DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS, AND GOING CONCERN |
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 June 30, 2024, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 11, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2024, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“the Initial Public Offering”) which is described below, and consists of evaluating target businesses and completing a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income 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 Early Bird Capital, Inc. (“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. 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 June 30, 2024, cash of $118,349 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes. 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 due to receiving a slightly higher interest rate from Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank” or “Citi”). At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $30,643,229 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, and July 24, 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 February 17, 2024, the Director Promissory Note was amended and restated to increase the principal amount of the note to $2,000,000. The Director Promissory Note bears no interest and matures on the later of: (i) December 28, 2024, or (ii) the date that the Company consummates an initial 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). 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. 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 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 June 30, 2024, the Company had $118,349 of cash and negative working capital of $5,854,311. 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 June 30, 2024, 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. 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 shareholder approval to further extend the deadline to consummate a business combination. 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 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.
