdaq, may provide less protection to you than would otherwise be the case.

Although as a foreign private issuer, PubCo is exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to US domestic issuers, if PubCo cannot satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the initial listing requirements and other rules of Nasdaq, PubCo’s securities may not be listed or may be delisted, which could negatively affect the price of its securities and your ability to sell them.

PubCo will seek to have its securities approved for listing on Nasdaq in connection with the Business Combination. PubCo cannot assure you that it will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. Even if PubCo’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, it cannot assure you that its securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq.

In addition, following the Business Combination, in order to maintain its listing on Nasdaq, PubCo will be required to comply with certain rules of Nasdaq, including those regarding minimum shareholders’ equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Even if PubCo initially meets the listing requirements and other applicable rules of Nasdaq, PubCo may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If PubCo is unable to satisfy Nasdaq criteria for maintaining its listing, its securities could be subject to delisting.

If Nasdaq does not list PubCo’s securities, or subsequently delists its securities from trading, PubCo could face significant consequences, including:

•

a limited availability for market quotations for its securities;

•

reduced liquidity with respect to its securities;

•

a determination that its ordinary shares is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in PubCo Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares;

•

limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

101

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because PubCo is incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

PubCo is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. PubCo’s corporate affairs are governed by PubCo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against PubCo’s directors, actions by PubCo’s minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of PubCo’s directors to PubCo under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of PubCo’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of PubCo’s directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws than the United States and provides significantly less protection to investors. In addition, some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands.

There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although a judgment obtained in the United States will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (c) is final; (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; and (e) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. It may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against PubCo or against these individuals in the Cayman Islands in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the applicable securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands may render you unable to enforce a judgment against PubCo’s assets or the assets of PubCo’s directors and officers.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like PubCo have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. PubCo’s directors have discretion under PubCo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that will become effective immediately prior to completion of the Business Combination to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, its corporate records may be inspected by its shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to its shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, PubCo’s public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by PubCo’s management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a derivative action in a federal court of the United States. As a result, your ability to protect your interests if you are harmed in a manner that would otherwise enable you to sue in a United States federal court may be limited to direct shareholder lawsuits.

We expect that Mr. Jacky Choo See Wee, our Group Chairman, will hold a majority of the voting power of the PubCo following the completion of the Business Combination. Accordingly, PubCo will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615. PubCo therefore, will be eligible to

102

TABLE OF CONTENTS

utilize certain exemptions from the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market. PubCo’s status as a controlled company could cause its securities to look less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm the trading price.

As a controlled company, PubCo will qualify for, and our board of directors, the composition of which is and will be controlled by Mr. Choo, may rely upon, exemptions from several of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements, including requirements that:

•

a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors;

•

compensation of officers, including that of the CEO, be determined or recommended to the board of directors by a majority of its independent directors or by a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors; and

•

director nominees be selected or recommended to the board of directors by a majority of its independent directors or by a nominating committee that is composed entirely of independent directors.

Accordingly, to the extent that we may choose to rely on one or more of these exemptions, Public Shareholders would not be afforded the same protections afforded to the shareholders of other Nasdaq-listed companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

Incentive Shares amounting to 2,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares that may be issued by PubCo to Sponsor at closing, which shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, will not be subject to any lock-up provisions or restrictions, and may be considered additional consideration to the Sponsor if retained by the Sponsor. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we expect the Sponsor to retain all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the 2,000,000 Incentive Shares are separate from, and in addition to, the $33,025,000 Convertible Notes issued or to be issued by GCL pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements. After the Business Combination, there will be approximately 127,799,369 PubCo Ordinary Shares outstanding (assuming no RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their RFAC Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination) including 4,875,000 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor and 80,581,793 PubCo Ordinary Shares held by the GCL Shareholders that will be subject to certain lock-up arrangements. Following completion of the Business Combination, and assuming no RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their RFAC Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo expects that approximately 55.8% of the PubCo Ordinary Shares will be held by entities affiliated with PubCo and its executive officers and directors.

After the Business Combination and pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, certain shareholders will be entitled to demand that PubCo registers the resale of 5,000,000 warrants convertible into shares, and approximately 8,075,000 shares (including 5,000,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants), of PubCo Ordinary Shares subject to certain minimum requirements. These shareholders will also have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Business Combination.

Upon effectiveness of any registration statement PubCo files pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and upon the expiration of the lock-up periods applicable to the parties to the Lock-Up Agreement, these parties may sell large amounts of PubCo Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the share price of PubCo Ordinary Shares or putting significant downward pressure on the price of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Sales of substantial amounts of PubCo Ordinary Shares in the public market after the Business Combination, or the perception that such sales will occur, could adversely affect the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares and make it difficult for us to raise funds through securities offerings in the future.

103

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PubCo does not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

After the Closing, PubCo does not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

The trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about PubCo, its business, its market, or its competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on PubCo. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of PubCo, PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover PubCo change their recommendation regarding PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about PubCo’s competitors, the price of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover RFAC were to cease coverage of PubCo or fail to regularly publish reports on it, PubCo could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants to decline.

Risks for any holders of PubCo Public Warrants following the Business Combination.

Following the Business Combination, PubCo may redeem your PubCo Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby significantly impairing the value of such warrants. PubCo will have the ability to redeem outstanding PubCo Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 Trading Days within a 30 Trading Day period ending on the third Trading Day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is sent to the warrant holders. PubCo will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those PubCo Ordinary Shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the PubCo Public Warrants become redeemable by PubCo, if PubCo has elected to require the exercise of PubCo Public Warrants on a cashless basis, PubCo will not redeem the warrants as described above if the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares upon exercise of PubCo Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws or PubCo is unable to effect such registration or qualification. Redemption of the outstanding PubCo Public Warrants could force you (i) to exercise your PubCo Public Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your PubCo Public Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your PubCo Public Warrants, or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding PubCo Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your PubCo Public Warrants. The closing price for the RFAC Common Stock as of December 20, 2024 was $11.47 and has never exceeded the $18.00 threshold that would trigger the right to redeem the PubCo Public Warrants following the Closing.

PubCo will be deemed to be an “emerging growth company” and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, PubCo Ordinary Shares may be less attractive to investors.

PubCo will be deemed to be an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it intends to take advantage of some of the exemptions from reporting requirements that are available to emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of PubCo’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

104

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PubCo may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until it is no longer an emerging growth company. PubCo will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) in which PubCo has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which PubCo is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of PubCo Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of its last fiscal year, and (2) the date on which PubCo has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

PubCo cannot predict if investors will find its ordinary shares less attractive because it will rely on the accommodations and exemptions available to emerging growth companies. If some investors find PubCo Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo’s share price may be more volatile.

Risks Related to the Ownership of PubCo Securities After the Business Combination

PubCo intends to apply for the listing of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants on the Trading Market. If after listing, the Trading Market chooses to delist PubCo for failure to meet the listing standards, PubCo and its shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

•

reduced liquidity for its securities;

•

a determination that PubCo Ordinary Shares are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the PubCo Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for its securities;

•

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, a U.S. federal statute, prevents or preempts U.S. states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” If the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants are listed on the Trading Market, they will be covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of PubCo’s securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While PubCo is not aware of a state, other than the State of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if PubCo was not listed on the Trading Market, its securities would not be covered securities and it would be subject to regulation in each state in which it offers its securities.

A market for PubCo’s securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of PubCo’s securities.

Following the Business Combination, the price of PubCo’s securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Business Combination and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for PubCo’s securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of PubCo’s securities after the Business Combination can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, PubCo’s general business condition and the release of PubCo’s financial reports. Additionally, if its securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, the Trading Market for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated

105

TABLE OF CONTENTS

quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of its securities may be more limited than if it were quoted or listed on the Trading Market or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

If the perceived benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of RFAC’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of PubCo’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from the prices of RFAC’s securities on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which RFAC Stockholders will vote on the Business Combination.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of PubCo’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Currently, there is no public market for the Company’s securities. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to the Company may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for PubCo’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of PubCo’s securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond PubCo’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in PubCo’s securities and PubCo’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of PubCo’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of PubCo’s securities may include:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in PubCo’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

•

changes in the market’s expectations about PubCo’s operating results;

•

success of competitors;

•

PubCo’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning PubCo or the industries in which the Company operates;

•

operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to PubCo;

•

PubCo’s ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting PubCo’s business;

•

PubCo’s ability to meet compliance requirements;

•

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving PubCo;

•

changes in PubCo’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of PubCo Ordinary Shares available for public sale;

•

any major change in the PubCo Board or management;

•

sales of substantial amounts of PubCo Ordinary Shares by PubCo’s directors, executive officers or significant shareholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of PubCo’s securities irrespective of PubCo’s operating performance. The stock market in general, and the Trading Market in

106

TABLE OF CONTENTS

particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of PubCo’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to PubCo could depress PubCo’s share price regardless of PubCo’s business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of PubCo’s securities also could adversely affect PubCo’s ability to issue additional securities and PubCo’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on PubCo’s business, operating results and stock price.

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company is neither a publicly listed company, nor an affiliate of a publicly listed company, and has not dedicated accounting personnel and other resources to address internal control and other procedures commensurate with those of a publicly listed company. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary to increase the reliability of financial reports.

The standards required for a public company under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of the Company as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable after the Business Combination. If PubCo is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, it may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of PubCo ordinary shares.

Prior to the Business Combination, neither the Company nor its auditors were required to perform an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as it was a private company. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, the Company identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the PCAOB. The material weakness identified related to (i) lack of accounting staff and resources with appropriate knowledge of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance requirements to design and implement formal period-end financial reporting policies and procedures to address complex technical accounting issue in accordance with GAAP and the SEC requirements, and (ii) lack of information technology general controls in the areas of IT policies and procedures, user provisioning and termination, privileged access and service organization monitoring who are responsible for change management over certain core business system and accounting system. To remediate the material weaknesses, the Company has begun, and will continue, to (A) hire additional finance and accounting staff with qualifications and work experience in GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to formalize the key internal control over financial reporting; (B) allocate sufficient resources to prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with GAAP and SEC reporting requirements; and (C) hire experienced IT staff with qualifications of the CRISC (“Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control”) to formalize and strengthen the key internal control over Information Technology General Control.

Following the Business Combination, PubCo’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 until PubCo’s first Form 20-F following the date on which it ceases to qualify as an “emerging growth company,” which may be up to five full fiscal years following the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement. If such evaluation were performed, control deficiencies could be identified by PubCo’s management, and those control deficiencies could also represent one or more material weaknesses. In addition, PubCo cannot predict the outcome of this determination and whether PubCo will need to implement remedial actions in order to implement effective control over financial reporting. If in subsequent years PubCo is unable to assert that PubCo’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if PubCo’s auditors express an opinion that PubCo’s internal control over financial reporting is ineffective, PubCo may fail to meet the future

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, combines the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of RFAC as of December 31, 2023, the historical balance sheet of GCL Global as of March 31,2024, respectively, on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2024 combine the historical financial information of RFAC for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the historical statement of operation and comprehensive loss of GCL Global for the year ended March 31, 2024, on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated on April 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses. Release No. 33-10786 replaced the previous pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the Transactions (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Management has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company reflecting the Transactions.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

There is no historical activity with respect to PubCo, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2, and accordingly, no adjustments were required with respect to these entities in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

RFAC’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus;

•

GCL Global’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2024 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

RFAC’s statements of operation for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

GCL Global’s consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Description of the Business Combination

On October 18, 2023, RFAC, PubCo, GCL BVI, GCL Global and the Sponsor have agreed to the Business Combination under the terms of the Merger Agreement (as amended on December 1, 2023,

109

TABLE OF CONTENTS

December 15, 2023, January 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024) that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, among other things, PubCo will form (i) Merger Sub 1, which shall be a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo, and (ii) Merger Sub 2, which shall be a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo, for the purpose of participating in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) the Initial Merger, in which Merger Sub 1 shall merge with and into GCL Global, with GCL Global surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, and (b) the SPAC Merger, in which Merger Sub 2 shall merge with and into RFAC, with RFAC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. Further, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 14, 2024, GCL BVI and GCL Global have caused certain other entities as provided in the Merger Agreement to complete the Restructuring.

Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, RFAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, GCL Global’s shareholders are expected to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, GCL Global will comprise all of the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of GCL Global issuing shares for the net assets of RFAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of RFAC will be stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of GCL Global.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of RFAC’s common stock.

•

Assuming No Redemptions (Scenario 1): This presentation assumes that no RFAC Public Stockholders exercise their right to redeem their RFAC Public Shares (excluding the Redeemed Public Shares) for their pro rata share of the Trust Account, and thus, the full amount held in the Trust Account as of the Closing is available for the Business Combination.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions (Scenario 2): This presentation assumes that RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares (100% of the issued, outstanding and unredeemed RFAC Public Shares) in connection with the approval of the Business Combination, at a price of approximately $11.15 per share. This maximum redemption scenario reflects the maximum number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed and allow RFAC to meet the Minimum Cash.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on April 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

RFAC’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus; and

•

GCL Global’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2024 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

RFAC’s statements of operation for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

GCL Global’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on information available as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, the actual adjustments may materially differ from the pro forma adjustments. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of RFAC and GCL Global.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that GCL Global believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. For instance, there is no signed non-redemption agreement or definitive agreement in connection with the Transaction Financing at this time. The pro forma adjustments will likely change subject to the terms of non-redemption agreements, if any, and the Transaction Financing; and it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believe that their assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information also reflects certain risks and uncertainties related to the potential redemption into cash of RFAC common stock.

Note 2 — Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Post-Combination Company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

Note 3 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). GCL Global has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor may direct PubCo to issue all of the Incentive Shares directly to Sponsor at Closing, and PubCo’s obligation to issue the Incentive Shares at Closing is not conditioned on the Transaction Financing.

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

The transaction accounting adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2024 are as follows:

(AA)

Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest earned on investment held in Trust Account, net of income tax effect, as if the Business Combination had been consummated on April 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented;

(BB)

The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on April 1, 2023. In addition, as the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. In Scenario 2, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of 1,574,369 shares of RFAC are redeemed for cash by RFAC’s shareholders for the entire period;

(CC)

Reflects the approximately $8.1 million of RFAC’s transaction costs to be incurred subsequent to December 31, 2023 and approximately $2.2 million of GCL's transaction costs to be incurred subsequent to March 31, 2024. This is a non-recurring item; and

(DD)

Reflects the stock compensation expenses of approximately $20 million in connection with the issuance of 2,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued at the Closing, which shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, to be allocated as determined by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, which such shares shall not be subject to any lock-up period or restrictions. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor may direct PubCo to issue all of the Incentive Shares directly to Sponsor at Closing, in which case the Incentive Shares may be considered compensation to the Sponsor if retained by the Sponsor, and PubCo’s obligation to issue the Incentive Shares at Closing is not conditioned on the Transaction Financing. This adjustment is considered to be a one-time charge and is not expected to recur. At this time, there is no signed non-redemption agreement, and we are assuming that Sponsor will retain the entire 2,000,000 Incentive Shares at Closing, which consequently may be considered additional consideration to the Sponsor.

Note 4 — Loss per Share

Represents the loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the change in number of shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average

118

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shares outstanding for basic and diluted loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented.

Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing pro forma net loss by the weighted average number of the shares of GCL common stock outstanding during the periods.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming the scenarios presented for the year ended March 31, 2024:

SPECIAL MEETING OF RFAC STOCKHOLDERS

General

RFAC is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by the RFAC Board for use at the Special Meeting to be held on [•], 2025 and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus provides RFAC Stockholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or direct their vote to be cast at the Special Meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The Special Meeting will be held on [•] 2025, at [•] Eastern time. The meeting will be held virtually over the internet by means of a live audio webcast. You will be able to attend, vote your shares and submit questions during the Special Meeting via a live webcast available at [•].

Purpose of the Special Meeting

RFAC Stockholders are being asked to vote on the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal.

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of RFAC Common Stock at the close of business on December 23, 2024 which is the Record Date. You are entitled to one vote for each share of RFAC Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 4,649,369 shares of RFAC Common Stock outstanding, of which 1,574,369 are RFAC Public Shares, 2,875,000 are Founders Shares held by the Sponsor and the independent directors of RFAC, and 200,000 are EBC Founder Shares held by EBC.

Vote of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers

In connection with the IPO and the appointment of each of its directors and officers, RFAC entered into agreements with the Sponsor and each of its directors and officers pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of RFAC Common Stock owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. These agreements apply to the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers as it relates to the Sponsor Founders Shares and RFAC Common Stock the requirement to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, we would need none of the 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved.

In connection with the IPO, EBC, the Sponsor and RFAC’s officers and directors agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any shares of RFAC Common Stock held by them in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Such waivers are standard in transactions of this type and the Sponsor, EBC, and RFAC’s officers and directors did not receive separate consideration for the waiver. The Sponsor Founder Shares, EBC Founder Shares, and RFAC Common Stock held by the Sponsor, EBC, and RFAC’s directors and officers have no redemption rights upon RFAC’s liquidation and will be worthless if RFAC fails to consummate a business combination by March 28, 2025 (or a later date approved by RFAC Stockholders pursuant to the RFAC Charter).

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals

A quorum of RFAC Stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the shares of RFAC Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is present via the virtual meeting platform or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

120

TABLE OF CONTENTS

It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not then consummate the Business Combination. If RFAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by March 28, 2025 (or a later date approved by RFAC Stockholders pursuant to the RFAC Charter), RFAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its RFAC Public Stockholders in accordance with the RFAC Charter, subject to payment of RFAC’s tax obligations and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will have no effect on any of the Proposals.

Recommendation of the RFAC Board

The RFAC Board has determined that each of the Proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus is fair to and in the best interests of RFAC and its stockholders and has approved such Proposals. The RFAC Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal.

When you consider the recommendation of the RFAC Board in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

•

the RFAC Charter provides that the doctrine of corporate opportunity will not apply with respect to RFAC or any of its officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of the RFAC Charter or in the future, and RFAC renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of RFAC will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to RFAC, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of RFAC with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of RFAC and (i) such opportunity is one RFAC is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for RFAC to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to RFAC without violating any legal obligation;

•

the RFAC Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor for $4,450,500 and by EBC for $549,500 will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

•

121

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the fact that Sponsor paid $25,000 or approximately $0.009 per share for the Founders Shares (of which it currently holds 2,875,000), which such Sponsor Founder Shares, if unrestricted and freely tradeable, would be valued at approximately $33.0 million, based on the closing price of RFAC Class A Common Stock of $11.47 on December 20, 2024, and that such shares will be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and that the Sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if RFAC Public Stockholders experience a negative return following the consummation of the Business Combination;

•

the fact that Sponsor and EBC have agreed not to redeem any of the Sponsor Founders Shares and EBC Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•

the fact that upon completion of the Business Combination, a business combination marketing fee of $4.025 million will be payable to EBC;

•

the fact that RFAC’s existing officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the business combination and pursuant to the Merger Agreement

The existence of the interests described above may result in a conflict of interest on the part of RFAC’s officers and directors in entering into the Merger Agreement and making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. In particular, the existence of the interests described above may incentivize RFAC’s officers and directors to complete an initial business combination, even if on terms less favorable to RFAC’s stockholders compared to liquidating RFAC, because, among other things, if RFAC is liquidated without completing an initial business combination, the Sponsor’s Founder Shares and RFAC Private Placement Warrants would be worthless (which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be worth an aggregate of approximately $33.1 million based on the closing price of RFAC Class A Common Stock and RFAC Public Warrant on December 20, 2024), out-of-pocket expenses advanced by the Sponsor and loans made by the Sponsor to RFAC would not be repaid to the extent such amounts exceed cash held by RFAC outside of the Trust Account (which such expenses and loans, as of September 30, 2024, amounted to $1,504,559), and EBC would not receive business combination marketing fees amounting to $4.025 million, in the aggregate.

Voting Your Shares — Stockholders of Record

Each share of RFAC Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. If you are a record owner of your shares, there are two ways to vote your shares of RFAC Common Stock at the Special Meeting:

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by the RFAC Board “FOR” Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal (if presented). Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the Special Meeting will not be counted.

You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote During the Meeting. You can access the Special Meeting by visiting the website [•]. You will need your control number for access. If you do not have a control number, please contact Continental. Please allow up to 48 hours prior to the meeting for processing your control number. Instructions on how to attend and participate at the Special Meeting are available at [•].

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Governance Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal. Under the RFAC Bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Special Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Special Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the Special Meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the RFAC Charter, any holders of RFAC Public Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less taxes payable, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of the IPO (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to it to pay RFAC’s taxes). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of $[•] million on [•], 2024, the estimated per share redemption price would have been $[•].

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

prior to [•] PM Eastern Time on [•], 2025 (two business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your RFAC Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, RFAC’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Email: proxy@continentalstock.com

In your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption, you must also affirmatively certify if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of RFAC Common Stock; and deliver your RFAC Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC to RFAC’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the Special Meeting. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is RFAC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, RFAC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your RFAC Public Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with RFAC’s consent, until

124

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to RFAC’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that RFAC’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting RFAC’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, RFAC Stockholders should verify the market price of RFAC Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their RFAC Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of RFAC Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in RFAC Common Stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of RFAC Common Stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of PubCo, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not approved and RFAC does not consummate an initial business combination by March 28, 2025 (or a later date approved by RFAC Stockholders pursuant to the RFAC Charter), RFAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the RFAC Public Stockholders and the RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights will expire worthless.

Appraisal and Dissenting Rights

RFAC Stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the other proposals.

Company Shareholders are entitled to dissent from the Initial Merger which forms part of the Business Combination and to receive payment of the “fair value” of their shares following consummation of the Initial Merger. Where a Company Shareholder who exercises such dissent rights and the Company are unable to agree on the “fair value” of such shares, a statutory appraisal process is required to determine the “fair value.”

Proxy Solicitation

RFAC is soliciting proxies on behalf of the RFAC Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone, on the internet or in person. RFAC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person. RFAC will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. RFAC will bear the cost of the solicitation.

RFAC has hired Sodali to assist in the proxy solicitation process. RFAC will pay Sodali a fee of $12,500.00, plus disbursements of its expenses in connection with services relating to the Special Meeting.

RFAC will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. RFAC will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses in connection with such efforts.

Stock Ownership

As of the Record Date, the Sponsor beneficially owns an aggregate of 61.8% of the outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock. The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its Sponsor Founder Shares and any RFAC Public Shares acquired by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not acquired any RFAC Public Shares.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

General

Holders of RFAC Common Stock are being asked to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination. RFAC Stockholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section titled “— The Merger Agreement” below, for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to carefully read the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this Proposal.

Because RFAC is holding a stockholder vote on the Business Combination, RFAC may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock as of the Record Date for the Special Meeting.

The Merger Agreement

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. The Merger Agreement has been attached to this proxy statement/prospectus to provide you with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about RFAC, the Company or PubCo. The following description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. You should refer to the full text of the Merger Agreement for details of the Business Combination and the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Any defined terms used in this summary but not defined in this summary or in the section titled “— Frequently Used Terms” shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that RFAC, on the one hand, and the Company and PubCo, on the other hand, have made to one another as of specific dates. These representations and warranties have been made for the benefit of the other parties to the Merger Agreement and are intended not as statements of fact but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be incorrect. In addition, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential Disclosure Letters exchanged by the parties in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. While RFAC and the Company do not believe that these Disclosure Letters contain information required to be publicly disclosed under the applicable securities laws, other than information that has already been so disclosed, the Disclosure Letters do contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the attached Merger Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as current characterizations of factual information about RFAC, the Company or PubCo, because they were made as of specific dates, are intended merely as a risk allocation mechanism between RFAC and the Company and are modified by the Disclosure Letters.

General; Structure of the Business Combination; Closing

On October 18, 2023, RFAC entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended on December 1, 2023, December 15, 2023, January 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024, and as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with GCL Global Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”), Grand Centrex Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“GCL BVI”), GCL Global Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“GCL Global”), and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, RF Dynamic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, PubCo will form a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, to be a wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”), and a Delaware limited liability company, to be a wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 2”), for the purpose of participating in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the merger of Merger Sub 1 with and into GCL Global, with GCL Global surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”), the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into RFAC, with RFAC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “SPAC Merger” and together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”, and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the other agreements contemplated thereby, the

126

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Transactions”). The requisite members of the RFAC Board (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and (ii) resolved to recommend the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions by the stockholders of RFAC.

The Initial Merger; Conversion of Shares

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with the Companies Act, at the Initial Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub 1 shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 1 shall cease, and the Company, as the Surviving Corporation, shall thereafter continue its corporate existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo.

At the Initial Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto or the holders of Company Shares, each Company Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time (other than any Company Share excluded pursuant to subsection (ii) below and any Dissenting Share), shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive, such number of newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares that is equal to the Company Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole share), as such calculations are set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet as to each holder set forth therein (the “Merger Consideration Shares”), without interest. As of the Initial Merger Effective Time, each Company Shareholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company or the Surviving Corporation (other than the rights set forth in Section 2.7(a) of the Merger Agreement). Prior to the payment of the Merger Consideration Shares to any Company Shareholder, such Company Shareholder shall deliver to RFAC a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal in such form as is typical for transactions of this type together with the certificate (if the Company Shares are certificated) representing the Company Shares owned by such Company Shareholder. Such letter of transmittal will include, without limitation: a release in favor of PubCo, the GCL Companies and RFAC in such holders’ capacity as a Company Shareholder, from any Action or liability whatsoever, based upon, relating to or arising out of such Company Shareholder’s ownership of share capital of the Company and/or the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Merger Agreement to the contrary, at the Initial Merger Effective Time, if there are any Company Shares that are owned by the Company as treasury shares or any Company Shares owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, such Company Shares shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor. Each of the Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be canceled and cease to exist and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 2.7(a) of the Merger Agreement.

The SPAC Merger; Conversion of Shares

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, in accordance with the DGCL, immediately following confirmation of the effective filing of the Initial Merger, and effective on such date and time as the SPAC Merger becomes effective (the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”), Merger Sub 2 shall be merged with and into RFAC, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 2 shall cease, and RFAC, as the surviving corporation, shall thereafter continue its corporate existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. The completion of the Initial Merger is a condition precedent for the completion of the SPAC Merger.

Merger Sub 2 Shares: by virtue of the SPAC Merger and without any action on the part of any party to the Merger Agreement or the holders of securities of Merger Sub 2, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub 2that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall automatically be converted into an equal number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock.

RFAC Units. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, each RFAC Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall be automatically separated and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock, one RFAC Public Warrant, and one RFAC Public Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable RFAC Unit, which underlying securities of RFAC shall be adjusted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 2.3(g).

127

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RFAC Public Rights. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, and immediately following the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with Section 2.3(g)(i) above, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any party hereto or the holders of RFAC Capital Stock, each holder of 10 or more RFAC Public Rights shall be deemed to hold one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock for each 10 such RFAC Public Rights (including all RFAC Public Rights that were included in the RFAC Units).

RFAC Common Stock. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, and immediately following the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with Section 2.3(g)(i) of the Merger Agreement and the exchange of each RFAC Public Right in accordance with Section 2.3(g)(ii) of the Merger Agreement above, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers and without any action on the part of any party hereto or the holders of RFAC Capital Stock each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive a newly issued PubCo Share. As of the SPAC Merger Effective Time, each RFAC Stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to RFAC.

RFAC Treasury Stock. Notwithstanding any provision of the Merger Agreement to the contrary, at the SPAC Merger Effective Time, if there are any shares of RFAC Capital Stock that are owned by RFAC as treasury shares or any shares of RFAC Capital Stock owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of RFAC immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, such shares of RFAC Capital Stock shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment or other consideration therefor.

RFAC Public Warrants. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, without any action on the part of any holder of a RFAC Public Warrant, each RFAC Public Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time (but after giving effect to the separation of each RFAC Unit in accordance with Section 2.3(g)(i) of the Merger Agreement) shall, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.5 of the RFAC Warrant Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such RFAC Public Warrant shall no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock set forth therein and in substitution thereof such RFAC Public Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire such equal number of PubCo Ordinary Shares. Each PubCo Public Warrant/Assumed Warrant shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such RFAC Public Warrant as of immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, except that each PubCo Public Warrant/Assumed Warrant shall be exercisable for shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares rather than RFAC Class A Common Stock In connection therewith and prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, RFAC and PubCo shall take all actions necessary to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (as defined below) pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Merger Agreement.

Exclusivity

Except in connection with Transaction Financing, each of the Company and RFAC has agreed not to, and to cause its Representatives not to, until the earlier of Closing or the valid termination of the Merger Agreement, (i) initiate any negotiations with any Person with respect to, or provide any non-public information or data concerning the Company and RFAC or their respective subsidiaries, to any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction or afford to any Person access to the business, properties, assets or personnel of any GCL Company or RFAC or any of their respective subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction, (ii) enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement, or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle, or any other agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction, (iii) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any confidentiality agreement or the anti-takeover laws of any state relating to an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction, or (iv) otherwise knowingly facilitate any such inquiries, proposals, discussions, or negotiations or any effort or attempt by any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction. Each of the Company and RFAC shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction or Acquisition Proposal.

129

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Covenants of the Parties

The Merger Agreement includes customary covenants of the parties with respect to the operation of their respective businesses prior to the consummation of the Mergers and efforts to satisfy conditions to the consummation of the Merger. The Merger Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants providing for (i) PubCo and GCL Global maintaining a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, (ii) delivery by the Company of the Audited Company Financials on or before February 29, 2024, (iii) if it is determined by the parties to the Merger Agreement that it is probably the Transactions will not be consummated on or prior to December 28, 2023, the filing and mailing of proxy materials to be sent to the stockholders, of RFAC seeking approval to extend the duration of the RFAC through September 30, 2024, (iv) the Company and RFAC to cause a registration statement to be filed to register the shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Transactions (the “Registration Statement”) to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Mergers. The Company and RFAC have also agreed to obtain all requisite approvals of their respective stockholders including, without limitation, (a) approval of the Transactions, (b) approval of the PubCo Equity Incentive Plan, (c) any other proposals as the SEC may indicate are necessary in its comments to the Registration Statement or correspondence related thereto, (d) to remove the requirement from RFAC’s Governing Documents limiting redemptions and consummation of a business combination if the surviving company would not have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and any other proposals as determined by RFAC and PubCo to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transactions, and (e) adjournment of the RFAC Stockholder Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of RFAC because there are insufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing or for such other reasons as the chairman of the RFAC Stockholder Meeting may deem necessary.

The Merger Agreement also includes a covenant for RFAC, the Company, and Sponsor to use reasonable best efforts to obtain transaction financing, in the form of signed agreements for a private placement of equity or other alternative financing in an aggregate amount of not less than $20,000,000 (“Transaction Financing”). In connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction financing, PubCo has agreed to reserve 2,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (such shares, the “Incentive Shares”), to be allocated as determined by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, none of which Incentive Shares shall be subject to any lock-up period or restrictions, and may be considered additional consideration to the Sponsor if retained by the Sponsor at Closing. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we expect the Sponsor to retain all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the 2,000,000 Incentive Shares are separate from, and in addition to, the $33,025,000 Convertible Notes issued or to be issued by GCL pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements.

Termination

Prior to the Closing, the Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned:

(i) by mutual written consent of the Company and RFAC, if the Transactions have not been completed by the Termination Date;

(ii) by written notice from the Company or RFAC to the other if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Governmental Order which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions;

(iii) by written notice from the Company or RFAC to the other if the RFAC Stockholders’ Approval shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at the RFAC Stockholder Meeting duly convened therefor or at any adjournment or postponement thereof;

(iv) by written notice from RFAC to the Company if the Company Written Consent shall not have been obtained within five business days after the Registration Statement becomes effective;

(v) by written notice to the Company from RFAC if (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or any Acquisition Entity set forth in the

PubCo Incentive Plan

PubCo has agreed to adopt, subject to stockholder approval, a stock incentive plan (the “PubCo Equity Incentive Plan”) to be effective as of the Closing. The PubCo Equity Incentive Plan shall provide for the reservation of an aggregate number of shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to up to 15% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately after the Closing, for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan.

Expenses

Except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement, each party thereto shall be responsible for and pay its own expenses incurred in connection with the Agreement and the Transactions, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants; provided, that if the Closing occurs, PubCo shall pay or cause to be paid, as applicable, (a) SPAC Transaction Expenses up to the Maximum Allowable SPAC Transaction Expenses, in accordance with Section 2.6(c) of the Merger Agreement, and (b) the Company Transaction Expenses.

Governing Law

The Merger Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of Laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction (provided that the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of the Company, the Initial Merger and any exercise of appraisal and dissention rights with respect to the Initial Merger, shall in each case be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands).

In December 2024, PubCo, the Company and GCL Global Pte. Ltd., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“GCL Global SG”) entered into substantially the same Note Purchase Agreements for an additional $3,000,000 of Convertible Notes.

Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the Business Combination are the result of arm’s-length negotiations between representatives of RFAC and the Company. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting Business Combination.

RFAC is a blank-check company incorporated in Delaware on January 11, 2021, and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

With respect to the companies it evaluated, RFAC executed non-disclosure agreements with ten (10) potential target businesses and entered into substantive discussions with many of these potential target businesses, substantial stockholders thereof and/or transaction intermediaries. Among the potential targets RFAC had substantive discussions with, RFAC executed three (3) letters of intent (including one with the Company).

The two other potential targets RFAC executed letters of intent with were (i) a leading fruit producer, retailer and exporter (“Target A”), and (ii) a technological-social inclusion space technology company (“Target B”). RFAC engaged in due diligence and discussions with each of Target A and Target B from October 2022 to October 2023 until RFAC determined to focus on the potential Business Combination with the Company, at which point RFAC allowed the letter of intent with Target A to lapse, and RFAC and Target B terminated their letter of intent.

On September 8, 2022, representatives from Target A met with representatives from RFAC to explore the potential transaction.

From September 13, 2022 through September 16, 2023, RFAC met with Target A representatives, including Target A’s CFO, to discuss Target A’s finances.

On October 6, 2022, RFAC and the Company began discussions regarding signing a letter of intent.

On October 10, 2022, Tse Meng Ng, a representative of RFAC, reached out to Adrian Tan, a representative of the Company, about entering into a business discussion. On October 10, 2022, Adrian Tan from the Company introduced Dr. Michelle Shen, a financial advisor, to RFAC. On October 20, 2022, RFAC submitted to the Company an initial draft of a letter of intent in response to the Company’s inquiry.

Between October 10, 2022 and October 25, 2022, Tse Meng Ng from RFAC; Jacky Choo, Paul Wong and Adrian Tan from the Company; and financial advisors Dr. Michelle Shen and Dr. Ada Zhao held multiple face-to-face meetings to discuss the terms of the letter of intent and subsequent drafts of the letter of intent were exchanged. Key matters addressed in these drafts included the negotiated pre-transaction enterprise value of the Company, which was finalized after a series of discussions between the Company and RFAC that occurred between October 13, 2023 through October 15, 2023, the amount that the Sponsor would invest in the Company as part of the Transaction, the pro forma ownership of the post-Transaction

company, the lock-up period applicable to Company Shareholders, the minimum cash condition, and the terms under which the Company might raise additional capital between execution of the letter of intent and signing of a transaction agreement.

On October 25, 2022, RFAC and the Company agreed to the terms of the letter of intent subject to approval by each of their respective boards of directors. On Oct 26, 2022, RFAC and the Company received the consent of their respective boards of directors and executed the letter of intent (the “LOI”), which included, among other terms, (i) a pre-transaction equity valuation of $400.0 million, (ii) a 12-month lock-up period applicable to any shares of PubCo held by the Sponsor and certain Company shareholders, (iii) that the Sponsor and PubCo would enter into a customary registration rights agreement, (iv) that the parties thereto would agree on a customary post-closing management equity incentive compensation plan, (v) that Sponsor would have the right to designate two directors to the PubCo board, (vi) that the parties would cooperate to obtain transaction financing of up to $30,000,000, and (vii) a mutual exclusivity period.

On October 27, 2022, RFAC and Target A entered into a letter of intent after finalizing its terms.

On November 14, 2022, RFAC went on a site visit to inspect Target A’s farms and retail outlets.

On November 23, 2022, RFAC entered into further discussions with Target A’s CFO to discuss the diligence process of the proposed transaction.

On December 13, 2022, a virtual data room was set up with RFAC’s M&A legal counsel, Winston & Strawn LLP (“W&S”) for the proposed transaction with Target A. However, the transaction with Target A did not materialize as Target A was unable to provide the requested financial statements to be audited.

On December 15, 2022, the Company provided RFAC and its representatives with access to a virtual data room (the “Data Room”) containing due diligence materials for RFAC to review and additional diligence materials subsequently requested by RFAC from the Company.

Shortly thereafter, RFAC engaged W&S, to represent it in connection with the Business Combination. From that point through execution of the Merger Agreement, the RFAC management team, RFAC’s advisors and representatives of EarlyBirdCapital Inc. (“EBC”) conducted due diligence of the Company, including, without limitation, a review of all materials in the Data Room, requests for additional diligence, a review of any additional information provided throughout the course of the review, and multiple due diligence video and telephone conference calls with the Company’s management team and employees, including Jacky Choo, Sebastien Toke, Ooi Chee Eng and Paul Wong, and financial advisors Dr. Michelle Shen and Dr. Ada Zhao. Additional information was provided in the Data Room and a number of follow-up diligence calls were hosted, as requested by RFAC, during which members of the RFAC team, including Tse Meng Ng, Han Hsiung Lim, Simon Ong, Melvin Ong, Vincent Yang and Guo Lu; the Company’s team, including Jacky Choo, Sebastien Toke, Ooi Chee Eng and Paul Wong; financial advisors Dr. Michelle Shen and Dr. Ada Zhao; and representatives from W&S discussed an overview of the Company and its current and future products; technology; operations; customer pipeline; sales and marketing; corporate legal structure and material contracts; intellectual property portfolio; historical, current and projected financial condition and financial modeling; employment structure; human resources; and related matters. Such diligence continued as requested by RFAC through the negotiation and finalization of the definitive documents and associated schedules, including bring-down diligence prior to signing the definitive transaction agreements.

On January 30, 2023, the Company engaged its U.S. securities counsel, Loeb & Loeb (“Loeb”) to represent it in connection with the Business Combination.

On March 6, 2023, W&S conducted an internal discussion and then spoke with RFAC and GCL regarding proposed transaction structures and relevant precedent for proceeding with a tax-efficient structure. Due to the Company’s organization outside of the United States, along with the fact that the Company’s assets and management are primarily located outside the United States, the parties discussed structuring the transaction using a “double dummy” structure whereby a newly incorporated, Cayman Islands company would acquire both RFAC and the Company via Delaware and Cayman Islands subsidiaries, respectively, and have its ordinary shares publicly listed on a stock exchange, with the new public company being registered with the SEC as a foreign private issuer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On March 6, 2023, the Company presented to the RFAC Board, Sponsor and RFAC’s advisors its business and operations plan for capital-raising and expansion and growth. The Company initially proposed fundraising initiatives targeting $20 million either prior to, or contemporaneously with, the closing of the transaction.

On March 10, 2023, the RFAC Board held a special meeting. In addition to a quorum of the RFAC Board, the meeting was attended by members of the RFAC team, including Tse Meng Ng, Han Hsiung Lim, Simon Ong, Melvin Ong, Vincent Yang and Guo Lu; members of the Company’s team, including Jacky Choo, Sebastien Toke, Ooi Chee Eng and Paul Wong; financial advisors Dr. Michelle Shen and Dr. Ada Zhao; counsel from W&S; representatives from EBC, including Steven Levine, Mike Powell, Marc VanTrichet, Mauro Conijeski, Anna Wei and Douglas Rogers; representatives of the Company; officers of RFAC; and representatives of the Sponsor.

An earn-out model and alternative financing options were discussed.

On March 16, 2023, following discussion between each parties’ respective tax counsel at W&S and Loeb, and a review of transaction structure slides, the parties ultimately agreed on a “double dummy” transaction structure and commenced drafting of the transaction documents.

On March 24, 2023, RFAC held a special meeting of the stockholders at which RFAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from March 28, 2023 to December 28, 2023.

On March 28, 2023, the RFAC team reviewed initial drafts of the ancillary agreements to the Business Combination.

Between March 2023 and June 2023, each party’s respective legal counsel exchanged drafts of transaction documents and negotiated various commercial terms, including whether to include an earnout, how to properly value the Company, any necessary transaction financing covenants and the mechanics of the Company’s anticipated pre-closing restructuring.

Following the discussions between the parties, RFAC, the Company and their respective financial advisors and attorneys organized their efforts for the alternative financing investment, including RFAC and its advisors providing additional comments on the investor presentation prepared by the Company, and EBC identifying potential investors to approach regarding a prospective investment.

On July 11, 2023, RFAC and W&S had a conference call to discuss proposed revisions to the Merger Agreement and other commercial terms.

During the week of July 12, 2023, RFAC and the Company discussed revisions to the valuation of the Company based on the valuations of third party companies in the same industry and other terms of the alternative financing, in order to raise sufficient proceeds from the investment.

On July 14, 2023, the RFAC Board convened to review a board presentation from W&S with respect to the fiduciary duties in the transaction structure.

On July 18, 2023, the RFAC Board met virtually to review and discuss the board presentation and Business Combination. The Board voted to approve the Business Combination.

On August 2, 2023, RFAC contacted representatives from Target B to discuss consummating a transaction between RFAC and Target B. After the preliminary discussion, the RFAC Board considered the possibility of consummating a business combination with Target B as Target B had cleared the SEC F-1 filing requirement.

On October 12, 2023, Target B made a presentation to the RFAC Board and EBC discussing the possibility of Target B and RFAC entering into a transaction. However, afterwards, RFAC decided to focus on the potential Business Combination with the Company instead and did not move forward with the negotiations with Target B and the letter of intent with Target B was terminated.

From June 12, 2023 through October 15, 2023, representatives of RFAC, the Company and their respective legal counsel conducted various telephonic conferences regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and exchanged drafts and negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements related to the Business Combination, including the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement, the Shareholder Support Agreement, the Sponsor Support Agreement and the Lock-up Agreement. During this period, the parties negotiated and resolved open items in the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. In particular, the negotiations focused on an increase to the minimum cash condition, which security holders of the Company would be required to sign the Shareholder Support Agreement and the Lock-up Agreement and the corresponding conditions to closing; the Sponsor’s right to assign a portion of its subscription to participate in the alternative investment prior to Closing; PubCo’s governance structure; the interim and joint covenants; and the amount and allocation of fees to be paid to EBC. Following discussions with the Company’s management on the pipeline of publishing opportunities and projected revenue growth from sales of game activation keys and related products since the LOI was signed in October 2022, certain planned acquisitions, and the significant market opportunities in the anti-piracy sector that the Company had started tapping into, RFAC proposed an enterprise value of the Company of $1.0 billion.

RFAC Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination

The RFAC Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the RFAC Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Individual members of the RFAC Board may have given different weight to different factors. The RFAC Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated security holders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Business Combination and/or preparing any report concerning the approval of the Business Combination. After evaluating all criteria stated herein, the Board determined that it was in the best interests of RFAC and its security holders to proceed with the Business Combination. Certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward- Looking Statements.”

Before reaching its decision, the RFAC Board reviewed the results of the due diligence conducted by its management and RFAC’s advisors, which included:

•

review of material contracts and other material matters of the Company, including, but not limited to, (i) the Company’s key strategic partners in the gaming sector, (ii) the terms and conditions of any multi-year partnerships between the Company and key gaming publishers or developers, and (iii) the terms and conditions of any material commercial agreements;

138

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

consultation with RFAC management and its legal counsel and financial advisor;

•

review of historical financial performance of the Company (including unaudited financials);

•

review of the Company management’s projected total revenue increase from $81.1 million for fiscal year 2023 to $150.7 million for fiscal year 2024, including a 76% increase in distribution revenue, 287% in publishing revenue, 5.88% increase in TDM’s revenue and 52.1% increase in 2Game’s revenue;

•

review of the Company’s plans to enter the $336.4 billion toys and games market through leveraging the Company’s technology and distribution network; and

•

the Company’s senior and experienced management team and their crucial role in meeting the financial and valuation analyses of the Company.

Interests of RFAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

•

the RFAC Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor for $4,450,500 and by EBC for $549,500 will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated;

•

if RFAC does not complete an initial business combination by March 28, 2025 (or a later date approved by RFAC Stockholders pursuant to the RFAC Charter), the proceeds from the sale of the

139

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RFAC Private Placement Warrants of $5 million, which includes the Sponsor’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants and EBC’s RFAC Private Placement Warrants, will be included in the liquidating distribution to RFAC Public Stockholders and the RFAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless;

•

the fact that upon completion of the Business Combination, a business combination marketing fee of $4.025 million will be payable to EBC;

•

the fact that RFAC’s existing officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the business combination and pursuant to the Merger Agreement; and

•

Tse Meng Ng, RFAC’s current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, will join PubCo Board upon completion of the Business Combination.

In connection with the IPO and the appointment of each of its directors and officers, RFAC entered into agreements with the Sponsor and each of its directors and officers pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of RFAC Common Stock owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. These agreements apply to the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers as it relates to the Sponsor Founders Shares and RFAC Common Stock the requirement to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, we would not need the approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated security holders of RFAC in order to consummate the Business Combination. We would need none of the 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved.

The existence of the interests described above may result in a conflict of interest on the part of RFAC’s officers and directors in entering into the Merger Agreement and making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. In particular, the existence of the interests described above may incentivize RFAC’s officers and directors to complete an initial business combination, even if on terms less favorable to RFAC’s stockholders compared to liquidating RFAC, because, among other things, if RFAC is liquidated without completing an initial business combination, the Sponsor’s Founder Shares and RFAC Private Placement Warrants would be worthless (which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be worth an aggregate of approximately $33.1 million based on the closing price of RFAC Class A Common Stock and RFAC Warrant on December 20, 2024), out-of-pocket expenses advanced by the Sponsor and loans made by the Sponsor to RFAC would not be repaid to the extent such amounts exceed cash held by RFAC outside of the Trust Account (which such expenses and loans, as of September 30, 2024, amounted to $1,504,559), and EBC would not receive business combination marketing fees amounting to $4.025 million, in the aggregate.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers in the Merger

Certain Forecasted Information for the Company

Prior to RFAC Board’s approval of the Business Combination in October 2023, the Company provided RFAC with internally prepared forecasts for each of the years ending March 31, 2024 through 2026. GCL Group does not as a matter of course make public forecasts as to future results. This prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards or U.S. GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The prospective financial and operating information were prepared solely for internal use, capital budgeting and other management purposes. The forecasts are subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments. The forecasts reflects the best available estimates and judgments, and presents, to the best of GCL Group management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future performance of GCL Group at the time. This information should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective information for it may be materially different from actual results. Please also see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

The projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to GCL Group’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to change and many of which are beyond the Company and RFAC’s control. The projections are forward-looking statements that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. See “Risk Factors,” “The Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects and thus are subject to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. We encourage you to review the Company’s financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus as well as the section entitled “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial and Data of the Company,” “Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” and “The Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, A SUMMARY OF THE PROJECTIONS FOR THE COMPANY, NEITHER RFAC NOR THE COMPANY UNDERTAKES ANY OBLIGATIONS, AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE OR REVISE, OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THESE PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THESE PROJECTIONS.

The key elements of the projections provided to and relied upon by the RFAC Board for purposes of its financial analyses and approval, are summarized in the table below:

Projected Revenue ($m)	FY2024		FY2025		FY2026
Game Distribution, Marketing and acquired businesses(1)		123.2		202.2		241.3
Game Publishing(2)		27.5		49.3		67.7
Total Revenue		150.7		251.5		309.0

Projected EBITDA ($m)	FY2024		FY2025		FY2026
Game Distribution, Marketing and acquired businesses(1)		10.0		14.6		18.6
Game Publishing(2)		4.1		6.9		10.1
EBITDA		14.1		21.5		28.7
Net Profit Before Tax		3.0		12.7		17.3
Net Profit After Tax		1.5		10.2		14.1

(1)

This assumes completion of two acquisitions during FY2024 contributing approximately $31.0 million of revenue to the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, and two additional acquisitions during FY2025 contributing approximately $62.5 million of revenue to the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, although no definitive agreements have been signed.

(2)

This assumes receipt of Transaction Financing during FY2024 to fund up to seven publishing contracts during FY2024, although no subscription agreement for the Transaction Financing has been signed.

The Company’s financial projections primarily rely on growth in revenue streams generated from its four business segments (i) game distribution; (ii) game publishing; (iii) video marketing campaign and social media advertising services by TDM; and (iv) sales of activation keys and related products by 2Game:

142

TABLE OF CONTENTS

These projections are subject to certain key assumptions stated above, and include among others:

•

up to 44 new game titles and over 440 SKUs the Company has signed up, or has in the pipeline for distribution, and the timing of the release of these games during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024;

•

consummation of the Business Combination and receipt of $20.0 million of Transaction Financing before March 31, 2024, with a portion of the funding used to invest in up to seven publishing deals during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024;

•

the number of new game titles the Company plans to publish, the timing of their release and revenue generation;

•

the approximately 20% profit margin of the publishing business in general;

•

4Divinity’s ability to build on the Company’s early success in its relatively new publishing business to secure high profit margin publishing contracts and build a strong pipeline;

•

the more than 50% growth in the sales of the activation keys business from fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 to fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, based on certain pre-determined revenue targets for 2Game and added revenue from sales of related product sales;

•

the completion of contemplated acquisition of two game distributors before March 31, 2024, contributing approximately $31.0 million to game distribution revenue for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, although no definitive agreement was executed at this time; and

•

the completion of two other strategic acquisitions by March 31, 2025, contributing to the Company approximately $62.5 million of revenue.

Since neither the Business Combination nor the Transaction Financing was completed before March 31, 2024, the Company has delayed negotiations with potential acquisition targets. The Company currently anticipates closing two, not four, strategic acquisitions (although no definitive agreements have been signed at this time) during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, assuming that both the Business Combination and the Transaction Financing would close prior to March 28, 2025.

Since neither the Business Combination nor the Transaction Financing was completed before March 31, 2024, the Company has conserved its cash to pay for ongoing transaction expenses and other operating expenses, instead of investing in publishing deals as originally planned for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. This has also resulted in the Company losing several publishing contract opportunities between October 2023 and March 2024. There was also a delay on the part of the game studio to release Stalker 2:Heart of Chornobyl¸ from March 2024 to November 2024. Also because of this delayed game release from FY2024 to FY2025 and the lack of funding originally planned for investment in publishing deals during FY2024, management has revised its FY2025 and FY2026 projections as follows:

June 2024 Projections

Projected Revenue ($m)	FY2025		FY2026
Game Distribution, Marketing and acquired businesses		226.9(1)		454.3(2)
Game Publishing		23.9(3)		42.9(4)
Total Revenue		250.8		497.2

Projected EBITDA ($m)	FY2025		FY2026
Game Distribution, Marketing and acquired businesses		13.5(1)		28.9(2)
Game Publishing		9.7(3)		13.4(4)
EBITDA		23.2		42.3
Net Profit Before Tax		16.6		34.5
Net Profit After Tax		13.7		28.7

(1)

This assumes (i) launching of a new technology platform (‘‘Playcube”) before end of September 2024 contributing approximately $44.1 million of game distribution revenue to the Company during FY2025;

143

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii) completion of an acquisitions of a game distributor, contributing approximately $23.5 million of game distribution revenue to the Company for FY2025, although only a non-binding memorandum of understanding between the parties, and no definitive agreement, has been signed at this time, and (iii) completion of an additional strategic acquisition contributing approximately $42.8 million of revenue to the Company for FY2025, although no memorandum of understanding or definitive agreement has been signed at this time.

(2)

This assumes (i) Playcube contributing approximately $69.7 million of game distribution revenue to the Company during FY2026; (ii) completion of two more strategic acquisitions contributing an aggregate of approximately $189.0 million of revenue to the Company during FY2026 and the full year revenue recognition of such activities during FY 2026.

(3)

This assumes receipt of Transaction Financing during FY2025 to fund up to seven publishing contracts during FY2025. However, no definitive agreement in connection with the Transaction Financing has been signed at this time.

(4)

This assumes completion of an investment in a game studio contributing approximately $34 million of revenue to the Company during FY2026 and the launch of a game for which the Company will have exclusive publishing rights before the end of FY2026.

Segment revenue projections

These June 2024 projections are subject to certain updated assumptions stated above, and include among others:

•

up to 49 new game titles and over 530 SKUs to be distributed by the Company, and the timing of the release of these games during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025;

•

consummation of the Business Combination and receipt of $20.0 million of Transaction Financing before September 30, 2024, with a portion of the funding used for acquisitions and to invest in up to seven publishing deals during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025; and

•

receipt of post-closing financing of up to $45.0 million from what is currently expected to be a combination of bank loan, equity line of credit and revolving credit facilities to support the Company’s continued growth.

More than half of 2Game’s revenue during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was generated from Europe and the Americas. 2Game’s continued growth is expected to give the Company a platform to expand its geographical reach outside of Asia. As the Company gains global exposure, management believes that it can secure high profit margin publishing contracts with international game publishers. The game publishing business is highly scalable, limited only by the amount of funds available to

144

TABLE OF CONTENTS

invest in game publishing deals. Black Myth: Wukong and Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl are among the top 5 “Most Wishlisted Upcoming Steam Games”1 as of today. With the launch of these two games scheduled to be around November or December of 2024, we expect a higher revenue growth from these two titles during FY2026 compared to FY2025. Assuming that the Company can successfully raise the Transaction Financing prior to, or contemporaneously with, the closing of the Business Combination, the Company can invest in more game publishing deals with potentially even higher gross margin.

The Company is building a new technology platform (“Playcube”). If Playcube can (i) allow game studios to upload activation keys into the digital vault and retail partners to purchase these activation keys from the digital vault real time, (ii) track discount sales to allow for live price adjustments of activation keys in the digital vault during any sales discount periods; and (iii) provide inventory and sales reporting for activation keys in the digital vault, improving sales data reporting to the game studios, we believe this will be a strong catalyst for the Company to sign more distribution agreements with game studios, and add new sales channel partners to the Company’s distribution network.

The Company is also actively exploring strategic acquisition opportunities with complementary businesses that are accretive to the Company’s operating results. With the right targets under the Company’s leadership and management, GCL Group expects strategic acquisitions over the next 12 months will help it expand its sales channel, gain market share and presence in regional markets, and also grow into a fully integrated ecosystem in the gaming industry.

It is currently anticipated that sometime in 2025, a sequel of a top-tier video game franchise will be released by one of our game studio partners. GCL Group has been selling this top video game franchise in Asia since 2015 and the sale of this video game franchise has contributed an aggregate of approximately $24.0 million to our distribution revenue to date. Although there are no assurances at this time that we will be given the distribution rights for this long-awaited sequel when it is first released in Asia, we have reasons to believe that based on our track record, sales history and relationship with the game studio, we will obtain such distribution rights and we expect high sales volume and distribution revenue of over $33.0 million from this sequel during FY2026.

There is also a widespread market expectation that Nintendo will launch its next generation console — Nintendo Switch 2, during our FY2026. When a new generation of console is released, there is typically a spike in market demand for the new console and games. For the same reasons why PlayStation 5 was sold out globally during the first two years of its release, we believe this launch of Nintendo Switch 2 will result in spike in demand for not only the game consoles but also the console games during FY2026. If we are successful in executing our growth strategies, we expect this launch will result in a meaningful increase in our games distribution and ancillary product sales revenues for FY2026.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, the Company will be considered the “acquiring” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the holders of the Company expecting to have a majority of the voting power of PubCo, the Company’s senior management comprising all of the senior management of PubCo, the relative size of the Company compared to RFAC, and the Company’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of PubCo. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of RFAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of RFAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of the Company. PubCo has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under each of the No Redemption Scenario, 50% Redemption Scenario and Maximum Redemption Scenario:

•

Company shareholders will have a relative majority of the voting power of PubCo;

•

Company shareholders will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors of PubCo;

•

Company senior management will comprise the senior management roles of PubCo and be responsible for the day-to-day operations of PubCo;

•

the relative size of the Company is significantly larger compared to RFAC;

•

PubCo will assume the Company name; and

•

the intended strategy and operations of PubCo will continue the Company’s current strategy and operations.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to the Business Combination

As described more fully under the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination” below (including the discussion of Section 367(a) of the Code), the parties to the Merger Agreement intend that the exchange by U.S. holders of their RFAC Public Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, taken together with the related transactions, qualified either as a transfer of property to a corporation under Section 351 of the Code or as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code. However, these treatments are not free from doubt (and in particular the potential for the SPAC Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code is subject to significant factual and legal uncertainties as there is an absence of guidance directly on point as to how the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with investment-type assets, such as RFAC) and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth under the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination,” including the discussion therein regarding the potential application of Section 367(a) of the Code to the SPAC Merger, and in the U.S. federal income filed as Exhibit 8.1, and based on customary tax representations obtained from certain parties to the Merger Agreement, it is the opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP, counsel to RFAC, that the SPAC Merger should qualify as part of a Section 351 transaction. However, due to the uncertainties described above and in further detail in the section entitled “Material Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination,” Winston & Strawn LLP is unable to opine on the qualification of the SPAC Merger as a Section 368(a) reorganization.

RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Shares treated as having been exchanged therefor) and (ii) the fair market value of the PubCo Public Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. In either case, unless the SPAC Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code then such transfer would not be eligible for nonrecognition. The requirements for qualification of the SPAC Merger as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code are more stringent in certain respects than the requirements for qualification as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code. U.S. holders of RFAC Public Warrants are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the treatment of their RFAC Public Warrants in connection with the Business Combination and whether an exchange of RFAC Public Warrants for PubCo Public Warrants qualifies as part of a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

Holders of shares of RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights should read carefully the information included under “Material Tax Considerations” for a detailed discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination, including the receipt of cash pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights with respect to the RFAC Public Shares, and the material U.S. federal consequences of the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants after the Business Combination. Holders of RFAC Public Shares and RFAC Public Warrants are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or other income and other tax laws) of the Business Combination, including the U.S. federal income tax consequences and state, local or other tax consequences of the acquisition, holding, redemption and disposal of PubCo Ordinary Shares or the acquisition, holding, exercise or disposal of PubCo Public Warrants.

Regulatory Approvals

Vote Required for Approval of the Business Combination Proposal

The Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby) will be approved and adopted only if the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote via the virtual meeting platform at the Special Meeting or an abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of RFAC Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination. As a result, we would need none of the 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers have not purchased any RFAC Public Shares.

Recommendation of the RFAC Board

THE RFAC BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT RFAC STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE ADVISORY GOVERNANCE PROPOSALS

Overview

As required by SEC guidance requiring that shareholders have the opportunity to present their views on important corporate governance provisions, RFAC is requesting that RFAC’s stockholders vote upon proposals to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain governance provisions in PubCo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “PubCo Charter”), which are separately being presented. These separate votes are not required by Delaware or Cayman Islands law. Accordingly, the stockholder votes regarding the Advisory Governance Proposals are advisory votes and are not binding on RFAC, PubCo or their respective board of directors. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals.

Governance Proposals

The following is a non-exhaustive summary of the material differences between the RFAC Charter and PubCo Charter. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the PubCo Charter, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. We urge all stockholders to read the PubCo Charter in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. Additionally, as the RFAC Charter is governed by the DGCL and the PubCo Charter will be governed by the Cayman Companies Act, we encourage stockholders to carefully consult the information set out under the “Description of PubCo’s Securities — Comparison of Rights of PubCo Shareholders and RFAC Stockholders” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

	RFAC CHARTER	PUBCO CHARTER
Governance Proposal A – Authorized Shares of Stock	The RFAC Charter authorizes a total of 401,000,000 shares consisting of 380,000,000 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock; 20,000,000 shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock	The authorized share capital of the PubCo is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each.
Governance Proposal B – Dual Class of Stock	The RFAC Charter provides for two classes of RFAC Common Stock — Class A and Class B — with the shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock to convert into shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock upon completion of an initial business combination	The PubCo Charter provides for only one class of ordinary shares although it authorizes the board to divide the authorized ordinary shares into different classes which may have differing rights and restrictions, as determined by the board.
Governance Proposal C – Provisions Applicable to Blank Stock Companies.	Article IX of the RFAC Charter sets forth various provisions that are applicable to RFAC’s operation as a blank check company prior to its initial business combination.	The PubCo Charter does not include any of these blank check company provisions.
Governance Proposal D – Removal of Directors	RFAC’s Charter provides that directors may only be removed for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares; further, as long as there are any shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock outstanding, any removal will also require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the RFAC Class B Common Stock shares outstanding.	Under the PubCo Charter, any director may be removed, with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution which requires the affirmative of a simple majority of the shares entitled to vote at a general meeting of PubCo. Directors may also be removed by notice in writing signed by not less than three-fourths of all the Directors in number and may otherwise cease to hold office in any other manner provided for in the PubCo Charter.

148

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Reasons for the Approvals of the Advisory Governance Proposals

Governance Proposal A — Authorization of Shares

The RFAC board of directors believes that the new capitalization provided in PubCo Charter is necessary to accommodate the shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination, PubCo’s equity incentive plan, other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as well as any future issuance of shares necessary to raise additional capital for PubCo or in connection with acquisitions.

Governance Proposal B — Elimination of Dual Class of Stock

The dual classes of common stock in the RFAC Charter were established so as to distinguish between the shares sold to the founder and the shares sold to the public in the IPO. The RFAC Charter also provides that upon completion of an initial business combination all RFAC Class B Common Stock will convert into RFAC Class A Common Stock shares leaving only one class outstanding. As such, PubCo does not believe it is necessary to maintain two different classes of ordinary shares.

Governance Proposal C — Blank Check Provisions

The elimination of certain provisions related to RFAC’s status as a blank check company that are currently included in the RFAC Charter is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the PubCo Charter does not include the requirement that PubCo dissolve after a certain time period and allows it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and the Board believes it is the most appropriate period for the post-combination company following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in the RFAC Charter require that proceeds from RFAC’s IPO be held in the trust account until a business combination or liquidation of RFAC has occurred and provide for mandatory redemption rights for holders of Class A common stock sold in RFAC’s IPO in certain circumstances. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the PubCo Charter. PubCo may continue in existence until it is wound up in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act.

Governance Proposal D — Removal of Directors

RFAC’s Charter provides that directors may only be removed for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares; further, as long as there are any shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock outstanding, any removal will also require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the RFAC Class B Common Stock outstanding. PubCo Charter provides that directors may be removed by an ordinary resolution passed by the shareholders of PubCo. Directors may also be removed by notice in writing signed by not less than three-fourths of all the Directors in number and may otherewise cease to hold office in any other manner provided for in the PubCo Charter. RFAC’s board of directors believes that such a standard will give shareholders a greater say in who serves on the board and is more consistence with optimum corporate governance policies.

Required Vote and Recommendation of the Board

The approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals will require an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of RFAC as of the Record Date that are present and voted at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on the Advisory Governance Proposals.

As discussed above, the Advisory Governance Proposals are advisory votes and therefore are not binding on RFAC or RFAC’s board of directors. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Governance Proposals. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory votes on the Advisory Governance Proposals, RFAC and PubCo intend that PubCo Charter will take effect upon consummation of the Business Combination.

RFAC’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE RFAC’S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY GOVERNANCE PROPOSALS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL

Overview

We are proposing the Nasdaq Proposal in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a), (b), and (d). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares); or (B) the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares outstanding before the issuance of the shares or securities. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of PubCo Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares) at a price that is less than the lower of (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement, if the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares) to be issued equals to 20% or more of the PubCo Ordinary Shares, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

Reasons for the Nasdaq Proposal

In consideration of the Business Combination, PubCo will issue 120,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares with a deemed price per share of $10.0 to the shareholders of the Company. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement”. Because the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares we anticipate issuing as consideration in the Business Combination (1) will constitute more than 20% of PubCo Ordinary Shares outstanding and more than 20% of outstanding voting power prior to such issuance, and (2) will result in a change of control of RFAC, we are required to obtain shareholder approval of such issuance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (b).

Effect of Proposal on Current Shareholders

If the Nasdaq Proposal is adopted, up to an aggregate of 120,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares may be issued in connection with the Business Combination.

The issuance of the PubCo Ordinary Shares described above would result in significant dilution to our shareholders, and result in our shareholders having a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of the combined company.

Vote Required for Approval

The Nasdaq Proposal will be approved and adopted only if holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and voted at the Special Meeting vote “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal.

The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will have no effect even if approved by our shareholders. Because shareholder approval of the Nasdaq Proposal is a condition to completion of the Business Combination under the Merger Agreement, if the Nasdaq Proposal is not approved by our shareholders, the Business Combination will not occur.

Board Recommendation

The RFAC Board recommends a vote “FOR” adoption of the Nasdaq Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

We are asking our stockholders to approve and adopt the GCL Global Holdings Ltd Equity Incentive Plan (the “PubCo Equity Plan” or the “Plan”) and the material terms thereunder.

The following is a summary of certain terms and conditions of the PubCo Equity Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PubCo Equity Plan, a copy of which is included in this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

Summary of the PubCo Equity Plan

The purpose of the PubCo Equity Plan is to help us attract, motivate and retain such persons with awards under the PubCo Equity Plan and thereby enhance shareholder value.

Types of Awards. The PubCo Equity Plan permits the awards of options, share appreciation rights, rights to dividends and dividend equivalent right, restricted shares and restricted share units and other rights or benefits under the Plan.

Plan Administration. The PubCo Equity Plan shall be administrated by a committee formed in accordance with applicable stock exchange rules, unless otherwise determined by the Board of directors.

Shares available for Awards. The aggregate number of PubCo ordinary shares reserved and available for grant and issuance under the PubCo Equity Plan is [•]. Subject to any adjustments provided in the PubCo Equity Plan, such aggregate number of shares will automatically increase every April 1 of each year, in an amount equal to 3% of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding on March 31 of the preceding year.

Eligibility. Employees, members of the Board and consultants of Pubco and its affiliates are eligible to participate in the PubCo Equity Plan. An employee, a director or consultant who has been granted an award may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional awards.

Designation of Award. Each award under the PubCo Equity Plan is designated in an award agreement, which is a written agreement evidencing the grant of an award executed by the company and the grantee, including any amendments thereto.

Conditions of Award. Pubco’s board of directors or any entity appointed by its board of directors to administer the Plan shall determine the provisions, terms, and conditions of each award including, but not limited to, the award vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, and form of payment upon settlement of the award.

Terms of Award. The term of each award is stated in the award agreement between the company and the grantee of such award.

Transfer Restrictions. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator of the Plan, no award and no right under any such award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by the employee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution unless, if so determined by the administrator of the Plan, the employee may, in the manner established by such administrator, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the employee, and to receive any property distributable, with respect to any award upon the death of the employee.

Exercise of Award. Any award granted under the PubCo Equity Plan is exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the administrator under the terms of the Plan and specified in the award agreement.

INFORMATION ABOUT RFAC

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “us,” “our” refer to RFAC.

General

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on January 11, 2022, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this proxy statement/prospectus as our initial business combination. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although we were focused on companies operating within the financial services, media, technology, retail, interpersonal communication, transportation, and education sectors.

On March 28, 2022, RFAC consummated its IPO for the sale of 10,000,000 RFAC Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, and incurring offering costs of $3,803,330, of which $2,300,000 were underwriting fees and $1,503,330 were other offering costs. On March 30, 2022, the over-allotment option was exercised in full, generating additional gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Each RFAC Unit consists of one RFAC Public Share, one RFAC Public Warrant, and one RFAC Public Right. Each RFAC Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one RFAC Public Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments therein. Each RFAC Public Right entities the holder to receive one-tenth of one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustment, upon the consummation of a business combination. Only whole RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights will trade. The RFAC Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the business combination and will expire five years after the completion of our business combination or earlier upon redemption or our liquidation.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the RFAC Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreements, RFAC completed the private sale of 4,050,000 RFAC Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per RFAC Private Placement Warrant, and a sale of 500,000 RFAC Private Placement Warrants to the Underwriter, which generated total gross proceeds of $4,550,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, pursuant to the RFAC Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreements, RFAC completed the private sale of an additional 400,500 RFAC Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and 49,500 RFAC Private Placement Warrants to the Underwriter, at a purchase price of $1.00 per RFAC Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to RFAC of $450,000. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 28, 2022 and the exercise of the over-allotment option on March 30, 2022, an amount of $116,150,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the RFAC Units in the Initial Public Offering and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the RFAC Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting the certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

On March 24, 2022, the RFAC Units started trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RFACU.” On April 20, 2022, the RFAC Common Stock, RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights started trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “RFAC,” “RFACW” and “RFACR,” respectively.

On March 24, 2023, a special meeting was held where RFAC’s stockholders approved a proposal (the “Extension Amendment” or “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to amend and restated RFAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from March 28, 2023 to December 28, 2023, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months after March 28, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $300,000 or (ii) $0.12 for each share RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the

154

TABLE OF CONTENTS

lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) $0.04 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, until December 28, 2023 in exchange for a noninterest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. In connection therewith the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 7,391,973 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.29. On April 3, 2023, a total of $76,054,240 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, RFAC had a total of 4,108,027 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock outstanding held by public shareholders.

Additionally, on June 26, 2023, RFAC’s board of directors unanimously consented to the conversion of the RFAC Class B Common Stock to shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock on a one-for one basis. On June 26, 2023, RF Dynamic LLC, the sole holder of RFAC Class B Common Stock, also consented to the conversion of RFAC Class B Common Stock to shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. On July 7, 2023, RFAC instructed its transfer agent to initiate the conversion of the shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock to shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock. An aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share was converted into 2,875,000 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001.

Following the redemption, RFAC had a total of 2,744,649 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock outstanding held by public shareholders.

In connection therewith the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,170,280 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $11.23, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 13,136,585. Following the redemption, RFAC had a total of 1,774,369 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock outstanding held by public shareholders (inclusive of RFAC Class A Common Stock held by EBC). On each of October 1, 2024, October 29, 2024, and November 26, 2024, RFAC deposited

155

TABLE OF CONTENTS

into the Trust Account $47,231, which amount was provided by GCL, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to December 28, 2024.

As a result of the redemptions, RFAC now has less liquidity and fewer round-lot holders of RFAC Public Shares, which may make it more difficult for PubCo to meet all of the Nasdaq listing requirements. Since it is a condition to closing to receive the approval for listing by Nasdaq or the NYSE of the shares of PubCo to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the reduced public float may make it more difficult for RFAC to meet all of the Nasdaq listing requirements, and to consummate the Business Combination.

Our Sponsor

The Sponsor will not receive any compensation in connection with the Business Combination. However, in connection with the Business Combination, PubCo will reserve 2,000,000 Incentive Shares to be issued at the closing of the Business Combination, which shares are intended as an incentive in connection with non-redemption or similar agreements or sources of Transaction Financing, to be allocated by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. PubCo may also issue all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares, which are not subject to any lock-up agreements or restrictions, directly to the Sponsor, at their direction, at the closing of the Business Combination, in which case such shares may be considered additional consideration to the Sponsor if retained by the Sponsor. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we expect the Sponsor to retain all 2,000,000 Incentive Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the 2,000,000 Incentive Shares are separate from, and in addition to, the $33,025,000 Convertible Notes issued or to be issued by GCL pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements. During RFAC’s initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased (i) an aggregate of 2,875,000 founder shares in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, and (ii) 4,450,500 private placement warrants in exchange for a capital contribution of $4,450,500. Since the Sponsor initially only paid $25,000 for the founders shares, which it will retain at the closing of the Business Combination, as compared to the $10.00 per share price paid by the public shareholders in the initial public offering of RFAC, the Sponsor will still be able to make a positive rate of return even if the market price of the Ordinary Shares is very low after the Closing. Public shareholders who purchased in the initial public offering will only make a positive rate of return if the trading price exceeds $10.00 per share. Because the founder shares have already been issued, there will not be a material dilution to the equity interests of non-redeeming shareholders upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, as the private placement warrants have been issued but not yet been exercised, once exercised the private placement warrants could result in substantial dilution to the equity interests of non-redeeming shareholders after the consummation of the Business Combination.

To date there have been no arrangements under which the Sponsor intends to transfer ownership of its securities in RFAC. As of September 30, 2024, the total amount due to the Sponsor in connection with administrative services and various promissory notes issued by the Sponsor is $1,504,559.

Initial Business Combination

So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets

156

TABLE OF CONTENTS

held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. The RFAC Board will make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. The RFAC Board believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the Business Combination with the Company met this requirement.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

Pursuant to the RFAC Charter, our RFAC Public Stockholders may request that we redeem all or a portion of such stockholder’s RFAC Public Shares for cash if the initial business combination is consummated for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination, including interest (net of taxes payable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a RFAC Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such RFAC Public Stockholder or any other person with whom such RFAC Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate shares in excess of 15% of the aggregate RFAC Public Shares.

In connection with the IPO, EBC, the Sponsor and each of our officers and directors agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such waivers are standard in transactions of this type and the Sponsor, EBC, and RFAC’s officers and directors did not receive separate consideration for the waiver. Shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock underlying the 4,450,500 RFAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and our independent directors will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and RFAC’s directors and officers own an aggregate of 61.8% of our outstanding shares of RFAC Common Stock.

Redemption of RFAC Public Shares and Liquidation if no Initial Business Combination

If RFAC is unable to complete a Business Combination within the extended deadline of March 28, 2025 (the “Combination Period”), RFAC 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 RFAC to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish RFAC Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of RFAC’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to RFAC’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

EBC, our initial stockholders, and our Sponsor, executive officers, and directors have entered into written agreements with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Sponsor Founder Shares and EBC Founder Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period or any extended period of time that we may have to consummate a Business Combination as a result of an amendment to the RFAC Charter. However, if our initial stockholders, Sponsor or management team acquire public shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our Business Combination within the allotted time period.

EBC, our initial stockholders, and our sponsor, executive officers, and directors have agreed, pursuant to written agreements with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our RFAC Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period, or any extended period of time that we may have to consummate a business combination as a result of an amendment to the RFAC Charter, or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity. At the special meeting held on March 24, 2023, RFAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to

157

TABLE OF CONTENTS

amend RFAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from March 28, 2023 to December 28, 2023, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months after March 28, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $300,000 or (ii) $0.12 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) $0.04 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, until December 28, 2023 in exchange for a noninterest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. In the event RFAC decides to exercise any extension option, investors will not have voting rights nor redemption rights in connection with such additional three-month extension or one-month extensions.

At the special meeting held on December 20, 2023, RFAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from December 28, 2023 to September 28, 2024, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months after December 28, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $225,000 or (ii) $0.09 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $75,000 or (ii) $0.03 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, until September 28, 2024 in exchange for a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. Additionally, the stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to remove the net tangible asset requirement in order to expand the methods that RFAC may employ so as to not become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC. On December 27, 2023, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $225,000, which amount was provided by the Sponsor from the funds granted in connection with the Director Promissory Note issued by Melvin Xeng Thou, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination from December 28, 2023 to March 28, 2024. On each of March 25, 2024, April 25, 2024, May 24, 2024, June 25, 2024, July 24, 2024, and August 23, 2024, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $75,000, which amount was provided by the GCL, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to September 28, 2024.

At the special meeting held on September 23, 2024, RFAC’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the RFAC Charter to give RFAC the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from September 28, 2024 to March 28, 2025, composed of six (6) monthly extensions after September 28, 2024, by depositing into the Trust Account for each of the six monthly extensions, $0.03 for each share of RFAC Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, until March 28, 2025. In connection therewith the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,170,280 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $11.23, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 13,136,585. On each of October 1, 2024, October 29, 2024, and November 26, 2024, RFAC deposited into the Trust Account $47,231, which amount was provided by GCL, and extended the deadline to complete the business combination to December 28, 2024.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $4,066 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the private placements, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account and any tax payments or expenses for the dissolution of the trust, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.10. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our RFAC Public Stockholders. We cannot assure you that the actual

158

TABLE OF CONTENTS

per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.10. Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, our plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against us to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before we make any distribution of our remaining assets to our stockholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our RFAC Public Stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third-party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of the company under the circumstances. The underwriter of the IPO and our independent registered public accounting firm will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 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 $10.10 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of RFAC. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.10 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

If the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.10 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 $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.10 per share.

We will seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business

159

TABLE OF CONTENTS

execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to up to approximately $4,066 from the proceeds of the IPO with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). If we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our RFAC Public Stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period, may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our RFAC Public Stockholders upon the redemption of our RFAC Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period, is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish RFAC Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the Combination Period and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

160

TABLE OF CONTENTS

necessary to ensure that the amounts in the Trust Account are not reduced below (i) $10.10 per public share or (ii) 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 value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes and will not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

If we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.10 per share to our RFAC Public Stockholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying RFAC Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Our RFAC Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Combination Period, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our RFAC Charter to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within Combination Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of our initial business combination. In the event RFAC decides to exercise an extension option, investors will not have voting rights nor redemption rights in connection with such additional three-month extension or one-month extension. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. If we seek stockholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of our RFAC Charter, like all provisions of our RFAC Charter, may be amended with a stockholder vote.

Facilities

We do not own any real estate or other physical properties materially important to our operation. We currently maintain our principal executive offices at 111 Somerset, #05-06, Singapore 238164. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee we pay to the Sponsor for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. We consider our current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to our executive officers, adequate for our current operations.

Employees

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

Competition

If we succeed in effecting the Business Combination, in all likelihood, PubCo will face significant competition from the Company’s competitors. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to the Business

We have five directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Mr. Vincent Yang Hui, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Mr. Melvin Xeng Thou Ong, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Mr. Simon Eng Hock Ong and Mr. Tse Meng Ng, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders.

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to the RFAC Charter.

Director Independence

The rules of Nasdaq require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our Initial Public Offering. Our board of directors has determined that Melvin Ong Xeng Thou, Simon Eng Hock Ong, and Vincent Yang Hui are “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq rules and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Officer and Director Compensation

None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of our Business Combination and our liquidation, we have paid and will continue pay our Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team. In addition, we may elect to pay customary fees to our directors for director service. Our Sponsor, executive officers, and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will continue to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, executive

TABLE OF CONTENTS

officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to a Business Combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating a Business Combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, has been paid or will be paid by RFAC to our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our Business Combination.

After the completion of our Business Combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our Business Combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our Business Combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Committees of the RFAC Board

Our board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

We have an audit committee of the board of directors. Simon Eng Hock Ong and Vincent Yang Hui serve as members of our audit committee, and Simon Eng Hock Ong chairs the audit committee. All members of our audit committee are independent of and unaffiliated with our Sponsor and our underwriter.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Vincent Yang Hui qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

The audit committee is responsible for:

•

meeting with our independent registered accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

•

monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

•

verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

•

inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•

reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing stockholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of Simon Eng Hock Ong, Vincent Yang Hui, and Melvin Ong Xeng Thou chairs the compensation committee.

We adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

•

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

•

reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers;

•

reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

•

implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•

producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by our board of directors. Our board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who previously participated in the consideration and recommendation of the previous director nominees were Simon Eng Hock Ong and Vincent Yang Hui. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth

INFORMATION RELATED TO THE COMPANY

Overview

The Company, together with the Group Subsidiaries (“GCL Group”), is a leading marketer, distributor and publisher of video games and entertainment content sold in Asia. It sells and distributes to retailers and consumers in Asia physical and digital copies of video games through physical retailers, such as Sony PlayStation stores in Japan, and online channels in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and other Asian countries. Over 93.3% and approximately 87.9% of our total consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was derived from the sale of either games compatible with major gaming consoles such as Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Switch and personal computer (“PC”) to retailers, or game activation keys (the so-called “game codes”) via electronic delivery to retailers or end-users through email or download. The Company has its own creative media design team with studio facilities to produce marketing and promotional materials adapted to local markets and develop original content as part of its content creation or marketing business. Partnering with international video game publishers and developers, the Company has an established track record of selling and marketing top-tier video game franchises such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Sonic the Hedgehog and Cyberpunk 2077. The Company also has its own production studio and advertising agency, providing media and content advertising services for small and medium-sized enterprises (the “SMEs”) and government agencies. In 2022, the Company started to dedicate resources to the game publishing business by forming a wholly-owned subsidiary, 4Divinity, to invest in upcoming game titles as either a publisher or a co-publisher for the global market. GCL Group’s mission is to become the next Asian powerhouse in video games and entertainment content marketing, delivering high-quality and engaging entertainment experiences across smart devices, consoles, PCs and streaming platforms, and introducing original Asian-developed video games and entertainment content to the global market.

Mr. Jacky Choo See Wee, our Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Epicsoft Asia, has over 20 years of video games distribution and retail network management experience in Asia. Under Mr. Choo’s leadership, Epicsoft Asia has become a leading channel distributor for console games, and has forged multi-year deals with international video game publishers and studios such as Sega Corporation (“Sega”), Take-Two Interactive Software UK Limited (“Take-two”), CD Projekt S.A. (“CDPR”) and Warner Bros. Games to sell select game titles within certain territories in Asia, and has sold more than 9.0 million of physical and digital copies of video games during the past three fiscal years. It has distributed in Asia four of the top ten best-selling video games of all time11, three of which it is currently still selling. It is also responsible for bringing to Asia some award-winning all-time favorite video games, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption II, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Elden Ring.

2Game is a Group Subsidiary that serves as GCL Group’s authorized digital sales platform. It operates as a business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumer (“B2C”) digital video game retailer. It sells and distributes game activation keys, the so-called “activation keys” or “game codes” to both resellers and consumers as part of GCL Group’s concerted effort to transition from physical console game compact discs to activation keys and content. There are currently more than 7,000 game titles available on 2Game’s platform. 2Game currently has more than 570,000 registered users and approximately 55.8% of 2Game’s revenue comes from Europe, with approximately 28.6% and the remaining 15.6% from Asia and the U.S., respectively.

While GCL Group has yet to develop any game IP as of today, it has started extensive planning of a large scale game development project since early 2024.

Industry Background and Market Opportunities

Based on Newzoo’s Global Games Market Report 2023 (October 2023), the global games market is projected to generate $189.0 billion in revenue in 2024. While mobile games have grown to now account for approximately 49% of the global games market revenue, PC and console gaming was a major growth driver. It is also projected that the global games market will grow to $205.7 billion by 2026.

The number of players worldwide is projected at 3.38 billion in 2023, an annual growth rate of over 6.3% from 2022. Based on Newzoo’s Global Market Report 2023, it is estimated that over 53% of the 3.38 billion gamers are from the Asia-Pacific region, thanks to huge markets like India and China and highly gaming-engaged countries like Japan and South Korea. Between 28.9% and 35.8% of PC gamers are based in Asia.

Video game sales and distribution was one of the handful of businesses positively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the demand for more home entertainment. Game-related engagement is sticky, and we believe many players who entered the market during the early lockdown years of the pandemic will continue to be engaged with video games in one form or another. Historically, the video game industry has proved to be relatively resilient during periods of economic downturn since gaming offers a cheaper home entertainment alternative to the large ticket discretionary spending items.

Video game piracy is when an individual, group, or business copies and/or distributes video game software without the authorization of the intellectual property owner of the video game. By making unauthorized copies of the games or allowing players to download games for free or at a reduced price, scammers are taking profit from game developers, publishers and studios. Game piracy is a global issue in the gaming industry. Based on a survey published by QATestLab on November 16, 2022, around 1 in 10 gamers have illegally downloaded or played a pirated video game over the past three months12. Today, this presents a challenge to all game studios which are losing sizeable revenue to unauthorized listings of their games online. Through our distribution network and long-standing relationships with our customers, we believe we can offer a unique value proposition to the international game studios in combating the issue of game piracy through take-down and conversion of unauthorized sales listings. We believe that there is a large market demand for this service and we plan to leverage our network and technology to help game studios and publishers recoup some of the revenues lost to piracy.

We believe that the overall entertainment industry is converging towards transmedia, a trend in which game companies bring their game IP to film, television, and other media to expand the reach of their franchise and bring consumers back to their core game franchise. By growing our business into game publishing, game creation and game IP investment, we believe we are well-positioned to move up the value chain in the game creation process to build our game IP and potentially monetize game IP through transmedia.

We are also witnessing a global shift in the way consumers interact with their toys and games. Based on The Global Toy Market Report (Annual 2022) published by The Toy Association, the global toy market in 2022 was estimated at $107.4 billion. We believe that if we can integrate our game offerings with in-game content into toys using the Near Field Communication (“NFC”) technology to interact with supported video game software, allowing data to be transferred in and out of games and across multiple platforms, we will have an opportunity to tap into the global toy market.

Hainan GCL Technology Co. Ltd. (“Hainan GCL”) — formed in July 2024 in China to support GCL Group’s collaboration efforts with game developers and a game platform in China. See “Information Related to the Company — Recent Developments.”

Recent Developments

In March 2024, Epicsoft Asia entered into an addendum of a Memorandum of Understanding dated March 17, 2023 (together with the Addendum, the “Cube Game MOU”), with Wan Xin Culture Technology Co., Ltd. (“Wan Xin”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wan Xin Media Group, a PRC-listed cultural enterprise that owns the game platform, “Cube Game” in China. The Cube Game MOU contemplates a five-year collaboration between the parties to jointly allocate $100 million to investment in IP creation, game development, publishing opportunities exploration, and game studio acquisitions. Parties have also agreed to collaborate on strategies to combat privacy and unauthorized software use in the gaming industry, to develop connected game toys, and a digital platform that can provide real-time insights into consumer behavior, purchasing patterns, and market dynamics. In July 2024, Hainan GCL was formed in China as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCL Global SG to support GCL Group’s collaboration efforts with Cube Game and game developers in China.

In September 2024, Hainan GCL made a secured loan in the aggregate amount of $3,000,000 to Nekcom Inc. (“Nekcom”), a Delaware parent company of a developer of the game Showa American Story in China. In November 2024, GCL Global, Nekcom and certain significant shareholders of Nekcom entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Nekcom SPA”) pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Nekcom has agreed to enter into a publishing agreement with GCL Global (the “Nekcom Publishing Agreement”) appointing the Company or any of its designated subsidiaries as Nekcom’s exclusive global publisher and distributor of Showa American Story; and (ii) the Company has agreed to purchase a number of Nekcom’s Series B Preferred Stock that would constitute 20% of the total outstanding shares of Nekcom for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 consisting of (a) $7,500,000 in cash, and (b) $7,500,000 in GCL Global ordinary shares. On December 18, 2024, the Nekcom Publishing Agreement was signed, appointing 4Divinity as the exclusive global publisher and distributor of the game Showa American Story, and the $3,000,000 secured loan was converted into part of a minimum guarantee advanced by 4Divinity to Nekcom, recoverable from net revenue generated pursuant to the Nekcom Publishing Agreement. In connection with the Nekcom SPA, 262,325 ordinary shares of GCL Global (which will be exchanged for 1,063,364 PubCo Ordinary Shares at Closing) (the “Nekcom Consideration Shares”) and an additional 262,325 ordinary shares of GCL Global (which will be exchanged for 1,063,364 PubCo Ordinary Shares at Closing) (the “Nekcom Additional Consideration Shares”) were issued in the name of Nekcom on December 18, 2024 but held in escrow until Full Recoupment Date (as defined in the Publishing Agreement) when they will be released to either Nekcom or the Company depending on the value of Nekcom Consideration Shares (the “Consideration Shares VWAP”) based on the volume weighted average price of the Consideration Shares over thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the Full Recoupment Date. If the Consideration Shares VWAP exceeds $7,500,000, all Nekcom Consideration Shares will be released to Nekcom, and all Nekcom Additional Consideration Shares will be returned to GCL Global for cancellation. In the event that the Consideration Shares VWAP is below $7,500,000 but exceeds $1,200,000, Nekcom will receive such number of Nekcom Additional Consideration Shares from the escrow account that would make up the shortfall, with the balance returned to the Company for cancellation. If the value of the Nekcom Additional Consideration Shares so released from the escrow account is not sufficient to make up the shortfall, the Company has agreed to either pay Nekcom cash to make up the shortfall, or issue additional shares to Nekcom and use its reasonable best efforts to register such shares for resale. If the Consideration Shares VWAP is below $1,200,000, the Company has agreed to pay Nekcom the shortfall between $7,500,000 and the Consideration Shares VWAP in cash.

In September 2024, 2Game Dubai was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 2Game to expand its business into the UAE and MENA region.

In December 2024, 4Divinity UK was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 4Divinity to support GCL Group’s game publishing and development business in Europe.

Our Group Chairman, Mr. Jacky Choo See Wee is an industry veteran with over 20 years of experience in the video game industry. Mr. Choo has led Epicsoft Asia in the video games distribution and retail network management business in Asia for the past ten years, and has forged multi-year deals with international video game publishers and studios such as Sega Corporation (“Sega”), Take-Two Interactive Software UK Limited (“Take-two”), CD Projekt S.A. (“CDPR”) and Warner Bros. Games to sell select game titles within certain territories in Asia. Together with Epicsoft Hong Kong, Epicsoft Malaysia and 2Game, Epicsoft Asia currently has one of the largest networks for video games distribution in Asia through resellers with more than 2,100 physical and online stores, and has sold more than 9.0 million of physical and digital copies of video games during the past three fiscal years.

We started distributing Sega© game titles and products in 2018. Pursuant to a Distribution License Agreement dated February 1, 2018 which was amended on April 1, 2020 (as amended, the “Sega Distribution Agreement”), EpicSoft Asia was given a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, limited license to distribute certain Sega© game titles and products (the “Sega Licensed Products”) in Southeast Asian countries, Hong Kong and Macau. Pursuant to the Sega Distribution Agreement, Epicsoft Asia has agreed to conduct

TABLE OF CONTENTS

marketing, advertisement and promotion activities, and provide end user customer and technical support, for the Sega Licensed Products within the defined distribution territory. In return, Epicsoft Asia may purchase the Sega Licensed Products based on an agreed discount to the suggested retail price determined by Sega, and is entitled to make a claim to Sega for reasonable marketing costs actually incurred. The Sega Distribution Agreement has an initial term of one year and automatically renews annually for one year periods unless earlier terminated by either party upon 45 days’ written notice to the other party.

On August 20, 2018, Epicsoft Asia and Sega entered into an Activation Key Distribution Agreement (the “Sega Activation Key Agreement”) pursuant to which Epicsoft Asia was given non-exclusive right to sell and distribute activation keys of certain Sega© games via the Steam download platform in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, the Peoples’ Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macau. Pursuant to the Sega Activation Key Agreement, Epicsoft Asia has agreed to conduct marketing, advertisement and promotion activities, and provide end user customer and technical support, for the activation keys at its own costs within the defined distribution territory. In return, Epicsoft Asia may purchase the activation keys at an agreed discount to either the wholesale price (for sales to retailers) or the suggested retail price (for sales directly to end users) of the Sega© games determined by Sega. The Sega Distribution Agreement has an initial term of one year and automatically renews annually for one year periods unless earlier terminated by either party upon 30 days’ written notice to the other party.

Today, because of our distributor relationship with Sega, we continue to distribute popular Sega© game titles, including games under the Sonic franchise, the Yakuza series and Persona 5 in Asia. Distribution revenue derived from Sega© game titles accounted for more than 29% and 20% of GCL Group’s total consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Sega is also a shareholder of the Company.

Pursuant to distribution agreements and street date (the date on which the video game has its initial commercial release to consumers) agreements with other international video game publishers and studios, Epicsoft Asia can be granted either an exclusive right or a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, limited license to distribute certain game products, and the publishers retain all rights to the intellectual property, the so-called “game IP,” including but not limited to, the trademarks, copyright and design rights. These distribution agreements typically require Epicsoft Asia to spend a pre-determined minimum amount on marketing and promoting the video game products, including the Add-Ons, during and after the initial launch of the game in Asia, and commit to a minimum order quantity per game title within a certain time period. Epicsoft Asia is offered a wholesale unit price per game and per Packaged Media Unit, and certain payment terms based on a variety of factors including, past relationships, purchase quantities, language version (e.g., Chinese, Korean, Thai), and the format in which the game is delivered. Most multi-year deals also cover the so-called “day one edition,” “enhanced edition,” “collector’s edition” and “game of the year edition” that may be produced by the video game publisher for release in Packaged Media Units after the initial release of the video games. In some cases, Epicsoft Asia also provides localization services, and end user customer and technical support for the game products distributed within its territories.

Epicsoft Asia generates revenue from sales to retailers and consumers of console games and game codes, and distributing gaming content that are compatible with major gaming consoles such as Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PCs to resellers and consumers.

Revenue is derived from the sale of console games and activation keys either at a fixed price or at a transaction price that varies based on a number of factors including but not limited to, the retailers’ monthly sales, and proportional factor from sales of each specific game title.

Video game sales and distribution was one of the handful of businesses positively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the demand for more entertainment such as video games, when staying home. Like most businesses, the pandemic has caused Epicsoft Asia to accelerate the process of further digitization and rely more on e-commerce. Since July 2022, 2Game has served as GCL Group’s authorized digital sales platform that operates as a business-to-business (“B2B”) and business-to-consumers (“B2C”) digital video game retailer. It sells and distributes activation keys to both resellers and consumers, as part of GCL Group’s effort to transition from physical console game compact discs to activation keys and digital content. 2game’s revenue is primarily generated from sale of activation keys.

176

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenue generated from game distributions was approximately $91.0 million and $68.1 million, respectively, representing approximately 93.3% and 87.9% of GCL Group’s total consolidated revenue during the respective periods.

Game Publishing

4Divinity is a GCL Group Subsidiary dedicated to the games publishing business. Its mission is to partner with international game publishers and content development studios to introduce new video game and entertainment properties to Asia’s fast-growing market of gamers, and to introduce original Asian-developed content to the global market. In December 2024, 4Divinity UK was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 4Divinity to support GCL Group’s game publishing and development business in Europe. As of today, GCL Group has either published or co-published five games: Atomic Heart, Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle, Figment 2: Creed Valley, Windstorm Collection, and Life in Willowdale. Atomic Heart is a video game co-published with Focus Entertainment, an international game studio backed by Chinese multinational conglomerate, Tencent, and an independent European video game developer and publisher.

We give Valve’s Steam, Microsoft Xbox and Sony’s PlayStation Network a non-exclusive license to reproduce, publicly display and perform, transmit, sell, license and otherwise distribute the PC games in object code form, and generate our games publishing revenue on these gaming platforms. We recognize our games publishing revenue at the point in time when control of the console game code is transferred to the Gaming Platform, which specifically occurs when the console game code has been activated. We recognized revenue from game publishing on a gross basis, and remit to the developer a development fee based on a certain percentage of the revenue generated from the gaming platform. The publishing agreements we have with the international game studios and developers give us the publishing rights, and typically contain, among other things, (i) a minimum sales guarantee payable upon achievement of certain milestones before the game is published, (ii) a minimum guaranteed development fee, (iii) a marketing budget, and (iv) localization services (with specified supported languages). These agreements typically cover all editions of the game available for release on platforms, including Steam, PlayStation and Xbox, within a certain pre-determined time period after the first commercial release of the game. In some cases, depending on the number of games sold, we may be entitled to recoup all or a portion of the marketing expenses used to promote the game from the sale proceeds of the game.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, revenue generated from games publishing was approximately $3.4 million and $6.1 million, representing approximately 3.5% and 7.9% of GCL Group’s total consolidated revenue, respectively. We have plans to publish seven additional new game titles during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.

Our Competitive Strengths

Multi-year distribution arrangements with international video game publishers and studios

We have forged multi-year deals with international video game publishers and studios such as Sega Corporation (“Sega”), Take-Two Interactive Software UK Limited (“Take-two”), CD Projekt S.A. (“CDPR”) and Warner Bros. Games to sell select game titles (including Cyberpunk 2077, Grand Auto Theft V, NBA 2K24, The Witcher 3: the Wild Hunt, Hogwarts Legacy, and Mortal Kombat 1) within certain territories in Asia (e.g., Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand). Epicsoft Asia started distributing Sega© games in 2018. We continue to distribute popular Sega© game titles, including games under the Sonic franchise, the Yakuza series and Persona 5 in Asia.

Extensive distribution network

We have one of the largest distribution networks for video games in Asia through resellers with physical and online stores. We have over ten years of video games distribution and retail network management experience, and long-standing relationships with resellers with more than 2,100 online and offline stores. Some of these resellers operate e-commerce sites in Asia, such as Shopee, Lazada, and Taobao. Since July 2022, we also started selling and distributing activation keys to both resellers and consumers on our own digital platform, www.2game.com. There are currently more than 7,000 game titles available on 2Game’s platform. 2Game currently has more than 570,000 registered users and approximately 55.8% of 2Game’s revenue comes from Europe, with approximately 28.6% and the remaining 15.6% from Asia and the U.S., respectively. We have sold more than 9.0 million of physical and digital copies of videogames during the past three fiscal years.

Based on Newzoo’s Global Games Market Report 2023 (October 2023), over 53% of the 3.38 billion gamers in the world in 2023 are from the Asia-Pacific region, thanks to huge markets like India and China and highly gaming-engaged countries like Japan and South Korea. Between 28.9% and 35.8% of PC gamers

are based in Asia. Management believes that GCL Group’s leading position and track record in game distribution in Asia, and strong foothold and presence in different parts of the Asia-Pacific region make us an appealing business partner to Chinese game giants, such as Tencent Interactive Entertainment (“Tencent”) and NetEase Games, which rely on strong partners to distribute and publish their games outside of China. Partnerships with these major players in the gaming market will allow us the opportunity to strengthen our leading market position leveraging on our established reputation in the industry and extensive distribution network.

Unique position to offer a full suite of game marketing, distribution and publishing services with strong value proposition for game studios

The Asian gaming market remains fragmented and highly competitive today with games being sold at different price points, depending on the demand and purchasing power of the local market. Given the number of Asian languages and cultures in the region, there is also a non-uniform demand of gaming content depending on the relevance of the game IP in Asia. For example, the demand of a basketball game like NBA would traditionally be stronger in the Philippines than in Indonesia due to the sports centric local culture in the Philippines that transcends through social and economic barriers.

With our extensive distribution network in Asia, and long-standing relationships with our resellers in the region, we have built our expertise and local domain knowledge by staying very close to the ground as historical games sales data can give us intelligence on the best ways certain games should be distributed in certain parts of Asia. We have an in-house creative media design team with creative designers, video editors, videographers and studio facilities to produce marketing and promotional materials adapted to local markets. We also have our own production studio and an advertising agency. We leverage TDM influencers to help increase the outreach and visibility of our games via content creation in a bid to quickly amass substantial player numbers. For many consumers, the viewpoints and recommendations of these influencers and creators have replaced traditional journalism and games criticism. Growing our business into game publishing, marketing and media and having our own digital game distribution platform means that we have a strong value proposition for game studios who want to penetrate the Asian gaming market. We distinguish ourselves from our competitors in our ability to offer for international game publishers and studios a one-stop shop for all their marketing, distribution. and publishing needs.

Leadership by an industry veteran

Our Group Chairman, Mr. Jacky Choo See Wee is an industry veteran with over 20 years of experience in the video game industry. He has deep insights and connections with international publishers, developers, studios and video game resellers in Asia. He has a deep understanding of gaming trends, technology, and market dynamics. Mr. Choo has been serving in multiple executive and decision making positions within the GCL Group and other private companies in the video game industry since 2005. He capitalized on emerging trends and led the digital transformation of the Company’s business by expanding into digital game distribution. Under Mr. Choo’s leadership, GCL Group will continue to invest in emerging opportunities in upcoming titles across all platforms, as well as downloadable content for existing titles.

Our Growth Strategies

In March 2024, Epicsoft Asia entered into an addendum of a Memorandum of Understanding dated March 17, 2023 (together with the Addendum, the “Cube Game MOU”), with Wan Xin Culture Technology Co., Ltd. (“Wan Xin”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wan Xin Media Group, a PRC-listed cultural enterprise that owns the game platform, “Cube Game” in China. The Cube Game MOU contemplates a five-year collaboration between the parties to jointly allocate $100 million to investment in IP creation, game development, publishing opportunities exploration, and game studio acquisitions. Parties have also agreed to collaborate on strategies to combat privacy and unauthorized software use in the gaming industry, to develop connected game toys, and a digital platform that can provide real-time insights into consumer behavior, purchasing patterns, and market dynamics. On July 26, 2024, Hainan GCL Technology Co. Ltd. was formed in China as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCL Global SG to support GCL Group’s collaboration efforts with Cube Game and game developers in China. Our other key growth strategies include the following:

179

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Expand our “hit” game titles offerings through more sales channels

Our core strategy is to capitalize on the popularity of video games by distributing and publishing more high-quality interactive entertainment experiences to the growing Asian gaming market. We focus on building a large catalogue of game offerings by obtaining the distribution rights for “hit” game titles which can create sequels and incremental revenue opportunities through add-on content and merchandise. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we sold 44 new game titles in addition to back catalog games, and have secured 49 new game titles for distribution for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. We plan to continue to support the success of our games in the marketplace through innovative marketing programs, leverage our TDM influencers to help increase the outreach and visibility of our games, and further expand our distribution network by acquiring additional retail sales and distribution channels, including e-commerce sites that are relevant to our target audience. This strategy will not only bolster our market leading position in the game distribution market but also attract more game publishing opportunities to us, and therefore enhancing our overall ability to monetize game IP. To further expand our game titles offerings, we have started extensive planning of a large scale game development project since early 2024. For instance, in December 2024, Nekcom signed a publishing agreement with us appointing 4Divinity as Nekcom’s exclusive global publisher and distributor of Showa American Story. In the future, we plan to have a large and diversified library of game titles that would also come from internally developed game IP.

Invest in emerging technologies, platforms, and distribution channels, including digitally delivered content

The interactive entertainment software industry is delivering a growing amount of content for traditional platforms through digital download. Partly due to the availability of digital-only consoles and early-access benefits of digital copies of video games, we believe digital distribution of the games will continue to rise. We provide digitally delivered games in the form of activation keys, which typically have a higher gross margin than physically delivered boxed console games. Many of our titles that are available through retailers as packaged goods products are also available through activation keys (from websites we own or third-party websites). We will continue to invest in emerging opportunities in upcoming titles across all platforms, as well as downloadable content for existing titles. In the future, we plan to drive ongoing community engagement on our digital platform by offering Esports elements and online tournaments to the gaming community, with incentives for long-term community engagements. We believe these new features will bring incremental revenue from recurrent consumer spending on add-on content, and in-game purchases for games that has this feature in the future.

Mobile games have grown to now account for approximately 49% of the global games market revenue. Interactive entertainment played online and on mobile platforms, such as tablets and smartphones, presents new opportunities for us to enhance our growth and profitability. In the future, we also plan to distribute mobile games and related digitally delivered content across smart devices and streaming platforms.

Grow into a fully integrated ecosystem in the industry through organic growth and strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses

Based on our core business in game distribution, we know the demand of the gaming community in the Asian markets. In 2022, we started to dedicate resources to game publishing by forming a wholly-owned subsidiary, 4Divinity, to invest in game IP. In December 2024, 4Divinity UK was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 4Divinity to support GCL Group’s game publishing and development business in Europe. When we partner with international game studios, we help them create games and then support the games through our marketing campaigns. We formulate media content for the games and provide localization services by providing the games the connection to the local gaming communities. We provide a full suite of marketing, distribution and publishing services for the international game studios and developers. In the future, we plan to enter into content and game creation, and ancillary businesses such as gaming hardware, and believe that upstream value creation process will not only add to our revenue stream but also propel us to become the next Asian powerhouse in video games and entertainment content marketing, delivering high-quality and engaging entertainment experiences across smart devices, consoles, PCs and streaming platforms, and introducing original Asian-developed video games and entertainment content to the global market.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mr. Choo, our GCL Group Chairman, has extensive experience in strategic acquisitions in the gaming industry. We believe strategic acquisition in our core game distribution business as well as ancillary businesses will greatly contribute and accelerate our growth and broaden our appeal to different stakeholders in the industry. Although we have no agreements in place, we are actively exploring strategic acquisition opportunities that support our mission, and are focused on growing into a fully integrated ecosystem in the gaming industry through organic growth and strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses.

Diversify revenue stream by offering anti-piracy solutions to game studios

Game piracy is a global issue in the gaming industry. Based on a survey published by QATestLab on November 16, 2022, around 1 in 10 gamers have illegally downloaded or played a pirated video game over the past three months. Today, this presents a challenge to all game studios which lose significant revenue to unauthorized listings of their games online. In June 2023, we successfully launched our anti-piracy solution with one of our strategic partners, helping it recoup a significant amount of what would be lost profit. Our game anti-piracy solution consists of the following key components:

•

Identify – Detect and identify merchants who are selling offline accounts;

•

Activate – Activate account servicing for compliance on platforms;

•

Take down – Take down illegal listing on the platform;

•

Convert– Offer margin incentives and authorized region locked keys to cooperative merchants thereby converting unauthorized sales listings to legitimate sales channels;

•

Monitor– Monitor any illicit listings in the marketplace.

Through our vast distribution network and long-standing relationships with the e-commerce sites in Asia, we believe we can help international game studios defend their franchises and offer unique value proposition to them by combating game piracy through take-down and conversion of unauthorized sales listings. We believe that there is a large market demand for this service and tapping into this market will provide strong growth to our future revenue.

Build a technology platform to increase market share in the distribution of activation keys

Games are currently being distributed either as a physical packaged good or in the form of activation keys. While the market for distribution of games as physical packaged goods is quite mature, we believe the market for distribution of activation keys is still nascent in Asia primarily for the following reasons:

•

lack of data security over the transmission of activation keys from game studios to game distributors due to a gap in technology infrastructures;

•

a gap in live governance over the consignment and sale of activation keys by retail partners;

•

the need for a high degree of human intervention in the transmission of activation keys from game studios to game distributors, reconciliation of records, such as the number of activation keys sold, and tracking of sales periods;

•

lack of a live tracking system allowing the price of the activation keys to track the sales period on the Steam platform, and the sales periods designated by the game studios as the special promotional periods.

We are building a new technology platform (“Playcube”) to address some of the foregoing technological challenges. If Playcube can (i) allow game studios to upload activation keys into the digital vault and retail partners to purchase these activation keys from the digital vault real time, (ii) track discount sales to allow for live price adjustments of activation keys in the digital vault during any sales discount periods; and (iii) provide inventory and sales reporting for activation keys in the digital vault, improving sales data reporting to the game studios, we believe this will be a strong catalyst for us to sign more distribution agreements with game studios, and add new sales channel partners to our distribution network.

Invest and monetize game IP through transmedia and in the toy industry

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and bring consumers back to their core game franchise. Recent notable examples would be the Dungeon & Dragon movie and the Witcher series on Netflix which were based on the Dungeons and Dragons and the Witcher game series and derived from the Witcher novel series. Since 2018, we have also witnessed a growing number of video game adaptations that have made their way onto home streaming services, and we believe that this trend is here to stay. As we enter into content and game creation and investment in game IP and establish our international presence as game publisher outside of Asia, we plan to continue to partner with game developers, publishers and brand owners to create games, original content and entertainment properties. It is part of our growth strategy to move up the value chain in the game creation process, build our game IP and potentially monetize game IP through transmedia. It is therefore part of our growth strategies to continue investing in game IP by establishing our own game studio and make investments in other game studios while creating content.

We have plans to build in activation keys within toys to deepen the consumer experience with game IP. Based on The Global Toy Market Report (Annual 2022) published by The Toy Association, the global toy market in 2022 was estimated at $107.4 billion. While the toy and game industries are two important pillars in the entertainment industry, toys and games are typically sold separately. However, leveraging emerging technologies, Nintendo Co. Ltd. (“Nintendo”) succeeded in launching a series of Amiibos toy collectibles with the addition of in-game content within each toy. These Amiibo figures use built-in near field communication (“NFC”) technology to interact with supported video game software, allowing data to be transferred in and out of games and across multiple platforms. Based on a report published by Nintendo as of November 9, 2022, Nintendo shipped more than 77 million units of amiibo figures as of September 30, 202216. As we continue to build a strong pipeline of game IP through our publishing business, we would be well positioned to develop our own toy collectible series that comes with activation keys with in-game content. We believe that if we are successful in merging our game offerings with in-game content into toys, we will have an opportunity to tap into the global toy market.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our game titles both physically and digitally in Asia through our direct relationships with resellers through their physical and digital storefronts. Our top customers include regional resellers in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and other Asian countries. We have sales operations in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, but also have marketing staff in Europe, the Middle East and other parts of the world outside of Asia.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately 93.3% and 87.9% of our total consolidated revenue was generated from game distributions, respectively. We are dependent on a limited number of customers that account for a significant portion of sales. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, our biggest customer accounted for approximately 17% of our total revenue, with each of the next three biggest customers accounting for more than 10% of our total revenue during the same period. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, sales to our five biggest customers accounted for almost half of our total consolidated revenue, with the top three customers accounting for approximately 13%, 11%, and 10% of our total revenue, respectively. While we believe digital distribution will continue to rise and presents an important growth opportunity for our industry and company, we expect that packaged goods and traditional retailers will continue to be a significant channel for the sale of our console products for the foreseeable future.

Our marketing and promotional efforts are intended to maximize consumer interest in our game titles, promote brand name recognition in the industry, assist retailers and properly position, package and merchandise the game titles we distribute. Depending on the arrangements we have with the game publishers, we may be able to recoup some or all of our marketing expenses in connection with our promotional efforts of certain select game titles.

We market game titles by:

•

implementing promotional campaigns, using digital, online, outdoor, and print marketing;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

adapting international game products to local markets, including but not limited to, producing localization materials in additional languages (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai) and otherwise providing a connection between the games and the local gaming communities;

•

employing various other marketing methods designed to promote consumer awareness, including social media, the use of character standees, point-of-sale (“POS”) materials, compact discs (“CDs”), CD inlays, manuals, and stationary and mobile billboards;

•

hosting in-person and virtual launch or other promotional events; and

•

leveraging TDM influencers to help increase the outreach and visibility of our games via content creation in a bid to quickly amass substantial player numbers for the games we distribute.

Our sales and marketing efforts are spearheaded by our Deputy Group CEO, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Publishing, Mr. Keith Liu Min Tzau who leads, plans and executes marketing campaigns, collaborates with global game publishers and studios, and manages game releases on Valve’s Steam platform, Microsoft’s Xbox and Sony’s PlayStation Network. As of December 22, 2024, we had 42 full-time employees dedicated to sales and marketing.

Competition

The market for video game distribution and marketing in Asia is quickly evolving, and competition is intensifying as new competitors enter the market and current competitors expand their product offerings. In order to secure licensing and distribution agreements with AAA game publishers when competing with larger, better financed companies, we may be forced to agree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to us over the life of the distribution agreement, which could adversely affect our margins. Our failure to compete effectively for the distribution right for “hit” game titles could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or future operating results.

In our video game distribution business, we face competition primarily from other games and interactive entertainment companies, that range in size and cost structures from small, little known local or regional distributors with limited resources to very large with greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than ours, such as Electronic Arts Inc. and Activision Blizzard, Inc. Small business competitors may be able to offer more cost competitive solutions for video game distributions, due to their lower overhead costs.

In our game publishing business, we face competition from large developer and marketer of interactive entertainment software companies, such as Tencent Games, NetEase Games, Sega and Sony Interactive Entertainment, that have the financial resources to withstand significant price competition, implement extensive advertising campaigns, and utilize their substantially greater resources and economies of scale to develop competing video games and divert sales away from our games offerings.

Competition in the interactive entertainment software industry is based on innovation, features, playability, product quality, brand name recognition, compatibility with popular platforms, access to distribution channels, price, marketing, and customer service. Our business is driven by the number of hit game titles we sell, distribute and publish, which require increasing budgets for development and marketing.

We will continue to compete effectively and strategically grow our business by focusing on (i) our ability to develop original content and new games as well as by continuing to enhance our existing services to keep pace with user preferences and demands, and (ii) expanding our best-selling games portfolio.

Intellectual Property

Our business depends on the licensing and protection of intellectual property rights of the video games we distribute that are retained by the publishers. We try to protect our software and production techniques under copyright and trademark and trade secret laws as well as through contractual restrictions on disclosure, copying and distribution. TDM has the following two registered trademarks in Singapore:

We are committed to maintaining equitable compensation programs including equity participation. We offer market-competitive salaries aimed at attracting and retaining team members capable of making exceptional contributions to our success. Our compensation decisions are guided by the external market, role criticality, and the contributions of each team member.

To date, we have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good. None of our employees are either represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, RFAC had $17,693,877 and $29,718,024 cash held in the Trust Account, respectively. RFAC intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination. To the extent that its shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete the Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the post-Business Combination entity, make other acquisitions and pursue RFAC’s growth strategies.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, RFAC had cash of $18,452 and $188,235 held outside of the Trust Account, respectively, and had a working capital deficit of $6,658,097 as of September 30, 2024. RFAC intends to use the funds held outside of the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, properties, or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representative or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete the Business Combination.

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, RFAC had $29,718,024 and $117,724,476 investments held in the Trust Account, respectively. RFAC intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination. To the extent that its shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete the Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the post-Business Combination entity, make other acquisitions and pursue RFAC’s growth strategies.

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, RFAC had cash of $188,235 and $19,759 held outside of the Trust Account, respectively and had a working capital deficit of $4,997,491 at December 31, 2023.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of RFAC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan RFAC working capital loans. If RFAC completes the Business Combination, RFAC would repay such loaned amounts. If the Business Combination does not close, RFAC may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from its Trust Account would be used for such repayment.

In connection with RFAC’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” RFAC has until March 28, 2025 (“Revised Extension Deadline”), to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that RFAC will be able to consummate a business combination by the specified period. If a business combination is not consummated by the Revised Extension Deadline, and RFAC decides not to further extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about RFAC’s ability to continue as a going concern one year

Additionally, RFAC will pay EBC a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the proposed business combination if it introduces RFAC to the target business with which RFAC completes a business combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 90 days from the effective date of the IPO, unless the FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110.

EBC Founder Shares

On April 12, 2021, RFAC issued to EBC and or designees an aggregate of 200,000 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock at a price of $0.0001 per share for a total consideration of $20. RFAC accounts for the fair value of the EBC Founder Shares over consideration paid as offering cost of the IPO, with a corresponding credit to stockholder’s equity.

RFAC estimated the fair value of the EBC Founder Shares to be $519,415 and is recorded as an offering cost with a corresponding increase in stockholder’s equity. RFAC established the initial fair value of the EBC Founder Shares on April 12, 2021, using a probability weighted model for the EBC Founder Shares. The EBC Founder Shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs including the probability of a business combination, the probability of the IPO, and other risk factors.

EBC (and/or its designees) has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without RFAC’s prior written consent until the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, EBC (and/or its designees) has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if RFAC fails to complete the Business Combination by March 28, 2025.

any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer that participated in RFAC’s IPO and their bona fide officers or partners.

Critical Accounting Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of RFAC’s financial condition and results of operations is based on RFAC’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of RFAC’s financial statements requires RFAC to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in RFAC’s financial statements. On an ongoing basis, RFAC evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. RFAC bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that RFAC believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 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) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. RFAC is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to enable financial statements users to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which will be fiscal 2025 for us. We expect the adoption to result in disclosure changes only.

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

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. RFAC qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and is allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. RFAC is electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, RFAC may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, RFAC’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, RFAC is in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” RFAC chooses to rely on such exemptions RFAC may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on

192

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RFAC’s system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the independent registered public accounting firm’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of RFAC’s IPO or until RFAC is no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2024, RFAC did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants held in the Trust Account were initially invested in U.S. government securities 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 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, RFAC believes there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk. However, if the interest rates of U.S. Treasury obligations become negative, RFAC may have less interest income available to us for payment of taxes, and a decline in the value of the assets held in the Trust Account could reduce the principal below the amount initially deposited in the Trust Account. In February of 2023, RFAC’s trust balance was moved to an interest-bearing bank deposit account due to receiving a slightly higher interest rate from Citibank. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, RFAC had $17,693,877 and $29,718,024 in the trust account, respectively.

THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, for purposes of this section, the terms “GCL”, “we,” “us,” or “our,” refer to GCL Global Limited and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis are set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, and includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the section of prospectus titled “Risk Factors,” our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

GCL is a holding company incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations on its own, we conduct all our operations through our subsidiaries in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China.

We are a leading marketer, distributor, publisher and developer of video games and entertainment content sold in Asia. We sell and distribute to retailers and consumers in Asia physical and digital copies of video games through physical retailers, such as Sony PlayStation stores in Japan, as well as online channels in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and other Asian countries. Over 93.3% and 87.9% of our total consolidated revenue for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was derived from sale of either games on consoles such as Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PCs to retailers, or game codes via electronic delivery to retailers or end-users through email or download. We also have our own production studio and an advertising agency, providing media and content advertising services for small and medium-sized enterprises (the “SMEs”) and government agencies. In September 2022, we formed a subsidiary dedicated to our game publishing business investing in upcoming game titles as either a publisher or a co-publisher for the global market.

We derive revenues from (i) distribution and sale of console games; (ii) game publishing; (iii) media advertising services; and (iv) others. The total revenue increased by $20.1 million, or 25.9%, to approximately $97.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $77.4 million for the same period in 2023. This increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the approximately $22.9 million increased sales from console games and offset by decrease of approximately $2.7 million in game publishing revenue.

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by a number of factors, which primarily include the following:

Distribution arrangements with game publishers and studios to sell “hit” game titles

We derive our revenue primarily from sales to retailers and consumers of console games and game codes, and distributing gaming content that are compatible with major gaming consoles and PCs to resellers. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we sold 51 new game titles in addition to back catalog games and have secured 35 new game title for distribution. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we sold 44 new game titles in addition to back catalog games and have secured 49 new game titles for distribution. We have forged multi-year distribution deals with international video game publishers and studios to sell selected game titles within certain territories in Asia. We have sold more than 9.0 million of physical and digital copies of video games since March 31, 2020. Our success will continue to depend on our ability to obtain the distribution rights for “hit” game titles which can create sequels and incremental revenue opportunities through add-on content and merchandise. The success of the games we distribute also depends, in part, on unpredictable and constantly changing factors beyond our control including consumer preferences and spending habits, competing games and the availability of other entertainment experiences. Our ability to negotiate with resellers and platform partners, and to add sales channels in

territories outside of the countries we currently distribute games can determine our continued success in the game distribution business.

Growth in the game publishing business and game IP development

We started our game publishing business in September 2022. Since its inception, 4Divinity has published or co-published a total of five game titles, generating publishing revenue from digital sales of games sold on the Steam, Xbox and PlayStation platforms. We have plans to publish seven additional new game titles during the fiscal year 2025. Our success in growing the game publishing business will depend on our ability to identify global game designing talents, and partner with game developers, publishers, and brand owners to create original content and entertainment properties. Since early 2024, we have started extensive planning of a large scale game development project. It is currently expected that this first IP game development will be in production for at least three years. In the future, we plan to have a large and diversified library of game titles that would also come from internally developed game IP. Our success in developing game IP will depend on our ability to raise adequate funding required for the project.

Risks associated with operating and investing in Asia

We derive a significant portion of revenue from our operations in Asia, and we intend to continue to develop and expand our business and penetration in the region and outside of Asia. Our operations and investments in Asia are subject to various risks related to the economic, political, and social conditions of the countries in which we operate.

Key Operating Metric

Our management regularly reviews the operating metric to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. The main metric we consider, and our results for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, are set forth in the tables below:

Number of game copy sold in physical form and digital form:

	For the Years Ended March 31,								Change		Change %
	2024		%		2023		%		Change		Change %
Physical copies sold		1,234,149		24.6%		1,006,162		37.9%		227,987		22.7%
Digital copies sold		3,787,922		75.4%		1,647,361		62.1%		2,140,561		129.9%
Total copies sold		5,022,071		100.0%		2,653,523		100.0%		2,368,548		89.3%

We experienced substantial growth towards digital copies sold. Approximately 3.8 million of digital copies were sold for year ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately 1.6 million digital copies sold for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of 129.9%. Meanwhile, the number of physical copies sold increased by 22.7% for the year ended March 31, 2024. These changes highlight our effective adaptation to consumer preferences for digital formats, reflecting broader industry trends towards convenient, direct access to gaming content and an increasing environmental consciousness. Our strategic focus on enhancing digital distribution channels has successfully positioned us well for sustained growth in the digital marketplace.

Our revenues are mainly derived from sale of console games, game publishing, and media advertising service. The total revenue increased by approximately $20.1 million, or 25.9%, to approximately $97.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $77.4 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to the following:

Sale of Console Game

Our revenue from sale of console games increased by $22.9 million, or 33.7%, to approximately $91.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $68.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to increase in revenue from sales of console game codes of approximately $24.0 million, representing an 84.0% increase in revenue from sales of console game codes. The increased of revenue from sales of console game codes was that we experienced higher demand for game downloads from online stores, allowing us to sell 3,787,922 copies of game codes for the year ended March 31, 2024, compared with 1,647,361 copies for the same period in 2023.

Game Publishing

Revenue from game publishing was generated from a newly adopted business model from the second half for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. We collaborate with third party game developers and obtain exclusive publishing right in distributing the console game codes though third parties’ storefronts, such as Sony’s PlayStation Network and Valve’s Steam. For the year ended March 31, 2024, we published 2 new game title in addition to 2 game titles published during the year ended March 31, 2023 in above mentioned store front, and generated revenue from game publishing for approximately $3.4 million, when compared to 2 game titles published of approximately $6.1 million of generated revenue for the year ended March 31, 2023.

196

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The 43.8% decrease in revenue from game publishing was primarily due to the decline in revenue generated from the game title, Atomic Heart, which was initially published during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Atomic Heart generated approximately $6.1 million in game publishing revenue during the year ended March 31, 2023, compared to approximately $3.3 million for the same period in 2024, as sales typically peak shortly after a game’s release due to initial excitement and high demand, then decline over time as the market becomes saturated and player interest wanes.

Media advertising Service

Revenue from media advertising services consisted of video marketing campaign service and social media advertising service. Our revenue from advertising services decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 16.8 %, to approximately $2.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $3.3 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was driven partially by a decrease of revenue from social media adverting service for approximately $0.2 million due to reduced earnings from our YouTube channel, which is highly dependent on video views. It was also caused by a decreased revenue from video marketing campaign services of approximately $0.4 million due to fewer service contracts entered when compared to the same period in 2023.

Other revenue

Other revenue comprised sales of fashion jewelry through our online e-commerce platform. For the year ended March 31, 2024, this revenue amounted to approximately $0.4 million. Going forward into 2025 and beyond, we anticipate that this source of revenue will continue to remain insignificant to our overall operations.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues from our revenue categories are summarized as follows:

	For the Years Ended March 31,										Change USD			Change %
	2024			%		2023			%		Change USD			Change %
Console game		$	80,340,157		95.4%		$	58,005,203		91.2%		$	22,334,954		38.5%

Advertising services			1,389,562		1.6%			1,536,615		2.4%			(147,053)		(9.6)%

Total Cost of revenues		$	84,216,243		100.0%		$	63,598,608		100.0%		$	20,617,635		32.4%

Cost of revenue increased by approximately $20.6 million, or 32.4%, to approximately $84.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $63.6 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in cost of revenues was attributable to the following:

Cost of revenue from console game increased by approximately $22.3 million, or 38.5%, to approximately $80.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $58.1 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by increase of revenue from console game as more units (both compact discs and console game codes) were sold during year ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, the increase was attributable to higher purchasing costs, which were influenced by price increases from our vendors.

Cost of revenue from game publishing decreased by approximately $1.7 million, or 42.1%, to approximately $2.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $4.1 million for the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in development fees, which corresponded to the overall decline in game publishing revenue of approximately $2.7 million, or 43.8%. As the Company remits a development fee based on a percentage of revenue generated from the gaming platform, the reduction in revenue directly resulted in lower development fees owed to the developer.

Cost of revenue from media advertising service decreased approximately $0.1 million or 9.6%, to approximately $1.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $1.5 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was attributable to decrease of cost of revenue from social media advertising

service by $0.2 million as we incurred less video production cost related to creating video content published in our YouTube Channel. The decrease of cost of revenue from media advertising was offset by increased cost of revenue from video marketing campaign production by approximately $0.1 million as we incurred higher labor cost.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit from our major revenue categories are summarized as follows:

Gross profit margin			13.7%			17.9%			(4.2)%		(3.8)%

Our gross profit decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 3.8%, to approximately $13.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $13.8 million for the same period in 2023. The decreased profit was primarily attributable to decreased gross profit from game publishing by approximately $1.0 million and decreased gross profit from advertising services by approximately $0.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profit then was offset by an increased gross profit from sale of console game by approximately $0.6 million and increased gross profit from others by approximately $0.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2024.

For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our overall gross margin decreased from 17.9% to 13.7%. The 4.2 % decrease was attributable to (1) 3.1 % decreased in gross margin from sales of console game as we experienced higher cost in purchasing console game for resale due to price increase from our vendor, (2) 2.0% decrease in gross profit margin from game publishing due to certain games requiring a higher percentage of revenue to be distributed to developers as part of their development fee structure, and (3) 4.1% decrease in the gross profit margin from advertising services due to less revenue from video marketing campaign services and less advertising income from social media.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased by approximately $5.5 million, or 53.4%, to approximately $15.7 for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $10.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to the following:

Approximately $0.1 million, or 3.2%, decrease in selling expense was mainly attributable to approximately $0.6 million decrease in advertising and marketing expense as we received more compensation from our vendors related to qualify reimbursable expense during the year ended March 31, 2024, offset by $0.5 million increase in in sales commission and salary to sales department employees due to expansion of our business.

198

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Approximately $5.6 million, or 73.5%, increase in general and administrative expense was mainly attributable to increase of approximately $1.5 million in director fee to compensate our director for service performed, approximately $2.2 million increase in salary expenses, entertainment expenses, website maintenance expense, rent expense and other miscellaneous expenses due to our current business expansion, approximately $1.0 million increase in other professional fee as we are currently in the process to become a listed public company in the United States, approximately $0.7 million increase in amortization expense from intangible asset as we acquired additional intangible assets from business combination, and approximately $0.2 million increase in bad debt expense as we made additional allowance for credit loss against long aging accounts receivable.

Other expense, net

For the year ended March 31, 2024, we have other income, net amounted to approximately $0.5 million, while for the year ended March 31, 2023, we have other expense, net amounted to approximately $0.8 million, representing a net change of approximately $1.3 million or 157.9%. Such change was attributable to recognition of approximately $1.0 million increase in other income, net, which was primarily due to the $1.2 million received from our vendor who compensated our loss in prior period, approximately $0.7 million decrease in change in fair value of consideration payable related to our acquisition of 2Game, offset by approximately $0.3 million increased interest expense which was due to higher interest rate on loans acquired during the year ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Provision for income tax

Our provision for income tax decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 91.4 %, to approximately $53,000 income tax provision for the year ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $0.6 million for the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to an increase of approximately $0.4 million in deferred tax benefits resulting from the recognition of additional deferred tax asset from net operating loss (“NOL”) of our Singapore subsidiaries for the year ended March 31, 2024, as we expected to utilize the NOL against our taxable income in the future and approximately $0.2 million decrease in current income tax as we had less taxable income for the year ended March 31, 2024. In addition, the decrease of our provision for income tax were attributable to (1) 14.0% decrease of effective rate from tax rate difference outside Singapore which was mainly due to NOL from GCL BVI and GCL Global with total amount of approximately $1.5 million. Since GCL BVI and GCL Global were established in British Virgin Island and Cayman Island, respectively, they do not subject to income tax due to local laws, and (2) 4.2% decrease of effective rate from loss from foreign exchange transaction which is non-deductible from our Hong Kong subsidiaries. Given that we expect GCL BVI and GCL Global to continue incurring significant transaction costs related to the Business Combination with RFAC, we anticipate that the recent decrease in our provision for income tax to be indicative a trend in our future effective tax rates.

We incurred a net loss of approximately $2.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, while we have a net income of approximately $2.1 million for the same period in 2023, representing a change of approximately $4.1 million, or 191.6%. Such change mainly as a direct effect to the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations.

Despite a loss from operation of approximately $2.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2024, we have cash inflow from our operating activities of approximately $1.3 million while our retained earnings and working capital were approximately $11.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. To support our business operation for the next twelve months, we had cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash amounted to approximately $4.3 million as of March 31, 2024, and accounts receivable, net amounted to approximately $17.4 million which is short-term in nature that we expect to collect within our normal business cycle. Meanwhile, we also utilized debt financing in the form of short- term or long-term borrowings

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from banking facilities to finance the working capital requirements of the Company. As of March 31, 2024, we have utilized short-term and long-term borrowings from banking facilities amounted to approximately $8.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

On October 18, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with RF Acquisition Corp. (the “RFAC”), a U.S. publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). Upon closing of the business combination, we expect to receive potential funding from equity financing in the U.S. capital markets to partly support our working capital needs.

Our future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including but not necessarily limited to changes in the demand for our products or services, local government policy, economic conditions, and competition in the gaming industries.

However, based on the above considerations, our management is of the opinion that it has sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and current liabilities as they become due one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements are issued.

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of our significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, but we believe that the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

•

Allowance for credit loss

•

Inventories write-down

•

Indefinite-life intangible asset impairment

•

Deferred income taxes

•

Contingent consideration for acquisitions

•

Goodwill impairment

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our consolidated financial statements include estimates of allowances for credit loss and doubtful accounts, estimate of inventory write-down, estimates of impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, contingent consideration for acquisitions, and other provisions and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Allowance for credit loss and doubtful account

We adopted ASU No.2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”) on our accounts receivable and other receivables and other current asset using the modified retrospective approach, starting from April 1, 2021. The new credit loss guidance replaces the old model for measuring the allowance for credit losses with a model that is based on the expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new accounting guidance, we measure credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables using the current expected credit loss model under

202

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ASC 326. In As of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company provided allowance for credit loss of approximately $0.4 million and $59,000, respectively. For any prepayments determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories, services, or refundable. We recognize an allowance for doubtful account to reserve such balances. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided allowance related to prepayment of approximately $0.2 million and $52,000, respectively.

Inventories write-down

Inventories mainly include physical console game compact disc, gaming hardware and accessories which are purchased from our suppliers as merchandized goods. Inventories are reviewed for potential write- down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. We written off inventories of approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing 8.8% and 8.6%, respectively, of our inventories.

Indefinite-live intangible assets impairment

Impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets is conducted on both an interim and annual basis to assess whether the carrying value of an individual asset exceeds its fair value. When the carrying value exceeds fair value, the carrying amount is reduced to the fair value. The assessment for impairment incorporates a review of external factors, including current market prices for console game codes, market demand trends, and market competition. Additionally, the evaluation considers the long-term viability of the console game codes, factoring in elements such as platform support and the lifespan of the gaming ecosystem in which the console game codes operate.

If the fair market value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is determined to be lower than its carrying value at any point during the reporting period, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. For years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately $0.5 million and nil of impairment loss were recorded against the indefinite-live intangible assets, respectively.

Deferred Income taxes

Deferred taxes is accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. 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.

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.

Contingent consideration for acquisitions

We recognized contingent consideration as an contingent consideration for acquisition upon completion of the business combination. We determined the fair value of the contingent consideration for acquisition as the Company has the obligation to pay cash or issuing shares to settle the contingent consideration upon

203

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2Game’s achievement of certain performance milestones. In accordance with ASC 815-40” Derivatives and Hedging”, we determined that the contingent consideration for acquisition should classified as a liability and shall be measured initially, and subsequently at each reporting date. We continue to adjust the carrying value of the contingent consideration for acquisitions until contingency is finally determined. Any changes in fair value will be recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of income and comprehensive income.

Contingent consideration for acquisition was valued at the time of acquisitions and March 31, 2024, using unobservable inputs and the undiscounted cash flow methodology. The determination of the fair value is based on discounted cash flows, the key assumptions take into consideration the probability of meeting each performance target and the discount factor. As of the acquisition date of 2Game, the fair value of the contingent consideration for acquisition was determined to be approximately $3.4 million. Subsequently, the change of fair value of the contingent consideration for acquisition was amounted to a loss of approximately $ 0.3 million and $0.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the contingent consideration for acquisition was amounted to approximately $3.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

Goodwill impairment

We perform annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. As a result, we engaged with third party appraiser in assessing the fair value of the reporting unit, and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, and therefore, no impairment loss on goodwill was recognized for the year ended March 31, 2024. For the years ended March 31, 2023, management evaluated the recoverability of goodwill by performing qualitative assessment on its reporting units and determined that it is less likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and therefore, no impairment loss on goodwill was recognized for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Family Relationships

Catherine Choo See Ling, a director nominee of PubCo, and Mr. Jacky Choo See Wee, GCL Group Chairman, are siblings.

The Company’s Executive Compensation

The aggregate cash compensation paid to our directors and executive officers during fiscal year 2024 (including individuals who are no longer with GCL Group) was approximately US$2,585,458.

Foreign Private Issuer and Controlled Company

Pubco is a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act and, as such, Pubco is permitted to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country, the Cayman Islands,

207

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in lieu of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic companies. For example, Pubco is not required to have a majority of the board consisting of independent directors nor have a compensation committee or a nominating and corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors. Pubco may elect to follow its home country’s corporate governance practices as long as its remains a foreign private issuer. As a result, Pubco’ shareholders may not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. As a foreign private issuer, Pubco is also subject to reduced disclosure requirements and are exempt from certain provisions of the U.S. securities rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers such as the rules regulating solicitation of proxies and certain insider reporting and short-swing profit rules.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq rules, because Jacky Choo See Wee, our GCL Group Chairman will be able to exercise 55.8% of the aggregate voting power of Pubco’ total issued and outstanding shares (assuming no RFAC Public Shares are redeemed as described in this proxy statement/prospectus). Under the Nasdaq rules, a “controlled company” may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. Accordingly, Pubco has elected to avail itself of the exemptions available to it under Rule 5615(a)(7)(B) of the Nasdaq rules by foregoing (i) the requirement that Pubco have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (ii) the requirement that Pubco have a nominating and corporate governance committee with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. Pubco will be eligible to take advantage of additional exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. As a result, Pubco’s shareholders may not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

Independence of Directors

As a result of its securities being listed on Nasdaq following consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will adhere to the rules of such exchange, as applicable to foreign private issuers and controlled companies, in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of Pubco has consulted, and will consult, with its counsel to ensure that the board of director’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors.

Upon the Closing, we anticipate that the size of Pubco’s board of directors will be six directors, three of whom will qualify as independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of Nasdaq. We anticipate that Tse Meng Ng, Wilson W. Wang and Joshua Kewei Cui will be “independent directors” as defined in the rules of Nasdaq and applicable SEC rules.

Director Nominations

As a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules, Pubco is not required to and does not intend to have a standing nominating committee, though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or the Nasdaq rules. We believe that our independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the directors who will initially participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are expected to be Jacky Choo See Wee and Tse Meng Ng. Mr. Choo will not qualify as an independent director.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will establish a separately standing audit committee and compensation committee. Pubco Board will adopt a charter for each of these committees.

Audit Committee

Upon the Closing, Pubco’s audit committee will consist of Tse Meng Ng, Wilson W. Wang and Joshua Kewei Cui, with Mr. Cui serving as the chair of the committee. Each proposed member of the audit

208

TABLE OF CONTENTS

committee qualifies as an independent director under the Nadsaq corporate governance standards and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. In addition, each proposed member of the audit committee is financially literate. Following the Business Combination, our board of directors will determine which member of our audit committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of Nasdaq.

The audit committee’s responsibilities will include, among other things:

•

appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating and overseeing Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm;

•

discussing with Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management;

•

reviewing with Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

•

pre-approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm;

•

overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that Pubco files with the SEC;

•

reviewing and monitoring Pubco’s accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and

•

establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.

Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the audit committee which will be available on Pubco’s website upon the completion of the Business Combination.

Compensation Committee

Upon the Closing, Pubco’s compensation committee will consist of Jacky Choo See Wee, Catherine Choo and Joshua Kewei Cui. Neither Mr. Choo nor Ms. Choo will qualify as an independent director. Pubco will rely on the “controlled company” exemption of Nasdaq rules relating to compensation committee composition.

The compensation committee’s responsibilities will include, among other things:

•

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of Pubco’s Chief Executive Officers, evaluating the performance of Pubco’s Chief Executive Officer in light of these goals and objectives and setting or making recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of Pubco’s Chief Executive Officer;

•

reviewing and setting or making recommendations to Pubco’s board of directors regarding the compensation of Pubco’s other executive officers;

•

making recommendations to Pubco’s board of directors regarding the compensation of Pubco’s directors;

•

reviewing and approving or making recommendations to Pubco’s board of directors regarding Pubco’s incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements; and

•

appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants.

Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the compensation committee which will be available on Pubco’s website upon the completion of the Business Combination.

Code of Ethics

Pubco will have a code of ethics that applies to all of its executive officers, directors and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller

209

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics will be available on Pubco’s website. Pubco intends to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on its website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 6-K.

Shareholder Communication with the Board of Directors

Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate with the board of directors, including non-management directors, by sending a letter to us at 29 Tai Seng Ave #02-01, Natural Cool Lifestyle Hub, Singapore 534119 for submission to the board of directors or committee or to any specific director to whom the correspondence is directed. Shareholders communicating through this means should include with the correspondence evidence, such as documentation from a brokerage firm, that the sender is a current record or beneficial shareholder of Pubco. All communications received as set forth above will be opened by the corporate secretary or his or her designee for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents contain a message to one or more of our directors. Any contents that are not advertising materials, promotions of a product or service, patently offensive materials or matters deemed, using reasonable judgment, inappropriate for the board of directors will be forwarded promptly to the chairman of the board of directors, the appropriate committee or the specific director, as applicable.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of RFAC Common Stock as of December 23, 2024, and of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination by:

•

each person or group of affiliated persons known by RFAC to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of RFAC Common Stock on December 23, 2024;

•

each person or group of affiliated persons known by RFAC who may become the beneficial owner of more than 5% of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the Business Combination;

•

each of RFAC’s current executive officers and directors;

•

each person who will become an executive officer or a director of PubCo upon consummation of the Business Combination;

•

all executive officers and directors of RFAC as a group; and

•

all of RFAC’s executive officers and directors as a group after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the exercise of warrants or options, within 60 days of December 23, 2024. Shares subject to warrants or options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 23, 2024 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such warrants or options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as noted by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, based on the information provided we believe that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

The beneficial ownership of RFAC Common Stock prior to the Business Combination is based on 4,649,369 RFAC Common Stock (consisting of 4,649,369 RFAC Class A Common Stock and no RFAC Class B Common Stock) issued and outstanding as of December 23, 2024.

The expected beneficial ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination assumes two redemption scenarios as follows:

•

Assuming no redemptions: This presentation is based on 144,299,369 PubCo Ordinary Shares (inclusive of the 16,500,000 shares underlying the warrants and the 1,150,000 shares issuable upon automatic conversion of RFAC Public Rights) to be issued and outstanding and assumes that no shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock are redeemed and accordingly all such shares are exchanged for PubCo Ordinary Shares.

•

Assuming maximum redemptions: This presentation is based on 142,275,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares (inclusive of the 16,500,000 warrants and the 1,150,000 shares issuable upon automatic conversion of RFAC Public Rights) to be issued and outstanding, which assumes that RFAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 1,574,369 RFAC Public Shares (100% of the issued, outstanding and unredeemed RFAC Public Shares) in connection with the approval of the Business Combination, at a price of approximately $11.15 per share. This maximum redemption scenario reflects the maximum number of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed and allow RFAC to meet the Minimum Cash.

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the numbers in the below table will be different.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have or will have as of immediately following the Business Combination, as applicable, sole voting and investment power with respect to the voting securities beneficially owned by them.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to (x) U.S. holders and Non-U.S. holders (each as defined below, and collectively, “Holders”) of RFAC Public Share, RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights (each, an “RFAC Security”), as the case may be, of (i) electing to have their RFAC Public Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) the consummation of the Business Combination and (y) U.S. holders of the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants after the consummation of the Business Combination. This discussion addresses only those Holders that hold RFAC Securities and, if they participate in the SPAC Merger, will hold PubCo’s securities, as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally property held for investment). With respect to the U.S. federal income tax considerations of holding PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants, this discussion is limited to U.S. holders who acquire such PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

The following does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects arising in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the redemption of RFAC Public Shares, or the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants following the consummation of the Business Combination. This summary does not discuss any state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations, any non-income tax (such as gift or estate tax) considerations, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on net investment income.

•

This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to RFAC’s founders, the Sponsor or any other sponsors, officers or directors of RFAC, or to any holders of Sponsor Founder Shares and/or RFAC Private Placement Warrants. In addition, this summary does not address any tax consequences to investors that directly or indirectly hold equity interests in GCL BVI or GCL Global prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, this summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular investors in light of their particular circumstances, or to investors subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as: U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

•

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

•

persons holding shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock or RFAC Public Warrants as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated transaction;

•

mutual funds;

•

S corporations;

•

banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;

•

broker-dealers;

•

traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment;

•

“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

•

trusts and estates;

•

tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

•

investors subject to U.S. “inversion” rules;

•

persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock or RFAC Public Warrants being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

•

U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

217

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

holders actually, or through attribution, owning 5% or more (by vote or value) of the RFAC Common Stock or, following the Business Combination, the PubCo Ordinary Shares;

•

regulated investment companies (RICs) or real estate investment trusts (REITs);

•

persons who received any of RFAC’s stock as compensation;

•

pension plans; and

•

“qualified foreign pension funds”, as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code, and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds.

If an entity or arrangement is treated as a partnership (or other pass-through entity or arrangement) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of the persons treated as partners (or other owners) will generally depend on the status of the partners, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships (or other pass-through entities or arrangements) and the partners (or other owners) in such partnerships (or such other pass-through entities or arrangements) should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them relating to the matters discussed below.

This summary is based upon the Code, the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department, current administrative interpretations and practices of the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described below. None of RFAC, PubCo or GCL Global have sought, or intend to seek, any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed herein.

For purposes of this discussion, because any RFAC Unit consisting of one share of RFAC Class A Common Stock, one RFAC Public Warrant and one RFAC Public Right is separable at the option of the holder, the holder of an RFAC Unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying RFAC Class A Common Stock, RFAC Public Warrant and RFAC Public Right components, and the discussion below with respect to actual Holders of RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights also should apply to holders of RFAC Units (as the deemed owners of the underlying RFAC Class A Common Stock, RFAC Public Warrant and RFAC Public Right that constitute the RFAC Units). Under this treatment, the separation of an RFAC Unit in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Holders of RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and any foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (including any redemption of RFAC Public Shares for cash) with respect to any RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Warrants and RFAC Public Rights held through an RFAC Unit (including alternative characterizations of an RFAC Unit).

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of RFAC Public Shares, RFAC Public Warrants and/or RFAC Public Rights that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

•

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,

•

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

•

a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Also, for purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock, RFAC Public Warrants and/or RFAC Public Rights, as the case may be, who or that is neither a U.S. holder nor an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT TO HOLDERS OF RFAC SECURITIES DEPEND IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. IN ADDITION, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION (INCLUDING THE SPAC MERGER), THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO RFAC PUBLIC SHARES, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES AND PUBCO PUBLIC WARRANTS TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER WILL DEPEND ON THE HOLDER’S PARTICULAR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU, IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR INVESTMENT OR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES, OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION (INCLUDING THE SPAC MERGER), THE EXERCISE OF YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO RFAC PUBLIC SHARES, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES AND PUBCO PUBLIC WARRANTS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of PubCo

A corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization and incorporation. Accordingly, under generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, PubCo, which is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, would be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, not a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception to this general rule (more fully discussed below), under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These rules are complex and there is limited guidance regarding their application.

Under Section 7874 of the Code, a corporation created or organized outside the United States (i.e., a non-U.S. corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and, therefore, as a U.S. tax resident subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income) if each of the following three conditions are met: (i) the non-U.S. corporation, directly or indirectly, acquires substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including through the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation); (ii) the non-U.S. corporation’s “expanded affiliate group” does not have “substantial business activities” in the non-U.S. corporation’s country of organization or incorporation and (iii) after the acquisition, the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 80% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the non-U.S. acquiring corporation by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (taking into account the receipt of the non-U.S. corporation’s shares in exchange for the U.S. corporation’s shares) as determined for purposes of Section 7874 (this test is referred to as the “ownership test”). The ownership test in clause (iii) above is modified with respect to potential “third-country transactions” such that the ownership test will be met if, after the acquisition, the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 60% (by either vote or value) of the shares of the non-U.S. acquiring corporation by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (as modified, the “modified ownership test”). Because the Business Combination is a potential third-country transaction, the modified ownership test will apply to determine whether PubCo is treated as a U.S. corporation under Section 7874 of the Code.

For purposes of Section 7874 of the Code, the first two conditions described above are expected be met with respect to the Business Combination because PubCo will acquire indirectly all of the assets of RFAC through the SPAC Merger, and PubCo, including its “expanded affiliate group,” is not expected to satisfy the substantial business activities test upon consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, whether Section 7874 will apply to cause PubCo to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the Business Combination should depend on the satisfaction of the modified ownership test.

Based upon the terms of the Business Combination, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and certain factual

219

TABLE OF CONTENTS

assumptions, RFAC and PubCo currently expect that the Section 7874 ownership percentage of the RFAC Stockholders in PubCo should be less than 60%. Accordingly, PubCo is not expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code. However, the calculations for determining share ownership for purposes of the ownership test under Section 7874 of the Code are complex, subject to detailed rules and regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and could be impacted by changes to applicable rules and regulations under U.S. federal income tax laws, with possible retroactive effect), and subject to certain factual uncertainties. In addition, whether the modified ownership test has been satisfied must be finally determined after completion of the Business Combination, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances. Furthermore, for purposes of determining the ownership percentage of RFAC Stockholders for purposes of Section 7874, among other adjustments required to be taken into account, RFAC Stockholders will be deemed to own an amount of PubCo Ordinary Shares in respect to certain redemptions by RFAC prior to the SPAC Merger. Accordingly, given the inherently factual nature of the analysis, neither RFAC nor PubCo has sought a legal opinion from counsel in respect of the potential applicability of Section 7874 to the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert a contrary position to those described above or that such an assertion would not be sustained by a court.

If PubCo were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it could be subject to substantial liability for additional U.S. income taxes, and the gross amount of any dividend payments to its non-U.S. investors could be subject to U.S. withholding tax.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that PubCo will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Redemption to the Holders of RFAC Public Shares

U.S. Holders

Redemption of RFAC Public Shares. In the event that a U.S. holder’s RFAC Public Shares are redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section entitled “Special Meeting of RFAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights,” the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the RFAC Public Shares under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of the RFAC Public Shares, the U.S. holder will be treated as described under “— U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Redemption Treated as a Sale of RFAC Public Shares” below. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of the RFAC Class A Common Stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences described below under “— U.S. Holders — Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution.”

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on whether the U.S. holder owns any of RFAC’s stock following the redemption (including any shares constructively owned by the U.S. holder as described in the following paragraph), and if so, the total number of shares of RFAC’s stock held by the U.S. holder both before and after the redemption (including any stock constructively treated as owned by the U.S. holder) relative to all of RFAC’s shares outstanding both before and after the redemption, taking into account other transactions occurring in connection with the redemption (including the Business Combination). The redemption of RFAC Public Shares generally will be treated as a sale of the RFAC Public Shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests is satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock that the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include RFAC Public Shares that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the RFAC Public Warrants. Moreover, any RFAC Public Shares that a U.S. holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the

220

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Business Combination (including shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock acquired pursuant to the RFAC Public Rights) generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of RFAC’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of RFAC Public Shares must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of RFAC’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by such U.S. holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of RFAC Public Shares and the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination). There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of RFAC capital stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of RFAC capital stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed, the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of RFAC Public Shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in RFAC.

Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in RFAC will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution, and the tax effects will be as described under “— U.S. Holders — Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution” below. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed RFAC Public Shares will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its RFAC Public Warrants or possibly to the basis of other stock constructively owned by it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a U.S. holder exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for a portion of its RFAC Public Shares and exchanges the remainder of such stock for PubCo Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination, such redemption may be treated as integrated with the Business Combination rather than as a separate transaction. In such case, cash received by such U.S. holder in the redemption may also be treated as taxable boot received in a Code Section 351 transaction or a “reorganization” (which, depending on the circumstances applicable to such U.S. holder, may be treated as capital gain or dividend income to the extent of RFAC’s accumulated earnings and profits, as described above). Under this characterization, such U.S. holder may be required to recognize more gain or income than if the redemption of RFAC Public Shares was treated as a separate transaction from the exchange pursuant to the SPAC Merger and the related transactions, and would not be entitled to recognize any loss with respect to its redeemed RFAC Public Shares. In addition, if a U.S. holder that elects to participate in a redemption with respect to all its RFAC Public Shares maintains its ownership of RFAC Public Warrants, such redemption also may be treated as integrated with the Business Combination rather than as a separate transaction (with the same taxation effects described above). If the IRS were to assert, and a court were to sustain such a contrary position, such U.S. holder may be required to recognize more gain or income than if the redemption of RFAC Public Shares was treated as a separate transaction from the exchanges pursuant to the SPAC Merger and the related transactions.

Gain or Loss on Redemption Treated as a Sale of RFAC Public Shares. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of RFAC Public Shares, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the redemption and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its redeemed RFAC Public Shares. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its RFAC Public Shares generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the RFAC Public Shares so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the RFAC Public Shares may

221

TABLE OF CONTENTS

suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of RFAC Public Shares, a U.S. holder will generally be treated as receiving a distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in RFAC Public Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the RFAC Public Shares as described under “— U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Redemption Treated as a Sale of RFAC Public Shares” above.

Dividends (including amounts treated as dividends paid pursuant to a redemption of RFAC Public Shares) that RFAC pays to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends (including constructive dividends paid pursuant to a redemption of RFAC Public Shares) treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided that certain holding period requirements are met, dividends RFAC pays to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the preferential tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the RFAC Public Shares described in this proxy statement/prospectus may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. In general, information reporting requirements will generally apply to dividends (including constructive dividends paid pursuant to a redemption of RFAC Public Shares) paid to a U.S. holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of shares of RFAC Public Shares, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn). Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

Redemption of RFAC Public Shares. Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and FATCA below, the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s RFAC Public Shares pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section entitled “Special Meeting of RFAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights” generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder’s RFAC Public Shares, as described under “U.S. Holders — Redemption of RFAC Public Shares” above, and the consequences of the redemption to the Non-U.S. holder will be as described below under “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of RFAC Public Shares” and “Non-U.S. Holders — Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution,” as applicable.

Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of RFAC Public Shares. A Non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized on a redemption treated as a sale of RFAC Public Shares unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment or fixed place of business in the United States to which such gain is attributable); or

222

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the Non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the redemption and certain other requirements are met.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States) provided that the Non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of RFAC Public Shares, a Non-U.S. holder generally will be treated as receiving a distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from RFAC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of RFAC’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in RFAC Public Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the RFAC Public Shares and will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of RFAC Public Shares” above. In general, with respect to any distributions that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we or an applicable withholding agent will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other applicable documentation. It is possible that because the applicable withholding agent may not be able to determine the proper characterization of a redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s RFAC Public Shares, the withholding agent might treat the redemption as a distribution subject to withholding tax. A Non-U.S. holder may generally obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment or fixed place of business in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. holder will be exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax described above if such Non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of RFAC Public Shares) on RFAC Public Shares will not be subject to backup withholding, provided that the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any payments of dividends on RFAC Public Shares paid to the Non-U.S. holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of RFAC Public Shares within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification

223

TABLE OF CONTENTS

described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of RFAC Public Shares conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Withholding Taxes. Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends (including amounts paid in redemption of RFAC Public Shares that are treated as dividends) paid to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other Non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. The IRS has issued proposed regulations (on which taxpayers may rely until final regulations are issued) that would generally not apply these withholding requirements to gross proceeds from sales or other disposition proceeds of RFAC Public Shares. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on the redemption of RFAC Public Shares.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination

U.S. Holders

The SPAC Merger is intended to qualify as part of a Section 351 transaction and/or as a Section 368(a) reorganization. The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed to report the SPAC Merger for all applicable tax purposes in a manner consistent with a Section 351 transaction and to the extent permitted by applicable law will report the SPAC Merger as a Section 368(a) reorganization. These positions are not free from doubt, and in particular the potential for the SPAC Merger to qualify as a Section 368(a) reorganization is subject to significant factual and legal uncertainties as there is an absence of guidance directly on point as to how the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with investment-type assets, such as RFAC. For example, to qualify as a Section 368(a) reorganization, a transaction must satisfy certain requirements, including, among others, that the acquiring corporation continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d). There are significant factual and legal uncertainties as to whether the SPAC Merger will satisfy these requirements and, in turn, qualify as a Section 368(a) reorganization. In addition, Section 368(a) reorganization treatment could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur prior to or at the time of the SPAC Merger, some of which are outside the control of RFAC and PubCo. For example, the requirements for Section 368(a) reorganization treatment could be affected by the magnitude of RFAC Class A Common Stock redemptions that occur in connection with the SPAC Merger and/or the amount of cash used to pay certain transaction expenses in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the SPAC Merger is inherently uncertain. Due to these uncertainties, Winston & Strawn LLP is unable to opine on the qualification of the SPAC Merger as a Section 368(a) reorganization.

Subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” including the discussion below regarding the potential application of

224

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 367(a) of the Code to the SPAC Merger and in the U.S. federal income tax opinion filed as Exhibit 8.1, and based on customary tax representations obtained from certain parties to the Merger Agreement, it is the opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP, counsel to RFAC, that the SPAC Merger should qualify as part of a Section 351 transaction. The provisions of Section 351 of the Code are complex and qualification as a non-recognition transaction thereunder could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur following the consummation of the Transactions that are beyond the control of RFAC and PubCo. For example, if more than 20% of the PubCo Ordinary Shares were subject to an arrangement or agreement to be sold or disposed of at the time of their issuance in the Transactions, one of the requirements for qualifying as a Section 351 transaction would be violated. The Closing of the Business Combination (including closing of the SPAC Merger) is not conditioned upon the receipt of, and, except as set forth in Exhibit 8.1, neither RFAC nor PubCo has received or sought, an opinion of counsel that the SPAC Merger qualifies as a Section 368(a) reorganization or as part of a Section 351 transaction, and neither RFAC nor PubCo intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination (including the SPAC Merger), and the IRS or a court could take a different position from that described herein. U.S. Holders of RFAC Securities are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the SPAC Merger, including with respect to its qualification as part of a Section 351 transaction and/or as a Section 368(a) reorganization.

Conversion of an RFAC Public Right into RFAC Class A Common Stock. No statutory, administrative or judicial authority directly addresses the treatment of instruments similar to the RFAC Public Rights for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. While we believe that a U.S. holder of RFAC Public Rights should not be required to recognize gain or loss upon the receipt of RFAC Class A Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of the RFAC Public Rights, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with this treatment. If this treatment is respected, the tax basis of the share of RFAC Class A Common Stock acquired by a U.S. holder pursuant to the terms of the RFAC Public Rights should be equal to the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the relevant ten RFAC Public Rights with respect to which the share was issued. The holding period of such RFAC Class A Common Stock should begin on the day after the conversion of the RFAC Public Rights into such RFAC Class A Common Stock. U.S. holders of RFAC Public Rights that do not receive RFAC Class A Common Stock with respect thereto (because they hold fewer than ten RFAC Public Rights) should consult their tax advisers regarding their ability to claim a loss with respect to such non-converted RFAC Public Rights.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “RFAC Public Shares,” as used in the remainder of this discussion, includes any shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock a U.S. holder receives upon the conversion of such holder’s RFAC Public Rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

U.S. Holders Exchanging Only RFAC Public Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares. A U.S. holder that owns only RFAC Public Shares but not RFAC Public Warrants and that exchanges such RFAC Public Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares as a result of the SPAC Merger and related transactions generally should not recognize gain or loss. The aggregate tax basis of the PubCo Ordinary Shares received by such U.S. holder should be the same as the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the RFAC Public Shares exchanged therefor. The holding period of the PubCo Ordinary Shares received by such U.S. holder will include the period during which the shares of RFAC Public Shares exchanged therefor were held by such U.S. holder.

U.S. Holders whose RFAC Public Warrants Become PubCo Public Warrants. RFAC and PubCo may decide to report the SPAC Merger as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code. If the SPAC Merger is treated as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, a U.S. holder of RFAC Public Warrants that are converted to PubCo Public Warrants likely would not recognize gain or loss. The aggregate tax basis of the PubCo Public Warrants received by such U.S. holder should be the same as the aggregate adjusted tax basis of RFAC Public Warrants exchanged therefor. The holding period of the PubCo Public Warrants received by such U.S. holder will include the period during which RFAC Public Warrants exchanged therefor were held by such U.S. holder.

If the SPAC Merger and related transactions are treated as a transfer of property to a corporation under Section 351 of the Code but not as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, a U.S. holder that owns only RFAC Public Warrants but not RFAC Public Shares should recognize gain or loss upon the conversion of those RFAC Public Warrants to PubCo Public Warrants equal to the difference between

225

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the fair market value of the PubCo Public Warrants received and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. holder’s RFAC Public Warrants. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Public Warrants received in the SPAC Merger will equal the fair market value of such PubCo Public Warrants. A U.S. holder’s holding period in the PubCo Public Warrants received in the SPAC Merger should begin on the day after the SPAC Merger.

If the SPAC Merger and related transactions are treated as a transfer of property to a corporation under Section 351 of the Code but not as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, the treatment of a U.S. holder that owns both RFAC Public Shares that are exchanged for PubCo Ordinary Shares and RFAC Public Warrants that are converted into PubCo Public Warrants in the Business Combination depends on whether the conversion of RFAC Public Warrants into PubCo Public Warrants in the Business Combination is treated as part of the transfer of property to a corporation under Section 351 of the Code or as a separate transaction. If the conversion of RFAC Public Warrants into PubCo Public Warrants is treated as a separate transaction, then the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the U.S. holder’s exchange of RFAC Public Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares should be treated as described above under “— U.S. Holders Exchanging Only RFAC Public Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares,” and the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the conversion of RFAC Public Warrants for PubCo Public Warrants should generally be treated as described in the previous paragraph.

If the conversion of RFAC Public Warrants into PubCo Public Warrants in the Business Combination is treated as part of the transfer of property to a corporation under Section 351 of the Code, a U.S. holder would generally be treated as transferring each of (i) its RFAC Public Shares and (ii) its RFAC Public Warrants for a combination of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants received by such U.S. holder in the SPAC Merger. The PubCo Public Warrants received by such U.S. holder in the SPAC Merger would be allocated ratably between the RFAC Public Shares and the RFAC Public Warrants in proportion to their relative fair market values, and the U.S. holder would generally recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to each share of its RFAC Public Shares and each of its Warrants equal to the lesser of (i) the excess (if any) of the fair market value of such share or warrant over such U.S. holder’s tax basis in such share or warrant or (ii) the fair market value of such PubCo Public Warrants allocated to such share or warrant. Any loss realized by a U.S. holder would not be recognized. The holding period of the PubCo Ordinary Shares received by such U.S. holder should include the period during which the RFAC Public Shares exchanged therefor were held by such U.S. holder. A U.S. holder’s holding period in the PubCo Public Warrants received in the SPAC Merger should begin on the day after the SPAC Merger.

Gain, if any, described in the previous paragraphs that is recognized by a U.S. holder will generally be long-term capital gain to the extent it is allocated to exchanged RFAC Public Shares, or RFAC Public Warrants converted into PubCo Public Warrants, that were held by such U.S. holder for more than one year at the time of the Business Combination. Long-term capital gains recognized by a non-corporate U.S. holder generally would be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates under current law, but there are legislative proposals which, if enacted, could change this result, and it cannot be determined with certainty whether or not such proposals will be enacted. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the RFAC Public Shares described in this proxy statement/prospectus could toll a U.S. holder’s holding period.

Alternative Treatment of the Business Combination. If the SPAC Merger and related transactions are not treated as a transfer of property to a corporation under Section 351 of the Code or as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, the Business Combination will generally be treated as a taxable exchange of RFAC Public Shares and/or RFAC Public Warrants for PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Public Warrants. A U.S. holder of RFAC Public Shares and/or RFAC Public Warrants would generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares (and, if such holder also holds RFAC Public Warrants that convert into PubCo Public Warrants, the converted PubCo Public Warrants) received over (ii) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in such RFAC Public Shares (and RFAC Public Warrants, if any).

Any such gain would be capital gain, and generally would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the RFAC Public Shares (and/or RFAC Public Warrants, as applicable) exceeded one year at the time of the SPAC Merger. Long-term capital gains recognized by a non-corporate U.S. holder generally would be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to

226

TABLE OF CONTENTS

limitations. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the RFAC Public Shares described in this proxy statement/prospectus could toll a U.S. holder’s holding period.

A U.S. holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares (and/or PubCo Public Warrants, as applicable) would begin on the day after the SPAC Merger and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants received in the exchange should equal the fair market value of such PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants at the time of the exchange.

U.S. holders of RFAC Public Shares or RFAC Public Warrants are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination, including with respect to its qualification as part of a tax-deferred transaction pursuant to Section 351 of the Code or, alternatively, as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code.

Additional Requirements for Tax Deferral. Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder impose certain additional requirements for qualifying for nonrecognition of gain under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Code with respect to transactions where a U.S. person transfers stock or securities (or is deemed to transfer stock or securities) in a U.S. corporation to a foreign corporation in exchange for stock or securities in a foreign corporation. U.S. holders of RFAC Public Shares will be deemed to transfer shares of such stock to PubCo in exchange for PubCo Ordinary Shares for purposes of the rules under Section 367(a) of the Code.

In general, for the Business Combination to meet these additional requirements, certain reporting requirements must be satisfied and each of the following conditions must be met: (i) no more than 50% of both the total voting power and the total value of the stock of PubCo is received in the exchange, in the aggregate, by “U.S. transferors” (as defined in the Treasury regulations and computed taking into account direct, indirect and constructive ownership); (ii) no more than 50% of each of the total voting power and the total value of the stock of PubCo is owned, in the aggregate, immediately after the exchange by “U.S. persons” (as defined in the Treasury regulations) that are either officers or directors or “five-percent target shareholders” (as defined in the Treasury regulations and computed taking into account direct, indirect and constructive ownership) of RFAC; (iii) either (A) the U.S. holder is not a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (as defined in the Treasury regulations and computed taking into account direct ownership and ownership as a result of attribution rules) of PubCo or (B) the U.S. holder is a “five-percent transferee shareholder” of PubCo and enters into an agreement with the IRS to recognize gain on the transferred shares under certain circumstances; and (iv) the “active trade or business test” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(3) is satisfied. The active trade or business test generally requires (A) PubCo, or any qualified subsidiary of PubCo, to be engaged in an “active trade or business” outside of the U.S. for the 36-month period immediately before the transfer and neither the transferors nor PubCo to have an intention to substantially dispose of or discontinue such trade or business and (B) the fair market value of PubCo to be at least equal to the fair market value of RFAC, as specifically determined for purposes of Section 367 of the Code, at the time of the transfer. It is currently expected that conditions (i) and (ii) will be met, and (iv) will be met as a result of the activities of the Company. As a result, it is expected that the SPAC Merger and related transactions will not be taxable under Section 367 of the Code on account of such conditions. It should be noted, however, that there is limited guidance regarding the application of these requirements to facts similar to the Business Combination. In addition, the determination of whether Section 367(a) of the Code will apply to holders of RFAC Public Shares and RFAC Public Warrants cannot be made until the Business Combination is completed. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Section 367(a) of the Code will not apply to U.S. holders of RFAC Public Shares that participate in the Business Combination.

If the exchange of RFAC Public Shares and/or the conversion of RFAC Public Warrants pursuant to the Business Combination, taken together with the related transactions, would otherwise qualify for nonrecognition treatment under Section 351 of the Code or Section 368 of the Code, but it is determined that Section 367(a) of the Code applies, then a U.S. holder of RFAC Public Shares and/or RFAC Public Warrants would generally recognize gain with respect to each share of RFAC Public Shares or RFAC Public Warrant in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Public Warrants received over (ii) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in such share of RFAC Class A Common or RFAC Public Warrant. Any such gain would be capital gain, and generally would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the RFAC Public Shares (and/or RFAC

227

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Public Warrants, as applicable) exceeded one year at the time of the SPAC Merger. Long-term capital gains recognized by a non-corporate U.S. holder generally would be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The U.S. holder would not recognize any loss in such holder’s RFAC Public Shares (and/or RFAC Public Warrants, if applicable) and would not be permitted to net any such losses against any gain recognized with respect to other shares of RFAC Public Shares (or RFAC Public Warrants, if any). It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the RFAC Public Shares described in this proxy statement/prospectus could toll a U.S. holder’s holding period.

The rules dealing with Section 367(a) of the Code discussed above are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the application of these rules to your exchange of RFAC Public Shares and/or deemed exchange of RFAC Public Warrants under your particular circumstances, including, if you believe you will be a “five percent transferee shareholder,” the possibility of entering into a “gain recognition agreement” under applicable Treasury regulations.

Information Reporting, Backup Withholding and Additional Reporting Requirements. The information reporting and backup withholding requirements applicable to the sale or other taxable disposition of RFAC Public Shares, described above in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption to the Holders of RFAC Public Shares — U.S. Holders — Information Reporting and Backup Withholding”, would apply to the Business Combination to the extent it results in a taxable exchange of RFAC Public Shares and/or RFAC Public Warrants (which would be treated similarly to RFAC Public Shares for this purpose).

Certain U.S. holders may be required to file an IRS Form 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) to report a transfer of property to PubCo. Substantial penalties may be imposed on a U.S. holder that fails to comply with this reporting requirement and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply.

Non-U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to Non-U.S. holders generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the SPAC Merger to U.S. holders, as described under “— Tax Consequences of the Business Combination — U.S. Holders” above, although to the extent the Business Combination results in a taxable exchange of RFAC Public Shares or RFAC Public Warrants, the consequences would be similar to those described above under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption to the Holders of RFAC Public Shares — Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of RFAC Public Shares” and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption to the Holders of RFAC Public Shares — Non-U.S. Holders — Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” for a Non-U.S. holder’s gain on the redemption of RFAC Public Shares and the related information reporting and backup withholding requirements.

Tax Consequences to Ownership and Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants

U.S. Holders

Dividends and Other Distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” distributions (including, for the avoidance of doubt and for the purpose of the balance of this discussion, deemed distributions) on PubCo Ordinary Shares will generally be taxable as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from PubCo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of PubCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and will be treated as described below under the heading “— Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants.” The amount of any such distribution will include any amounts withheld, if any, by us (or another applicable withholding agent). It is not expected that PubCo will determine earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, U.S. holders should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend.

228

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amounts treated as dividends that PubCo pays to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will be taxed at regular tax rates and will not qualify for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. With respect to non-corporate U.S. holders, under tax laws currently in effect and subject to certain exceptions described below, dividends generally will be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate only if PubCo Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or PubCo is eligible for benefits under an applicable tax treaty with the United States, and, in each case, PubCo is not treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. holder at the time the dividend was paid or in the preceding year and is not a “surrogate foreign corporation” (as described above under “— Treatment of PubCo as a ‘Surrogate Foreign Corporation’ for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes”), and provided certain holding period requirements are met. United States Treasury Department guidance indicates that PubCo Ordinary Shares, which are intended to be listed on the Trading Market, will be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance, however, that PubCo Ordinary Shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years or that PubCo will be eligible for the benefits of such a treaty. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of PubCo’s status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met.

Amounts taxable as dividends generally will be treated as income from sources outside the U.S. and will, depending on the circumstances of the U.S. holder, be “passive” or “general” category income which, in either case, is treated separately from other types of income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to such U.S. holder. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the creditability of foreign taxes in their particular circumstances. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, a U.S. holder may, in certain circumstances, deduct foreign taxes in computing their taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law. Generally, an election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” upon any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants, a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of (x) the amount of cash and (y) the fair market value of any other property, received in such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrant (determined as described above or below). A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares received in exchange for RFAC Public Shares and in the PubCo Public Warrants converted from RFAC Public Warrants is described above under “— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination — U.S. Holders”.

Any gain or loss recognized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants exceeds one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will be taxable at a reduced rate. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Any gain or loss recognized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants generally will be U.S.-source income or loss for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to a U.S. holder.

Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of PubCo Public Warrants. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below and except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a PubCo Public Warrant, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the exercise of a PubCo Public Warrant. The U.S. holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Ordinary Share received upon exercise of a PubCo Public Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the PubCo Public Warrant

229

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and the exercise price of such PubCo Public Warrant. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in a PubCo Public Warrant that was converted from a RFAC Public Warrant is described under “— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination — U.S. Holders”. It is unclear whether the U.S. holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of the PubCo Public Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the PubCo Public Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the PubCo Public Warrants. If a PubCo Public Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Public Warrant.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a PubCo Public Warrant are not clear under current tax law. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a cashless exercise may be tax-free, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-free situation, a U.S. holder’s basis in the PubCo Ordinary Shares received would equal the holder’s basis in the PubCo Public Warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period in the PubCo Ordinary Shares will commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the PubCo Public Warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the PubCo Ordinary Shares would include the holding period of the PubCo Public Warrants.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of PubCo Public Warrants having an aggregate fair market value equal to the exercise price for the total number of PubCo Public Warrants to be exercised, and the U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the PubCo Public Warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in such PubCo Public Warrants. In that case, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Ordinary Shares received would equal the sum of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the PubCo Public Warrants exercised and the exercise price of such PubCo Public Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. holder’s holding period for the PubCo Ordinary Shares would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the PubCo Public Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the PubCo Public Warrants. There may also be alternative characterizations of any such taxable exchange that would result in similar tax consequences, except that a U.S. holder’s gain or loss would be short-term.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares received, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

If PubCo redeems PubCo Public Warrants for cash pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Description of PubCo Securities — Warrants” or if PubCo purchases public warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. holder, taxed as described above under “— Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants.”

Possible Constructive Distributions. The terms of each PubCo Public Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares for which the PubCo Public Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the PubCo Public Warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Description of PubCo Securities — Warrants — Public Stockholders’ Warrants — Anti-Dilution Adjustments.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not a taxable event. Nevertheless, a U.S. holder of the PubCo Public Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from PubCo if, for example, the adjustment increases PubCo Public Warrant holders’ proportionate interest in PubCo assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares which is taxable to such holders as described under “Dividends and Other Distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares” above. Such constructive distribution

230

TABLE OF CONTENTS

would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. holders of the PubCo Public Warrants received a cash distribution from PubCo equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules. Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. holder if PubCo is treated as a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for any taxable year during which the U.S. holder holds PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants. A non-U.S. corporation, such as PubCo, will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. For purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if PubCo owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, PubCo will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation.

Whether PubCo is treated as a PFIC is determined on an annual basis. The determination of whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of PubCo’s income and assets, and the market value of its shares and assets, including the composition of income and assets and the market value of shares and assets of its subsidiaries, from time to time, and thus the determination can only be made annually after the close of each taxable year and, thus, is subject to change. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided with respect to the status of PubCo as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the date of the SPAC Merger or in a future taxable year. PubCo’s U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to its PFIC status for any taxable year.

If PubCo is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder owns PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants and the U.S. holder did not make the QEF or mark to market elections discussed below (including if such elections are not available), PubCo or such non-U.S. subsidiary generally will continue to be a PFIC with respect to that U.S. holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. holder owns PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants, even if it ceases to meet the thresholds set forth under the asset test or the income test above, unless the U.S. holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to its PubCo Ordinary Shares. If a U.S. holder makes a “deemed sale” election, it will be deemed to have sold PubCo Ordinary Shares at their fair market value and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the rules described in the following paragraphs. After the deemed sale election, so long as PubCo does not become a PFIC in a subsequent taxable year, PubCo Ordinary Shares with respect to which such election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC and, as a result, the U.S. holder will not be subject to the rules described below with respect to any “excess distribution” it receives from PubCo or any gain from an actual sale or other disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares. U.S. holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors as to the possibility and consequences of making a deemed sale election if PubCo is and then ceases to be a PFIC and such an election becomes available.

If PubCo is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds PubCo Ordinary Shares, then, unless the U.S. holder makes either an applicable PFIC election (or elections), as further described below, for the first taxable year and each subsequent taxable year of PubCo in which it was treated as a PFIC, such U.S. holder generally will be subject to special adverse tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” that it receives and any gain that it recognizes from a sale or other disposition, including certain pledges, of PubCo Ordinary Shares. For this purpose, distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or the U.S. holder’s holding period for PubCo Ordinary Shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these rules:

•

the excess distribution or recognized gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for PubCo Ordinary Shares;

•

the amount of the excess distribution or recognized gain allocated to the taxable year of distribution or gain, and to any taxable years in the U.S. holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which PubCo was treated as a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

231

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the amount of the excess distribution or recognized gain allocated to each other taxable year will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, for each such year and the resulting tax will be subject to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax.

If PubCo is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder holds PubCo Ordinary Shares and any of PubCo’s non-U.S. subsidiaries or other corporate entities in which PubCo owns equity interests is also a PFIC, the U.S. holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of each such non-U.S. entity classified as a PFIC (each such entity, a lower-tier PFIC). Rules similar to those described above and below would apply to such shares. There can be no assurance that any of PubCo’s non-U.S. subsidiaries will not be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding the application of the PFIC rules to PubCo’s lower-tier PFICs (if any).

In general, if PubCo is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. holder may avoid the adverse PFIC tax consequences described above in respect of PubCo Ordinary Shares (but not PubCo Public Warrants) by making and maintaining a timely and valid QEF election (if eligible to do so) to include in income its pro rata share of PubCo’s (and any lower-tier PFICs’) net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the first taxable year of the U.S. holder in which or with which PubCo’s taxable year ends and each subsequent taxable year. A U.S. holder generally may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.

If a U.S. holder has made a QEF election with respect to its PubCo Ordinary Shares (and any lower-tier PFICs), and the excess distribution rules discussed above do not apply to such shares (because a timely QEF election for PubCo (and each lower-tier PFIC) was made in its first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. holder holds (or is deemed to hold) such shares or a purge of the PFIC taint was made pursuant to a purging election, such as the deemed sale election as described above), any gain recognized on the sale of PubCo Ordinary Shares generally will be taxable as capital gain and no additional interest charge will be imposed under the PFIC rules. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances. As discussed above, if PubCo is a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares that has made a QEF election will be currently taxed on its pro rata share of PubCo’s earnings and profits, whether or not distributed for such year. A subsequent distribution of such earnings and profits that were previously included in income generally may not be treated as dividends when distributed to such U.S. holder. The tax basis of a U.S. holder’s shares in a QEF will be increased by amounts that are included in income, and decreased by amounts distributed but not taxed as dividends, under the above rules. In addition, if PubCo is not a PFIC for any taxable year, such U.S. holder will not be subject to the QEF inclusion regime with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares for such a taxable year.

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. In order to make a QEF election, a U.S. holder must receive a PFIC Annual Information Statement from PubCo (or the lower-tier PFIC, if applicable), which includes information about PubCo’s (or the lower-tier PFIC’s) ordinary earnings and net capital gain.

If PubCo determines that it was, or could reasonably be deemed to have been, a PFIC for any taxable year, PubCo will endeavor to provide, and cause its non-U.S. subsidiaries that are PFICs, to provide, U.S. holders upon request of such information with tax information necessary to enable a U.S. holder to make a QEF election with respect to PubCo and its non-U.S. subsidiaries, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement. However, there is no assurance that PubCo or its non-U.S. subsidiaries will have timely knowledge of status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided.

A U.S. holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC Annual Information Statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of

232

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the IRS. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

Alternatively, if PubCo is a PFIC and PubCo Ordinary Shares constitute “marketable stock,” a U.S. holder may avoid the adverse PFIC tax consequences discussed above if such U.S. holder makes a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for the first taxable year in which it holds (or is deemed to hold) PubCo Ordinary Shares and each subsequent taxable year. Such U.S. holder generally will include for each of its taxable years as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its PubCo Ordinary Shares at the end of such year over its adjusted basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares. These amounts of ordinary income would not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. The U.S. holder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis of its PubCo Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its PubCo Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. holder’s basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its PubCo Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income.

Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to PubCo Public Warrants. Also, because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that PubCo may own, if PubCo were a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. holder that makes the mark-to-market election may continue to be subject to the tax and interest charges under the general PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. holder’s indirect interest in any subsidiaries of PubCo that are PFICs.

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock” — generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including the Trading Market (on which PubCo Ordinary Shares are intended to be listed). If made, a mark-to-market election would be effective for the taxable year for which the election was made and for all subsequent taxable years unless PubCo Ordinary Shares cease to qualify as “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares under their particular circumstances.

The application of the PFIC rules to PubCo Public Warrants is unclear. Proposed Treasury regulations issued under the PFIC rules generally treats an “option” (which would include a PubCo Public Warrant) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, while final Treasury regulations issued under the PFIC rules provides that the QEF election does not apply to options and no mark-to-market election (discussed above) is currently available with respect to options. Therefore, if the proposed Treasury regulations are finalized in their current form, U.S. holders of PubCo Public Warrants would be subject to the PFIC rules described above, but would not be able to make any PFIC elections with respect to PubCo Public Warrants.

However, a U.S. holder may make a QEF election with respect to a PubCo Ordinary Share acquired upon the exercise of a PubCo Public Warrant and a QEF election previously made with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares will apply to PubCo Ordinary Shares newly acquired upon exercise of a PubCo Public Warrant. Notwithstanding such QEF election, the adverse tax consequences relating to PFIC shares, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election, will continue to apply with respect to such newly acquired PubCo Ordinary Shares (which under proposed regulations, will be deemed to have a holding period for purposes of the PFIC rules that includes the period the U.S. holder held PubCo Public Warrants), unless the U.S. holder makes a purging election under the PFIC rules (such as the deemed sale election discussed above). U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to PubCo Public Warrants.

A U.S. holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. holder may have to file an IRS Form 8621(Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund) (whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is made) and to provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations applicable to such U.S. holder until such required information is furnished to the IRS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the purging, QEF, and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Public Warrants are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to PubCo securities under their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting, Backup Withholding and Additional Reporting Requirements. Dividend payments with respect to the PubCo Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of the PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants may be subject to information reporting filed with the IRS unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn). Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Certain U.S. holders (and to the extent provided in IRS guidance, certain individual Non-U.S. holders) holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar thresholds are required to report information to the IRS relating to PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for PubCo Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their tax return for each year in which they hold PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to file IRS Form 8938 and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on the ownership and disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Public Warrants.

FATCA Withholding Taxes

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on RFAC Securities to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by United States persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. Holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Thirty percent withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Such proposed regulations also delayed withholding on certain other payments received from other foreign financial institutions that are allocable, as provided for under final Treasury Regulations, to payments of U.S.-source dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued. However, there can be no assurance that final Treasury Regulations will provide the same exceptions from FATCA withholding as the proposed Treasury Regulations. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their investment in RFAC Securities.

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO SECURITIES

References in this section to “we,” “us,” or “our” are to PubCo, except where the context requires otherwise.

We are a Cayman Islands company incorporated with limited liability and our affairs are governed by the provisions of the PubCo Charter, as amended and restated from time to time, and by the provisions of applicable Cayman Islands law, including the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands.

Our company registration number in the Cayman Islands is 403942. As provided in the PubCo Charter, subject to Cayman Islands law, we have full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the laws of the Cayman Islands.

The following description summarizes certain terms of our shares as set out more particularly in the form of PubCo Charter attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. We urge you to read the applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law and the PubCo Charter carefully and in their entirety because they describe your rights as a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Authorized Shares

The authorized shares of PubCo consist of US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each, of which one PubCo Ordinary Share is currently issued and outstanding. Upon completion of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that [•] PubCo Ordinary Shares will be issued and outstanding.

Under the Companies Act, shares in PubCo are deemed to be issued when the name of the shareholder is entered in our register of members. Our register of members will be maintained by our transfer agent Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. If (a) information that is required to be entered in the register of members is omitted from the register or is inaccurately entered in the register, or (b) there is unreasonable delay in entering information in the register, a shareholder of PubCo, or any person who is aggrieved by the omission, inaccuracy or delay, may apply to the Cayman Islands Court for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse the application or order the rectification of the register, and may direct PubCo to pay all costs of the application and any damages the applicant may have sustained.

PubCo Ordinary Shares

The following summarizes the rights of holders of our PubCo Ordinary Shares:

•

each holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders generally, including the election of directors;

•

the holders of our PubCo Ordinary Shares are entitled to dividends and other distributions, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, if any, and pursuant to the PubCo Charter, all dividends unclaimed for three years after having been declared shall be forfeited and shall revert to PubCo; and

•

upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares will be entitled to share ratably, in the distribution of all of our assets remaining available for distribution after satisfaction of all our liabilities.

Preference Shares

The rights, preferences and privileges of PubCo Ordinary Shares are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any other class of shares that we may designate in the future having such rights as specified by the board of directors pursuant to the resolution of directors approving the creation of such class of shares. The directors shall not require any approval of the shareholders or any class of shareholders in respect of the creation or issuance of preference shares and the related amendment to the PubCo Charter.

235

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Preemption

Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares do not have any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for additional shares pursuant to the PubCo Charter.

Shareholders’ Meetings

The following summarizes certain relevant provisions of Cayman Islands law and the PubCo Charter in relation to our shareholders’ meetings:

•

the directors of PubCo may convene meetings of shareholders at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the Cayman Islands as the directors consider necessary or desirable. There is no requirement for PubCo to hold annual general meetings;

•

our shareholders holding not less than twenty percent (20%) in par value of the issued shares which as at that date carry the right to vote at general meetings shall have the ability to requisition a general meeting.

•

the directors convening a meeting must give not less than ten days’ clear notice of the proposed meeting;

•

a shareholder may be represented at a meeting of shareholders by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the shareholder;

•

no business may be transacted at a general meeting unless a quorum is present. A quorum is those shareholders present in person or by proxy or by a duly authorised representative holding shares entitled to vote on the business to be transacted which represent not less than one-third of all issued shares, unless PubCo has only one shareholder in which case that shareholder alone constitutes a quorum

•

an ordinary resolution of shareholders is passed by a simple majority of such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of the PubCo and where a poll is taken regard shall be had in computing a majority to the number of votes to which each shareholder is entitled by the PubCo Charter.

•

a special resolution of shareholders is passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of PubCo of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been duly given and where a poll is taken regard shall be had in computing a majority to the number of votes to which each shareholder is entitled;

The PubCo Charter do not permit the adoption by the shareholders of resolutions in writing. A shareholder resolution must be passed at a meeting of the shareholders.

Shareholders have no general right under the PubCo Charter to bring business before a general meeting of PubCo, save in the case of any shareholders right to requisition a general meeting provided the minimum shareholder requirement is met.

Appointment of Directors

The directors of PubCo may be appointed by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders. Alternatively, the PubCo board of directors may, by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the directors present and voting at a board meeting appoint any person as a director to fill a casual vacancy on the board or as an addition to the existing board. The PubCo directors are not automatically subject to a term of office and hold office until such time as their office is vacated or where they are removed from office by an ordinary resolution of shareholders or otherwise in accordance with the PubCo Charter. In addition, a director will cease to be a director if, among other things the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors: (ii) dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind within the scope of the PubCo Charter: (iii) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to PubCo; (iv) without special leave of absence from the PubCo Board, is absent from board meetings for a continuous period of 6 months and the PubCo directors resolve that his or her office be vacated; (v) by notice in writing signed by not less

236

TABLE OF CONTENTS

than three-fourths of all the PubCo directors in number; or (vi) is removed from office pursuant to any other provision of the PubCo Charter.

The officers of PubCo are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, and may be removed by our board of directors.

Shareholder Suits

In principle, PubCo will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:

•

a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;

•

the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; and

•

those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

The rights of RFAC Stockholders are currently governed by Delaware law and the RFAC Charter. At the effective time of the SPAC Merger, the RFAC Stockholders will automatically receive PubCo Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, the rights of the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares will be governed by Cayman Islands law and PubCo Charter. The following discussion summarizes material differences between the current rights of holders of RFAC Common Stock under the DGCL and the RFAC Charter and bylaws and the rights of the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares under Cayman Islands law and the PubCo Charter following the Closing.

The discussion in this section does not include a description of rights or obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws or the Trading Market rules, many of which are similar to, or have an effect on, matters described herein under Delaware or Cayman law. Such rights or obligations generally apply equally to shares of RFAC Common Stock and PubCo Ordinary Shares.

This summary is not intended to be a complete discussion of the respective rights of RFAC Stockholders and PubCo shareholders and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the Merger Agreement, and the RFAC Charter and PubCo Charter, which we urge you to read carefully and in their entirety. RFAC and PubCo urge you to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, the relevant provisions of the DGCL, the Merger Agreement, and the other documents to which we refer to in this proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete understanding of the differences between the rights of a PubCo shareholder and the rights of a RFAC Stockholder. RFAC has filed its governing documents with the SEC and will send copies of these documents to you, without charge, upon your request. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Redemption and Repurchases of Shares; Treasury Shares	Pursuant to Delaware law, shares may be repurchased or otherwise acquired, subject to the solvency restrictions of Delaware law, and except that shares subject to redemption at the option of RFAC may not be repurchased at a price which exceeds the price at which they could then be redeemed. Pursuant to Delaware law, RFAC may hold or sell treasury shares.	Under the Companies Act, shares may be redeemed or repurchased out of (a) profits, (b) share premium (subject to the statutory solvency test), (c) the proceeds of a fresh issuance of shares made for that purpose, or (d) capital, provided that payments out of capital are subject to the statutory solvency test and must be specifically authorized by a company’s articles of association. Ordinary Shares are not redeemable, but under the PubCo Charter, the PubCo Board may determine to repurchase shares on such terms as the board of directors determines or agrees with the relevant shareholder. No shareholder approval is required under the PubCo Charter. Any Ordinary Shares that have been repurchased may be held or sold as treasury shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the PubCo Charter.

Notice Requirements for Shareholder/Stockholder Nominations and Other Proposals	As permitted (but not required) by Delaware law, the RFAC Bylaws provide that, in general, to bring a matter before an annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate a candidate for election as a director, a stockholder must give notice of the proposed matter or nomination not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. The RFAC Bylaws provide that in the event the date of the annual meeting of stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, such stockholder notice must be delivered not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to such annual meeting or, in the case of a special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by RFAC.	There is no equivalent provision in the PubCo Charter.
Meeting of Shareholders/ Stockholders – Notice	As required by Delaware law, the RFAC Bylaws require not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice of a meeting of stockholders to be provided to stockholders, unless Delaware law provides for a different period.	As required by the PubCo Charter, at least 10 “clear” days notice must be given of any meeting of shareholders. A “clear” day means the period excluding the day on which the notice is given, or deemed to be given, and the day the notice is received, or deemed received.

Shareholders holding not less than twenty percent (20%) in par value of the issued Ordinary Shares shall have the right to require the PubCo Board to hold a general meeting within 60 days from the date of the despoit of the requisition request. If the PubCo Board does not within sixty (60) days from the date of the deposit of the requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further 21 days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing a majority of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a general meeting of PubCo, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three months after the expiration of such 21 day period.
Meeting of Shareholders/ Stockholders – Quorum	Pursuant to Delaware law, the RFAC Charter or bylaws may specify the number of shares required to constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, but in no event may a quorum consist of less than one-third of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Under the RFAC Bylaws, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at meeting of stockholders is required to constitute a quorum. Also under the RFAC Bylaws, if a quorum is absent at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting is able to adjourn the meeting.

Meeting of Shareholders/ Stockholders – Record Date	Pursuant to Delaware law, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders will be as fixed by the board of directors, but may not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors and may not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting of stockholders. If the board of directors so fixes a date, such date will also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting will be the date for making such determination.

Directors – Election/Appointment	Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred shares, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of preferred shares, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon.	Directors of PubCo are appointed by an ordinary resolution of shareholders (which is a simple majority threshold). Alternatively, the PubCo board of directors may, by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the directors present and voting at a board meeting appoint any person as a director as an addition to the existing board.
Directors – Term	The RFAC Board is divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of RFAC following the effectiveness of the RFAC Charter, the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of RFAC following the effectiveness of the RFAC Charter and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of RFAC. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease is apportioned among the classes to maintain an equal number of directors in each class as nearly as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy will hold office for the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors remove or shorten the term of any incumbent director.	The PubCo directors are not automatically subject to a term of such office until such time as their office is vacated or where they are removed from office by an ordinary resolution of shareholders or otherwise in accordance with the PubCo Charter. There is no division of the PubCo Board into different classes.

Directors may also be removed at any time by notice in writing signed by not less than three-fourths of all the PubCo directors in number, or as otherwise provided for in the PubCo Charter.
Directors – Vacancy	Any vacancies on the RFAC Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by RFAC Stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.	The PubCo Board has the power to appoint a person to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the PubCo Board, subject to the total number of directors not exceeding any limitation on the number of directors. Such director shall hold office until that director retires or is removed or as provided for in the PubCo Charter.
Directors – Number	Under Delaware law, the number of directors is fixed by or in the manner provided in the bylaws unless fixed by the RFAC Charter and if fixed by the RFAC Charter, the number may be changed only by amendment to the RFAC Charter. Under the RFAC Governing Documents, the RFAC Board must consist of one or more directors and the number of directors is to be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolution of the RFAC Board.	Under the PubCo Charter, the number of directors shall be established from time to time by ordinary resolution. Unless otherwise determined, the Board shall consist of not less than two members with no maximum. Upon close of the Business Combination, PubCo’s Board will have six (6) directors.

Directors – Quorum and Vote Requirements	As permitted by Delaware law, the RFAC Bylaws provide that the presence of the directors entitled to cast a majority of the votes of the whole RFAC Board constitutes a quorum. Except where applicable law or the RFAC Governing Documents otherwise provide, a majority of the votes cast by the directors present at a meeting at which there is a quorum will constitute action by the RFAC Board.	Under PubCo’s Charter, all matters brought to the vote of the Board shall be decided by a simple majority. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall have a second or casting vote. The quorum may be fixed by the PubCo, and unless so fixed shall be two (2) if there are two or more Directors, and shall be one if there is only one Director.
Director – Alternates	Under Delaware law, directors may not act by proxy.
Directors and Officers – Fiduciary Duties	Under Delaware law: • Directors and officers must act in good faith, with due care, and in the best interest of the corporation and all of its stockholders. • Directors and officers must refrain from self-dealing, usurping corporate opportunities and receiving improper personal benefits. • Decisions made by directors on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action was taken in the best interest of the corporation and all of its stockholders will be protected by the “business judgment rule.”	Under the PubCo Charter, any Director may appoint an alternate or a proxy. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, the duties of a director primarily derive from common law, the Companies Act, and the articles of association of a company. Under common law principles that will be applied by the Cayman Islands courts, directors have fiduciary duties, including: (a) the duty to act honestly and in good faith in what he or she considers are the best interests of the company (generally meaning the interests of the shareholders as a whole); (b) the duty of loyalty and to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest arising between his or her duties to the company and his or her personal interest (subject to the caveat that the articles of association may authorize conflicts that have been disclosed to the other directors); (c) a duty to exercise his or her powers as a director under the Companies Act and the articles of association of the company only for the purposes for which they are conferred and not for a collateral or improper purpose;

						and (d) a duty not to fetter his or her exercise of future discretion as a director. Directors also have a common law duty to act with care, diligence and skill in the performance of his or her role. The duties of care, diligence and skill of a director of a Cayman Islands company are generally determined by both reference to the knowledge and experience actually possessed by the director and by reference to the skill, care and diligence as would be displayed by a reasonable director in those circumstances. The Companies Act contains certain statutory duties, including: (a) the duty not to pay or make any distribution to shareholders out of capital or share premium unless a company is able to pay its debts as they fall due following such payment; and (b) the duty to maintain certain statutory registers and proper books and records. A director must also act in accordance with any specific duties set forth in the articles of association from time to time. A director who fails to perform their Cayman Islands common law duties may be personally liable for financial compensation to the aggrieved party, the restoration of the company’s property, or for the payment to the company of any profits made in breach of the director’s duty. In addition, a director who fails to perform their duties under the Companies Act may be personally liable to a statutory fine and/or imprisonment of varying severity depending on the nature of the duty breached. This liability is in addition to any liability the company itself may be subject to.

		A Cayman Islands company may, however, include a provision in its articles of association (and may in addition enter into a separate contractual arrangement with a director) indemnifying a director against all losses and costs suffered by such director as a consequence of performance of his or her role as such, and exculpating a director from any liability to the company itself, including in circumstances where such director is in breach of his or her duties (provided that there has been no willful neglect, wilful default, fraud, dishonesty or criminal act on the part of the director). A Cayman Islands company may also purchase insurance for directors and certain other officers against liability incurred as a result of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company. Please see “Director — Indemnification; Indemnification Insurance’’ below.
Director – Indemnification; Indemnification Insurance	A summary of indemnification of officers and directors under Delaware law, the RFAC Governing Documents and director indemnification agreements is discussed below following this table of comparison. A Delaware corporation may purchase insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation.	The PubCo Charter provides that every current and former director and officer shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law, except where the liability has arisen as a result of the actual fraud or wilful default of such person. PubCo must also advance reasonable legal fees and costs provided that the indemnified person undertakes to repay such amounts if it is determined that the individual was not entitled to be indemnified. Pubco may purchase insurance for the purpose of providing this indemnification.
Sale of Assets	Pursuant to Delaware law, the sale of all or substantially all the assets of RFAC requires approval by the RFAC Board and the stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding	Under Cayman Islands law, generally speaking, shareholder approval is not required for the disposal of assets of an exempted company.

	shares of stock entitled to vote thereon.
Dissolution/Winding Up	Under Delaware law, the dissolution of a corporation requires either (1) the approval of the board of directors and at least a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon or (2) the approval of all of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon.	Under the Cayman Companies Act, a voluntary liquidation may be commenced by the shareholders of a company if a special resolution is passed to that effect. The directors are then required to swear a declaration of the company’s solvency within 28 days of the voluntary liquidation resolution being passed. If the directors are unable to do so, the voluntary liquidator appointed by the voluntary liquidation resolution will apply to the Cayman Islands courts for a supervision order and the liquidation will proceed under the supervision of the Cayman Islands courts. In addition, any shareholder who has held shares for at least six months (or any lesser period if the shares are held following transmission on death of a former shareholder) is entitled to petition the Cayman Islands courts to make a winding up order. A Cayman Islands court may make a winding up order if it is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up. However, where a shareholder has contractually agreed not to present a petition for winding up against a company, the Companies Act provides that the Cayman Islands courts shall dismiss any petition for winding up by that shareholder.
Dissenters’/Appraisal Rights	A stockholder may dissent and obtain fair value of shares in connection with certain mergers and consolidations.	The Companies Act does not specifically provide for any appraisal rights. However, in connection with the compulsory transfer of shares where a person has acquired at least 90% of the shares of the same class pursuant to an offer for all of the shares of that class and proceeds to serve notice of

249

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Provision			RFAC			PubCo
						compulsory for acquisition of the remainder (as described above in “Business combinations”), any shareholder to whom such compulsory acquisition applies may apply to the Cayman Islands court within one month of receiving notice of the compulsory transfer to object to the transfer. In these circumstances, the burden is on the objecting shareholder to show that the court should exercise its discretion to prevent the compulsory transfer. The Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to grant any relief in the absence of bad faith, fraud, unequal treatment of shareholders or collusion as between the offeror and the holders of the shares who have accepted the offer as a means of unfairly forcing out minority shareholders. In addition, in connection with a merger or a consolidation, dissenting shareholders have the right to object to the terms of merger or consolidation approved by special resolution and instead be paid the fair value of their shares in cash (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court).These rights of a dissenting shareholder are not available in certain circumstances, for example, (i) to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or (ii) where the consideration for such shares to be contributed are shares of the surviving or consolidated company (or depositary receipts in respect thereof) or shares of any other company (or depositary receipts in respect thereof) which, at the effective date of the merger

		or consolidation, are listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on a recognized interdealer quotation system or held of record by more than 2,000 holders.
Shareholders’/Stockholders’ Derivative Actions	Pursuant to Delaware law, in any derivative suit instituted by a stockholder of a corporation, it must be averred in the complaint that the plaintiff was a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction of which the stockholder complains or that such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved upon such stockholder by operation of law. Pursuant to Delaware law, the complaint must set forth with particularity the efforts of the plaintiff to obtain action by the board of directors (“demand refusal”) or the reasons for not making such effort (“demand excusal”). Such action may not be dismissed or compromised without the approval of the court. In general, the stockholder instituting the derivative suit must maintain stock ownership through the pendency of the derivative suit.	Under common law principles, shareholders in a Cayman Islands company are entitled to have the affairs of a company conducted in accordance with such company’s constitution and applicable law. As such, shareholders may bring personal or representative actions against a company in respect of breaches of their (and other similarly affected shareholders’) rights as shareholders under the constitution of the company and applicable law (for example, in the event that they are prevented from exercising voting rights, or from requisitioning a meeting). A minority shareholder may also bring a derivative action in the name of a company. While, as a matter of common law (under the general rule known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle), the Cayman Islands courts will generally refuse to interfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority shareholder in circumstances where the majority have approved or ratified the matter or act in contention, a minority shareholder may be permitted to commence a derivative action in the name of a company in order to challenge any such matter or act which: (a) is ultra vires the company or illegal; (b) constitutes a fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (c) constitutes an infringement of individual rights of shareholders (such as a right to attend and vote at a meeting); and/or (d) has not been properly approved in

		accordance with any applicable special or extraordinary majority of the shareholders. The Companies Act also gives power to the Cayman Islands courts to wind up a company if the courts are of the opinion that it would be just and equitable to do so (and if the courts consider it just and equitable to wind up the company, they may instead make other orders with respect to the company as an alternative to a winding up order). The basis on which the courts may make exercise such powers on application by shareholders in a Cayman Islands company have been held to include the following: (a) the substratum of the company has disappeared; (b) there has been some fraud on the minority or illegality; and (c) there has been mismanagement or misapplication of the company’s funds.
Anti-Takeover Provision/Regulation of Takeovers, Substantial Acquisition Rules	Delaware law generally prohibits “business combinations,” including mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities and similar transactions by a corporation, with an “interested stockholder” who directly or indirectly beneficially owns 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, within three years after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, unless: • the business combination or the transaction which caused the person or entity to become an interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors prior to the business combination or the transaction; • upon the completion of the transaction in which the person or entity becomes an interested	Except for specific rules that apply only to companies listed on the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange or companies that are regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (which are not applicable to PubcCo, there are no rules or restrictions under the Cayman Islands’ Code on Takeovers and Mergers and Rules Governing Substantial Acquisitions of Shares governing the acquisition of all or a specified percentage of direct or indirect voting rights in a Cayman Islands company, or the conduct of the directors of a Cayman Islands company following an actual or potential takeover or merger offer, nor are there any statutory restrictions in respect of defensive mechanisms which the board of directors could employ in respect of actual or potential takeover or merger

Business Combination	Under Delaware law, in a process known as a “short form” merger, a corporation that owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of voting stock of another corporation that, absent such law, would be entitled to vote on such merger, may either merge the other corporation into itself and assume all of its obligations or merge itself into the other corporation by executing, acknowledging and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of such ownership and merger setting forth a copy of the resolution of its board of directors authorizing such merger. If the parent corporation is a Delaware corporation that is not the surviving corporation, the merger also must be approved by a majority of the outstanding stock of the parent corporation entitled to vote thereon. If the parent corporation does not own all of the stock of the subsidiary corporation immediately prior to the merger, the minority stockholders of the subsidiary corporation party to the merger will have appraisal rights.	The Companies Act makes specific provision for the acquisition of a Cayman Islands company by way of a court-approved scheme of arrangement, by way of mandatory squeeze-out following a tender offer, and by way of merger. A court-approved scheme of arrangement under the Companies Act requires the approval of a majority in number of the registered holders of each participating class or series of shares voting on the scheme of arrangement, representing 75% or more in value of the shares of each participating classes or series voted on such proposal at the relevant meeting (excluding any shares held by the acquiring party on the basis that they will be considered a separate “class”). If a scheme of arrangement receives the requisite shareholder approval and is subsequently sanctioned by the Cayman Islands courts, all holders of all classes or series of shares to which the series relates will be bound by the terms of the scheme of arrangement. The Companies Act also provides that, where an offer is made to acquire all of a class of shares and the holders of 90% or more in value of the shares of such class (excluding shares already held by the offeror) have accepted such offer within four months of it being made, the offeror may require the remaining shareholders in that class to transfer their shares on the same terms as set out in the offer by serving notice at any time within two months of the expiry of the

253

						four month period (subject to a right of such remaining shareholders to obtain relief from the Cayman Islands courts, as described below in “Appraisal rights”). If the offeror acquires more than 90% of the shares of a class following such an offer but does not exercise its compulsory acquisition right, the remaining shareholders have no right to require the offeror to acquire their shares on the terms of the offer following closure of the offer. The Companies Act also provides that business combinations can be effected by way of a merger of a Cayman Islands company with one or more other companies (wherever incorporated, provided that such merger is not prohibited by the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of any such other company) with the approval of the shareholders by special resolution. In addition, the consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security of a constituent company in any such merger must be obtained, unless the Cayman Islands courts waive such requirement. Shareholders who register their dissent to the merger in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act have the right to receive the “fair value” of their shares in cash, subject to certain exceptions, as further described below in “Dissenters’/Appraisal rights”).

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation a provision that, subject to the limitations described below, eliminates or limits the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty as a director. Such a provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) the willful or negligent payment of unlawful dividends or purchases or redemptions of shares of stock, or (iv) transactions from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. The RFAC Charter includes a provision providing that directors of RFAC shall not be liable to RFAC or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent such exemption or limitation is not permitted by the DGCL or unless they violated their duty of

254

TABLE OF CONTENTS

loyalty to RFAC or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

The DGCL also provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee of another entity, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, in actions not brought by or in the right of the corporation, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, in each case, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, but only if such person acted in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that in any action brought by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification may not be made if such person is adjudged liable to the corporation (unless otherwise determined by the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought or the Delaware Court of Chancery). In addition, under Delaware law, to the extent that a present or former director or officer of a Delaware corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her. Furthermore, under Delaware law, a Delaware corporation is permitted to maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

The PubCo Charter provide that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, every current and former Director and officer of the PubCo (excluding an Auditor) shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the assets of the PubCo against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses (each a “liability”), which such indemnified person may incur in that capacity unless such liability arose as a result of the actual fraud or willful default of such person. Under the PubCo Charter, every current and former Director and officer of the PubCo shall be liable to PubCo for any loss or damage resulting (directly or indirectly) from such indemnified person carrying out his or her duties unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or willful default of such indemnified person. For this purpose, no officer or Director shall be deemed to have committed “actual fraud” or “willful default” until a court of competent jurisdiction has made a final, non-appealable finding to that effect.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Laws

Delaware law and the RFAC Governing Documents contain provisions that may prevent or discourage a third party from acquiring RFAC, even if the acquisition would be beneficial to its stockholders.

PubCo’s authorized but unissued ordinary shares are available for future issuances without shareholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. Under the PubCo Charter, the Board is authorized to issue these shares in one or more classes with differing rights. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved ordinary shares and preference shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

RFAC is subject to Delaware law prohibiting RFAC from engaging in any “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years subsequent to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:

•

prior to such time, the RFAC’s board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder;

255

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock (with certain exclusions); or

•

at or after the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the RFAC Board and authorized by a vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of RFAC not owned by the interested stockholder.

For purposes of Delaware law, an “interested stockholder” generally is defined as an entity or person (other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation) directly or indirectly beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated or associated with such entity or person.

For purposes of Delaware law, a “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder. This Delaware law could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts with respect to RFAC and, accordingly, may discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by RFAC Stockholders.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

The Cayman Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (1) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (2) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company.

In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by either (1) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (2) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose, a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company must be obtained, unless the court waives such requirement.

Where the merger or consolidation involves a foreign company, the procedure is similar, save that with respect to the foreign company, the directors of the Cayman Islands exempted company are required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, they are of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (1) that the merger or consolidation is permitted or not prohibited by the constitutional documents of the foreign company and by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the foreign company is incorporated, and that those laws and any requirements of those constitutional documents have been or will be complied with; (2) that no petition or other similar proceeding has been filed and remains outstanding or order made or resolution adopted to wind up or liquidate the foreign company in any jurisdictions; (3) that no receiver, trustee, administrator or other similar person has been appointed in any jurisdiction and is acting in respect of the foreign company, its affairs or its property or any part thereof; and

256

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(4) that no scheme, order, compromise or other similar arrangement has been entered into or made in any jurisdiction whereby the rights of creditors of the foreign company are and continue to be suspended or restricted.

Where the surviving company is the Cayman Islands exempted company, the directors of the Cayman Islands exempted company are further required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, they are of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (1) that the foreign company is able to pay its debts as they fall due and that the merger or consolidated is bona fide and not intended to defraud unsecured creditors of the foreign company; (2) that in respect of the transfer of any security interest granted by the foreign company to the surviving or consolidated company (a) consent or approval to the transfer has been obtained, released or waived; (b) the transfer is permitted by and has been approved in accordance with the constitutional documents of the foreign company; and (c) the laws of the jurisdiction of the foreign company with respect to the transfer have been or will be complied with; (3) that the foreign company will, upon the merger or consolidation becoming effective, cease to be incorporated, registered or exist under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction; and (4) that there is no other reason why it would be against the public interest to permit the merger or consolidation.

Where the above procedures are adopted, the Cayman Companies Act provides for a right of dissenting shareholders to be paid a payment of the fair value of his shares upon their dissenting to the merger or consolidation if they follow a prescribed procedure. In essence, that procedure is as follows: (1) the shareholder must give his written objection to the merger or consolidation to the constituent company before the vote on the merger or consolidation, including a statement that the shareholder proposes to demand payment for his shares if the merger or consolidation is authorized by the vote; (2) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice to each shareholder who made a written objection; (3) a shareholder must within 20 days following receipt of such notice from the constituent company, give the constituent company a written notice of his intention to dissent including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (4) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in paragraph (2) above or seven days following the date on which the plan of merger or consolidation is filed, whichever is later, the constituent company, the surviving company or the consolidated company must make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase his shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the company and the shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the shareholder such amount; and (5) if the company and the shareholder fail to agree a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period expires, the company (and any dissenting shareholder) must file a petition with the Cayman Islands courts to determine the fair value and such petition must be accompanied by a list of the names and addresses of the dissenting shareholders with whom agreements as to the fair value of their shares have not been reached by the company. At the hearing of that petition, the court has the power to determine the fair value of the shares together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid by the company upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Any dissenting shareholder whose name appears on the list filed by the company may participate fully in all proceedings until the determination of fair value is reached. These rights of a dissenting shareholder are not available in certain circumstances, for example, to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or where the consideration for such shares to be contributed are shares of any company listed on a national securities exchange or shares of the surviving or consolidated company.

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Cayman Companies Act also has separate statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction or amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder would have the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

•

the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE COMPANY

This section sets forth a summary of applicable laws, rules, regulations, government and industry policies and requirements that have a significant impact on the Company’s operations and business in Asia. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all laws and regulations, which apply to the Company’s business and operations. Investors should note that the following summary is based on relevant laws and regulations in force as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, which may be subject to change.

Our business is predominantly conducted by our Group Subsidiaries in Singapore, but we have operations also in Malaysia and Hong Kong. Hong Kong was established as a special administrative region of the PRC in accordance with Article 31 of the Constitution of the PRC. The Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (the “Basic Law”) was adopted and promulgated on April 4, 1990 and became effective on July 1, 1997, when the PRC resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Basic Law, Hong Kong is authorized by the National People’s Congress of the PRC to exercise a high degree of autonomy and enjoy executive, legislative and independent judicial power, under the principle of “one country, two systems”; furthermore, the laws previously in force in Hong Kong, that is, the common law, rules of equity, ordinances, subordinate legislation and customary law, shall be maintained, except for any that contravene the Basic Law and are subject to any amendment by the legislature of Hong Kong, and the national laws of the mainland China shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those that relating to defense, foreign affairs and other matters that are not outside the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong as specified by the Basic Law, which are listed under Annex III to the Basic Law.

We are subject to various laws and regulations in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the other countries in which we operate, including those relating to video game distribution and classification, internet content, consumer protection, labor laws, prevention of money laundering and financing of criminal activity and terrorism, privacy and data protection, foreign exchange controls and competition laws, among others, all of which are continuously evolving and developing. It is also likely that as our business grows and evolves to other countries, including Brazil where we have established presence but have not yet conducted any business activities as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and we will become subject to laws and regulations in additional jurisdictions. The scope and interpretation of the laws and regulations that are or may be applicable to us are often unclear and may conflict. Additional laws in these and other areas affecting our business are likely to be enacted in the future, which could limit or require changes to the ways in which we conduct our business, and could both increase our compliance costs and decrease our revenues. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Company’s International Operations, Legal and Regulatory Matters.”

Regulations in Singapore

We conduct business in Singapore through the following subsidiaries: (a) Epicsoft Asia, which is primarily involved in the marketing and retail distribution of video games, game codes and other related consumer items in Singapore, (b) TDM, which operates a branding and digital marketing agency, (c) Starry Jewelery, which is in the business of fashion jewellery sales, (d) Martiangear, which is in the business of sales of gaming chairs and related merchandise sales, and (e) 4Divinity, which is primarily involved in the digital and retail game business.

Each of our Singapore subsidiaries has been incorporated in accordance with the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore (“Singapore Companies Act”) and registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore as required by the Singapore Companies Act.

Regulations on Video Game Distribution and Classification

Pursuant to the Films Act 1981 of Singapore, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (“IMDA”), being the regulator of the information, communications and media sectors in Singapore, is responsible for classifying films, videos and video games distributed in Singapore. In particular, it administers the video game classification system under the Films Act 1981, which requires businesses importing or distributing physical copies of video games in Singapore to submit the video games to the IMDA for rating and classification. However, the video game classification system does not apply to games which are only available via internet download. Since the online games that we offer are available only through online platforms, we

259

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in general are not subject to the video game classification system. However, the IMDA retains the right to issue a rating and/or classification of any of the online games we offer, should it choose to do so.

Under the Films (Class Licence for Video Games Distribution) Order 2019, distributors and retailers of video games in Singapore are automatically class licensed, and shall comply with the conditions of the class licence under the said Order such as ensuring that only appropriate video games or any related promotional films are distributed.

Regulations on Consumer Protection

There are various general consumer protection laws in place in Singapore, which apply generally to all relevant transactions including electronic transactions, but are not specifically targeted at regulating e-commerce operations. One or more of these laws would be relevant in the context of live streaming operations or e-commerce operations.

The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003 of Singapore is the primary statute governing consumer protection which sets out a legislative framework prohibiting suppliers from engaging in unfair practices in relation to transactions and to allow consumers aggrieved by unfair practices to have recourse to civil remedies before the Singapore courts. The definition of supplier under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003 of Singapore includes persons who promote the use or purchase of goods or services. Suppliers may be held liable for engaging in unfair practices in relation to consumer transactions. Unfair practices include, among other things, (i) doing or saying anything, or omitting to do or say anything, that would reasonably deceive or mislead consumers, (ii) making a false claim, (iii) taking unreasonable advantage of a consumer, or (iv) making various forms of misrepresentations to the consumer.

The Consumer Protection (Trade Descriptions and Safety Requirements) Act 1975 of Singapore prohibits the use of false trade descriptions on goods supplied in the course of trade. Trade descriptions include any description, statement or indication that directly or indirectly relates to the fitness for purpose, strength, performance, behavior or accuracy of any goods. This prohibition applies to all persons in the course of business and would be applicable in an e-commerce marketplace. Violations of the Consumer Protection (Trade Descriptions and Safety Requirements) Act 1975 of Singapore are subject to criminal liability.

The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 of Singapore generally regulates against unfair contract terms such as exclusion clauses and limitation of liability clauses in most consumer and standard form contracts. Amongst other things, the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 of Singapore prohibits the exclusion or restriction of liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence in all contracts. It also prevents sellers/service providers from excluding or limiting their liability for a breach of contract, unless it is reasonable for them to do so. The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 also circumscribes the limitation of liability in relation to certain implied terms in respect of goods purchased.

The Singapore Code of Advertising Practice (the “SCAP”) is a code of practice set out by the Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore (the “ASAS”) prescribing general principles applicable to advertisements, which include decency, honesty and truthful presentation, and contains guidelines relating to specific services/products. While the SCAP has no force of law, a breach of the SCAP may lead to ASAS referring the matter to the Consumers Association of Singapore for actions under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003 of Singapore if an advertiser has repeatedly violated the SCAP by marketing false, misleading or unsubstantiated claims. The ASAS has also issued additional guidelines from time to time, such as the Guidelines for Interactive Marketing Communication & Social Media, which emphasizes that marketing communication should be clearly distinguishable from editorial and personal opinion and should not take the form of social media content that appears to originate from a credible and impartial source, and the Guidelines on Advertising of Investments, which aim to minimize investments-related advertisement with claims that are speculative, misleading or not substantiable.

The Spam Control Act 2007 of Singapore, as administered by the IMDA regulates the sending or receiving of unsolicited bulk commercial electronic messages, or “spam”, in Singapore It imposes certain requirements on the sending or receiving of unsolicited bulk commercial electronic messages, or “spam,” in Singapore and applies to emails and text messages that have a Singapore nexus. Electronic messages must have an “unsubscribe facility” or “opt-out” function, and the recipient should be removed from the distribution

list within 10 business days after submitting an opt-out request. Any person who suffers loss or damage as a result of any violation of the foregoing requirements is entitled to institute legal action, and the court may grant injunctions, damages or statutory damages.

Regulations on Internet Content

Under the Broadcasting Act 1994 of Singapore (“Broadcasting Act”), no licensable broadcasting services in or from Singapore can be provided unless a broadcasting license has been granted by the IMDA. “Computer online services” provided by internet content providers (as defined under the Broadcasting (Class License) Notification, “ICPs”) are a licensable broadcasting service under the Broadcasting Act. Providers of Internet-based content generally are considered ICPs under the Broadcasting (Class License) Notification and are subject to an automatically-granted class license.

ICPs must comply with codes of practice issued by the IMDA from time to time, including the Internet Code of Practice issued by IMDA. These requirements include, among other things, that the ICP must use its best efforts to ensure that prohibited material (i.e., any material that is objectionable on the grounds of public interest, public morality, public order, public security or national harmony, offends good taste or decency, or is otherwise prohibited by applicable Singapore laws) is not broadcasted via the internet to users in Singapore and must deny access to any material considered by IMDA to be prohibited material if it is directed to do so by the IMDA.

The Protection from Harassment Act 2014 of Singapore protects persons against harassment and harmful social behavior such as cyber bullying and unlawful stalking, as well as the publication of false statements of fact about any person. Perpetrators can be both individuals and organisations. Individual suffering from such harassment or social behavior, a victim, may apply for a protection order if he or she is able to show, inter alia, that the perpetrator of harassment, through threatening, abusive or insulting communication, has: (i) caused harassment, alarm or distress to the victim through the intention to use or make any threatening, abusive or insulting communication; or (ii) caused the victim to believe that violence will be used or provoked against him or her. Where a protection order has been granted by the Singapore courts under the relevant provisions of the Protection from Harassment Act 2014 of Singapore in relation to online harassment that has been perpetrated, the perpetrator may be required to take down the offending communication and may also be required to comply with any other conditions set by the courts.

In addition, the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act 2019 of Singapore (“POFMA”) counters the proliferation of online falsehoods. Under the POFMA, it is an offence to, inter alia, knowingly communicate a false statement of fact which is likely to be prejudicial to the security of Singapore or any part of Singapore. To the extent that our platforms or services transmit or allow our users to access third-party online content, we would be an internet intermediary under the POFMA. POFMA empowers any Singapore government minister to direct the POFMA Office, situated within IMDA that is responsible for the administration of POFMA, to issue certain directions to internet intermediaries whose service has been used to communicate material that contains or consists of a false statement of fact in Singapore if the minister is of the opinion that it would be in the public interest to do so. Such directions would include (a) targeted correction directions, which require the internet intermediary to communicate a correction notice on its service to all end-users in Singapore who accessed the offending false statement of fact by means of its service after a specified time; and (b) disabling directions, which require the internet intermediary to disable access by end-users in Singapore to the offending false statement of fact being communicated on or through its service. Internet intermediaries may be fined or have their access to their online location by Singapore end-users disabled if they fail to comply with directions issued under POFMA without reasonable excuse.

261

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There are also various other content regulation laws in Singapore, including:

(i)

Undesirable Publications Act 1967 (“UPA”): The UPA prevents the importation, distribution and reproduction of obscene and objectionable publications. The definition of “publication” is wide, and includes “any picture or drawing, whether made by computer-graphics or otherwise howsoever”. The UPA makes it an offence for a person to reproduce any obscene or objectionable publication knowing or having reason to believe that it is obscene or objectionable.

(ii)

Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act 2021 (“FICA”): The FICA is intended to counteract foreign interference in the public interest. Under the FICA, it would be an offence to, inter alia, undertake (or prepare or plan to undertake) “electronic communications activity” in or outside Singapore that results in or involves the publication in Singapore of any information/material on behalf of (i) a foreign principal or (ii) another person acting on the foreign principal’s behalf, where any part of the undertaking or electronic communications activity is covert or involves deception, and with knowledge or reason to believe that the electronic communications activity or the published information/material is likely to be prejudicial to the security of Singapore or any part of Singapore.

(iii)

The Online Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2022 (the “OSA”): The OSA seeks to amend the Broadcasting Act 1994 to introduce a new Part 10A, which will regulate online communication services (“OCSs”) provided to Singapore end-users and listed in a new schedule under the Broadcasting Act 1994. These regulations will apply to OCSs provided from outside Singapore as well as services provided in or from Singapore. At present, only one type of OCS is specified, namely social media services (“SMS”). An SMS is defined as an electronic service whose sole or primary purpose is to enable online interaction or linking between two or more end-users, including enabling end-users to share content for social purposes, and which allows end-users to communicate content on the service. Under the new Part 10A, (i) providers of OCSs with significant reach or impact (as designated by the IMDA) are to comply with the IMDA’s codes of practice; and (ii) if the IMDA is satisfied that any egregious content provided on an OCS can be accessed by Singapore end-users, IMDA can, among others, issue directions to the OCS provider to disable access to the egregious content by Singapore end-users, and stop the egregious content from being transmitted to Singapore end-users via other channels or accounts (though such directions cannot be issued in respect of private communications due to privacy concerns). Non-compliance with a direction by IMDA constitutes a criminal offence, punishable with a fine.

Regulations on Intellectual Property Rights

The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore administers the intellectual property legislative framework in Singapore, which includes copyrights, trademarks and patents. Singapore is a member of the main international conventions regulating intellectual property matters, and the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.

Singapore operates a first-to-file system in respect of registered trademarks under the Trade Marks Act 1988 of Singapore, and the registered proprietor is granted a statutory monopoly of the trademark in Singapore in relation to the product or service for which it is registered. In the event of any trademark infringement, the registered proprietor will be able to rely on the registered trademark as proof of his right to the mark, and the infringement of a trademark may give rise to civil and criminal liabilities. Statutory protection of a registered trademark can last indefinitely, as long as the registration is renewed every 10 years. Unregistered trademarks are also protected under the common law of passing off, provided that the owner is able to prove that there is goodwill or reputation in the mark; misrepresentation on the part of the infringer; and damage to the mark as a result.

Regulations on Competition Laws

The Competition Act 2004 of Singapore prohibits anti-competitive practices. Specific prohibited activities include agreements that prevent, restrict or distort competition, abuse of dominance and mergers that substantially lessen competition, whether these take place within or outside of Singapore, so long as they have an impact on a market in Singapore. The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (the

262

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“CCCS”) is responsible for administering and enforcing the Competition Act 2004 of Singapore, which covers all industries and sectors unless specifically exempted or excluded. Infringements of the Competition Act can result in financial penalties of up to 10 per cent. of the turnover of the business in Singapore for each year of infringement, up to a maximum of three years. The CCCS also has powers to impose directions requiring infringing undertakings to stop or modify the activity or conduct, or in the case of anti-competitive mergers, to remedy, mitigate or eliminate the adverse effects arising from the merger.

Regulations on Labor and Employment

The Employment Act 1968 of Singapore (the “Singapore Employment Act”) generally extends to all employees regardless of their designation, salary level or type of work performed, with the exception of certain groups of employees (i.e., seafarers, domestic workers and public workers). It provides employees falling within its ambit certain protections such as minimum notice periods, restrictions in relation to the deductions from wages, minimum days of annual and sick leave, maternity/paternity leave and paid childcare leave. The Singapore Employment Act also applies to employees who are foreigners so long as they fall within the definition of “employee” under the Singapore Employment Act. Employers in Singapore owe a statutory obligation under the Central Provident Fund Act 1953 of Singapore to contribute to a Central Provident Fund in relation to wages for employees who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents of Singapore. The specific contribution rate to be made by employers varies depending on whether the employee is a Singapore citizen or permanent resident and the age group and wage band of the employee.

The Employment of Foreign Manpower Act 1990 of Singapore, provides that no person shall employ a foreign employee unless the foreign employee has a valid work pass. Work passes are issued by the Controller of Work Passes. In relation to the employment of semi-skilled foreign workers in the construction, manufacturing, marine shipyard, process or services sectors, employers must ensure that such persons apply for a “Work Permit”. In relation to the employment of foreign mid-level skilled workers, such persons apply for an “S Pass”. From 1 September 2023, the minimum monthly salary requirement for “S Pass” applicants will be S$3,150, with a higher minimum qualifying salary requirement of S$3,650 for “S Pass” applicants in the financial services sector. In relation to the employment of foreign professionals, managers and executives earning a monthly fixed salary of at least S$5,000 (or S$5,500 for “Employment Pass” applicants in the financial services sector), employers must ensure that such persons apply for an “Employment Pass”. From 1 September 2023, in addition to meeting the minimum qualifying salary, “Employment Pass” applicants must also pass a points-based Complementarity Assessment Framework (“COMPASS”), with certain exceptions.

Regulations on Anti-money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing

The primary anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing legislation in Singapore that are of general application are the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act 1992 of Singapore (the “CDSA”) and Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act 2002 of Singapore (the “TSOFA”). The CDSA provides for the confiscation of benefits derived from, and to combat, corruption, drug dealing and other serious crimes. Generally, the CDSA criminalizes the concealment or transfer of the benefits of criminal conduct as well as the knowing assistance of the concealment, transfer or retention of such benefits. The CDSA permits the confiscation of benefits derived from, and to combat, corruption, drug dealing and other serious crimes. The TSOFA criminalizes terrorism financing and prohibits any person in Singapore from dealing with or providing services to a terrorist entity, including those designated pursuant to the TSOFA. The CDSA and the TSOFA also require suspicious transaction reports to be lodged with the Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office, Singapore’s Financial Intelligence Unit within the Criminal Affairs Division of the Singapore Police Force. If any person fails to lodge the requisite reports under the CDSA and the TSOFA, it may be subject to criminal liability. In addition, the TSOFA has extraterritorial reach, and any person outside Singapore who commits an act or omission that would constitute an offense under the TSOFA if committed in Singapore may be proceeded against, charged, tried and punished accordingly in Singapore.

Regulations on Data Protection

The Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore (the “Singapore PDPA”) governs the collection, use and disclosure of the personal data of individuals (being data, whether true or not, about an individual

263

TABLE OF CONTENTS

who can be identified from that data or other accessible information), and to provide individuals with the right to access and correct their own personal data. Organizations have mandatory obligations to assess data breaches they suffer, and to notify the Personal Data Protection Commission (the “PDPC”) and where applicable, the relevant individuals where the data breach is (or is likely to be) of a significant scale or resulting in (or is likely to result in) significant harm to individuals. Other obligations include accountability, protection, retention, and requirements around the overseas transfers of personal data.

Organizations are required to, among other things, (i) obtain consent from individuals and inform them of the applicable purposes before collecting, using or disclosing their personal data; and (ii) put in place reasonable measures to (a) protect the personal data in their possession or control from unauthorized access, loss or damage and (b) prevent the loss of any storage medium or device on which personal data is stored. In the event of a data breach involving any personal data in an organization’s possession or control, the Singapore PDPA requires the organization to reasonably and expeditiously assess whether the data breach is notifiable and notify the PDPC and, unless exceptions apply, the affected individuals of the data breach, if the data breach is assessed to be one that (a) is likely to result in significant harm or impact to the individuals to whom the information relates, or (b) is, or is likely to be, of a significant scale. Other obligations include accountability, retention and requirements around the overseas transfers of personal data.

In addition, Do-Not-Call (“DNC”) requirements require organizations to check “Do-Not-Call” registries prior to sending marketing messages addressed to Singapore telephone numbers, through voice calls, fax or text messages, unless clear and unambiguous consent to such marketing was obtained from the individual.

Non-compliance with the Singapore PDPA may attract financial penalties or even criminal liability. The PDPC has broad powers to give any such directions as it thinks fit to ensure compliance, which include requiring an organization to pay a financial penalty. In this connection: (i) in the case of contravention of the parts of the Singapore PDPA which sets out the obligations of organizations relating to data protection (including the obligation to protect and care for personal data, and to conduct assessments of data breaches), the maximum financial penalty that may be imposed: (a) on an organization whose annual turnover in Singapore exceeds S$10 million is 10% of the organization’s annual turnover in Singapore, if the contravention occurs on or after October 1, 2022; and (b) in any other case is S$1 million; and (ii) in the case of contravention of the DNC requirements, the maximum financial penalty that may be imposed is S$1 million.

Regulations on Foreign Investment and Exchange Control

Singapore does not have an umbrella regime for regulating foreign investment. Instead, foreign investment is regulated (if at all) by sector. Singapore imposes no significant restrictions on the repatriation of earnings and capital, or on remittances, foreign exchange transactions and capital movements.

Regulations in Malaysia

We conduct business in Malaysia through our subsidiary, Epicsoft Malaysia, which is primarily engaged in the marketing and retail distribution of video games and related products in Malaysia.

Regulations on Business Registration

A person who desires to form a company shall apply for incorporation, pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act 2016 of Malaysia (the “Malaysian Companies Act”), with the Companies Commission of Malaysia. The Local Government Act 1976 of Malaysia empowers every local authority to make, amend or revoke any by-laws in respect of the local government area, and to grant any licence or permit of any trade, occupation or premises and such licence shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the local authority may prescribe. As such, prior to the commencement of our business operations in Malaysia, we are required to apply for business premises licenses for each operating premise from the relevant local authority. We have registered our Malaysia subsidiary in accordance with the Malaysian Companies Act and have obtained the business premises license from the local authority.

264

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Regulations on Labor and Employment

Employment and industrial relations in Malaysia are mainly governed by the Employment Act 1955 of Malaysia (the “Malaysian Employment Act”). The requirements under the Malaysia Employment Act apply to all employees that enter into a contract of service regardless of wages (except that, for certain prescribed categories of employees such as employees earning more than RM4,000 per month, provisions in the Malaysia Employment Act relating to, among other things, overtime payments and termination benefits do not apply). Both employees and employers in Malaysia are required to contribute toward the Employees Provident Fund, the Employment Insurance System and the Employees Social Security Fund. The contributions are premised on the statutorily prescribed rates under the Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 of Malaysia, Employment Insurance System Act 2017 of Malaysia and Employees’ Social Security Fund Act 1969 of Malaysia.

Worker Classification

Under Malaysian law, an “employee” means a person engaged under a contract of service while an “independent contractor” means a person engaged pursuant to a contract for services. The Malaysian Employment Act defines “contract of service” as any agreement, whether oral or in writing and whether express or implied, whereby one person agrees to employ another as an employee and that other agrees to serve his or her employer as an employee and includes an apprenticeship contract. There is no single legal test to determine whether a person is engaged as an employee or an independent contractor. The degree of control exercised over the person engaged is an important factor but not the sole criteria in making a determination. The Industrial Court of Malaysia will examine all facts and circumstances and the conduct of the parties, including but not limited to the degree of control, whether there is a fixed compensation package or whether the individual undertook a business risk, exclusivity, whether any statutory contributions (such as the Employees Provident Fund) have been made and the contractual terms of the engagement in determining the status of an employee or independent contractor.

Competition Law

The competition law in Malaysia achieves this by prohibiting two categories of activities: (i) anti-competitive practices and (ii) abuse of dominant positions, and the Competition Act 2010 of Malaysia is generally enforced by the Malaysia Competition Commission (the “MyCC”), save for competition issues arising in specific sectors (such as the telecommunications sector, the aviation sector and the energy and gas supply sector which fall under the relevant applicable laws and are regulated by other regulators). The Competition Act 2010 of Malaysia applies to all commercial activities which have an effect on competition in any market in Malaysia, whether such activities are carried out within or outside Malaysia. Infringements of the Competition Act 2010 of Malaysia may result in, among other things, the imposition of a financial penalty of up to 10% of the worldwide turnover of the enterprise for the period during which the infringement occurred. The MyCC may also take other actions, including issuing cease and desist orders. Infringements of Section 61 of the Competition Act 2010 of Malaysia, may result in a fine not exceeding five million ringgit, and for a second or subsequent offence, to a fine not exceeding ten million ringgit; or (b) if such person is not a body corporate, to a fine not exceeding one million ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or to both, and for a second or subsequent offense, to a fine not exceeding two million ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or to both.

Regulations on Data Protection

The Personal Data Protection Act 2010 of Malaysia (the “Malaysia PDPA”) regulates the processing of personal data in commercial transactions in Malaysia and is enforced by the Personal Data Protection Commission. The Malaysia PDPA applies to (a) any person who processes, and (b) any person who has control over or authorizes the processing of, any personal data in respect of commercial transactions. The Malaysia PDPA also applies to a person in respect of personal data if (a) the person is established in Malaysia and personal data is processed, whether or not in the context of that establishment, by that person or any other person employed or engaged by that establishment, or (b) the person is not established in Malaysia but uses equipment in Malaysia for processing the personal data, except for the purposes of transit through Malaysia.

265

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Personal data” is statutorily defined to mean any information in respect of commercial transactions, which (a) is being processed wholly or partly by means of equipment operating automatically in response to instructions given for that purpose, (b) is recorded with the intention that it should wholly or partly be processed by means of such equipment, or (c) is recorded as part of, or with the intention that it should form a part of, a relevant filing system that relates directly or indirectly to a data subject (i.e., an individual who is the subject of the personal data) who is identified or identifiable from that information or from that and other information in the possession of a data user, including any sensitive personal data and expression of opinion about the data subject. “Personal data” does not include any information that is processed for the purpose of a credit reporting business carried on by a credit reporting agency under the Credit Reporting Agencies Act 2010 of Malaysia.

Under the Malaysia PDPA, a “data user” is a person who either alone or jointly, or in common with other persons, processes any personal data or has control over, or authorizes the processing of, any personal data but does not include a processor. The Malaysia PDPA provides that data users must adhere to the following principles with respect to the processing of personal data:

(a)

the general principle;

(b)

the notice and choice principle;

(c)

the disclosure principle;

(d)

the security principle;

(e)

the retention principle;

(f)

the data integrity principle; and

(g)

the access principle.

In general, to process or disclose personal data relating to any individuals would require (i) consent from such individuals, particularly pertaining to sensitive personal data, which may be obtained in any form that can be recorded and maintained properly by the data user; and (ii) written notice to such individuals informing such individuals amongst others, (a) personal data that is being processed by or on behalf of the data user and whether it is obligatory or voluntary for the individual to supply the personal data and, where it is obligatory for the individual to supply the personal data, the consequences that the individual may face if the individual fails to supply the personal data, (b) the purposes for which the personal data is being or is to be collected and further processed, (c) any information available to the data user as to the source of that personal data, and (d) the individual’s right to request access to and request correction of the personal data. Any person engaged in processing personal data shall take measures to protect the personal data from any loss, misuse, modification, unauthorized or accidental access or disclosure, alteration or destruction and to maintain the integrity of the personal data processed, which should not be kept longer than necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose for which it was to be processed. Violation of the Malaysia PDPA, when convicted, may result fine up to RM500,000 and/or to imprisonment or both.

Regulations on Foreign Investment

As there is no overarching FDI regime in Malaysia, foreign equity restrictions thresholds vary between every industry, depending on the applicable laws, policies, and regulations issued by the relevant governmental departments. Epicsoft Malaysia is not subject to restrictions on foreign investment.

Regulations on Exchange Control

The exchange control regime in Malaysia is regulated by the Financial Services Act 2013 of Malaysia (the “FSA”), which regulates the domestic and international transactions involving residents and non-residents of Malaysia and prescribes a list of transactions that are prohibited without approval from the Bank Negara Malaysia (the Central Bank of Malaysia) (the “BNM”). In exercise of the powers conferred by the FSA, BNM issues the Foreign Exchange Notices (the “FE Notices”) which provides the directions, requirements, restrictions, and conditions of approval in respect of the prohibited transactions.

266

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Foreign investors are generally free to repatriate proceeds, profits, dividends, rent, fees, and interest arising from any investment in Malaysia in foreign currency (except for the currency of Israel), subject to any withholding tax, in accordance with the FE Notices. The conversion of ringgit into foreign currency may be freely effected onshore with licensed banks or money-changers with certain limited exceptions.

Regulations on Anti-money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing

The Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (“AMLATFA”), makes it an offense for any person to engage in or abet the commission of money laundering and terrorist financing, and seeks, among other things, to implement measures for the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing offences. Any person who (a) engages in a transaction that involves proceeds of unlawful activity; (b) uses proceeds of unlawful activity; (c) removes from or brings into Malaysia proceeds of unlawful activity; or (d) conceals, disguises, or impedes the establishment of the true nature, origin, location, movement, disposition, title of, rights with respect to, or ownership of proceeds of unlawful activity commits a money laundering offense under the AMLATFA.

AMLATFA sets out the reporting institution under the First Schedule of the AMLATFA to comply with the further obligations of prevention of money laundering and financing terrorism, which include reporting and recordkeeping duties, such as submitting suspicious transaction reports, implementing a risk-based application, and conducting customer due diligence. Epicsoft Malaysia. is not deemed to be a reporting institution under the AMLATFA.

Regulations in Hong Kong

We conduct business in Hong Kong mainly through the following subsidiaries: (a) Epicsoft Hong Kong, which is primarily engaged in the marketing and retail distribution of video games software, game codes and other related consumer items in Hong Kong; and (b) 2Game, which is primarily engaged in the distribution of video games and related products including digital content such as console game codes. Each of our Hong Kong subsidiaries has obtained a business registration certificate under the Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310 of the Laws of Hong Kong) since incorporation and the commencement of its business operations.

Regulations Related to Business Registration

The Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310 of the Laws of Hong Kong), administered by Business Registration Office, requires every person carrying on any business to make an application to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue in the prescribed manner for the registration of that business within one month after the commencement of business. The Commissioner of Inland Revenue must register each business for which a business registration application is made and as soon as practicable after the prescribed business registration fee and levy are paid and issue a business registration certificate or branch registration certificate for the relevant business or the relevant branch, as the case may be. Any person who fails to apply for business registration shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable for a fine of HK$5,000 and imprisonment for one year. As of the date of this prospectus, each of the Hong Kong subsidiaries have obtained and maintains a valid business registration certificate.

Regulations Relating to Trade Description of Products

The Trade Descriptions Ordinance (Chapter 362 of the Laws of Hong Kong) prohibits false descriptions, false, misleading or incomplete information in respect of goods provided in the course of trade and to prohibit certain unfair trade practices. Under the Trade Descriptions Ordinance, it is an offence for a person, in the course of trade or business, to apply a false or misleading trade description to any goods or supply any goods with false or misleading trade descriptions, to forge any trademark or falsely apply any trademark to any goods, or to engage in relation to a consumer in a commercial practice that is a misleading omission, aggressive, bait advertising, a bait and switch, or constitutes wrongly accepting payment for a product.

A person who commits any such offense is subject to, on conviction on indictment, a fine of up to HK$500,000 and imprisonment for five years and, on summary conviction, a fine of HK$100,000 and imprisonment for two years.

267

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Regulations on Labor and Employment

The Employment Ordinance (Chapter 57 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “EO”) is an ordinance enacted for, among other things, the protection of the wages of employees and the regulation of the general conditions of employment and employment agencies. Under the EO, an employee is generally entitled to, among other things, notice of termination of his or her employment contract, payment in lieu of notice, maternity protection in the case of a pregnant employee, sickness allowance, statutory holidays or alternative holidays and paid annual leave.

Under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Chapter 485 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “MPFSO”), employers must participate in a Mandatory Provident Fund (the “MPF”) Scheme for employees employed under the jurisdiction of the EO. Under the MPF Scheme, generally, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the plan at 5% of the employees’ relevant income, subject to a cap of monthly relevant income of HK$30,000.

Employers are also required to maintain a policy of insurance issued by an insurer for an amount not less than the applicable amount stated in the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance (Chapter 282 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “ECO”) in respect of work-related injuries. According to the ECO, the insured amount shall be not less than HK$100,000,000 per event if a company has no more than 200 employees.

Regulations Related to Anti-competition

The Competition Ordinance (Chapter 619 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (i) prohibits conduct that prevents, restricts or distorts competition in Hong Kong; (ii) prohibits mergers that substantially lessen competition in Hong Kong; and (iii) provides for incidental and connected matter.

The first conduct rule prohibits anti-competitive agreements, practices and decisions. It provides that an undertaking must not (i) make or give effect to an agreement; (ii) engage in a concerted practice; or (iii) as a member of an association of undertakings, make or give effect to a decision of the association, if the object or effect of the agreement, concerted practice or decision is to prevent, restrict or distort competition in Hong Kong. Serious anti-competitive conduct includes (i) fixing, maintaining, increasing or controlling the price for the supply of goods or services; (ii) allocating sales, territories, customers or markets for the production or supply of goods or services; (iii) fixing, maintaining, controlling, preventing, limiting or eliminating the production or supply of goods or services; and (iv) bid-rigging.

The second conduct rule prohibits the abuse of market power. It provides that an undertaking that has a substantial degree of market power in a market must not abuse such power by engaging in conduct that has as its object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition in Hong Kong. This conduct may in particular, constitute an abuse of such market power if it involves predatory behavior towards competitors or limiting production, markets or technical development to the prejudice of consumers. Matters that may be taken into consideration when determining whether an undertaking has a substantial degree of market power in a market include (i) the market share of the undertaking; (ii) the undertaking’s power to make pricing and other decisions; and (iii) any barriers to entry to competitors into the relevant market.

The first conduct rule and the second conduct rule apply to all sectors of the Hong Kong economy. Therefore, the Hong Kong subsidiaries’ business is subject to Competition Ordinance generally.

In the event of contravention of a competition rule, the Competition Tribunal may (i) on application by the Competition Commission, impose pecuniary penalty of any amount it considers appropriate subject to a maximum of 10% of the turnover of the undertaking concerned for each year in which the contravention occurred for each single contravention (if the contravention occurred in more than three years, 10% of the turnover of the undertaking for the three years that saw the highest, second highest and third highest turnover); (ii) on application by the Competition Commission, make an order disqualifying a person from being a director of a company or from otherwise being concerned in the affairs of a company; and (iii) make orders it considers appropriate, including but not limited to prohibiting an entity from making or giving effect to an agreement, requiring modification or termination of an agreement, requiring payment of damages to a person who has suffered loss or damage as a result of the contravention.

Regulations Related to Data Privacy

The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Chapter 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“PDPO”), imposes a statutory duty on data users to comply with the requirements of the six data protection principles contained in Schedule 1 to the PDPO. The PDPO provides that a data user shall not do an act, or engage in a practice, that contravenes the six data protection principles unless the act or practice, as the case may be, is required or permitted under the PDPO. The six data protection principles are:

(a) Principle 1 — purpose and manner of collection of personal data;

(b) Principle 2 — accuracy and duration of retention of personal data;

(d) Principle 4 — security of personal data;

(e) Principle 5 — information to be generally available; and

(f) Principle 6 — access to personal data.

Non-compliance with a data protection principle may lead to a complaint to the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (the “Privacy Commissioner”). The Privacy Commissioner may serve an enforcement notice to direct the data user to remedy the contravention and/ or instigate prosecution actions. A data user who contravenes an enforcement notice commits an offense which may lead to a fine and imprisonment.

The PDPO also gives data subjects certain rights, inter alia:

(i)

the right to be informed by a data user whether the data user holds personal data of which the individual is the data subject;

(ii)

if the data user holds such data, to be supplied with a copy of such data; and

(iii)

the right to request correction of any data they consider to be inaccurate.

The PDPO criminalizes certain uses, including, but not limited to, the misuse or inappropriate use of personal data in direct marketing activities, non-compliance with a data access request and the unauthorized disclosure of personal data obtained without the relevant data user’s consent. An individual who suffers damage, including injured feelings, by reason of a contravention of the PDPO in relation to his or her personal data may seek compensation from the data user concerned.

Regulations on Foreign Investment, Exchange Control and Dividend Distribution

There are no restrictions on foreign investments or foreign ownership applicable to the businesses currently conducted by our Hong Kong subsidiaries. There are also no foreign exchange controls currently in force in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong dollar is freely convertible into other currencies. Our Hong Kong subsidiaries are not restricted in their ability to pay dividends.

Regulations Related to Hong Kong Taxation

Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong), where an employer commences to employ in Hong Kong an individual who is or is likely to be chargeable to tax, or any married person, the employer shall give a written notice to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue not later than three months after the date of commencement of such employment. Where an employer ceases or is about to cease to employ in Hong Kong an individual who is or is likely to be chargeable to tax, or any married person, the employer shall give a written notice to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue not later than one month before such individual ceases to be employed in Hong Kong.

Withholding Tax on Dividends

Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no withholding tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by the Hong Kong subsidiaries in Hong Kong.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital Gains and Profit Tax

The Inland Revenue Ordinance provides, among other things, that profits tax shall be charged on every person carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong in respect of his or her assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong at the standard rate at 16.5%, except for the qualifying group entity under the two-tiered profits tax regime. The two-tiered profits tax regime is applicable to years of assessment commencing on or after April 1, 2018, for which the first HK$2,000,000 of assessable profits are taxed at the rate of 8.25% and the remaining assessable profits are taxed at 16.5%. The Inland Revenue Ordinance also contains detailed provisions relating to, among other things, permissible deductions for outgoings and expenses, set-offs for losses and allowances for depreciation of capital assets.

No tax is imposed in Hong Kong in respect of capital gains from the sale of shares. However, trading gains from the sale of shares by persons carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong, where such gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong, will be subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Certain categories of taxpayers (for example, financial institutions, insurance companies and securities dealers) are likely to be regarded as deriving trading gains rather than capital gains, unless these taxpayers can prove that the investment securities are held for long-term investment purposes.

Under the Stamp Duty Ordinance (Chapter 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong), the Hong Kong stamp duty currently charged at the ad valorem rate of 0.1% on the higher of the consideration for or the market value of the shares, will be payable by the purchaser on every purchase and by the seller on every sale of Hong Kong shares (in other words, a total of 0.2% is currently payable on a typical sale and purchase transaction of Hong Kong shares). In addition, a fixed duty of HK$5 is currently payable on any instrument of transfer of Hong Kong shares. Where one of the parties is a resident outside Hong Kong and does not pay the ad valorem duty due by it, the duty not paid will be assessed on the instrument of transfer (if any) and will be payable by the transferee. If no stamp duty is paid on or before the due date, a penalty of up to ten times the duty payable may be imposed.

Regulations on Anti-money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing

The Anti-money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Chapter 615 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “AMLO”) imposes requirements relating to client due diligence and record-keeping and provides regulatory authorities with the powers to supervise compliance with the requirements under the AMLO. In addition, the regulatory authorities are empowered to (i) ensure that proper safeguards exist to prevent contravention of specified provisions in the AMLO; and (ii) mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks. Our Hong Kong subsidiaries are not subject to these requirements.

Among other things, the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance (Chapter 455 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “OSCO”) empowers officers of the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Customs & Excise Department to investigate organized crime and triad activities, and confers jurisdiction on the Hong Kong courts to confiscate the proceeds of organized and serious crimes and to issue restraint orders and charging orders in relation to the property of defendants of specified offenses under the OSCO. The OSCO extends the money laundering offense to cover the proceeds from all indictable offenses.

Among other things, the UN United Nations (Anti-terrorism Measures) Ordinance (Chapter 575 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “UNATMO”) stipulates that it is a criminal offense to (i) provide or collect property (by any means, directly or indirectly) with the intention to, or knowledge that the property will be used to, commit, in whole or in part, one or more terrorist acts; or (ii) make any property or financial (or related) services available, by any means, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of a person knowing that, or being reckless as to whether, such person is a terrorist or terrorist associate, or collect property or solicit financial (or related) services, by any means, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of a person knowing that, or being reckless as to whether, the person is a terrorist or terrorist associate. The UNATMO also requires a person to disclose his knowledge or suspicion of terrorist property to an authorized officer, and failure to make such disclosure constitutes an offense under the UNATMO.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of RF Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of RF Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company that was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses on or before April 28, 2024, or by making certain extension deposits into the Company’s Trust Account, extend the business combination deadline by an additional five months through September 28, 2024. The Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with a business combination target on October 18, 2023; however, the completion of this transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders among other conditions. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary approvals, satisfy the required closing conditions, raise the additional capital it needs to fund its operations, and complete the transaction prior to September 28, 2024, if at all. The Company also has no approved plan in place to extend the business combination deadline and fund operations for any period of time after September 24, 2024, in the event that it is unable to complete a business combination by that date. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS, AND GOING CONCERN

RF Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on January 11, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search for an initial business combination on companies that are within the financial services, media, technology, retail, interpersonal communication, transportation, and education sectors. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activities for the period from January 11, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2023, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“the Initial Public Offering”) which is described below. 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 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 Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 23, 2022. On March 28, 2022, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated (i) the sale of 4,050,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to RF Dynamic LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $4,050,000, which is described in Note 4, and (ii) the sale of 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to EBC, generating gross proceeds of $500,000.

On March 30, 2022, the underwriter exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 1,500,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $15,000,000. In connection with the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also completed the private sale of an aggregate of (i) 400,500 Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s Sponsor, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $400,500, and (ii) 49,500 Private Placement Warrants to EBC, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $49,500.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 28, 2022 and the exercise of the over-allotment option on March 30, 2022, an amount of $116,150,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting the certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. In February of 2023 the Company’s trust balance was moved to an interest-bearing bank deposit account.

On March 24, 2023, a special meeting was held where the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal (the “Extension Amendment” or “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from March 28, 2023 to December 28, 2023, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months after

March 28, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $300,000 or (ii) $0.12 for each share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) $0.04 for each share of Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, until December 28, 2023 in exchange for a noninterest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. In connection therewith the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 7,391,973 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.29. On April 3, 2023, a total of $76,054,240 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company had a total of 4,108,027 shares of Class A common stock outstanding.

On June 26, 2023, the Company’s board of directors unanimously consented to the conversion of the Company’s shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for one basis. On June 26, 2023, RF Dynamic LLC, the sole holder of Class B common stock, also consented to the conversion of the Company’s Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. On July 7, 2023, the Company instructed its transfer agent to initiate the conversion of the shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock. An aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share was converted into 2,875,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001. Following, the Company had a total of 3,075,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding.

Additionally, on December 20, 2023, the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,363,378 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.72. On December 26, 2023, a total of $14,619,421 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company had a total of 2,744,649 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Furthermore, on December 20, 2023, the stockholders approved a second extension which updated the “Revised Extension Deadline” from December 28, 2023 to September 28, 2024, which is comprised of an initial three month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three (3) month extension, the lesser of (i) $225,000 or (ii) $0.09 for each Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the extension, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $75,000 or (ii) $0.03 for each Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the extension until September 28, 2024 in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a 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 (as defined below) (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of certain advisory fees payable to EBC) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

The Company will provide the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares (as defined below) upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.10 per Public Share).

F-10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the Company seeks stockholder approval, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal 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. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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 holders of the Founder Shares (as defined below) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre- initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the extended deadline of September 28, 2024 (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 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 taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.10. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 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 $10.10 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the

F-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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, prospective target businesses or 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.

Going Concern and Liquidity

At December 31, 2023, the Company had $188,235 of cash and negative working capital of $4,869,537, respectively.

The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 28, 2022 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the Founder Shares to cover certain offering costs. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has since competed its Initial Public Offering at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes.

On March 27, 2023, the Company deposited $300,000 into the trust account in order to effect the first extension of the Revised Extension Deadline, which extended the deadline to consummate the Business Combination by an initial three months. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company has from March 28, 2023 to December 28, 2023 to consummate the Business Combination. This extension period is comprised of an initial three month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three (3) month extension, the lesser of (i) $300,000 or (ii) $0.12 for each Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the extension, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) $0.04 for each Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the extension until December 28, 2023 in exchange for a non- interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a Business Combination. The Company deposited $600,000 into the Trust Account, June 2023 though December 2023, in order to effect six subsequent one month extensions of the Revised Extension Deadline, which extended the deadline to consummate the Business Combination to December 28, 2023.

On December 20, 2023, the stockholders approved the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal” in which extended the “Revised Extension Deadline” from December 28, 2023 to September 28, 2024, which is comprised of an initial three month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three (3) month extension, the lesser of (i) $225,000 or (ii) $0.09 for each Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the extension, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $75,000 or (ii) $0.03 for each Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the extension until September 28, 2024 in exchange for a non- interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a Business Combination.

Our ability to consummate any business combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Company does not consummate a business combination by September 28, 2024, the Company may seek additional stockholder approval to further extend the deadline to consummate a business combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.”, the Company has until September 28, 2024 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by the specified period. If a Business Combination is not consummated by September 28, 2024, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

The Company’s evaluation of its working capital, along with the liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

On March 24, 2023, a special meeting was held where the Company approved the Extension Amendment, extending the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination. In connection the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 7,391,973 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.29. On April 3, 2023, a total of $76,054,240 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company recorded $760,542 of excise tax payable related to the redemption. Additionally, on December 20, 2023, the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,363,378 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.72. On December 26, 2023, a total of $14,619,421 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company recorded $146,194 of excise tax payable related to the redemption. Furthermore, following the redemption, the Company had a total of 2,744,649 shares of Class A common stock outstanding.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2023, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

NOTE 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC).

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. 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 financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. In addition, inflation has been increasing in recent periods and is expected to continue to be volatile in the future. Our investment portfolio may experience the risk of realized losses on our short-term investments if we were to sell before maturity due to the market volatility caused by increased interest rates. At December 31, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. US 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 consist of:

F-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

•

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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 had $188,235 and $19,759 cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Investments Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in trust consisted solely of U.S. government securities through March 2023, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these investments are included in income earned on investments in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. In February of 2023 the Company’s trust balance was moved to an interest-bearing bank deposit account due to receiving a slightly higher interest rate from Citi. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $29,718,024 and $117,724,476 in the trust account respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 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 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.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consists of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering cost amounted to $3,803,330 which was charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting

F-15

for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company has identified the United States as its only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature 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, Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Class A common stock is subject to possible redemption and is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

At December 31, 2023, the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

Net Income (Loss) Per Share Common Share

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Consistent with FASB 480, common shares subject to possible redemption, as well as their pro rata share of undistributed trust earnings consistent with the two-class method, have been included in the calculation of income (loss) per common share for the twelve ended December 31, 2023 and December, 2022. Such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings. Diluted income (loss) per share includes the incremental number of common shares to be issued to settle warrants and rights, as calculated using the treasury method. For the twelve ended December 31, 2023 and December, 2022 the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, rights, securities or other contracts that could potentially, be exercised or converted into common shares. As a result, diluted income (loss) per common share is the same as basic income (loss) per common share for all periods presented. Potentially diluted Class B shares subject to forfeiture upon the underwriter’s non exercise of the over-allotment option were excluded from the calculation for the period up until March 30, 2022 when the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option and those 375,000 shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except share amounts) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022:

	For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023						For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Warrants and Rights

TABLE OF CONTENTS

guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants and rights are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants and rights meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants and rights are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant and rights 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, is conducted at the time of warrant and rights issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants and rights are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants and rights that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants and rights are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants and rights that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants and rights are required to be treated as liabilities, and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants and rights are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

The equity-linked warrants, both Public and Private warrants, and rights are considered freestanding and outside the scope of ASC 480 as they are not mandatorily redeemable, are exchanged on a fixed 1:1 ratio and do not obligate the Company to repurchase equity shares. The Company concluded that the warrants and rights are equity classified under ASC 815 as the warrants and rights are indexed in the Company’s Class A common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 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) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. 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 evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.

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 financial statements.

NOTE 3.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering and the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, one right to receive one- tenth (1/10) of one share of Class A common stock, and one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 4.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

private warrants by the Sponsor and 500,000 private warrants by EBC), generating total proceeds of $4,550,000 to the Company. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

In connection with the underwriter’s election to exercise their over-allotment option on March 30, 2022, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of (i) 400,500 Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s Sponsor, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $400,500, and (ii) 49,500 Private Placement Warrants to EBC, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $49,500. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On January 21, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor in exchange for cash of $25,000. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s overallotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On March 30, 2022, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full.

As a result of the underwriter’s election to exercise their over-allotment option on March 30, 2022, 375,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture as of December 31, 2022.

The Sponsor has agreed not to, except to permitted transferees, transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 120 days after the Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the date of the Initial Public Offering and until completion of the Company’s initial business combination or liquidation, the Company will make a payment of a monthly fee of $10,000 to the Sponsor for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to the Company. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 $120,000 and $90,000 had been incurred and unpaid, respectively.

Related Party Loans and Reimbursements

Other than the payment of customary fees the Company may elect to make to members of its board of directors for director service, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the Company to the Sponsor or the Company’s executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor or the Company’s officers, directors or their affiliates.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required on a non-interest basis (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts. If a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from its Trust account would be used for such repayment.

Due to Sponsor

The Sponsor has paid expenses on behalf of the Company prior to the Company’s Initial Public Offering and for working capital expenses. This amount is not interest bearing and due on demand by the Sponsor. As of December 31, 2023, $1,392,629 was due to Sponsor, of which $120,000 relates to office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided by the Sponsor. As of December 31, 2022, $476,179 was due to Sponsor.

Promissory Note — Related Party

The sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 in the aggregate, to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Initial Public Offering. The loans will be non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of September 30, 2022 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company has not drawn down on the promissory note.

On March 24, 2023, the Company and Sponsor entered into a promissory note pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company the principal sum of $900,000 to cover the extension payments in connection with the Revised Extension Deadline (the “Extension #1”). Furthermore, on December 26, 2023, the Company and Sponsor entered into a promissory pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company the principal sum of $675,000 to cover the extension payments in connection with the Revised Extension Deadline (the “Extension #2”). The promissory note was non-interest bearing and is payable on the earlier of (1) September 28, 2024, or (ii) the consummation of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has not drawn down on the promissory note.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans.

COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

Registration and Stockholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over- allotments, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

On March 30, 2022, the underwriter exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. The total underwriting fee paid to the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering was $2,300,000.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

On March 23, 2022, the Company engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities in connection with a Business Combination, assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of Initial Public Offering.

Additionally, the Company will pay EBC a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the proposed Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with which the Company completes a Business Combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 90 days from the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, unless the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the Initial Public Offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110.

EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. Founder Shares (“EBC Founder Shares”)

On April 12, 2021 the Company issued to EBC and or designees an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $0.0001 per share for a total consideration of $20. The Company accounts for the fair value of the EBC Founder shares over consideration paid as offering cost of the Initial Public Offering, with a corresponding credit to stockholder’s equity.

The Company estimated the fair value of the EBC Founder Shares to be $519,415 and is recorded as an offering cost with a corresponding increase in stockholder’s equity. The Company established the initial fair value of the EBC Founder Shares on April 12, 2021, using a probability weighted model for the EBC Founder Shares. The EBC Founder Shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs including the probability of a business combination, the probability of the initial public offering, and other risk factors.

EBC (and/or its designees) has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without the Company’s prior written consent until the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, EBC

F-21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(and/or its designees) has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share, except that, prior to the completion of a Business Combination, only holders of the Company’s Class B common stock have the right to vote on the election of directors. On January 21, 2021, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock to the Sponsor, including an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares of Class B common stock that are subject to forfeiture, to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the private placement warrants and the EBC founder shares). On March 30, 2022, the underwriter exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. As a result, the Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 there were 0 and 2,875,000 Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

The Class B common stock will convert into Class A common stock (i) at any time, from time to time, at the option of the holder, and (ii) automatically at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders and excluding the private placement warrants and the EBC founder shares), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock 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 covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

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

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

at any time after the warrants become exercisable,

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at any time after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders; and

•

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying such warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

CLASS A COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION

The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, 2,744,649 and 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet.

NOTE 9.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for 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:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Assets:
Investments held in Trust Account		1		$	29,718,024		$	117,724,476

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels for the period ending December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Level 1 instruments include the Investments held in the Trust Account. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

common stock held by him, her or it in connection with the initial business combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional Class A common stock upon consummation of an initial business combination. The Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of ours).

We will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Public Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporations Law, and any rounding down and extinguishment may be done with or without any in lieu cash payment or other compensation being made to the holder of the relevant Public Rights. As a result, you must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of your rights upon closing of a business combination.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period and we liquidate the funds held in the trust account, holders of Public Rights will not receive any of such funds for their Public Rights and the Public Rights will expire worthless.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no U.S. federal operating loss carryovers.

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the period ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the change in the valuation allowance was $240,110 and $180,281, respectively.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except for the following.

The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Transaction costs amounted to $3,803,330, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting fees and $1,503,330 of other offering costs. In addition, on September 30, 2024, cash of $18,452 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In February of 2023 the Company’s trust balance was moved to an interest — bearing bank deposit account due to receiving a slightly higher interest rate from Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank” or “Citi”). At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $17,693,877 and $29,718,024 in the trust account respectively. On March 24, 2023, a special meeting was held where the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal (the “Extension Amendment” or “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from March 28, 2023 to December 28, 2023, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months after March 28, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $300,000 or (ii) $0.12 for each share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) $0.04 for each share of Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, until December 28, 2023 in exchange for a noninterest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. In connection therewith the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 7,391,973 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.29. On April 3, 2023, a total of $76,054,240 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company had a total of 4,108,027 shares of Class A common stock outstanding.

Additionally, on June 26, 2023, the Company’s board of directors unanimously consented to the conversion of the Company’s shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for one basis. On June 26, 2023, RF Dynamic LLC, the sole holder of Class B common stock, also consented to the conversion of the Company’s Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. On July 7, 2023, the Company instructed its transfer agent to initiate the conversion of the shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock. An aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share was converted into 2,875,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001.

On October 18, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of December 1, 2023, the Second Amendment, dated as of December 15, 2023, and the Third Amendment, dated as of January 31, 2024, the “Merger Agreement”) with GCL Global Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, Grand Centrex Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company, GCL Global Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, RF Dynamic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

On December 20, 2023, a special meeting was held where the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from December 28, 2023 to September 28, 2024, composed of an initial three-month extension and six subsequent one-month extensions, for a total of up to nine months after December 28, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account (A) for the initial three-month extension, the lesser of (i) $225,000 or (ii) $0.09 for each share of the Company’s Class A common stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, and (B) for each of the six subsequent one-month extensions, the lesser of (i) $75,000 or (ii) $0.03 for each share of Class A common stock not redeemed in connection with the proposal, until September 28, 2024 in exchange for a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination, and (ii) a proposal to remove the net tangible asset requirement in order to expand the methods that the Company may employ so as to not become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. At the special meeting the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,363,378 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.72. On December 26, 2023, a total of $14,619,421 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company had a total of 5,819,649 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. On December 26, 2023, the Company and Sponsor entered into a promissory note pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company the principal sum of $675,000 to cover the extension payments in connection with the updated Revised Extension Deadline (the “BC Extension Note”). The promissory note was non-interest bearing and is payable on the earlier of (1) September 28, 2024, or (ii) the consummation of the

Business Combination. Also on December 27, 2023, the Company deposited into the Trust Account $225,000 received from the Sponsor for the initial three-month extension. Subsequently on March 25, 2024, April 25, 2024, May 24, 2024, June 25, 2024, July 24, 2024, and August 23, 2024 an amount of $75,000 was made on each day from GCL Global Holdings Ltd (“GCL”) for the purposes of extending the business combination deadline. These payments from GCL are made per the terms of the Merger Agreement (see Note 5). On September 23, 2024, another special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) was held where the Company’s stockholders approved the proposal (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to amend the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from September 28, 2024 to March 28, 2025, composed of six monthly extensions after September 28, 2024, by depositing into the Trust Account for each of the six monthly extensions, $0.03 for each share of Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, until March 28, 2025 in exchange for a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. Also at the Special Meeting, stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Stockholders properly elected to redeem an aggregate of 1,170,280 Class A common stock at a redemption price of approximately $11.23 per share. On September 25, 2024, a total of $13,136,586 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company had a total of 4,649,369 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. On September 30, 2024, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into that certain Fourth Amendment to Merger Agreement (as clarified on October 15, 2024) pursuant to which the parties have agreed to, among other things, extend the deadline for the parties to complete the Business Combination (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to March 28, 2025. GCL Global also agreed to pay for up to six (6) months of extension fees starting September 28, 2024 and other third-party vendor expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Business Combination, for an aggregate of up to $500,000 (the “Amendment Expenses”), subject to a dollar-for-dollar reduction to the Maximum Allowable SPAC Transaction Expenses (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) and reimbursement by the Sponsor in the event that the Amendment Expenses paid exceeds five percent (5%) of the total amount of Transaction Financing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (not including the balance of the Trust Account) the Company has received from the Sponsor, its affiliate, or any party introduced by the Sponsor to the Company that was not already known to the Company (see Note 11).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the Company seeks stockholder approval, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. As of December 20, 2023, the Company is no longer required to maintain a net tangible asset balance of at least $5,000,000. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal 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. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

The holders of the Founder Shares (as defined below) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the extended deadline of March 28, 2025 (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 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 taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 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 $10.10 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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, prospective target businesses or 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.

Going Concern and Liquidity

At September 30, 2024, the Company had $18,452 of cash and negative working capital of $6,658,097.

The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 28, 2022 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the Founder Shares to cover certain offering costs. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5). As of September 30, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Our ability to consummate any business combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Company does not consummate a business combination by December 28, 2024, the Company may further extend the deadline to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis up to March 28, 2025 (by depositing monthly extensions into the Trust Account in the amount of $.03 for each share of Class A common stock not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal).

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations, the Company is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by the specified period. If a Business Combination is not consummated by March 28, 2025, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

The Company’s evaluation of its working capital, along with, the liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 25, 2024.

Emerging Growth Company

Concentration of Credit and Inflation Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. In addition, inflation has been increasing in recent periods and is expected to continue to be volatile in the future. Our investment portfolio may experience the risk of realized losses on our short-term investments if we were to sell before maturity due to the market volatility caused by increased interest rates. At September 30, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

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 had $18,452 and $188,235 cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Cash Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in trust consisted solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account were classified as trading securities. Trading securities were presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these investments are included in income earned on investments in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information In February of 2023 the Company’s trust balance was moved to an interest-bearing bank deposit account due to receiving a slightly higher interest rate from Citi. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $17,693,877 and $29,718,024 in the trust account respectively.

Income Taxes

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024. 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. The Company’s effective income tax rate was (17.01)% and (63.82)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively and 85.83% and 122.27% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to transaction costs incurred after the bright-line date and the valuation allowance on the company’s organizational costs.

While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through September 30, 2024.

Excise Taxes

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2023, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE”

or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.

One June 28, 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the Excise Tax. Pursuant to those regulations, the Company would need to file a return and remit payment for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 on or before October 31, 2024. Additionally, the Company will need to remit payment and file a return for the liability incurred between January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 on or before October 31, 2025.

The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to payment of this obligation. If the Company is unable to pay its obligation in full, it will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full.

On March 24, 2023, a special meeting was held where the Company approved the Extension Amendment, extending the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination. In connection the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 7,391,973 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.29. On April 3, 2023, a total of $76,054,240 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company recorded $760,542 of excise tax expense and excise tax payable related to the redemption. On December 20, 2023, the stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Holders of 1,363,378 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redemption at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.72. On December 26, 2023, a total of $14,619,421 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company recorded $146,194 of excise tax expense and excise tax payable related to the redemption.

On September 23, 2024, a special meeting was held where the Company’s stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from September 28, 2024 to March 28, 2025, composed of six monthly extensions after September 28, 2024, by depositing into the Trust Account for each of the six monthly extensions, $0.03 for each share of Class A Common Stock not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, until March 28, 2025 in exchange for a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. Also at the Special Meeting, stockholders of record were provided the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights. Stockholders properly elected to redeem an aggregate of 1,170,280 Class A common stock at a redemption price of approximately $11.23 per share. On September 25, 2024, a total of $13,136,586 in redemption payments were made in connection with this redemption. Following the redemption, the Company recorded $131,366 of excise tax expense and excise tax payable related to the redemption. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total excise tax payable was $1,038,102 and $906,736, respectively.

Net Income Per Share Common Share

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Consistent with FASB 480, common shares subject to possible redemption, as well as their pro rata share of undistributed trust earnings consistent with the two-class method, have been included in the calculation of income (loss) per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. Such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings. Diluted income (loss) per share includes the incremental number of common shares to be issued to settle warrants and rights, as calculated using the treasury method. For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, rights, securities or other contracts that could potentially, be exercised or converted into common shares. As a result, diluted income (loss) per common share is the same as basic income (loss) per common share for all periods presented. Potentially diluted Class B shares subject to forfeiture upon the underwriter’s non exercise of the over-allotment option were excluded from the calculation for the period up until March 30, 2022 when the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option and those 375,000 shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Warrants and Rights

The Company accounts for warrants and rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants and rights specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants and rights are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants and rights meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants and rights are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant and rights 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, is conducted at the time of warrant and rights issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants and rights are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants and rights that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants and rights are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants and rights that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants and rights are required to be treated as liabilities and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants and rights are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

warrants and rights are equity classified under ASC 815 as the warrants and rights are indexed in the Company’s Class A common stock.

Accounting Standards Recently Implemented

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) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for 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:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

	Level		September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Assets:
Cash held in Trust Account		1		$	17,693,877		$	29,718,024

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 and the period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.

Level 1 instruments include the Cash held in the Trust Account. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

NOTE 10.

RIGHTS

Each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A common stock upon consummation of our initial business combination, even if the holder of a Public Right redeemed all Class A common stock held by him, her or it in connection with the initial business combination. No additional

On October 1, 2024 and October 28, 2024, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to Merger Agreement, GCL paid $47,231, respectively, in extension fees in connection with the Business Combination.

On October 15, 2024 the Company filed an amendment to the Extension Amendment Proposal through a Form 8-K clarifying that a non-interest-bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon the consummation of the business combination will not be issued in exchange for the six extension payments from GCL as initially noted in the Fourth Amendment to Merger Agreement pursuant to which the parties have agreed to, among other things, extend the deadline for the parties to complete the Business Combination (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to March 28, 2025.

On October 30, 2024, the Company was informed by Nasdaq that it had not regained compliance within the allowed period with regard to the 400 total required shareholders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market per the noticed received on April 29, 2024.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of GCL Global Holdings Ltd

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of GCL Global Holdings Ltd (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2024, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from October 12, 2023 (inception) through March 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 12, 2023 (inception) through March 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GCL GLOBGAL HOLDINGS LTD

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in U.S. Dollars, except for number of shares)

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Business

GCL GLOBAL HOLDINGS LTD (the “Company” or “PubCo”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares on October 12, 2023. The Company was formed solely for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2023 (as may be further amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The parties to the Merger Agreement include PubCo, Grand Centrex Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“GCL BVI”), GCL Global Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“GCL Global”), RF Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“RFAC”), and RF Dynamic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PubCo will form two wholly-owned subsidiaries for the purpose of participating in the contemplated transactions: (i) a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Merger Sub 1”), and (ii)a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 2”). The transactions will occur in two steps: (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into GCL Global, with GCL Global surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”); and (ii) following the Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into RFAC, with RFAC surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “SPAC Merger”). Together, the Initial Merger, the SPAC Merger, and the other transactions and agreements contemplated by the Merger Agreement constitute the “Business Combination.”

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, both GCL Global and RFAC will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of PubCo.

Following the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company will be the surviving publicly traded corporation, and will own all of the equity interests of GCL Global and RFAC. However, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to numerous conditions, and there can be no assurances that such conditions will be satisfied.

NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations. The Company incurred net losses of $4,619 for the period from October 12, 2023 (inception) through March 31, 2024, with a working capital deficit of $4,619 as of March 31, 2024. The Company’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Company will be able to reduce or eliminate its net losses for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination as discussed in Note 1. The Company’s financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments relating to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have been consistently applied.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include lease classification and liabilities, right-of-use assets, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts, reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, estimates of impairment

of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, other provisions and contingencies, contingent consideration for acquisition, and estimated fair value used in business acquisitions. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss.

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. The Company’s subsidiaries in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia conduct their businesses and maintain their books and records in US$, or local currencies of Singapore Dollars (“SGD”), Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), and Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), as their respective functional currencies.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the statements of change in shareholders’ equity. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods. Therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Exchange rate presented below were quoted by the federal reserve of the United States.

Translation of foreign currencies into US$ 1 have been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

	As of March 31, 2024		As of March 31, 2023
Period-end SGD: US$1 exchange rate		1.3475		1.3294
Period-end HKD: US$1 exchange rate		7.8259		7.8499
Period-end MYR: US$1 exchange rate		4.7225		4.413
Period-average SGD: US$1 exchange rate		1.3447		1.3739
Period-average HKD: US$1 exchange rate		7.8246		7.8389
Period-average MYR: US$1 exchange rate		4.6409		4.4467

Business Combination

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair value of the assets transferred to the sellers and liabilities incurred by the Company and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss.

Non-controlling interests

For the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries, a non-controlling interest is recognized to reflect portion of equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The cumulative results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests are also recorded as non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss. Cash flows related to transactions with non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Segment reporting

The chief executive officer is identified as the Company’s chief operating decision-maker who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by different revenues streams for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Based on qualitative and quantitative criteria established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting”, the Company considers itself to be operating within four operating and three reportable segments as set forth in Note 18.

Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash

Cash is carried at cost and represents cash on hand, time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist of funds received from customers, which were held at the third-party platform’s account, and which are unrestricted and immediately available for withdrawal and use.

Restricted cash consists of fixed deposits being held as collateral to secure the banking facilities. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had deposit amounted to $1,656,678 and $1,288,561, respectively, held in the bank as collateral to secure the banking facilities which the Company signed with HSBC Bank and Citibank (referred to Note 10).

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for credit losses and do not bear interest. Customers who owed accounts receivables, are granted credit terms based on their credit metrics. The Company adopted ASU No.2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”) on its accounts receivable using the modified retrospective approach, starting from April 1, 2021 and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to accounts receivable, and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance is classified as “general and administrative” in the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist, primarily based on similar business line, service or product offerings and on an individual basis when the Company identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Under the new accounting guidance, the Company measures credit losses on

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

its accounts receivable using the current expected credit loss model under ASC 326. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided allowance for credit loss of $325,457 and $55,533, respectively.

Inventories, net

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Weighted average method is the inventory valuation method applied to these inventories. Inventories mainly include physical console game compact disc, gaming hardware and accessories which are purchased from the Company’s suppliers as merchandized goods. Inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written down to net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, $468,941and $288,604 of inventories write-down were recorded, respectively.

Other receivables and other current assets, net

Other receivables primarily include receivables from the marketing expense related in promoting console game that the Company paid on behalf of vendors, and refundable deposit such as rental deposit. Starting from April 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASC Topic 326 on its other receivables using the modified retrospective approach. The new credit loss guidance replaces the old model for measuring the allowance for credit losses with a model that is based on the expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new accounting guidance, the Company measures credit losses on its other receivables using the current expected credit loss model under ASC 326. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided allowance for credit loss of $52,949 and $3,747, respectively.

Prepayments, net

Prepayments are mainly cash deposited or advanced to suppliers for future inventory purchases. These amounts are refundable if the purchases are not completed and bear no interest. For any prepayments determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts of inventories, services, or refundable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management regularly reviews the aging of such balances and changes in payment and realization trends and records allowances when management believes collection or realization of amounts due are at risk. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance after management has determined that the likelihood of completion or collection is not probable. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided allowance related to prepayment of $209,412 and $51,755, respectively.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with no residual value. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

			Expected useful lives
Office equipment			3 years
Furniture & fitting			3 years
Office and warehouse renovation			Shorter of the lease term or 3 years

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets (Console Game Codes)

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consisted of the console game codes. The console game codes represent sequences of code providing users with access to specific video games. Acquired from vendors in batches, their primary purpose is for resale. Each console game code grants single access right to the user and is individually identified at cost upon purchase from its vendor.

Each console game code is defined as an intangible asset, due to its lack of physical form. The useful life of an intangible asset should be considered indefinite if no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit its useful life to the reporting entity in accordance with ASC 350-30-35-4. Consequently, each console game code is recorded at cost on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and is not subject to amortization. Instead, the cost of each game code will be transferred to cost of goods sold upon the sale of each individual code. Additionally, the remaining balance of the console game codes will continue to generate cash flows from sales activities until the last code is sold, with the total balance and the number of consol game codes decreasing as individual codes are sold.

If the fair market value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is determined to be lower than its carrying value at any point during the reporting period, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. For the years ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, impairment losses of $500,684 and nil, respectively, were recorded against indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Definite-lived intangible assets

Definite-lived intangible assets consisted primarily of customer relationships, trademark and license. The estimated useful life and amortization methodology of intangible assets are determined based on the period in which they are expected to contribute directly to cash flows in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. Intangible assets that are determined to have a definite life are amortized over the life of the asset.

Definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for identifiable intangible assets is based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value determined by using a discounted cash flow model.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.

The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. Management has determined that the Company has two reporting unit within the entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

The table below summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for each reporting unit:

	Console game			Game Publishing			Media advertising service			Others			Total
Balance at March 31, 2022		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—
Acquired goodwill			2,047,154			—			—			—			2,047,154
Impairments			—			—			—			—			—
Balance at March 31, 2023		$	2,047,154		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	2,047,154
Acquired goodwill			674,367			—			—			268,873			943,240
Impairments			—			—			—			—			—
Balance at March 31, 2024		$	2,721,521		$	—		$	—		$	268,873		$	2,990,394

The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 in 2021, which primary goal is to simplify the goodwill impairment test and provide cost savings for all entities. This is accomplished by removing the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities in order to calculate a reporting unit’s “implied” goodwill under current GAAP.

The amendments in ASU 2017-04 eliminate Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As such, an entity will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment should be recorded. Any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

When measuring a goodwill impairment loss, an entity should consider the income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The ASU contains an illustration of the simultaneous equations method to demonstrate this, which reflects a deferred tax benefit from reducing the carrying amount of tax-deductible goodwill relative to the tax basis.

An entity may still perform the optional qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. However, this ASU eliminates the requirement to perform a qualitative assessment for any reporting unit with zero or negative carrying amount. Therefore, the same one-step impairment assessment will apply to all reporting units.

For the year ended March 31, 2024, management evaluated the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The Company had engaged with a third-party appraiser in assessing the fair value of the game distribution reporting unit by applying income approach which considers the present value of the game distribution reporting unit’s future after-tax cash flows, discounting them to present value using a 13.0% discount rate. As a result, the fair value of the game distributing reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, and therefore, no impairment loss on goodwill was recognized for the years ended March 31, 2024.

For the years ended March 31, 2023, management evaluated the recoverability of goodwill by performing qualitative assessment on its reporting units and determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and therefore, no impairment loss on goodwill was recognized for the years ended March 31, 2023.

Impairment for long-lived assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, long-lived assets, including property and equipment with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment loss whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognizes an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the assets. If an impairment loss is identified, the Company will reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach, or, when available and appropriate, comparable market values. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

Contingent consideration for acquisitions

In connection with the business combination set forth in Note 3, the Company recognized contingent consideration for acquisition upon completion of the business combination in accordance with ASC 805-10-55-28. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration for acquisition as the Company has the obligation to pay cash or issuing shares to settle the contingent consideration upon 2Game’s achievement of certain performance milestones.

In accordance with ASC 815-40 “Derivatives and Hedging”, the Company determined that the contingent consideration for acquisition should classified as a liability as it does not consider indexed to the Company’s stock. As a result, the contingent consideration for acquisition shall be measured initially, and subsequently at fair value on each reporting date. The Company will continue to adjust the carrying value of the contingent consideration for acquisitions until contingency is finally determined. Any changes in fair value will be recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Contingent consideration for acquisition was valued at the time of acquisitions and each of the financial statement date, using unobservable inputs and undiscounted cash flow methodology. The determination of the fair value is based on discounted cash flows, the key assumptions take into consideration the probability of meeting each performance target and the discount factor.

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, where equity interests are determined to be conditionally redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events that are not solely within the control of the Group, and upon such event, the shares would become redeemable at the option of the holders, they are classified as mezzanine equity (temporary equity). As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are 168,711 and 115,000 shares as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Common Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid-in capital equals to zero. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized changes in redemption value of $12,652. On November 22, 2023, 115,000 ordinary shares were fully redeemed for cash consideration of $ 163,905.

Revenue recognition

The Company follows the revenue accounting requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“Accounting Standards Codification

F-72

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(“ASC”) 606”). The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of this ASU allows the Company to recognize revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.

To achieve that core principle, the Company applies five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

The Company recognizes a contract with a customer when the contract is committed in writing, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability is probable.

Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows:

(1)

Revenue from sales of console game, gaming hardware, and accessories

The Company generates revenue from distributing gaming content that are compatible with major gaming consoles such as Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, and personal computers (“PC”) to retailers. Additionally, the Company is involved in the sale of gaming hardware and accessories, primarily consisting of controllers, adapters, headsets, gaming desk, chair and etc.

The Company recognized the revenue from sales of console game, gaming hardware, and accessories at a point in time when control of the product is passed to the retailers, which is the point in time that the retailers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit of the goods after the retailers pick up the products or the Company delivers the products to the retailers’ appointed forwarding agent. The transfer of control typically occurs at a point in time based on consideration of when the retailers have the obligation to pay for the goods, and physical possession of, legal title to, and the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has been transferred, and the retailers and end users have accepted the goods. Revenue is recognized net of estimates of variable consideration, including product returns, and customer discounts. Historically, the product return was deemed to be immaterial.

The Company determined that the shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the good. The Company elect to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, and accrue the related shipping cost.

Cost of revenue from sales of console game, gaming hardware, and accessories consist of cost of purchase of console game compact discs, gaming hardware and accessories from vendors.

(2)

Revenue from sales of console game code

The Company derives its revenue from the sale of console game codes through the following settlement arrangement: (1) fixed price settlement with sales price being predetermined in the contract, and (2) variable price settlement with sales price being variable and to be settled based on retailer’s monthly sales.

The Company recognized the revenue from sales of console game code at a point in time when control of the goods is passed to retailers or end users, which is the point in time that the customers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit of the goods after the console game code was E-delivered to the retailers or end users. The transfer of control typically occurs at a point in time based on consideration of when the retailers or end users have an obligation to pay for the goods, and physical possession of, legal title to, and the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has been transferred, and the retailers or end users has accepted the goods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For settlement arrangement under the fixed price settlement, the transaction price is generally fixed and does not contain any variable considerations such as sales returns, discounts, or rebates, as the Company settles the sales with customers on a sales contract basis.

For settlement arrangement under the variable price settlement, the transaction price is subject to variation and is determined based on the retailer’s monthly sales. The pricing for individual game codes is calculated by considering their wholesale price and the quantity sold. Additionally, a proportionate adjustment is made based on the total sales of each specific game code. As a result, the consideration received from retailer can fluctuate, making it a variable component of the overall consideration.

The Company accounts for revenue from sales of console game code under both settlement arrangements as mentioned above on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide specified goods, which the Company has control of the goods and has the ability to direct the use of goods to obtain substantially all the benefits. In making this determination, the Company assesses whether it is responsible to fulfil the performance obligation in these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, or has met several but not all of these indicators in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-36 through 40. The Company determined that it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good as the Company directly purchases the consoled game code from the vendors prior to posting any sale to retailers or end users. Meanwhile, the Company maintained the console game code electronically which demonstrates that Company has control over the goods and is subject to inventory risk. Furthermore, the Company has discretion in establishing the price of the goods which has demonstrated that the Company has the ability to direct the use of the goods and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits.

Cost of revenue from revenue from sales of console game code consist of cost of console game code purchased from vendor.

Revenue from game publishing

The Company generates its revenue from game publishing by providing a non-exclusive license to reproduce, publicly display and perform, transmit, sell, license and otherwise distribute the PC games in object code form (“console game code”) to gaming platforms such as Sony’s PlayStation Network, Valve’s Steam, and Microsoft’s Xbox for distribution. In this sales arrangement, the gaming platforms are considered as the Company’s customers.

The Company recognizes revenue from game publishing at the point in time when control of the console game code is transferred to the Gaming Platform, which specifically occurs when the console game code has been activated. Since the transaction price for publishing varies and is determined based on a predetermined rate applied to the Gaming Platform's monthly sales, the Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration expected to be received from the Gaming Platform.

The Company accounts for revenue from game publishing on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal who is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to publishing the game on the Gaming platform.

Cost of revenue from revenue from game publishing consist of game developing cost from developers.

Video marketing campaign services

The Company provides video marketing campaign services, which include video production, content alteration based on the customer’s specifications, and video publishing on designated influencers’ social media platforms. The Company identifies video marketing campaign services as a single performance obligation because the services in the contract cannot be distinct.

The customer cannot simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company throughout the performance obligation process, and the customer does not have control on the video

content as it is produced. Therefore, none of the criteria of ASC 606-10-25-27 is met, and the Company recognizes revenue from video marketing campaign services at a point in time when the customer takes control of the video. The transfer of control typically occurs when customers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the video, which happens when the video production is completed and accepted by the customer.

Cost of revenue from video marketing campaign service consist of video production related cost such as labor and production supplies.

(5)

Social media advertising

The Company generates revenue from social media advertising by monetizing video content on social media platforms by allowing advertisement to be displayed within the Company’s video posting during the playback process.

Revenue from social media advertising is recognized by the Company as it fulfills its performance obligation at a point in time, which occurs when the Company grant the right to use of the license of the video content to the social media platform, and when the social media platform can derive substantial economic benefit from monetizing the video content. The revenue generated is contingent on a profit-sharing arrangement with the social media platform and is assessed based on multiple factors. These factors include viewer engagement, viewer location, the type of advertisements, the number of advertisements engaged with, and more. The transaction price will be entitled to be received by the Company upon monthly settlement with the social media platform. Consequently, the Company has determined that revenue from social media advertising is recognized at a point in time when it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized will not occur.

Cost of revenue from social media marketing service consist of video production related cost such as labor and production supplies.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for incremental costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not incur any incremental costs to obtain contract.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any contract assets.

The Company recognized advance payments from its customer prior to revenue recognition as contract liability until the revenue recognition performance obligation are met. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the contract liability amounted to $209,903 and $363,726, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized that was included in the beginning period contract liabilities balance amounted to $363,726 and $433,924, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no contracts with performance obligations beyond 12 months for revenue recognition.

Warranty

The Company generally provides limited warranties for its products sold. At the time a sale is recognized, the Company records estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at time of delivery and these warranties are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or the Company’s best estimate. As the historical claim rates of warranty were deemed to be immaterial, the Company did not accrue warranty reserves as of March 31, 2024 and 2023

Advertisement expense

Advertising is mainly through online and offline promotion activities. Advertisement expenses amounted to $1,547,129 and $2,111,178 for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Deferred merger costs

Goods and Services Taxes (“GST”)

Revenue represents the invoiced value of service, net of applicable GST. The GST is chargeable on gross sales price. In Singapore, GST rate is 8% on gross sales price for calendar year 2023 and 9% for calendar year 2024. Entities that are GST-registered are allowed to offset qualified input GST paid to suppliers against their output GST liabilities. Net GST balance between input GST and output GST is recorded in tax payable or receivable.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year and adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that taxable income will be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forwards using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. 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 utilized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities.

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest were incurred related to underpayment of income tax for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, on the other expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the other payables and accrued liabilities line in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company conducts much of its business activities in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong and is subject to taxation in these jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company’s subsidiaries file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities. As of March 31, 2024, the tax returns for the Company’s Singapore entities from 2021 through 2024 remain open for statutory examination by the Singapore tax authorities. Similarly, as of March 31, 2024, the tax returns for the Company’s Hong Kong entities from 2019 through 2024 remain open for statutory examination by the tax authorities in Hong Kong, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, the tax returns for the Company’s Malaysia entity from 2020 through 2024 remain open for statutory examination by the tax authorities in Malaysia.

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss consists of two components, namely net income and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income (loss). Other comprehensive loss includes items such as results of foreign currency translation adjustment.

Earnings (loss) per share

The Company computes earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income attributable to the Company divided by the weighted average ordinary share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the diluted effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no dilutive shares.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value for certain assets and liabilities such as cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, amount due from related parties, other receivables and other current assets, prepayments, banking facilities, accounts payable, contract liabilities, amount due to related parties, other payables and accrued liabilities, and tax payables have been determined to approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company believes that its long-term bank facilities approximate the fair value based on current yields for debt instruments with similar terms.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial liability that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024:

	Carrying Value at March 31, 2024			Fair Value Measurement at March 31, 2024

Leases

Effective April 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The primary impact of the adoption is the initial recognition of $600,270 of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.

If any of the following criteria are met, the Company classifies the lease as a finance lease:

•

The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;

•

The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise;

•

The lease term is for 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, unless the commencement date falls within the last 25% of the economic life of the underlying asset;

•

The present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the underlying asset; or

•

The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

Leases that do not meet any of the above criteria are accounted for as operating leases.

The Company combines lease and non-lease components in its contracts under Topic 842, when permissible.

Finance and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

GCL GLOBAL LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its finance or operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee.

The finance or operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating lease. Meanwhile, the Company recognizes the finance leases ROU assets and interest on an amortized cost basis. The amortization of finance ROU assets is recognized on an accretion basis as amortization expense, while the lease liability is increased to reflect interest on the liability and decreased to reflect the lease payments made during the period. Interest expense on the lease liability is determined each period during the lease term as the amount that results in a constant periodic interest rate of the office equipment on the remaining balance of the liability.

The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize impairment loss on its finance and operating lease ROU assets.

Related parties

The Company identifies related parties, accounts for and discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” and other relevant ASC standards.

Corporations or individual parties are considered to be related if they have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the Company or exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and operating decisions. Entities are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Commitments and contingencies

The Company adheres to ASC 450, “Contingencies” for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of commitments and contingencies. Contingencies, representing uncertainties related to potential liabilities or gains stemming from past events, are evaluated based on available information, legal counsel advice, and historical experience. The Company records accruals for losses when it is probable and reasonably estimable.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”).

Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an

emerging growth Company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements — codification amendments in response to SEC’s disclosure Update and Simplification initiative which amend the disclosure or presentation requirements of codification subtopic 230-10 Statement of Cash Flows — Overall, 250-10 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — Overall, 260-10 Earnings Per Share — Overall, 270-10 Interim Reporting — Overall, 440-10 Commitments — Overall, 470-10 Debt — Overall, 505-10 Equity — Overall, 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging — Overall, 860-30 Transfers and Servicing — Secured Borrowing and Collateral, 932-235 Extractive Activities — Oil and Gas — Notes to Financial Statements, 946-20 Financial Services — Investment Companies — Investment Company Activities, and 974-10 Real Estate — Real Estate Investment Trusts — Overall. The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of above subtopics. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to existing SEC disclosure requirements or those that must provide financial statements to the SEC for securities purposes without contractual transfer restrictions, the effective date aligns with the date when the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Early adoption is not allowed. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later from the date of the SEC’s removal. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which is an update to Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The amendments in this Update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision- useful financial analyses. The amendments in this update: (1) require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”), (2) Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (3) Require that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and (4) Clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. However, at least one of the reported segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one is disclosed) should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the public entity’s consolidated financial statements. In other words, in addition to the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), a public entity is not precluded from reporting additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, (5) Require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and (6) Require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this Update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The amendments in this Update also do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts

disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company anticipates that Topic 280 will impact only its disclosures and therefore do not expect that Topic 280 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments allow investors to better assess, in their capital allocation decisions, how an entity’s worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. 5 The other amendments in this Update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application — General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update on Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.

Note 3 — Business Combination

— Acquisition of Starry

On April 12, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary, Titan Digital, entered into a sale and purchase agreements (“SPA1”) with Debbie Soon Rui Yi (“Debbie”), a related party who is the spouse of Jianhao Tan, the CEO of Titan Digital, to acquire 100% equity interest in Starry. Starry was incorporated in Singapore on June 16, 2020, and its principal activities mainly include distribution of Jewelry. Pursuant to the SPA1, Titan digital is obligated to issue 17,648 or 15% of Titan Digital’s ordinary shares to Debbie. On April 12, 2023, the acquisition of starry was completed (“Acquisition date”), and 17,648 shares of Titan Digital’s ordinary shares has been issued to Debbie.

The Company’s acquisition of Starry was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has allocated the purchase price of Starry based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. The Company estimated the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date in accordance with the business combination standard issued by the FASB using the fair value approach. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses.

Based on assessments using the income test, asset test, and investment test pursuant to S-X Rule 3-05, the Company concluded that the acquisition of Starry was not significant. Pursuant to ASC 805-10-50-2 (h). the unaudited pro forma information of the Company for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 set forth below gives effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on April 1, 2022 and combines the results of operations of the Company since then.

number of factors including in the valuations from the third-party appraiser. The significant assumption being used by the Company includes financial forecast and discount rate. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.

The fair value of the licenses was estimated using a relief-from-royalty method. This method calculates fair value by assuming that if the license were to be acquired from a third-party owner, a royalty rate on revenue would be charged for the privilege of using the asset. Therefore, the fair value of the licenses represents the present value of the after-tax royalties saved as a result of owning the legal right to utilize the licenses.

The goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, is primarily attributed to the enhanced brand recognition expected from integrating Starry’s operations. The acquisition of Starry is strategically aimed at leveraging its expertise in jewelry and accessories retail. By collaborating with Starry, the Company plans to create unique, game character-inspired jewelry and accessories. This collaboration will not only promote and market certain games but also expand the Company’s customer base. The synergy between the gaming operations and the jewelry business is expected to increase brand visibility and appeal to a broader demographic, thereby enhancing brand recognition.

On December 18, 2024, the Nekcom Publishing Agreement was signed, appointing 4Divinity as the exclusive global publisher and distributor of the game Showa American Story. In connection with the Nekcom SPA, 262,325 ordinary shares of GCL Global (the “Nekcom Consideration Shares”) and an additional 262,325 ordinary shares of GCL Global (the “Nekcom Additional Consideration Shares”) were issued in the name of Nekcom on December 18, 2024 but held in escrow until Full Recoupment Date (as defined in the Publishing Agreement) when they will be released to either Nekcom or the Company depending on the value of Nekcom Consideration Shares (the “Consideration Shares VWAP”) based on the volume weighted average price of the Consideration Shares over thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the Full Recoupment Date. If the Consideration Shares VWAP exceeds $7,500,000, all Nekcom Consideration Shares will be released to Nekcom, and all Nekcom Additional Consideration Shares will be returned to GCL Global for cancellation. In the event that the Consideration Shares VWAP is below $7,500,000 but exceeds $1,200,000, Nekcom will receive such number of Nekcom Additional Consideration Shares from the escrow account that would make up the shortfall, with the balance returned to the Company for cancellation. If the value of the Nekcom Additional Consideration Shares so released from the escrow account is not sufficient to make up the shortfall, the Company has agreed to either pay Nekcom cash to make up the shortfall, or issue additional shares to Nekcom and use its reasonable best efforts to register such shares for resale. If the Consideration Shares VWAP is below $1,200,000, the Company has agreed to pay Nekcom the shortfall between $7,500,000 and the Consideration Shares VWAP in cash.

the entry, by the Shareholder, at any time after the SPAC Merger Effective Time, of any trading plan providing for the sale of PubCo Shares by the Shareholder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any PubCo Shares during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period;

(vi)

(viii)

any Incentive Shares.

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (ii), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Letter Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Shareholder and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned, and lineal descendant (including by adoption) of the undersigned or of any of the foregoing persons; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

In furtherance of the foregoing, PubCo, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described in the Merger Agreement, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Letter Agreement.

This Letter Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred herein or the documents or instrument referred to herein, which collectively supersedes all prior agreements and the understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein. This Letter Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the undersigned Shareholder and PubCo (and with respect to PubCo, only with the written consent of a majority of its directors, which shall include a majority of its independent directors).

5. Amendment to Article II. Section 2.6 of the Merger Agreement is hereby by amended by adding a new subsection (f) as follows:

“(f) (i)The Company shall be responsible for paying the extension fee in the amount of $47,231.07 per month (the “Extension Fees”) for up to six (6) months (i.e., for an aggregate of $283,386.42) on or after September 28, 2024 up to the earlier of the Closing Date and March 28, 2025. The Company shall also pay the actual and documented (by invoice from third party vendors) expenses for the items set forth on Schedule 2.6(f) hereof (the “Additional Expenses” and, together, with the Extension Fees, the “Amendment Expenses”). The Parties agree that an aggregate amount of $283,386.42 (the “Extension

Fee Reserve”) shall be set aside to pay the Extension Fees. Subject to dollar-for-dollar adjustment to the Maximum Allowable SPAC Transaction Expenses and reimbursement by Sponsor as provided under Section 2.6(f)(ii) hereunder, any balance remaining in the Extension Fee Reserve prior to the Closing can be made available to pay for unpaid Additional Expenses, provided that the Extension Fees always take priority in payment. In no event, however, will the Company be required to pay more than an aggregate of $500,000 for the Amendment Expenses.

(ii) If, prior to the Closing Date, the Company has received Transaction Financing (not including the balance of the Trust Account) from the Sponsor, its affiliate, or any party introduced by the Sponsor to the Company that was not already known to the Company (the “Sponsor Arranged Financing”) in an aggregate amount of less than $10,000,000, the Maximum Allowable SPAC Transaction Expenses PubCo is obligated to pay pursuant to Section 2.6(c) hereof shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount by which the Amendment Expenses exceeds 5% of the dollar amount received by the Company of such Sponsor Arranged Financing. At the earlier of a termination of this Agreement or the Termination Date, if the Company has received less than $10,000,000 from the Sponsor Arranged Financing (not including the balance of the Trust Account), the Sponsor shall be required to reimburse the Company dollar-for-dollar by the amount by which the Amendment Expenses exceeds 5% of the dollar amount received by the Company of such Sponsor Arranged Financing at or prior to the termination. By way of example only, if the amount of Sponsor Arranged Financing at or prior to the Closing Date or the termination of the Agreement is $8,000,000 and the Company has paid $500,000 in Amendment Expenses, the Maximum Allowable SPAC Transaction Expenses would be reduced from $9,500,000 to $9,400,000 in the case of a Closing; or the Sponsor would be obligated to make a payment in the amount of $100,000 to the Company upon the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Termination Date.

(iii) In no event will any expenses attributable to the SPAC or Sponsor but actually paid by the Company be reimbursed to the SPAC or Sponsor pursuant to Section 2.6(c).”

6. Amendment to Article VIII. Section 8.3(a)(i) is hereby amended by deleting the penultimate sentence.

7. Amendment to Article X. Section 10.1(a) is hereby amended in its entirety by replacing it with the following language:

“by mutual written consent of the Company and SPAC, if the Transactions have not been completed by the Termination Date;”

8. Amendment to Article X. Section 10.2 is hereby amended by replacing the first sentence with the following:

“In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, or other Representatives, other than liability of the Company, SPAC or any Acquisition Entity, as the case may be, for any Willful Breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, except that the provisions of this Section 10.2, Section 2.6(f) and Article XI shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

7. No Other Amendments; Effect of Amendment. Except for the amendments expressly set forth in this Amendment, the Merger Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Amendment shall form a part of the Merger Agreement for all purposes, and the parties thereto and hereto shall be bound hereby.

(e)

a Class of Share shall not be treated as two Classes by virtue only of that Class comprising both certificated and uncertificated Shares or as a result of any provision of these Articles or any other applicable law or regulation which applies only in respect of certificated and uncertificated Shares;

(f)

where the Company is entitled under applicable law or these Articles to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, redeem, repurchase, re-allot, accept the surrender of, forfeit or enforce a lien over, a Share in the Company, the Directors shall, subject to such applicable laws, these Articles and the facilities and requirements of the Relevant System be entitled (without limitation):

(i)

to require the holder of that Share by notice to convert that Share into certificated form within the period specified in the notice and to hold that Share in certificated form so long as required by the Company;

(ii)

to require the operator of the Relevant System to convert that Share into certificated form;

(iii)

For the purpose of effecting any action by the Company, the Directors may determine that Depository Interests held by a person shall be treated as a separate holding from certificated Shares held by that person.

CALLS ON SHARES

11.1

Calls, how made

(a)

Subject to the terms on which Shares are allotted, the Directors may make calls on the Members (and any persons entitled by transmission) in respect of any amounts unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of nominal value or premium or otherwise) and not payable on a date fixed by or in accordance with the allotment terms. Each such Member or other person shall pay to the Company the amount called, subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) clear days’ notice specifying when and where the payment is to be made, as required by such notice.

(b)

A call may be made payable by instalments. A call shall be deemed to have been made when the resolution of the Directors authorising it is passed. A call may, before the Company’s receipt of any amount due under it, be revoked or postponed in whole or in part as the Directors may

B-10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

decide. A person upon whom a call is made will remain liable for calls made on him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

11.2

Liability of joint holders

The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of it.

11.3

Interest

If the whole of the sum payable in respect of any call is not paid by the day it becomes due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay all costs, charges and expenses that the Company may have incurred by reason of such non-payment, together with interest on the unpaid amount from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of the allotment of the Share or in the notice of the call or, if no rate is fixed, at such rate, not exceeding eight percent (8%) per annum (compounded on a six monthly basis), as the Directors shall determine. The Directors may waive payment of such costs, charges, expenses or interest in whole or in part.

11.4

Differentiation

Subject to the allotment terms, the Directors may make arrangements on or before the issue of Shares to differentiate between the holders of Shares in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their Shares.

11.5

Payment in advance of calls

(a)

The Directors may receive from any Member (or any person entitled by transmission) all or any part of the amount uncalled and unpaid on the Shares held by him (or to which he is entitled). The liability of each such Member or other person on the Shares to which such payment relates shall be reduced by such amount. The Company may pay interest on such amount from the time of receipt until the time when such amount would, but for such advance, have become due and payable at such rate not exceeding eight percent (8%) per annum (compounded on a six monthly basis) as the Directors may decide.

(b)

No sum paid up on a Share in advance of a call shall entitle the holder to any portion of a dividend subsequently declared or paid in respect of any period prior to the date on which such sum would, but for such payment, become due and payable.

11.6

Restrictions if calls unpaid

Unless the Directors decide otherwise, no Member shall be entitled to receive any dividend or to be present or vote at any meeting or to exercise any right or privilege as a Member until he has paid all calls due and payable on every Share held by him, whether alone or jointly with any other person, together with interest and expenses (if any) to the Company.

11.7

Sums due on allotment treated as calls

Any sum payable in respect of a Share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of the nominal value of the Share or by way of premium or otherwise or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call. If such sum is not paid, these Articles shall apply as if it had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

12.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

12.1

Forfeiture after notice of unpaid call

(a)

If a call or an instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any costs, charges and expenses that the Company may have incurred by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall state the place where payment is to be made and that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

B-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the notice is not complied with, any Shares in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. The forfeiture will include all dividends and other amounts payable in respect of the forfeited Shares which have not been paid before the forfeiture.

(b)

The Directors may accept the surrender of a Share which is liable to be forfeited in accordance with these Articles. All provisions in these Articles which apply to the forfeiture of a Share also apply to the surrender of a Share.

12.2

Notice after forfeiture

When a Share has been forfeited, the Company shall give notice of the forfeiture to the person who was before forfeiture the holder of the Share or the person entitled by transmission to the Share. An entry that such notice has been given and of the fact and date of forfeiture shall be made in the Register of Members. Notwithstanding the above, no forfeiture will be invalidated by any omission to give such notice or make such entry.

12.3

Consequences of forfeiture

(a)

A Share shall, on its forfeiture, become the property of the Company.

(b)

All interest in and all claims and demands against the Company in respect of a Share and all other rights and liabilities incidental to the Share as between its holder and the Company shall, on its forfeiture, be extinguished and terminate except as otherwise stated in these Articles.

(c)

The holder of a Share (or the person entitled to it by transmission) which is forfeited shall:

(i)

on its forfeiture cease to be a Member (or a person entitled) in respect of it;

(ii)

if a certificated Share, surrender to the Company for cancellation the share certificate for the Share;

(iii)

remain liable to pay to the Company all monies payable in respect of the Share at the time of forfeiture, with interest from such time of forfeiture until the time of payment, in the same manner in all respects as if the Share had not been forfeited; and

(iv)

remain liable to satisfy all (if any) claims and demands which the Company might have enforced in respect of the Share at the time of forfeiture without any deduction or allowance for the value of the Share at the time of forfeiture or for any consideration received on its disposal.

12.4

Disposal of forfeited Share

(a)

A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may decide either to the person who was before the forfeiture the holder or to any other person. At any time before the disposal, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors may decide. Where for the purpose of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any transferee, the Directors may:

(i)

in the case of certificated Shares, authorise a person to execute an instrument of transfer of Shares in the name and on behalf of their holder to the purchaser or as the purchaser may direct;

(ii)

in the case of uncertificated Shares, exercise any power conferred on them by Article 9.3(f) to effect a transfer of the Shares; and

(iii)

if the Share is represented by a Depository Interest, exercise any of the Company’s powers under Article 10.5 to effect the sale of the Share to, or in accordance with the directions of, the buyer.

(b)

The purchaser will not be bound to see to the application of the purchase monies in respect of any such sale. The title of the transferee to the Shares will not be affected by any irregularity in or

B-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

invalidity of the proceedings connected with the sale or transfer. Any instrument or exercise referred to at paragraph (a) of this Article shall be effective as if it had been executed or exercised by the holder of, or the person entitled by transmission to, the Shares to which it relates.

12.5

Proof of forfeiture

A statutory declaration by a Director or any other officer that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The declaration shall (subject to the execution of any necessary instrument of transfer) constitute good title to the Share. The person to whom the Share is disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration (if any) given for it on such disposal. His title to the Share will not be affected by any irregularity in, or invalidity of, the proceedings connected with the forfeiture or disposal.

13.

13.1

Form of transfer

(vi)

(b)

If the Directors refuse to register a transfer pursuant to this Article, they shall, within two (2) months after the date on which the transfer was delivered to the Company, send notice of the refusal to the transferee.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

14.1

Transmission of Shares

If a Member dies, becomes bankrupt, commences liquidation or is dissolved, the only person that the Company will recognise as having any title to, or interest in, that Member’s Share (other than the Member) are:

(a)

if the deceased Member was a joint holder, the survivor;

(b)

if the deceased Member was a sole or the only surviving holder, the personal representative of that Member; or

(c)

any trustee in bankruptcy or other person succeeding to the Member’s interest by operation of law,

but nothing in these Articles releases the estate of a deceased Member, or any other successor by operation of law, from any liability in respect of any Share held by that Member solely or jointly.

14.2

Election by persons entitled on transmission

Any person becoming entitled to a Share as a result of the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, elect either to become registered as the holder of the Share or nominate another person to be registered as the holder of that Share. If he elects to be registered as the holder of the Share himself, he shall give written notice to the Company to that effect. If he elects to have some other person registered as the holder of the Share, he shall:

(a)

in the case of a certificated Share, execute an instrument of transfer of such Share to such person;

(b)

in the case of an uncertificated Share, either:

(i)

procure that all the appropriate instructions are given by means of the Relevant System to effect the transfer of such Share to such person; or

(ii)

change the uncertificated Share to certified form and then execute a transfer of such Share to such person; and

(c)

in the case of a Share represented by a Depository Interest, take any action the Directors may require (including, without limitation, the execution of any document and the giving of any instruction by means of the Relevant System) to effect the transfer of the Share to that person.

14.3

Rights of persons entitled by transmission

A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends and other rights to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Share. However, the person shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to attend or vote at any meeting of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder (and the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to refuse registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by that Member before his death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days the Directors may withhold payment of all Dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

Voting on a show of hands

(a)

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting must be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded.

The Directors may in a similar manner permit supplements to, or amendments or revocations of, any such Uncertificated Proxy Instruction to be made by like means. The Directors may in addition prescribe the method of determining the time at which any such properly authenticated dematerialised instruction (and/or other instruction or notification) is to be treated as received by the Company or such participant. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Articles, the Directors may treat any such Uncertificated Proxy Instruction which purports to be or is expressed to be sent on behalf of a holder of a Share as sufficient evidence of the authority of the persons sending that instruction to send it on behalf of the holder.

26.7

Validity of votes cast by proxy

Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the instrument of proxy or of the authority under which the instrument of proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is appointed unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which the proxy voted.

26.8

Corporate representatives

A corporation which is a Member may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or at any separate meeting of the holders of any Class of Shares. Any person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation (in respect of that part of the corporation’s holdings to which the authority relates) as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member. The corporation shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting if a person so authorised is present at it. All references in these Articles to attendance and voting in person shall be construed accordingly. A Director, the Secretary or some other person authorised for the purpose by a Director may require the representative to produce a certified copy of the resolution so authorising him or such other evidence of his authority reasonably satisfactory to such person before permitting him to exercise his powers.

Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House or the Depository (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of the Shares of the Company held by the Clearing House or the Depository (or its nominee(s)).

Deductions

The Directors may deduct from any dividend or other amounts payable to any person in respect of a Share all such sums as may be due from him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in relation to any Shares.

34.6

Interest

No dividend or other money payable in respect of a Share shall bear interest against the Company, unless otherwise provided by the rights attached to the Share.

34.7

Unclaimed dividends

All unclaimed dividends or other monies payable by the Company in respect of a Share may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed. The payment of any unclaimed dividend or other amount payable by the Company in respect of a Share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect of it. Any dividend unclaimed after a period of three (3) years from the date the dividend became due for payment shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

34.8

Uncashed dividends

(a)

If, in respect of a dividend or other amount payable in respect of a Share:

(b)

a cheque, warrant or money order is returned undelivered or left uncashed; or

(c)

a transfer made by or through a bank transfer system and/or other funds transfer system(s) (including, without limitation, the Relevant System in relation to any uncertificated Shares) fails or is not accepted, on two consecutive occasions, or one occasion and reasonable enquiries have failed to establish another address or account of the person entitled to the payment, the Company shall not be obliged to send or transfer a dividend or other amount payable in respect of such Share to such person until he notifies the Company of an address or account to be used for such purpose.

34.9

Dividends in kind

The Directors may direct that any dividend or distribution shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets (including, without limitation, paid up Shares or securities of any other body corporate). Where any difficulty arises concerning such distribution, the Directors may settle it as it thinks fit. In particular (without limitation), the Directors may:

(a)

issue fractional certificates or ignore fractions;

(b)

fix the value for distribution of any assets, and may determine that cash shall be paid to any Member on the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of Members; and

(c)

vest any assets in trustees on trust for the persons entitled to the dividend.

34.10

Scrip dividends

(a)

The Directors may offer any holders of ordinary Shares the right to elect to receive ordinary Shares, credited as fully paid, instead of cash in respect of the whole (or some part, to be determined by the Directors) of any dividend specified by the Ordinary Resolution, subject to the Companies Act and to the provisions of this Article.

(b)

The Directors may make any provision they consider appropriate in relation to an allotment made or to be made pursuant to this Article (whether before or after the passing or the Ordinary Resolution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Article), including (without limitation):

(i)

the giving of notice to holders of the right of election offered to them;

(ii)

the provision of forms of election and/or a facility and a procedure for making elections through the Relevant System (whether in respect of a particular dividend or dividends generally);

B-36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(iii)

determination of the procedure for making and revoking elections;

(iv)

the place at which, and the latest time by which, forms of election and other relevant documents must be lodged in order to be effective;

(v)

the disregarding or rounding up or down or carrying forward of fractional entitlements, in whole or in part, or the accrual of the benefit of fractional entitlements to the Company (rather than to the holders concerned); and

(vi)

the exclusion from any offer of any holders of ordinary Shares where the Directors consider that the making of the offer to them would or might involve the contravention of the laws of any territory or that for any other reason the offer should not be made to them.

(c)

The dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect of which a right of election has been offered) shall not be payable on ordinary Shares in respect of which a valid election has been made (“the elected ordinary Shares”). Instead additional ordinary Shares shall be allotted to the holders of the elected ordinary Shares on the basis of allotment determined under this Article. For such purpose, the Directors may capitalise out of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund of the Company (including any share premium account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution, a sum equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the additional ordinary Shares to be allotted on that basis and apply it in paying up in full the appropriate number of unissued ordinary Shares for allotment and distribution to the holders of the elected ordinary Shares on that basis.

(d)

The additional ordinary Shares when allotted shall rank equally in all respects with the fully paid ordinary Shares in issue on the record date for the dividend in respect of which the right of election has been offered, except that they will not rank for any dividend or other entitlement which has been declared, paid or made by reference to such record date.

(e)

The Directors may:

(i)

do all acts and things which it considers necessary or expedient to give effect to any such capitalisation, and may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and incidental matters and any agreement so made shall be binding on all concerned;

(ii)

establish and vary a procedure for election mandates in respect of future rights of election and determine that every duly effected election in respect of any ordinary Shares shall be binding on every successor in title to the holder of such Shares; and

(iii)

terminate, suspend or amend any offer of the right to elect to receive ordinary Shares in lieu of any cash dividend at any time and generally implement any scheme in relation to any such offer on such terms and conditions as the Directors may from time to time determine and take such other action as the Directors may deem necessary or desirable from time to time in respect of any such scheme.

34.11

Reserves

The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company and carry to reserve such sums as it thinks fit. Such sums standing to reserve may be applied, at the Directors’ discretion, for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may properly be applied and, pending such application, may either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors thinks fit. The Directors may divide the reserve into such special funds as it thinks fit and may consolidate into one fund any special funds or any parts of any special funds into which the reserve may have been divided as it thinks fit. The Directors may also carry forward any profits without placing them to reserve.

34.12

Capitalisation of profits and reserves

The Directors may, with the authority of an Ordinary Resolution:

B-37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(a)

subject to this Article, resolve to capitalise any undivided profits of the Company not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not available for distribution) or any sum standing to the credit of any reserve or fund of the Company (including any share premium account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution;

(b)

appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the holders of ordinary Shares in proportion to the nominal amounts of the Shares (whether or not fully paid) held by them respectively which would entitle them to participate in a distribution of that sum if the Shares were fully paid and the sum were then distributable and were distributed by way of dividend and apply such sum on their behalf either in or towards paying up the amounts, if any, unpaid on any Shares held by them respectively, or in paying up in full unissued Shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to that sum, and allot the Shares or debentures credited as fully paid to those holders of ordinary Shares or as the Directors may direct, in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other, but so that the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve and any profits or reserves which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued Shares to be allotted to Members credited as fully paid;

(c)

resolve that any Shares so allotted to any Member in respect of a holding by him of any partly paid Shares shall, so long as such Shares remain partly paid, rank for dividend only to the extent that such partly paid Shares rank for dividend;

(d)

make such provision by the issue of fractional certificates (or by ignoring fractions or by accruing the benefit of fractions to the Company rather than to the holders concerned) or by payment in cash or otherwise as the Directors may determine in the case of Shares or debentures becoming distributable in fractions;

(e)

authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Members concerned into an agreement with the Company providing for either:

(i)

the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid, of any further Shares or debentures to which they are entitled upon such capitalisation; or

(ii)

the payment up by the Company on behalf of such Members by the application thereto of their respective proportions of the reserves or profits resolved to be capitalised, of the amounts or any part of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing Shares,

and so that any such agreement shall be binding on all such Members; and

(f)

generally do all acts and things required to give effect to such resolution.

(c)

This Article is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

(c) All decisions of the Administrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons, including the Company, the shareholders of the Company and the Participants and their beneficiaries.

(d) The Administrator may impose restrictions on any Award with respect to non-competition, confidentiality, lock-up and any other events that it considers to be detrimental to the Company, and impose other restrictive covenants as it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion. In the event that these restrictions are breached, the Administrator may request the Participants to return all benefits made available to them under this Equity Plan and such Participants shall cease to be entitled to potential benefits intended to be made available to them under this Equity Plan.

Section 6. Shares Available for Awards.

(a) Subject to adjustment as provided below, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to all Awards shall initially not exceed [•]1 Shares. In addition, subject to any adjustments as necessary provided in this Equity Plan, such aggregate number of shares of Shares will automatically increase on [January] 1 of each year for a period of ten years commencing on [January 1, 2025] and ending on (and including) [January 1, 2034], in an amount equal to 3% of the total number of shares of Shares outstanding on [December 31] of the preceding year; provided, however, that the Board may act prior to [January 1st] of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Shares.

(b) If, after the effective date of this Equity Plan, any Shares covered by an Award, or to which such an Award relates, are forfeited, cancelled or if such an Award otherwise terminates without the delivery of Shares or of other consideration, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be, or shall become, available for issuance under this Equity Plan.

(c) In the event that any Option or other Award granted hereunder (other than a Substitute Award) is exercised through the delivery of Shares, or in the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from such Option or Award are satisfied by the withholding of Shares by the Company, the number of Shares available for Awards under this Equity Plan shall be increased by the number of Shares so surrendered or withheld.

(d) Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares, treasury Shares or Shares purchased on the open market.

(e) In the event that the Administrator shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split,

reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined, in its absolute discretion, by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Equity Plan, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, including the aggregate limit specified in Section 6(a) hereof, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the grant price, purchase price, or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award, and (iv) the minimum number of Shares which may be acquired by the holder of an outstanding Award at any one time; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.

(f) Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall not reduce the number of Shares remaining available for issuance under this Equity Plan.

(g) Except as expressly provided in this Equity Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in this Equity Plan or pursuant to action of the Administrator under this Equity Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares subject to an Award or the grant or exercise price of any Award.

Section 7. Options.

The Administrator is hereby authorized to grant Options to Participants with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the provisions of this Equity Plan, as the Administrator shall determine and set forth in the Award Agreement:

(a) The purchase price per Share under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator.

(b) The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator.

(c) The Administrator shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price, in which, payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made.

Section 8. Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units.

(a) The Administrator is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units to Participants.

(b) Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Administrator may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Restricted Share or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Administrator may deem appropriate.

(c) Any Restricted Share granted under this Equity Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a share certificate or certificates, creation of a new class of shares or amendment of the Memorandum and/or Articles of Association of the Company. In the event any share certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Shares granted under this Equity Plan, such certificate shall be registered

in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Share.

Section 9. Other Share-Based Awards.

The Administrator is hereby authorized to grant to Participants such other Awards (including, without limitation, share appreciation rights and rights to dividends and dividend equivalents) that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of this Equity Plan. Subject to the terms of this Equity Plan, the Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 9 shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, as the Administrator shall determine.

Section 10. General Provisions Applicable to Awards.

(a) All Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and each Participant.

(b) Awards shall be granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may be required by Applicable Laws.

(c) Awards may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Award or any award granted under any other plan of the Company. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards, or in addition to or in tandem with awards granted under any other plan of the Company, may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

(d) Subject to the terms of this Equity Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Company upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Administrator shall determine including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments.

(e) Unless the Board or the Administrator shall otherwise determine, no Award and no right under any such Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that, if so determined by the Administrator or the Board, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise the rights of the Participant, and to receive any property distributable, with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant. Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under Applicable Laws and the applicable Award Agreement, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. No Award and no right under any such Award, may be pledged, charged, mortgaged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, charge, mortgage, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Award which has been fully exercised, earned or paid, as the case may be, and shall not preclude forfeiture of an Award in accordance with the terms hereof and of the applicable Award Agreement.

(f) All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under this Equity Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under this Equity Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon

which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any Applicable Laws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(g) No Shares shall be delivered under the Equity Plan to any Participant until such Participant has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of any income and employment tax withholding obligations under Applicable Laws. The Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or its subsidiaries, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable taxes (including the Participant’s payroll tax obligations) required or permitted by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of the Equity Plan. The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sum required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Equity Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award after such Shares were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy any income and payroll tax liabilities applicable to the Participant with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall, unless specifically approved by the Administrator, be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for the applicable income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.

Section 11. Amendment and Termination.

(a) Except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Laws and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in this Equity Plan, the Administrator may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Equity Plan, or any Award Agreement hereunder or any portion hereof or thereof at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without (i) shareholder approval with such legally mandated threshold for a resolution of the shareholders of the Company, if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement for which or with which the Administrator deems it necessary or desirable to qualify or comply, (ii) shareholder approval with such threshold for a resolution of the shareholders of the Company in respect of such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination as provided in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association for any amendment to this Equity Plan that increases the total number of Shares reserved for the purposes of this Equity Plan, and (iii) with respect to any Award Agreement, the consent of the affected Participant, if such action would materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award.

(b) The Administrator may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an Award; provided, however, that no such action shall materially and adversely affect the rights of any affected Participant or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under this Equity Plan; and provided further that, except as provided in Section 6(e) hereof, no such action shall reduce the exercise price of any Option established at the time of grant thereof.

(c) The Administrator shall be authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 6(e) hereof affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in Applicable Laws or accounting principles); whenever the Administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Equity Plan.

(d) Any provision of this Equity Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, with the affected Participant’s consent, the Administrator may cause any Award granted hereunder to be canceled in consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such canceled Award equal in value to the Fair Market Value of such canceled Award as of the time of the cancellation.

C-6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(e) The Administrator may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in this Equity Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry this Equity Plan into effect.

Section 12. Withholding Taxes. The exercise of each Award granted under this Equity Plan shall be subject to the condition that, if at any time, the Administrator shall determine that the satisfaction of withholding tax is necessary or desirable in respect of such exercise, such exercise shall not be effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Administrator. In such circumstances, the Administrator may require the exercising Participant to pay to the Company, in addition to and in the same manner as the exercise price for the Award Shares, such amount as the Company or any Affiliate is obliged to remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the exercise of the Awards. Alternatively, the Administrator may direct the Company or an Affiliate thereof to withhold the appropriate amount of tax from the applicable Participant’s salary in connection with a requested exercise. Any such additional payment shall be due no later than the date as of which any amount with respect to the Award exercised first becomes includable in the gross income of the exercising Participant for tax purposes.

Section 13. Miscellaneous.

(a) No employee, independent contractor, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under this Equity Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, independent contractors, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under this Equity Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

(b) Nothing contained in this Equity Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

(c) The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or terminate the services of an independent contractor, free from any liability, or any claim under this Equity Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Equity Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding upon the parties.

(d) If any provision of this Equity Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify this Equity Plan or any Award under any Applicable Laws, such provision shall (to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws) be construed or deemed amended to conform to Applicable Laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Administrator, materially altering the intent of this Equity Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of this Equity Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Awards payable under this Equity Plan shall be payable in Shares or from the general assets of the Company, and no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall be made to assure payment of such awards. No Participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including Shares, except as expressly otherwise provided) of the Company or one of its subsidiaries by reason of any award hereunder.

(f) Neither this Equity Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

(g) No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Equity Plan or any Award, and the Administrator shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

C-7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(h) [Reserved]

(i) In order to assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed in various jurisdictions, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or custom applicable in the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides or is employed. Moreover, the Administrator may approve such supplements to, amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Equity Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this Equity Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements, restatements or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 6 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate any Applicable Laws.

(j) The Company shall not be obligated to grant any Awards, permit the exercise of any Awards, issue any Award Shares upon the exercise of any Awards, make any payments or take any other action pursuant to this Equity Plan if, in the opinion of the Administrator, such action would conflict or be inconsistent with any Applicable Law or the Company’s trading policies, and the Administrator reserves the right to refuse to take such action for so long as such conflict or inconsistency or issue remains outstanding.

(k) The Company shall maintain a register of Awards granted to the Participants and Award Shares issued to the Participants or an entity designated by the Participants, including the dates of grant of such Awards and the exercise of such Awards and any other details as the Administrator may deem appropriate.

(l) The Equity Plan and all Award Agreements shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Section 14. Effective Date of Equity Plan.

The Equity Plan shall be effective after the closing the Business Combination, its approval by the Board of the Company and its approval by the shareholders of the Company (the “Effective Date”).

Section 15. Term of Equity Plan.

No Award shall be granted under this Equity Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Equity Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Administrator to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and the authority of the Board to amend this Equity Plan, shall extend beyond such date.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. PubCo’s memorandum and articles of association shall provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own fraud or dishonesty.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.
