The BCA was closed on January 25, 2023 (the “Closing Date”). Pursuant to the BCA, on the Closing Date Merger Sub I merged with and into Gesher, with Gesher being the surviving entity. Then, Gesher merged with and into Merger Sub II with Merger Sub II surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Freightos (collectively, the “Transactions”). Upon consummation of the Transactions, Freightos became a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “CRGO” and “CRGOW” and the former equity holders of Gesher became equity holders of Freightos. On the Closing Date, in connection with the closing of the Transactions Freightos also consummated private placements contemplated by a forward purchase agreement and a backstop agreement, each assigned from Gesher to the Company. Pursuant to these agreements a Forward Purchaser, as defined in the forward purchase agreement, purchased 4,000,000 Freightos units (consisting of one Ordinary share and one-half of a warrant) for a purchase price of $40,000 and additionally fulfilled a $10,000 backstop commitment in exchange for 1,000,000 Freightos Ordinary shares and 500,000 Freightos newly issued warrants. In addition, a Backstop Investor, as defined in the backstop agreement, fulfilled the $10,000 backstop commitment in exchange for 1,000,000 Freightos Ordinary shares and 100,000 newly issued Freightos warrants. In addition, pursuant to a PIPE Agreement, an investor purchased 1,000,000 Freightos Ordinary shares for a purchase price of $10,000. NOTE 1: — GENERAL (Cont.) On the Closing Date, in connection with the closing of the Transactions the Company and its shareholders recapitalized the Company’s equity securities whereby each share of the Company’s Preferred shares was converted into one Ordinary share. In addition, and immediately following that conversion each Ordinary share was converted into 3.51806 Ordinary shares (the “Share Split”). At the same time, and as part of the Share Split, each outstanding option to purchase an Ordinary share was converted into an option to purchase 3.51806 Ordinary shares and the exercise price of such option was reduced by dividing the exercise price by 3.51806. As a result of the Share Split the Ordinary shares, Preferred shares, options for Ordinary shares, exercise price and net loss per share amounts were adjusted retroactively for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements as if the Share Split had been in effect as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The Transactions were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with the relevant International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the Group was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Gesher did not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3 - “Business Combinations”, and the Transactions were instead accounted for within the scope of IFRS 2 - “Share based payment” (“IFRS 2”), as a share-based payment transaction in exchange for a public listing service. In accordance with IFRS 2 the Company recorded a one-time share-based Share listing expense of $46,717 at the closing of the BCA that was calculated based on the excess of the fair value of the Company issued to public investors over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Gesher that were acquired: | | | | | | | | | Number of | | | Amount | | Shares | Shares issued to Gesher shareholders | | | | 4,287,156 | Opening price of the Company’s share on Nasdaq as of January 25, 2023 ($) | | 10.23 | | | (A) Fair value of the Company’s shares issued to Gesher shareholders | | 43,858 | | | Warrants issued to Gesher shareholders | | | | 12,250,000 | Opening price of the Company’s warrants on Nasdaq as of January 25, 2023 ($) | | 0.74 | | | (B) Fair value of the Company’s warrants issued to Gesher shareholders | | 9,012 | | | | | | | | Gesher’s cash in trust | | 8,127 | | | Gesher’s liabilities | | (1,974) | | | | | | | | (C) Net assets of Gesher | | 6,153 | | | | | | | | IFRS 2 Listing expenses (A+B-C) | | 46,717 | | |
| e. | These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $194,109. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a loss of $9,930 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $4,505.
