PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF
RELATIVITY ACQUISITION CORP.,
AND
PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 28,816,338 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND
UP TO 15,028,750 WARRANTS
OF
INSTINCT BIO TECHNICAL COMPANY INC.
Relativity Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Relativity”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement as of February 28, 2025 (as amended and restated on October 22, 2025 and as may be further amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among (i) Relativity Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the “Purchaser”), (ii) Relativity Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands company (“Pubco”), (iii) Relativity Purchaser Merger Sub II Inc., a company to be formed in the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger Sub” and the Merger Sub, collectively with the Purchaser and Pubco, the “Purchaser Parties”), (iv) Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (an “Operating Company”, “Target Company” or “BIOT”) and its shareholders whose details will be identified and provided by the Target Company prior to Closing (“Sellers”), (vi) Tomoki Nagano (“Founder”), (vii) Relativity Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) for the stockholders of Pubco (other than the Sellers) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Purchaser Representative”), and (viii) Tomoki Nagano in the capacity as the representative from and after the date of the Business Combination Agreement for the Sellers in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Seller Representative”) (all of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the issuances of securities thereunder, the “Business Combination”). The Purchaser, Pubco, the Merger Sub, the Operating Company, Founder, the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” and each, a “Party”.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into Relativity, with Relativity surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”), and (b) each Seller will contribute all of its ownership interests in each Operating Company to Pubco in exchange for aggregate consideration in the amount of $225,000,000, to be paid in ordinary shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco ordinary share”) valued at $10.00 per share. At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), each warrant of Relativity issued in its initial public offering (the “IPO” and each such warrant, a “Relativity Public Warrant”) will be converted into one warrant of Pubco (“Pubco Public Warrant”), immediately prior to the Business Combination as described in this proxy statement/prospectus), and each warrant underlying the private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) issued to the Sponsor in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of Relativity’s initial public offering (“Relativity Private Warrant”) will be converted into one private warrant of Pubco (“Pubco Private Warrant”), in each case with such warrant of Pubco having substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the respective warrants of Relativity, except that in each case they will represent the right to acquire shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares, in lieu of shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock.
It is anticipated that upon completion of the Business Combination, the holders of Relativity Class A Common Stock, other than holders that acquired Relativity’s common stock prior to its IPO and their permitted transferees (the “Initial Stockholders”), will own an interest of approximately 0.22% in Pubco (such holders, the “Public Stockholders”), the Initial Stockholders will own an interest of approximately 19.14% of Pubco, and the Sellers will own an interest of approximately 76.52% of Pubco. See “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” If the actual facts are different from the assumptions set forth therein (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership set forth above will be different.
The Relativity Board obtained a fairness opinion from ErShares dated February 24, 2025, which provided that, as of February 24, 2025 and based on and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and other matters set forth therein, the total consideration to be paid by Relativity in the Business Combination was fair, from a financial perspective, to the stockholders of Relativity. Relativity obtained such fairness opinion to (i) inform themselves with respect to all material information reasonably available to them and (ii) act with appropriate care in considering the Business Combination. For additional information, please see

the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of ErShares as Fairness Opinion Provider” and the opinion of ErShares attached hereto as Annex E for additional information.
On December 21, 2022, Relativity’s stockholders approved the amendment to its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Current Charter”) to extend the date by which it must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023, or such earlier date as is determined by Relativity’s Board of Directors (the “Relativity Board”), and to provide for up to two additional three-month extensions (each, a “Funded Extension Period”) beyond August 15, 2023 of the period of time for Relativity to consummate an initial business combination, subject to Relativity’s provision of an aggregate of $1,000 from its working capital into Relativity’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) for each such Funded Extension Period (the “Extension”). Upon Relativity’s stockholders’ approval and the Relativity Board’s decision to extend the date by which Relativity must consummate its initial business combination to August 15, 2023, Relativity deposited an aggregate amount of $10,000 from working capital into the Trust Account. In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (approximately $10.29 per Public Share (as defined below)) resulting in the payment of approximately $146 million from the Trust Account, leaving approximately $1.6 million in the Trust Account and 153,295 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock outstanding held by the Public Stockholders. On August 7, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an initial business combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an initial business combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024, which is the second of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on November 9, 2023. On February 20, 2024, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025, the amendment to the second of the two Funded Extension Periods (the “February Extension”). In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from The Company’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account in connection with the February Extension. On January 28, 2025, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which is has to consummate a Business Combination through the Third Extension Amendment, the Sponsor or its designees have agreed to loan to us $.18 per public share (as defined below) that is not redeemed, aggregate for the calendar year (commencing on February 15, 2025 and on the 15th day of each subsequent month) until February 15, 2026, or portion thereof (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial Business Combination (each, an “Extension Loan”). On February 13, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to extend the time by which it can complete a business combination to February 15, 2027.
As of February 15, 2026, Relativity had approximately $714,335 available in the Trust Account. If Relativity does not complete the Business Combination or another business combination by February 15, 2027 subject to Relativity’s provision of an aggregate of $12,000 for the entire calendar year, from its working capital into the Trust Account for the second Funded Extension Period, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Current Charter (or such later date as may be approved by Relativity stockholders in an amendment to its Current Charter), Relativity must redeem 100% of 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 Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares. The Initial Stockholders have waived any rights they may have with respect to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of Relativity with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) and the Private Placement Shares and, accordingly, in the event a business combination is not effected by Relativity by February 15, 2027, such securities would be worthless.
As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, Relativity’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon (among other things) the Business Combination at a Special Meeting of Relativity stockholders scheduled to be held at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on March 25, 2026 (the “Stockholder Special Meeting”).
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote

any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced. Accordingly, we expect them to vote their shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting. The Initial Stockholders own approximately 98.5% of the total outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Stockholders Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Relativity Common Stock that are voted at the Stockholder Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. The approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, the Initial Stockholders will be able to approve all of the proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, even if none of the Public Stockholders vote in favor of approving the Business Combination at the Stockholder Special Meeting. The existence of financial and personal interests of Relativity’s directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors or officers between what they may believe is in the best interests of Relativity and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion.
On June 3, 2024 the Nasdaq Stock Market delisted our Class A Common Stock, Units and Warrants from Listing under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, due to public interest concerns over the liquidity of Relativity’s securities. The Relativity Class A Common Stock is currently traded on the over the counter market but the units issued in the IPO (the “Public Units”) and the Relativity Public Warrants are not traded anywhere; however, the Company plans to reapply to NASDAQ upon closing of the business combination. Pubco will apply for listing, to be effective upon closing of the Business Combination for the Pubco ordinary share and Pubco Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “BIOT” and “BIOTW,” respectively. Pubco will not have units traded following the consummation of the Business Combination. It is uncertain if Pubco will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements to list its securities on Nasdaq, which is a condition to the closing of the Business Combination.
Although Pubco is not currently a public reporting company in any jurisdiction, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and the Closing, Pubco will become subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Pubco will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.
Pubco will additionally be a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act, and may elect to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. As a smaller reporting company, Pubco will additionally be exempt from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended. As a result, the information provided to Pubco stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public reporting companies in which they hold equity interests. Pubco will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until it has $250 million or more in public float (based on Pubco ordinary share) measured as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter or, in the event it has no public float or a public float that is less than $700 million, annual revenues of $100 million or more during the most recently completed fiscal year.

We estimate that immediately following the closing of the Business Combination, the Founder will exercise voting and investment control over approximately 11,736,050 Pubco Ordinary Shares, or 40.73% of the total Pubco Ordinary Shares outstanding, respectively, assuming no redemptions of Public Shares by Public Stockholders and no exercise of Pubco Warrants. Accordingly, for so long as the Founder holds such shares, he will continue to control a significant percentage of the voting power of Pubco ordinary share and will be able to influence the composition of the Pubco Board and management and the approval of actions requiring stockholder approval. Pubco will be considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (1) that a majority of the company’s board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) that the company’s board of directors have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that the company’s board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. While Pubco does not intend to take advantage of these exemptions, it may do so in the future. As a result, Pubco’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the proposed Business Combination. It also contains or references information about Relativity and BIOT and certain related matters. You are encouraged to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. In particular, you should read the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 32 for a discussion of the risks you should consider in evaluating the proposed Business Combination and how it will affect you. Events occurring prior to the Special Meeting may require us to supplement this proxy statement/prospectus, in which case you are encouraged to read such supplement along with this proxy statement/prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Business Combination or the other transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus, or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above reflect different redemption scenarios set forth below:

Assuming no redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that no Public Stockholders exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares.

Assuming 50% redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that the Public Stockholders holding approximately 50% of the Public Shares exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares, which is approximately 50% of the Public Shares assumed to be redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario. This scenario assumes that 31,244 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate redemption payment of approximately $346,227, inclusive of a pro rata portion of interest accrued on the Trust Account (net of taxes payable).

Assuming maximum redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that the Public Stockholders holding approximately 100.0% of the Public Shares exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares. This scenario assumes that 62,488 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate redemption payment of approximately $692,453, inclusive of a pro rata portion of interest accrued on the Trust Account (net of taxes payable).
Compensation Received by the Sponsor
Set forth below is a summary of the terms and amount of the compensation received or to be received by the Sponsor and its affiliates in connection with the Business Combination or any related financing transaction, the amount of securities issued or to be issued by Relativity to the Sponsor and its affiliates and the price paid or to be paid for such securities or any related financing transaction.

Interest in Securities
Other Compensation
Sponsor On February 27, 2023, Purchaser issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Class A Common Stock to its Sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Founder Shares, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock that were originally purchased for $25,000. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Class A Common Stock and one share of Class B Common Stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Class A Common Stock to certain members of the Sponsor. The Sponsor currently holds 2,855,380 shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted from Class B Common Stock and one share of Class B Common Stock. At closing, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco will use cash from the Trust Account to pay Relativity transaction expenses and to reimburse or pay Sponsor or its affiliates for any outstanding loans or other obligations of Relativity to Sponsor or its affiliates. Relativity currently estimates that the total amount payable for Relativity transaction expenses and any outstanding loans or other obligations of Relativity to Sponsor is approximately $       million.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. Each of the 653,750 Relativity Private Warrants included in the Private Placement Units is exercisable to purchase one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Any working capital loans are to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Such working capital loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, upon consummation of the initial business combination. If the maximum amount of $1,500,000 working capital loans is converted into 150,000 Private Placement Units upon consummation of the initial business combination, Sponsor will receive an additional 150,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of these additional Private Placement Units. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units that the Sponsor purchased in connection with the closing of the IPO.
The retention of shares by Sponsor and the reimbursements payable to Sponsor at Closing will not result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming public shareholders of Relativity. See “Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.
Conflicts of Interest
In considering the recommendation of the Relativity Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors, officers and the sponsor, and their related promoters and affiliates, have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Relativity’s stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

if Relativity does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), it would either need stockholders to vote for an Extension of such date or cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the Relativity Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders, which were initially acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the

holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. The aggregate value of the Founder Shares is estimated to be approximately $29,859,925, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $7.03 closing price of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and are expected to have a significantly higher value than $25,000 at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination). As a result, the Initial Stockholders are likely to be able to recoup their investment in Relativity and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if after the Closing Pubco ordinary share loses significant value. This means that the Initial Stockholders could earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-Business Combination company. Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination (such as the Business Combination) rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. Each of the 653,750 Relativity Private Warrants included in the Private Placement Units is exercisable to purchase one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. If we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination transaction by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), then a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless. The Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units has an aggregate market value of approximately $4,595,863 based upon the closing price of $7.03 of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,492,213 based upon the closing price of $12.99 per Public Unit on Nasdaq on January 11, 2023, the date the units stopped trading (the “Trading Halt”). Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have agreed, as part of the IPO and to induce Relativity and the underwriters to enter into the underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO, not to redeem any shares of Relativity Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed Initial Business Combination;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors, and their respective promoters and affiliates, will only receive compensation (in the form of securities received prior to or in conjunction with Relativity’s initial public offering, and that if the Business Combination does not close, they will receive no compensation for their services to Relativity;

the fact that the target company’s officers and directors may in the future receive equity awards from Instinct Bio that will be publicly traded, which they would not receive if the Business Combination does not close.

in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify Relativity if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Relativity, 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 (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable (which interest will be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;


if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (or such other date as approved by Relativity’s stockholders), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to Relativity’s Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless;

the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Public Stockholders vote, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced;

following consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor, Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an Initial Business Combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, on such terms as to be determined by Relativity from time to time, made by Sponsor or certain of Relativity’s officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. However, if Relativity fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within the required period, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. However, there have been no material out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement to date and Relativity does not anticipate any such expenses prior to Closing;

following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Relativity and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Relativity for working capital expenses;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the required period, it may use a portion of its working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans;

the Sponsor will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement at Closing, which provides for registration rights of the Sponsor and certain other stockholders following consummation of the Business Combination; and

Relativity’s 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 Business Combination Agreement.
These interests, which create actual and potential conflicts of interest further described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.” Accordingly, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidating Relativity. The Relativity Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and these interests are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Relativity with any other target business or businesses, (iii) the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco, which may be affected by various other factors other than these interests and (iv) Relativity retained ErShares to provide a fairness opinion to the Relativity Board in connection with the Business Combination and, on February 24, 2025 ErShares delivered its opinion to the Relativity Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For a description of the opinion issued by ErShares to the Relativity Board, please see the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of ErShares as Fairness Opinion Provider.” In addition, Relativity’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation of the Business Combination and in unanimously approving, as members of the Relativity Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
This proxy statement/prospectus is dated March 5, 2026 and is first being mailed to stockholders of Relativity and holders of Relativity Public Warrants on or about March 5, 2026.

TO BE HELD ON MARCH 25, 2026
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF RELATIVITY ACQUISITION CORP.:

You are cordially invited to attend the Stockholder Special Meeting for the following purposes:
1.
Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal To consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt and approve the business combination agreement, dated as of February 28, 2025 (as amended and restated on October 22, 2025, and as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among (i) Relativity Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, “Relativity” or “Purchaser”), (ii) Relativity Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands company (“Pubco”), (iii) Relativity Purchaser Merger Sub II Inc., a company to be formed in the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger Sub” and the Merger Sub, collectively with the Purchaser and Pubco, the “Purchaser Parties”), (iv) Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (an “Operating Company” and “Target Company”) and its shareholders whose details will be identified and provided by the Target Company prior to Closing (“Sellers”), (vi) Tomoki Nagano (“Founder”), (vii) Relativity Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined below) for the stockholders of Pubco (other than the Sellers) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Purchaser Representative”), and (viii) Tomoki Nagano in the capacity as the representative from and after the date hereof for the Sellers in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Seller Representative”), pursuant to which Relativity and the Operating Company will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco (such transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination” and such proposal, the “Business Combination Proposal”). A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-1;
2.
Proposal No. 2 — The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal To consider and vote upon a proposal to amend the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Relativity, as amended (the “Current Charter”), to eliminate the requirement that Relativity, or any entity that succeeds Relativity as a public company, retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the redemption of Public Shares (as defined below) in connection with the Business Combination and to authorize Relativity to redeem Public Shares in amounts that would cause Relativity’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”); and
3.
Proposal No. 3 — The Stockholders Adjournment Proposal To consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Stockholder Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or desirable, at the determination of Relativity’s board of directors (the “Relativity Board” and such proposal, the “Stockholders Adjournment Proposal”).
On December 21, 2022, Relativity’s stockholders approved the amendment to its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which it must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023, or such earlier date as is determined by Relativity’s Board of Directors (the “Relativity Board”), and to provide for up to two additional three-month extensions
 

 
(each, a “Funded Extension Period”) beyond August 15, 2023 of the period of time for Relativity to consummate an initial business combination, subject to Relativity’s provision of an aggregate of $1,000 from its working capital into Relativity’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) for each such Funded Extension Period (the “Extension”). Upon Relativity’s stockholders’ approval and the Relativity Board’s decision to extend the date by which Relativity must consummate its initial business combination to August 15, 2023, Relativity deposited an aggregate amount of $10,000 from working capital into the Trust Account. In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (approximately $10.29 per Public Share) resulting in the payment of approximately $146 million from the Trust Account, leaving approximately $1.6 million in the Trust Account and 153,295 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock outstanding held by the Public Stockholders.
On August 7, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an initial business combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an initial business combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024, which is the second of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on November 9, 2023. On January 31, 2024, Relativity filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a special meeting of stockholders to be held at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on February 13, 2024 to amend its Current Charter to extend the date by which it must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 and to amend its investment management trust agreement, dated as of February 10, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between Relativity and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), to permit the Trustee to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. On January 28, 2025, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which is has to consummate a Business Combination through the Third Extension Amendment, the Sponsor or its designees have agreed to loan to us $.18 per public share (as defined below) that is not redeemed, aggregate for the calendar year (commencing on February 15, 2025 and on the 15th day of each subsequent month) until February 15, 2026, or portion thereof (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial Business Combination (each, an “Extension Loan”). On February 13, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to extend the time by which it can complete a business combination to February 15, 2027.
As of February 15, 2026, Relativity had approximately $714,335 available in the Trust Account. If Relativity does not complete the Business Combination or another business combination by February 15, 2027, Relativity must redeem 100% of 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 Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares. The Initial Stockholders have waived any rights it may have with respect to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of Relativity with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) and the Private Placement Shares and, accordingly, in the event a business combination is not effected by Relativity by February 15, 2027, such securities would be worthless.
The Relativity Board has set February 25, 2026 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Stockholder Special Meeting. Only holders of record of shares of Relativity Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Any stockholder entitled to attend and vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting may attend the meeting in person and is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on such stockholder’s behalf. Such proxy need not be a holder of shares of Relativity Common Stock. A complete list of Relativity’s stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting will be available for ten days before the Stockholder Special Meeting at the principal executive offices of Relativity for inspection by Relativity’s stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the
 

 
Stockholder Special Meeting. The eligible Relativity stockholder list will also be available at the Stockholder Special Meeting for examination by any stockholder attending the Stockholder Special Meeting in person.
The proposals being submitted for a vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Stockholder Special Meeting, we urge you to carefully read, when available, the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including the annexes (and any documents incorporated into the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus by reference). Please pay particular attention to the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 32.
After careful consideration, the Relativity Board has determined that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Stockholders Adjournment Proposal is in the best interests of Relativity and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination. Accordingly, we expect them to vote their shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting. The Initial Stockholders own approximately 98.5% of the total outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Stockholders Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Relativity Common Stock that are voted at the Stockholder Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. The approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, the Initial Stockholders will be able to approve all of the proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, even if none of the Public Stockholders vote in favor of approving the Business Combination at the Stockholder Special Meeting. The existence of financial and personal interests of Relativity’s directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors or officers between what they may believe is in the best interests of Relativity and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the Certain Persons in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for further discussion.
Pursuant to the Current Charter, Relativity will provide the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Relativity Class A Common Stock sold in the IPO (“Public Shares”) for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, 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 Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses)), upon the closing of the Business Combination (“Redemption Rights”). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $714,335 on the Record Date, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $[       ], including interest not previously released to Relativity to pay taxes. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. A Public Stockholder, together with any such stockholder’s affiliates or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. The Initial Stockholders have agreed, for no additional consideration, to waive their Redemption Rights with respect to any shares of Relativity Common Stock they may hold. Currently, these parties own approximately 98.5% of Relativity Common Stock.
Consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal at the Stockholder Special Meeting, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. If Relativity does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by February 15, 2027 (unless extended pursuant to the terms of Relativity’s Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), Relativity will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the Public Stockholders.

SHARE CALCULATIONS AND OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGES
Unless otherwise specified (including in the sections entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities”), the share calculations and ownership percentages set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus with respect to Pubco’s stockholders following the Business Combination are for illustrative purposes only and assume the following:

There are no transfers by the Initial Stockholders of Relativity Common Stock or Relativity Private Warrants prior to the Closing.

This proxy statement/prospectus includes industry position and industry data and forecasts that Relativity and BIOT obtained or derived from internal company reports, independent third-party publications and other industry data. Some data are also based on good faith estimates, which are derived from internal company analyses or review of internal company reports as well as the independent sources referred to above. Relativity and BIOT are responsible for this information.
Although both Relativity and BIOT believe that the information on which the companies have based these estimates of industry position and industry data are generally reliable, the accuracy and completeness of this information is not guaranteed, and they have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources nor have they ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. Statements as to industry position are based on market data currently available. While Relativity and BIOT are not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry data presented herein, these estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus.
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This proxy statement/prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the respective management teams of Relativity and BIOT. Although Relativity and BIOT believe that their respective plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither Relativity nor BIOT can assure you that either will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Relativity’s and BIOT’ expectations, strategy, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus include, but are not limited to:

Relativity’s ability to consummate the Business Combination;

the expected benefits of the Business Combination;

satisfaction of the conditions to the Business Combination;

the ability of Pubco to list its securities on Nasdaq at the Closing;

the future financial and operational performance of, and anticipated financial impact on, Pubco following the Business Combination;

Pubco’s expansion plans and opportunities;

Changes in the cosmeceutical landscape;

BIOT’s relationship with current clients and suppliers;

Future tax and/or economic conditions.
These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and Relativity and BIOT management teams’ current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of Relativity, BIOT and their respective directors, officers and affiliates. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Relativity’s or BIOT’s views as of any subsequent date. Relativity does not undertake any obligation to update, add or to otherwise correct any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events, inaccuracies that become apparent after the date hereof or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
Relativity securityholders should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements in deciding how to vote (or instruct the voting of) their securities in the Special Meeting. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this proxy statement/prospectus are more fully described under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. Other sections of this proxy statement/prospectus describe additional factors that could adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of Relatively and BIOT prior to the Business Combination, and Pubco and BIOT following the Business Combination. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can Relativity or BIOT assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business of Relativity and BIOT prior to the Business Combination and Pubco and BIOT following the Business Combination, or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS
The following are answers to certain questions that you may have regarding the Business Combination and the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting. We urge you to read carefully the remainder of this proxy statement/prospectus because the information in this section may not provide all the information that might be important to you in determining how to vote. Additional important information is also contained in the annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:
What is the Business Combination?
A:
Relativity and BIOT have entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Relativity, with Relativity continuing as the surviving entity as a subsidiary of Pubco, and with security holders of Relativity receiving substantially equivalent securities of Pubco, and (ii) the Sellers will contribute all of their right, title and interest in and to the Company Interests to Pubco and receive Pubco Ordinary Shares, as a result of which the Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and Pubco will become a publicly traded company.
Relativity will hold the Stockholder Special Meeting to, among other things, obtain the approvals required for the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. You are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus in connection with such meeting. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement” beginning on page 86. In addition, a copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-1. We urge you to read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination Agreement in their entirety.
Q:
Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?
A:
Relativity is sending this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders to help them decide how to vote their shares of Relativity Common Stock and Relativity Public Warrants with respect to the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting.
The Business Combination cannot be completed unless Relativity’s stockholders approve the Business Combination Proposal, as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination and the other business to be considered by stockholders and Public Warrant Holders at the Special Meeting is contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.
This document constitutes a proxy statement of Relativity and a prospectus of Pubco. It is a proxy statement because the Relativity Board is soliciting proxies using this proxy statement/prospectus from its stockholders and Public Warrant Holders. It is a prospectus because Pubco, in connection with the Business Combination, is offering Pubco Ordinary Shares in exchange for outstanding Relativity Common Stock and in exchange for outstanding Company Interests and as part of the consideration to be received as part of the Business Combination. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination.”
Q:
What will happen to Relativity’s securities upon consummation of the Business Combination?
A:
Public Units, Relativity Class A Common Stock and Relativity Public Warrants are not currently trading. Pubco intends to apply to list the Pubco ordinary share on Nasdaq under the symbol “BIOT” and the Pubco Public Warrants under the symbol “BIOTW.” Pubco will not have units traded on Nasdaq following the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Public Units will automatically be separated into their component securities without any action needed to be taken on the part of the holders. While trading of the Pubco ordinary share and Pubco Public Warrants is expected to begin soon after the consummation of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that Pubco’s securities will be listed on Nasdaq or that a viable and active trading market will develop. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Pubco and Ownership of Pubco ordinary share — An active liquid market for Pubco’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Pubco’s securities.” There will be material differences between the current rights of Relativity stockholders and the rights you can expect to have a holder of Pubco securities, some of which may adversely affect you.

For a more detailed discussion of the differences in the rights of Relativity stockholders and holders of Pubco securities, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Comparison of Stockholder Rights.”
Q:
What will the Sellers receive in the Business Combination?
A:
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Sellers will receive newly issued Pubco ordinary share. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Proposal No. 1: The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — General Terms and Effects; Business Combination Consideration” for additional information. After the Closing, the cash remaining in the Trust Account will be released from the Trust Account and used to pay each of Relativity’s and BIOT’s transaction expenses and other liabilities of Relativity due as of the Closing. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A-1.
Q:
What equity stake will current Public Stockholders, Initial Stockholders and BIOT stockholders hold in Pubco immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

(2)
Consists of (i) 2,006,350 shares issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) 653,750 Private Placement Shares, (iii) 2,855,380 Founder Shares, (iv) 1 Class B share, and (v) 653,750 shares underlying Relativity Private Warrants.
The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above reflect different redemption scenarios set forth below:

Assuming no redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that no Public Stockholders exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares.

Assuming 50% redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that the Public Stockholders holding approximately 50% of the Public Shares exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares, which is approximately 50% of the Public Shares assumed to be redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario. This scenario assumes that 31,244 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate redemption payment of approximately $346,227, inclusive of a pro rata portion of interest accrued on the Trust Account (net of taxes payable).

Assuming maximum redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that the Public Stockholders holding approximately 100.0% of the Public Shares exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares. This scenario assumes that 62,488 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate redemption payment of approximately $692,453, inclusive of a pro rata portion of interest accrued on the Trust Account (net of taxes payable).
The percentage interests set forth above will change if there are additional sources of dilution or the actual facts different in any other manner from the assumptions incorporated in estimated ownership set forth above.
See “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
Relativity’s stockholders that elect not to redeem their Public Shares will experience significant dilution as a result of the Business Combination. Public Stockholders currently own approximately 3.5% of Relativity Common Stock. As noted above, if no Relativity stockholders redeem their Public Shares in the Business Combination and no Relativity Public Warrants are exercised, Public Stockholders will own approximately 0.2% of the total shares outstanding in Pubco. Following the Business Combination, an aggregate of up to 15,028,750 Pubco Warrants will be outstanding. Relativity stockholders who redeem their Public Shares may continue to hold any Relativity Public Warrants that they owned prior to redemption, the exercise of which would result in additional dilution to non-redeeming Relativity stockholders.
Assuming that there are maximum redemptions, or 62,488 Public Shares held by Public Stockholders are redeemed, the 14,375,000 outstanding Relativity Public Warrants would have an aggregate value of $677,062 (based on the closing price of $0.0471 per Relativity Public Warrant on January 11, 2023). See the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination — Relativity stockholders who redeem their Public Shares may continue to hold any Relativity Public Warrants that they own, which will result in dilution to non-redeeming Relativity stockholders upon exercise of such Relativity Public Warrants and Risk Factors — Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination — The Relativity Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of Relativity Common Stock or may create dilution for Public Stockholders.”
Q:
When will the Business Combination be completed?
A:
It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the Special Meeting; however, such meetings could be adjourned, as described herein. Neither Relativity nor BIOT can assure you of when or if the Business Combination will be completed, and it is possible that factors outside of the control of Relativity and BIOT could result in the Business Combination being completed at a different time or not at all. The Outside Date for consummation of the Business Combination is December 31, 2025. Before the Business Combination can be completed, Relativity must obtain the approval of Relativity stockholders for the Business Combination Proposal, and Relativity
 
xi

 
and BIOT must also obtain certain necessary regulatory approvals and satisfy other Closing conditions. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing.”
Q:
What happens if the Business Combination is not completed?
A:
If Relativity does not complete the Business Combination with BIOT for any reason, Relativity would need to search for another target business with which to complete an Initial Business Combination or determine not to extend expiration date for the completion of an Initial Business Combination.
On December 21, 2022, Relativity’s stockholders approved the Extension. Upon Relativity’s stockholders’ approval and the Relativity Board’s decision to extend the date by which Relativity must consummate its Initial Business Combination to August 15, 2023, Relativity deposited an aggregate amount of $10,000 from working capital into the Trust Account. In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (approximately $10.29 per public share) resulting in the payment of approximately $146 million from the Trust Account, leaving approximately $1.6 million in the Trust Account. On August 7, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024, which is the second of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on November 9, 2023. On January 31, 2024, Relativity filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC for a special meeting of stockholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on February 13, 2024 to amend its Current Charter to extend the date by which it must consummate its Initial Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 and to amend Trust Agreement to permit the Trustee to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. On January 28, 2025, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which is has to consummate a Business Combination through the Third Extension Amendment, the Sponsor or its designees have agreed to loan to us $.18 per public share (as defined below) that is not redeemed, aggregate for the calendar year (commencing on February 15, 2025 and on the 15th day of each subsequent month) until February 15, 2026, or portion thereof (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial Business Combination (each, an “Extension Loan”). On February 13, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to extend the time by which it can complete a business combination to February 15, 2027.
As of February 15, 2026, Relativity had approximately $714,335 available in the Trust Account. If Relativity does not complete the Business Combination or another business combination by February 15, 2027, Relativity must redeem 100% of 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 Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares. The Initial Stockholders have waived any rights it may have with respect to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of Relativity with respect to the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Shares and, accordingly, in the event an Initial Business Combination is not effected by Relativity by February 15, 2027, such securities would be worthless. Additionally, in the event of such liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to the outstanding Relativity Warrants. Accordingly, the Relativity Warrants will expire worthless.

Q:
When and where are the Special Meeting?
A:
The Stockholder Special Meeting will be held on March 25, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, the Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted via live webcast. You will be able to attend the Meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the Meeting by visiting https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/21843349607187?p=Q2TxqmuTj5WECuB2rI, or such other date, time, and place to which such meeting may be adjourned. All Relativity stockholders as of the Record Date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the Stockholder Special Meeting.
Q:
What am I being asked to vote on and why is this approval necessary?
A:
Relativity’s stockholders are being asked to vote on the following Proposals:

A Proposal to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal”;

A Proposal to adopt the amendment to Relativity’s Current Charter to eliminate the requirement that Relativity, or any entity that succeeds Relativity as a public company, retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the redemption of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination (the “Redemption Limitation”) and to authorize Relativity to redeem Public Shares in amounts that would cause Relativity’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment”). See the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 — “The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”; and

A Proposal to approve the adjournment of the Stockholder Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or desirable, at the determination of the Relativity Board. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 3 — The Stockholders Adjournment Proposal.
If Relativity’s stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Business Combination will not occur. The Initial Stockholders will be able to approve all of the Proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting, including approval of the Business Combination Proposal, even if no Public Stockholder votes in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting. The Business Combination is not conditioned on the approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal. The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.
Q:
Why is Relativity proposing the Business Combination?
A:
Relativity is blank-check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2021 for the purposes of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
Based on its due diligence investigations of BIOT and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by BIOT in the course of the parties’ negotiations in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, Relativity believes that BIOT aligns well with the objectives laid out in its investment thesis. As a result, Relativity believes that the Business Combination will provide Relativity’s stockholders with an opportunity to participate in the ownership of a publicly-listed company with significant growth potential at an attractive valuation. Stockholder approval of the Business Combination is required by the Business Combination Agreement and the Current Charter, as well as to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (b). See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — The Relativity Board’s Recommendation and Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” for additional information.
Q:
Did the Relativity Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?
A:
Yes. The Relativity Board obtained a fairness opinion from ErShares dated February 24, 2025, which provided that, as of February 24, 2025 and based on and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and
 
xiii

 
other matters set forth therein, the total consideration to be paid by Relativity in the Business Combination was fair, from a financial perspective, to the stockholders of Relativity. Relativity obtained such fairness opinion to (i) inform themselves with respect to all material information reasonably available to them and (ii) act with appropriate care in considering the Business Combination. For additional information, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of ErShares as Fairness Opinion Provider” and the opinion of ErShares attached hereto as Annex E for additional information.
Q:
Do I have Redemption Rights?
A:
If you are a holder of Public Shares, you have the right to demand that Relativity redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account (including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses)), calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, upon the Closing of the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of 15% held by a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed.
Q:
Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise Redemption Rights?
A:
No. You may exercise your Redemption Rights whether you vote your Public Shares for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, the Business Combination Proposal can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their Public Shares and no longer remain stockholder, and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Stockholders. Also, with fewer shares of common stock and Public Stockholders, the trading market for Pubco ordinary share may be less liquid than the market for Relativity Class A Common Stock prior to the Business Combination, and Pubco may not be able to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq. In addition, with fewer funds available from the Trust Account, the capital infusion from the Trust Account into Pubco’s business will be reduced.
Q:
How do I exercise my Redemption Rights?
A:
If you are a Public Stockholder and wish to exercise your Redemption Rights, you must demand that Relativity redeem your shares for cash no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 23, 2026 by delivering your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent physically or electronically using the DWAC System prior to the vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting. Holders of Public Units must elect to separate such units into the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Public Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Public Units into underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Public Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct them to do so. Any holder of Public Shares (other than the Initial Stockholders) will be entitled to demand that such holder’s Public Shares be redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was approximately $714,335, or $[       ] per share, as of the Record Date). Such amount, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), if any, will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of Relativity’s creditors, if any, which could have
 
xiv

 
priority over the claims of Public Stockholders, regardless of whether such Public Stockholders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any Proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your Redemption Rights.
Any written demand of Redemption Rights must be received by the Transfer Agent prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Stockholder Special Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent prior to the vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting.
If a holder of Public Shares properly makes a request for redemption and the certificates for the Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms are delivered as described to Transfer Agent as described herein, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, Relativity will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account. If you exercise your Redemption Rights, then you will be exchanging your Public Shares for cash.
Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time, with Relativity’s consent, until the closing of the Business Combination. If Relativity receives valid redemption requests from holders of Public Shares prior to the redemption deadline, Relativity may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing, seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. Relativity may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors it may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account. If a holder of Public Shares delivered its Public Shares for redemption to the Transfer Agent and decides within the required timeframe not to exercise its Redemption Rights, it may request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:
What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my Redemption Rights?
A:
In the event that a U.S. Holder elects to redeem its Public Shares for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as sale or exchange of the Public Shares under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the Public Shares, the U.S. Holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Public Shares surrendered in such redemption transaction. 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 Public Shares redeemed exceeds one year. 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.
See the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights to U.S. Holders” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a U.S. Holder electing to redeem its Public Shares for cash.
Q:
Will holders of Public Units, Relativity Public Warrants or Public Shares be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the Pubco ordinary shares received in the Business Combination?
A:
Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination,” the parties to the Business Combination intend that the Business Combination qualify as a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 351 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The requirements for tax-free treatment are complex and qualification for such treatment could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur following the Business Combination
 
xv

 
that are beyond Relativity and Pubco’s control. To the extent the Business Combination does not so qualify, it could result in the imposition of substantial taxes to the holders of Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants.
Moreover, Section 367(a) of the Code and the applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder provide that, where a U.S. person exchanges stock or securities in a U.S. corporation for stock or securities in a non-U.S. (“foreign”) corporation in a transaction that qualifies as a reorganization, the U.S. person is required to recognize any gain, but not loss, realized on such exchange unless certain additional requirements are met. There are significant factual and legal uncertainties concerning the determination of whether these requirements will be satisfied and there is limited guidance as to their application, particularly with regard to indirect stock transfers in cross-border reorganizations.
The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Relativity Public Warrants in connection with the Business Combination is uncertain. It is possible that a U.S. Holder of Relativity Public Warrants could be treated as exchanging such Relativity 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 Relativity 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 Relativity Public Warrants could be treated as transferring its Relativity Public Warrants and Relativity 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 Relativity Public Warrants and Relativity 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.
If the Business Combination qualifies as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code and the requirements of Section 367(a) of the Code described above are satisfied, and subject to the discussion above regarding Relativity Public Warrants, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Relativity securities in the Business Combination for Pubco ordinary shares generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange. In such case, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Pubco ordinary shares received in the Business Combination by a U.S. Holder should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the Relativity securities surrendered in the Business Combination in exchange therefor. The holding period of the Pubco ordinary shares should include the holding period of the Relativity securities surrendered in the Business Combination in exchange therefor.
If the Business Combination does not qualify as a tax-free exchange, then a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants, as applicable, for Pubco ordinary shares pursuant to the Business Combination will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the Pubco ordinary shares received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants exchanged.
The tax consequences of the Business Combination are complex and will depend on your particular circumstances. For a more detailed discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination, see the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Holders should consult their own 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.
Q:
Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination?
A:
No. Neither Relativity stockholders nor Relativity warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL.

Q:
What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?
A:
The net proceeds of the IPO, together with funds raised from the sale of Private Placement Units simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, was placed in the Trust Account immediately following the IPO. After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay Public Stockholders who exercise Redemption Rights and fees, loans and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination.
The total amount of fees, loans and expenses expected to be paid in connection with the Business Combination is expected to be approximately $2.456 million, which will exceed the amount remaining in the Trust Account following redemptions by a minimum of $1,763,886 million, which assumes that no Public Stockholders elect to exercise Redemption Rights. Pubco intends to pay the difference by utilizing cash available on-hand or through financing from the sale of the securities of Pubco or BIOT. However, there can be no assurance that Pubco or BIOT will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to Pubco or BIOT. Moreover, this payment may have a negative effect on Pubco’s ability to grow its business after Closing in the manner described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” See also “Risk Factors — Risk Related to Operational Factors Affecting BIOT — BIOT’s ability to generate sufficient cash depends on numerous factors beyond our control, and BIOT may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations” and — “BIOT’s ability to achieve long-term growth objectives, execute its business plan maintain and expand our operations, and invest in our business, maintain and expand our operations and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available” and — “Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination — Unlike some other blank check companies, Relativity does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold will make it easier for Relativity to consummate the Business Combination even if a substantial number of its stockholders redeem their shares.”
Q:
What happens if a substantial number of Public Stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their Redemption Rights?
A:
Public Stockholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination and still exercise their Redemption Rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Stockholders. If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not passed at the Stockholder Special Meeting, in no event will Relativity redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its (or Pubco’s, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement) net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as provided in the Current Charter.
If a Public Stockholder exercises its Redemption Rights, such exercise will not result in the loss of any warrants that it may hold. Assuming that there are maximum redemptions, or 0 Public Shares held by Public Stockholders are redeemed, the 14,375,000 retained outstanding Relativity Public Warrants would have had an aggregate value of $677,062 (based on the closing price of $0.0471 per Relativity Public Warrant on January 11th, 2023). If a substantial number of, but not all, Public Stockholders exercise their Redemption Rights, any non-redeeming stockholders would experience dilution to the extent such warrants are exercised and additional Pubco Ordinary Shares are issued.
If the Business Combination is completed notwithstanding redemptions, Pubco will have fewer Pubco Ordinary Shares outstanding and fewer Public Stockholders. With fewer Pubco Ordinary Shares and fewer Public Stockholders, the trading market for Pubco ordinary share may be less liquid than the market for the Public Shares was prior to the Business Combination, and Pubco may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq. If Pubco’s securities are not approved for listing on Nasdaq and certain other closing conditions are not met or waived among the parties, the Business Combination will not close. In addition, with fewer funds available from the Trust Account, the working capital infusion from the Trust Account into Pubco’s business will be reduced. See “Risk Factors” and the Q&A above for more details.

Q:
Do the Sponsor or any of Relativity’s directors or officers have interests that may conflict with my interests with Respect to the Business Combination?
A:
In considering the recommendation of the Relativity Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Relativity’s stockholders generally, including the aggregate amount of $6,562,500 at risk to the Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsor), which is the amount that the Initial Stockholders paid for their Founder Shares and the Sponsor paid for the Private Placement Units. Relativity’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to the Public Stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Further, the interests of members of the Sponsor and current officers or directors of Relativity may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests and may be incentivized to complete a less favorable business combination rather than liquidating Relativity. Public 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:

if Relativity does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), it would either need stockholders to vote for an Extension of such date or cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the Relativity Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders, which were initially acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. The aggregate value of the Founder Shares is estimated to be approximately $29,859,925, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $7.03 closing price of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and are expected to have a significantly higher value than $25,000 at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination). As a result, the Initial Stockholders are likely to be able to recoup their investment in Relativity and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if after the Closing Pubco ordinary share loses significant value. This means that the Initial Stockholders could earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-Business Combination company. Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination (such as the Business Combination) rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. Each of the 653,750 Relativity Private Warrants included in the Private Placement Units is exercisable to purchase one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. If we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination transaction by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), then a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless. The Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units has an aggregate market value of approximately $4,595,863 based upon the closing price of $7.03 of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,492,213 based upon the closing price of $12.99 per Public Unit on Nasdaq on January 11, 2023, the date the units stopped trading (the “Trading Halt”). Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in

the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have agreed, as part of the IPO and to induce Relativity and the underwriters to enter into the underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO, not to redeem any shares of Relativity Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed Initial Business Combination;

in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify Relativity if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Relativity, 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 (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable (which interest will be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (or such other date as approved by Relativity’s stockholders), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to Relativity’s Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless;

the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Public Stockholders vote, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced;

following consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor, Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an Initial Business Combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, on such terms as to be determined by Relativity from time to time, made by Sponsor or certain of Relativity’s officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. However, if Relativity fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within the required period, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. However, there have been no material out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement to date and Relativity does not anticipate any such expenses prior to Closing;

following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Relativity and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Relativity for working capital expenses;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the required period, it may use a portion of its working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans;

the Sponsor will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement at Closing, which provides for registration rights of the Sponsor and certain other stockholders following consummation of the Business Combination; and

Relativity’s 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 Business Combination Agreement.
 
xix

 
These interests, which create actual and potential conflicts of interest further described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.” Accordingly, these interests may have influenced Relativity Board in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. The members of the Relativity Board were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the Business Combination and recommended that Relativity’s stockholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. The Relativity Board determined that the overall benefits expected to be received by Relativity and its stockholders in the Business Combination outweighed any potential risk created by the conflicts stemming from these interests. In addition, the Relativity Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and these interests are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, and that stockholders could take them into consideration when deciding whether to vote in favor of the proposals set forth herein, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Relativity with any other target business or businesses, (iii) the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco, which may be affected by various other factors other than these interests and (iv) Relativity retained ErShares to provide a fairness opinion to the Relativity Board in connection with the Business Combination and, on February 24, 2025 ErShares delivered its opinion to the Relativity Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For a description of the opinion issued by ErShares to the Relativity Board, please see the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of ErShares as Fairness Opinion Provider.” In addition, Relativity’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation of the Business Combination and in unanimously approving, as members of the Relativity Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Q:
Does Relativity currently have any plans to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties?
Our Sponsor may enter into one or more non-redemption agreements with certain stockholders which would provide for the allocation of Relativity Class A Common Stock in exchange for the stockholder agreeing to hold and not redeem certain public shares (“Non-Redemption Agreements”). We have not begun such conversation with certain stockholders regarding such Non-Redemption Agreements, nor have executed any such agreements at this time.
At this time, there are no negotiations for, or conditional intent to enter into any, additional financings. Any such financing will have a dilutive impact on Public Stockholders’ equity stake and voting power.
Q:
How do the Initial Stockholders intend to vote on the Proposals at the Stockholder Special Meeting?
A:
The Initial Stockholders own of record and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 98.5% of the outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock. The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced. Accordingly, the Initial Stockholders will be able to approve all of the Proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting, including approval of the Business Combination Proposal, even if no Public Stockholder votes in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders. Any such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:
 
xx

 

if Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates were to purchase Relativity Shares on the open market from Relativity Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through Relativity’s redemption process;

any Relativity Shares purchased by Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Proposals;

Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to the Relativity Shares or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights;

Relativity would disclose in a Form 8-K, prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting, the following items:

the amount of Relativity Shares purchased outside of the redemption offer by Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

the purpose of the purchases by Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates;

the impact, if any, of the purchases by Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates on the likelihood that the Proposals will be approved;

the identities of Relativity security holders who sold to Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of Company security holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates; and

the number of Relativity Shares for which Relativity has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.
Q:
What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?
A:
A majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of Relativity entitled to vote as of the Record Date at the Stockholder Special Meeting must be represented in person or by proxy at the Stockholder Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The Initial Stockholders, who currently own approximately 98.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, will count towards this quorum. Because all of the Proposals to be voted on at the Stockholder Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters, banks, brokers and other nominees will not have authority to vote on any Proposals unless instructed, so Relativity does not expect there to be any broker non-votes at the Stockholder Special Meeting. As a result, as of the Record Date, in addition to the Initial Stockholders, no additional holders of Relativity Common Stock would be required to be present at the Stockholder Special Meeting to achieve a quorum.
Q:
What vote is required to approve each Proposal at the Special Meeting?
A:
The Business Combination Proposal:
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Relativity Common Stock that are voted at the Stockholder Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the Business Combination Proposal. Relativity stockholders must approve the Business Combination Proposal in order for the Business Combination to occur. The transaction is not structured so that approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated security holders of Relativity is required. If Relativity stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Business Combination will not occur.
The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal:
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.
 
xxi

 
The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal:
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Relativity Common Stock that are voted at the Stockholder Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.
The Initial Stockholders will be able to approve all of the Proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, even if no Public Stockholder votes in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal at the Stockholder Special Meeting.
Q:
Do any of Relativity’s directors or officers have interests in the Business Combination that may differ from or be in addition to the interests of Relativity’s stockholders?
A:
Relativity’s officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Relativity’s stockholders generally. The Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Relativity’s stockholders generally, including the aggregate amount of $6,562,500 at risk to the Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsor), which is the amount that the Initial Stockholders paid for their Founder Shares and the Sponsor paid for the Private Placement Units. The Relativity Board was aware of and considered these interests to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the Business Combination Agreement and in recommending that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby be approved by the stockholders of Relativity. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”
Q:
What do I need to do now?
A:
After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, please submit your proxies as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at the Stockholder Special Meeting. Please follow the instructions set forth on the proxy card or on the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee if your shares or warrants are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee.
Q:
How do I vote?
A:
If you are a stockholder of record of Relativity as of the Record Date, you may submit your proxy before the Stockholder Special Meeting, complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will send you separate instructions describing the procedure for voting your shares. “Street name” stockholders who wish to vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from their broker, bank or other nominee.
Q:
 How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?
A:
Relativity’s stockholders and Public Warrant Holders are each entitled to one vote at their respective Special Meeting for each share of Relativity Common Stock or each Relativity Public Warrant held of record as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 4,309,988 outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock outstanding.
Q:
If my shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, will my broker, bank or other nominee vote my shares for me?
A:
As discussed above, if your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Please note that you may not vote shares in “street name” by returning a proxy card directly to
 
xxii

 
Relativity or by voting online at the Special Meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee.
Under the rules of Nasdaq, brokers who hold securities in “street name” for a beneficial owner of those securities typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are not permitted to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that Nasdaq determines to be “non-routine” without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. It is expected that all Proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters, and therefore, Relativity does not expect there to be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.
If you are a Relativity stockholder holding your shares in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares on the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting.
Q:
What if I attend either of the Special Meeting and abstain or do not vote?
A:
For purposes of the Special Meeting, an abstention occurs when a securityholder attends the meeting and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” vote.
If you are a Relativity stockholder that attends the Stockholder Special Meeting in person and fails to vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal, your failure to vote will have no effect on the vote count. If you are a Relativity stockholder that attends the Stockholder Special Meeting in person and you respond to such proposals with an “abstain” vote, your “abstain” vote will have no effect on any of the Proposals.
If you are a Relativity stockholder that attends the Stockholder Special Meeting in person and fails to vote on the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, your failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. If you are a Relativity stockholder that attends the Stockholder Special Meeting in person and you respond to such Proposals with an “abstain” vote, your “abstain” vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.
Q:
What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote?
A:
If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular Proposal, the Relativity shares represented by your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Relativity Board with respect to that Proposal.
Q:
May I change my vote after I have delivered my proxy or voting instruction card?
A:
Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at either of the Special Meeting. You may do this in one of three ways:

filing a notice with Relativity or its proxy solicitor;

mailing a new, subsequently dated proxy card; or

by attending the Special Meeting and electing to vote your shares.
If you are a stockholder of record of Relativity and you choose to send a written notice or to mail a new proxy, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy to Relativity Acquisition Corp., 3753 Howard Hughes Pkwy, Suite 200, Las Vegas, Nevada 89169, and it must be received at any time before the vote is taken at the Special Meeting. Any proxy that you submitted may also be revoked by submitting a new proxy by mail, or online or by telephone, not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on December 5, 2025, or by voting at the Special Meeting. Simply attending the Special Meeting will not revoke your proxy. If you have instructed a broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares of Relativity Common, you must follow the directions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee in order to change or revoke your vote.

Q:
What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the Special Meeting?
A:
If you fail to take any action with respect to the Stockholder Special Meeting and the Business Combination is approved by stockholders and consummated, you will become a stockholder of Pubco. Failure to take any action with respect to the Stockholder Special Meeting will not affect your ability to exercise your Redemption Rights. If you fail to take any action with respect to the Stockholder Special Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will continue to be a stockholder of Relativity while Relativity searches for another target business with which to complete an Initial Business Combination.
Q:
What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?
A:
Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials for their respective Special Meeting, 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 under more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card for the Special Meeting. 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 yourshares.
Q:
Whom should I contact if I have any questions about the proxy materials or voting?
A:
If you have questions about the Proposals or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement/prospectus or the enclosed proxy card you should contact Relativity’s proxy solicitor at:

To better understand the Proposals to be submitted for a vote at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, you should read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. The Business Combination Agreement is the legal document that governs the Business Combination and the other transactions that will be undertaken in connection with the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement is also described in detail in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement.” This proxy statement/prospectus also includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”
In this section “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Relativity prior to the Business Combination and to Pubco following the Business Combination.
The Parties to the Business Combination
Relativity Acquisition Corp.
Relativity is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware exempted company 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 February 15, 2022, Relativity completed its initial public offering of 14,375,000 units (including 1,875,000 units offered in connection with the full exercise of underwriters’ overallotment options), with each unit consisting of one Public Share and one Relativity Public Warrant. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the overallotment option, Relativity consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. A total of $146,625,000 of the net proceeds of the sale of Public Units and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in the Trust Account for the benefit of the purchasers of the Public Units in the IPO.
On December 21, 2022, Relativity held the Extension Meeting at which Public Stockholders holding 14,221,705 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (approximately $10.29 per Public Share). Following the redemptions, there were 153,295 Public Shares outstanding and a total of 807,045 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock outstanding, including the 653,750 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units that were beneficially owned by the Sponsor.
On February 27, 2023, Relativity issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock to the Initial Stockholders upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock. These Relativity Class A Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Relativity Class B Common Stock before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of Redemption Rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an Initial Business Combination, as described in the prospectus for the IPO. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one share of Relativity Class B Common Stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock to certain members of the Sponsor.
Since the completion of the IPO, Relativity’s activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.
On December 21, 2022, Relativity’s stockholders approved the Extension. Upon Relativity’s stockholders’ approval and the Relativity Board’s decision to extend the date by which Relativity must consummate its Initial Business Combination to August 15, 2023, Relativity deposited an aggregate amount of $10,000 from working capital into the Trust Account. In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (approximately $10.29 per public share) resulting in the payment of approximately $146 million from the Trust Account, leaving approximately $1.6 million in

the Trust Account and 153,295 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock outstanding held by the Public Stockholders. On August 7, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024, which is the second of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on November 9, 2023. On January 31, 2024, Relativity filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC for a special meeting of stockholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on February 13, 2024 to amend its Current Charter to extend the date by which it must consummate its Initial Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 and to amend Trust Agreement to permit the Trustee to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. On January 28, 2025, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which is has to consummate a Business Combination through the Third Extension Amendment, the Sponsor or its designees have agreed to loan to us $.18 per public share (as defined below) that is not redeemed, aggregate for the calendar year (commencing on February 15, 2025 and on the 15th day of each subsequent month) until February 15, 2026, or portion thereof (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial Business Combination (each, an “Extension Loan”). On February 13, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to extend the time by which it can complete a business combination to February 15, 2027.
As of February 15, 2026, Relativity had approximately $714,335 available in the Trust Account. If Relativity does not complete the Business Combination or another business combination by February 15, 2027, Relativity must redeem 100% of 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 Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares. The Initial Stockholders have waived any rights it may have with respect to any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of any liquidation of Relativity with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) and the Private Placement Shares and, accordingly, in the event a business combination is not effected by Relativity by February 15, 2027, such securities would be worthless.
Further, Relativity has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans, including the Business Combination. Relativity cannot assure you that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an Initial Business Combination, including the Business Combination, will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Public Units, Relativity Class A Common Stock, and Relativity Public Warrants are not listed.
Relativity’s principal executive office is located at 3753 Howard Hughes Pkwy, Suite 200, Las Vegas, Nevada 89169, and its telephone is (888) 710-4420.

Related Agreements
Lock-Up Agreements

Escrow Requirements: 500,000 Sponsor Subscriber Class A Common Stock Shares shall be escrowed by the combined company for twelve months (365 days) following the business combination for transaction expenses related to Relativity.
Transaction Expense Coverage: 500,000 Class A Common Stock held by sponsor subscribers, will be escrowed by the combined company for six (12) months to cover transaction expenses related to Relativity.
At closing of the business combination the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock and private placement shares and warrants, held by Private Placement Unit holders, other than current officers or directors of the combined company, subject to restrictions and provisions of the lock-up agreement, will be reduced by the number of shares held by holders of private placement units, resulting in 5,367,000 additional unrestricted shares of Pubco Common Stock, which will help Pubco meet Nasdaq’s initial and continued listing standards, and is expected to increase liquidity and secondary trading.
As a condition to the IPO, the Sponsor Subscribers entered into the IPO Letter Agreement in which they agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, would not transfer any shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock (or shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of an Initial Business Combination (such as the Business Combination) or (B) subsequent to an Initial Business Combination (such as the Business Combination), (x) if the last reported sale price of the post-business combination company’s 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 90 days after Relativity’s Initial Business Combination or (y) the date on which the post-business combination company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (the “IPO Letter Lock-Up”).
Non-Competition Agreement
The Founder will enter into certain Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (“Non-Competition Agreement”) in favor of Pubco, the Operating Company and their direct and indirect subsidiaries and their respective present and future successors and direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Covered Parties”), to be effective as of the Closing. Under the Non-Competition Agreement, the signatory thereto will agree not to, without Pubco’s prior written consent, compete with the Covered Parties for a period of three (3) years following the Closing and, during such three-year restricted period, not to solicit employees or customers of the Covered Parties. The Non-Competition Agreement will also contain customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.
A&R Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco, the Initial Stockholders, Sponsor and the Sellers will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Pubco will be required to register for resale securities held by the stockholders party thereto. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the stockholders party thereto will also be provided with certain “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights. Pubco will bear certain expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will amend and restate the IPO Registration Rights Agreement.

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above reflect different redemption scenarios set forth below:

Assuming no redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that no Public Stockholders exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares.

Assuming 50% redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that the Public Stockholders holding approximately 50% of the Public Shares exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares, which is approximately 50% of the Public Shares assumed to be redeemed under the
 
9

 
maximum redemption scenario. This scenario assumes that 31,244 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate redemption payment of approximately $346,277, inclusive of a pro rata portion of interest accrued on the Trust Account (net of taxes payable).

Assuming maximum redemption scenario:   This presentation assumes that the Public Stockholders holding approximately 100.0% of the Public Shares exercise Redemption Rights with respect to their Public Shares. This scenario assumes that 62,488 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate redemption payment of approximately $692,453, inclusive of a pro rata portion of interest accrued on the Trust Account (net of taxes payable).
The percentage interests set forth above will change if there are additional sources of dilution or the actual facts differ in any other manner from the assumptions incorporated in estimated ownership set forth above. See “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
Relativity’s stockholders that elect not to redeem their Public Shares will experience significant dilution as a result of the Business Combination. Public Stockholders currently own approximately 1.2% of Relativity Common Stock. As noted above, if no Relativity stockholders redeem their Public Shares in the Business Combination and no Relativity Public Warrants are exercised, Public Stockholders will own approximately 0.2% of the total shares outstanding in Pubco, Everise Concepts PLT, an advisory firm to the Target Company, will own approximately 1.04% of the total shares outstanding in Pubco, representing finder’s fees payable in Pubco ordinary shares with value equal to 2% of the aggregate Contribution Consideration for the Business Combination. Following the Business Combination, an aggregate of up to 15,028,750 Pubco Warrants will be outstanding. Relativity stockholders who redeem their Public Shares may continue to hold any Relativity Public Warrants that they owned prior to redemption, the exercise of which would result in additional dilution to non-redeeming Relativity stockholders.
Assuming that there are maximum redemptions, the 14,375,000 outstanding Relativity Public Warrants would have an aggregate value of $677,063 (based on the closing price of $0.0471 per Relativity Public Warrant on January 11, 2023,). See the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination — Relativity stockholders who redeem their Public Shares may continue to hold any Relativity Public Warrants that they own, which will result in dilution to non-redeeming Relativity stockholders upon exercise of such Relativity Public Warrants and Risk Factors — Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination — The Relativity Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of Relativity Common Stock or may create dilution for Public Stockholders.”
Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination
The following table summarizes the sources and uses for funding the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, assuming (i) none of the Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) the maximum number of Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination while still satisfying the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

as independent directors and the total number of directors of Pubco will be increased to seven persons. For more information, see the section entitled “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination.”
Proposal No. 2:   The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal
The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is a proposal to approve the amendment to Relativity’s Current Charter to eliminate the requirement that Relativity, or any entity that succeeds Relativity as a public company, retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the redemption of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination and to authorize Relativity to redeem Public Shares in amounts that would cause Relativity’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.
For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.”
Proposal No. 3:   The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal
The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal allows the Relativity Board to submit a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Stockholder Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or desirable, at the determination of the Relativity Board. For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Proposal No. 3 — The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.
Compensation Received by the Sponsor
Set forth below is a summary of the terms and amount of the compensation received or to be received by the Sponsor and its affiliates in connection with the Business Combination or any related financing transaction, the amount of securities issued or to be issued by Relativity to the Sponsor and its affiliates and the price paid or to be paid for such securities or any related financing transaction.

Interest in Securities
Other Compensation
Sponsor On February 27, 2023, Purchaser issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Class A Common Stock to its Sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Founder Shares, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock that were originally purchased for $25,000. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Class A Common Stock and one share of Class B Common Stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Class A Common Stock to certain members of the Sponsor. The Sponsor currently holds 2,855,380 shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted from Class B Common Stock and one share of Class B Common Stock. At closing, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco will use cash from the Trust Account to pay Relativity transaction expenses and to reimburse or pay Sponsor or its affiliates for any outstanding loans or other obligations of Relativity to Sponsor or its affiliates. Relativity currently estimates that the total amount payable for Relativity transaction expenses and any outstanding loans or other obligations of Relativity to Sponsor is approximately $       million.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. Each of the 653,750 Relativity Private Warrants included in the Private Placement Units is exercisable to purchase one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Any working capital loans are to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Such working capital loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, upon consummation of the initial business combination. If the maximum amount of $1,500,000 working capital loans is converted into 150,000 Private Placement Units upon consummation of the initial business combination, Sponsor will receive an additional 150,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of these additional Private Placement Units. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units that the Sponsor purchased in connection with the closing of the IPO.
The retention of shares by Sponsor and the reimbursements payable to Sponsor at Closing will not result in a material dilution of the equity interests of non-redeeming public shareholders of Relativity. See “Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
The Special Meeting
The Stockholder Special Meeting will be held on March 25, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, the Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted via live webcast. You will be able to attend the Meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the Meeting by visiting https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/21843349607187?p=Q2TxqmuTj5WECuB2rI, or such other date, time, and place to which such meeting may be adjourned.
At the Stockholder Special Meeting, Relativity’s stockholders will be asked to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal (if necessary).
 
13

 
The Relativity Board has fixed the close of business on February 25, 2026 as the Record Date for determining the holders of Relativity Common Stock entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 4,400,795 shares of Relativity Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting. Each share of Relativity Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on each Proposal to be considered at the Stockholder Special Meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly voted.
A majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of Relativity entitled to vote as of the Record Date at the Stockholder Special Meeting must be represented in person or by proxy at the Stockholder Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Stockholder Special Meeting. Abstentions will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The Initial Stockholders, who currently own approximately 96.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, will count towards this quorum.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Relativity Common Stock that are voted at the Stockholder Special Meeting, voting together as a single class at a meeting at which a quorum is present, is required to approve each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.
The approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, voting together as a single class.
As of the Record Date, the Initial Stockholders owned and were entitled to vote 4,247,500 shares of Relativity Common Stock, representing approximately 96.5% of the shares of Relativity Common Stock outstanding on that date. The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced.
Accordingly, the Initial Stockholders will be able to approve all of the Proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting, including approval of the Business Combination Proposal, even if no Public Stockholder votes in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal or the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal at the Stockholder Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, BIOT did not beneficially hold any shares of Relativity Common Stock.
Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination
For a description of Relativity’s reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the recommendation of the Relativity Board, see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination — The Relativity Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”
The Relativity Board also gave consideration to certain risks related to the Business Combination, which are described in this proxy statement/prospectus under the caption “Risk Factors.”
Recommendation to Relativity’s Stockholders
The Relativity Board has determined that the Business Combination Proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Relativity and its stockholders, has unanimously approved the Business Combination Proposal, and recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and “FOR” the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting.
The key factors considered by the Board included the following:

Financial Fitness & Profitability as a Biotech
 
14

 

Unlike many biotech companies that operate with long research cycles and heavy burn rates, BIOT has a revenue-generating business model with existing cash flows.

The company’s low capital expenditure requirements and strong margins in regenerative therapies and skincare reduce risk for public market investors.

BIOT achieves profitability without reliance on speculative drug development pipelines, a major differentiator for SPAC investors evaluating biotech targets.

Long-Term Growth Potential in Regenerative Medicine

The global regenerative medicine market is experiencing significant expansion, driven by advancements in stem cell therapies and increasing demand for anti-aging solutions.

BIOT is positioned to capitalize on this growth by offering scientifically backed treatments and skincare solutions with proven efficacy.

Leadership in Stem Cell-Based Skincare & Japan’s Market Influence

The stem cell-based skincare segment is a fast-growing niche within beauty and cosmeceuticals, offering high-margin product lines.

Japan is recognized globally for skincare innovation and consumer trust, positioning BIOT to leverage brand credibility for domestic and international expansion.

Favorable Regulatory Environment in Japan for Regenerative Medicine

Japan has a progressive and well-defined regulatory framework that supports regenerative medicine, expediting approvals for treatments.

The streamlined process enhances BIOT’s ability to commercialize new therapies faster than competitors in other regions.

Proprietary Competitive Advantages & Innovation

Exclusive long-term supply agreements for stem cell-derived ingredients provide a significant moat against competition.

Proprietary cell culture techniques and partnerships in regenerative research allow BIOT to maintain a cutting-edge position in the industry.

International Expansion & Global Market Penetration

Japan’s reputation for medical and cosmetic excellence will allow BIOT to enter global markets through premium product positioning.

The company is actively exploring licensing agreements, direct-to-consumer sales, and clinical partnerships to expand internationally.

Attractive Valuation & Financial Strength

The transaction values BIOT at approximately $200 – $250 million, aligning with market comps for high-growth biotech firms.

Strong revenue visibility, existing sales channels, and clear profitability milestones make this an attractive investment relative to traditional biotech SPAC targets.

Capital-Efficient Business Model Supporting Faster Profitability

BIOT does not rely on lengthy and expensive drug trials — its treatments and skincare products generate revenue immediately.

Recurring revenue streams from skincare sales, clinical procedures, and licensing fees support predictable financial growth.

Attractive Unit Economics in Clinical Operations

BIOT’s clinic model reaches breakeven rapidly, ensuring high returns on investment.
 
15

 

Modular clinic designs allow for low-cost expansion, enabling rapid market penetration without heavy upfront capital expenditures.

High Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) & Recurring Revenue Model

Regenerative medicine patients require ongoing treatments, ensuring repeat visits and sustained revenue streams.

The combination of clinical treatments and stem-cell-based skincare products enhances patient retention and long-term value.

Early-Mover Advantage in Regenerative Medicine

As an early player in perinatal stem cell commercialization, BIOT establishes a leadership position before market saturation.

The company’s first-mover advantage allows it to secure exclusive partnerships and brand credibility before competitors catch up.

Favorable Demographics & Rising Demand for Anti-Aging Solutions

Aging global populations are driving massive demand for regenerative and anti-aging therapies.

BIOT is well-positioned to meet this demand with scientifically validated treatments tailored to longevity-focused consumers.

Ownership of Manufacturing & Vertical Integration

By controlling manufacturing, BIOT ensures cost efficiency, supply chain reliability, and product quality.

Ownership of proprietary manufacturing facilities enhances profitability and protects against external supply disruptions.

Strategic Acquisition & Partnership Potential

The company is an attractive acquisition target for pharmaceutical and beauty conglomerates seeking a foothold in regenerative medicine.

Exclusive partnerships in manufacturing and licensing create additional revenue streams beyond direct-to-consumer sales.

Strong ESG & Societal Appeal

Investors are increasingly focused on ESG-friendly investments, and regenerative medicine aligns with health-focused impact investing.

BIOT’s ethical sourcing and sustainability initiatives in stem cell research position it as a leader in responsible innovation.

Public Financing Accelerates Growth

Unlike many biotech companies that require heavy R&D funding before they generate revenues, BIOT is revenue-generating, reducing dilution risk for public investors.

Access to public capital will be used strategically for geographic expansion and product development, rather than funding basic research.

Expansion Through Strategic Acquisitions

As a public company, BIOT gains access to capital markets for M&A activity in regenerative medicine and biotech.

The company can acquire complementary businesses in a fragmented market to expand its product offerings and market share.

Rapid Deployment of Regenerative Technologies

The company’s agile business model allows for rapid integration of new stem cell-based treatments as they emerge.
 
16

 

Unlike larger pharmaceutical companies with bureaucratic R&D processes, BIOT adapts quickly to market needs.

Enhanced Margin Control Through Vertical Integration

Owning both R&D and manufacturing helps BIOT maintain high margins while controlling costs.

Direct-to-consumer sales, clinical revenues, and licensing fees enhance profitability while reducing reliance on a single revenue stream.
The Relativity Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including but not limited to the following:

Business risk.   The risk that the future financial performance of BIOT may not be consistent with illustrative market sizing analyses provided by BIOT due to factors in BIOT’s control or out of BIOT’s control, such as market acceptance of its products, BIOT’s failure to attract and retain customers, to adapt to new businesses environment, to comply with relevant government regulations, to obtain sufficient capital, among others, and the risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

Corporate governance risks and costs.   The fact that BIOT has been operating as a private company, which does not explicitly require the level of comprehensive corporate governance investors expect to see in a Nasdaq-listed business, and the costs, time and effort that BIOT may incur to strengthen its infrastructure and governance framework.

Closing of the Business Combination may not occur.   The risks and costs to Relativity if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources to other business combination opportunities, which could result in Relativity being unable to affect a business combination within the timeframe set forth under Relativity’s current charter, forcing Relativity to liquidate the trust account.

Current public shareholders exercising redemption rights.   The risk that some of Relativity’s current public shareholders would decide to exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available in the trust account.

Closing conditions of the Business Combination.   The fact that the Closing is conditioned on satisfying certain closing conditions, many of which are not within Relativity’s control.

Relativity shareholders not holding a majority position in the Combined Company.   The fact that Relativity shareholders will not hold a majority position in the Combined Company following the Business Combination, which may reduce the influence that Relativity’s current shareholders have on the Combined Company’s management.

Litigation related to the Business Combination.   The risk of potential litigation challenging the Business Combination, which could enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

Transaction fees and expenses incurred by Relativity.   The substantial transaction fees and expenses to be incurred in connection with the Business Combination and the negative impact of such expenses on Relativity’s cash reserves and operating results if the Business Combination is not completed.

Negative impact resulting from the announcement of the Business Combination.   The possible negative effect of the Business Combination and public announcement of the Business Combination of Relativity’s financial performance, operating results, and share price.

Other risks.   Other factors that the Relativity Board deemed relevant, including various other risks associated with the Business Combination, Relativity’s business, and BIOT’s business as described under “Risk Factors.”
Redemption Rights
Public Stockholders may seek to redeem the Public Shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for the Business Combination, against the Business Combination or do not vote in relation to the
 
17

 
Business Combination. Any Public Stockholder may request redemption of their Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (less taxes paid or payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.
The Initial stockholders will not have Redemption Rights with respect to any Relativity Common Stock owned by them, directly or indirectly.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:
(i)
hold (a) Public Shares or (b) Public Units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
(ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 23, 2026, (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that Relativity redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your share certificates for your Public Shares (if any) to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.
Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time, with Relativity’s consent, until the closing of the Business Combination. If Relativity receives valid redemption requests from holders of Public Shares prior to the redemption deadline, Relativity may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing, seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. Relativity may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors we may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account, following payment of the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy any redemptions and payment of all Relativity and BIOT transaction expenses. If a holder of Public Shares delivered its Public Shares for redemption to the Transfer Agent and decides within the required timeframe not to exercise its Redemption Rights, it may request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.
If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then Public Stockholders who elected to exercise their Redemption Rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, Relativity will promptly return any shares previously delivered by Public Stockholders.
In order for Public Stockholders to exercise their Redemption Rights, they must properly exercise their right to redeem the Public Shares they hold and deliver their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 23, 2026 (two (2) business days prior to the vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting). Immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, Relativity will satisfy the exercise of Redemption Rights by redeeming the Public Shares issued to the Public Stockholders that validly exercised their Redemption Rights.
Appraisal Rights
Neither Relativity stockholders nor Relativity warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL.
 
18

 
Proxy Solicitation
Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Relativity has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a stockholder or a Public Warrant Holder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder or Public Warrant Holder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “The Special Meeting — Revoking Your Proxy.”
Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination
In considering the recommendation of the Relativity Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Relativity’s stockholders generally, including the aggregate amount of $6,562,500 at risk to the Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsor), which is the amount that the Initial Stockholders paid for their Founder Shares and the Sponsor paid for the Private Placement Units. Relativity’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to the Public Stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Further, in considering the recommendation of the Relativity Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors, officers and the sponsor, and their related promoters and affiliates, have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Relativity’s stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

if Relativity does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), it would either need stockholders to vote for an Extension of such date or cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the Relativity Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders, which were initially acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. The aggregate value of the Founder Shares is estimated to be approximately $29,859,925, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $7.03 closing price of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and are expected to have a significantly higher value than $25,000 at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination). As a result, the Initial Stockholders are likely to be able to recoup their investment in Relativity and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if after the Closing Pubco ordinary share loses significant value. This means that the Initial Stockholders could earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-Business Combination company. Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination (such as the Business Combination) rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. Each of the 653,750 Relativity Private Warrants included in the Private Placement Units is exercisable to purchase one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. If we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination transaction by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), then a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless. The Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units has an aggregate market value of approximately $4,595,863 based upon the closing price of $7.03 of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and the Private
 
19

 
Placement Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,492,213 based upon the closing price of $12.99 per Public Unit on Nasdaq on January 11, 2023, the date the units stopped trading (the “Trading Halt”). Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have agreed, as part of the IPO and to induce Relativity and the underwriters to enter into the underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO, not to redeem any shares of Relativity Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed Initial Business Combination;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors, and their respective promoters and affiliates, will only receive compensation (in the form of securities received prior to or in conjunction with Relativity’s initial public offering, and that if the Business Combination does not close, they will receive no compensation for their services to Relativity;

the fact that the target company’s officers and directors may in the future receive equity awards from Instinct Bio that will be publicly traded, which they would not receive if the Business Combination does not close.

in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify Relativity if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Relativity, 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 (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable (which interest will be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (or such other date as approved by Relativity’s stockholders), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to Relativity’s Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless;

the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Public Stockholders vote, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced;

following consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor, Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an Initial Business Combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, on such terms as to be determined by Relativity from time to time, made by Sponsor or certain of Relativity’s officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. However, if Relativity fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within the required period, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. However, there have been no material out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement to date and Relativity does not anticipate any such expenses prior to Closing;
 
20

 

following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Relativity and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Relativity for working capital expenses;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the required period, it may use a portion of its working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans;

the Sponsor will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement at Closing, which provides for registration rights of the Sponsor and certain other stockholders following consummation of the Business Combination; and

Relativity’s 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 Business Combination Agreement.
These interests, which create actual and potential conflicts of interest further described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.” Accordingly, these interests may have influenced Relativity Board in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. The members of the Relativity Board were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the Business Combination and recommended that Relativity’s stockholders approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination. The Relativity Board determined that the overall benefits expected to be received by Relativity and its stockholders in the Business Combination outweighed any potential risk created by the conflicts stemming from these interests. In addition, the Relativity Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and these interests are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, and that stockholders could take them into consideration when deciding whether to vote in favor of the proposals set forth herein, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to an Initial Business Combination by Relativity with any other target business or businesses, (iii) the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco, which may be affected by various other factors other than these interests and (iv) Relativity retained ErShares to provide a fairness opinion to the Relativity Board in connection with the Business Combination and, on February 24, 2025, ErShares delivered its opinion to the Relativity Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For a description of the opinion issued by ErShares to the Relativity Board, please see the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of ErShares as Fairness Opinion Provider.” In addition, Relativity’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation of the Business Combination and in unanimously approving, as members of the Relativity Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Stock Exchange Listing
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we expect to list the Pubco Ordinary Shares and warrants to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares, on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “BIOT” and “BIOTW,” respectively.
Pubco’s Amended and Restated Charter
At or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Pubco Board and Pubco’s stockholder will approve and adopt the Amended Pubco Articles. The Amended Pubco Articles will reflect the following material differences from the Current Charter.

The name of the new public entity will be “Instinct Bio Technical Company Holdings Inc.” as opposed to “Relativity Holding Inc.”;

The authorized share capital of Pubco will be $50,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Pubco ordinary shares of US$0.00001 par value each, as opposed to Relativity having 100,000,000 shares of Relativity
 
21

 
Class A Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock and 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock;

Pubco’s corporate existence is perpetual as opposed to Relativity’s corporate existence terminating if an Initial Business Combination is not consummated by Relativity within a specified period of time; and

The Amended and Restated Charter does not include the various provisions applicable only to SPACs that the Current Charter contains.
For more information regarding the Amended and Restated Charter, see the section entitled “Description of Pubco Securities.”
Comparison of Corporate Governance and Stockholder Rights
There are certain differences in the rights of Pubco’s stockholders and Relativity’s stockholders prior to the Business Combination and following the consummation of the Business Combination. Please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Stockholder Rights.”
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
For a discussion summarizing the U.S. federal income tax considerations of any exercise of Redemption Rights, please see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
Expected Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination between Relativity and BIOT will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, Relativity 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 BIOT issuing shares for the net assets of Relativity, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Relativity will be recognized at historical cost (which is expected to be consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. This determination is primarily based on BIOT stockholders comprising a relative majority of the voting power of Pubco and having the ability to nominate a majority of the members of the Pubco Board. BIOT’ operations and BIOT’s senior management comprise the senior management of Pubco. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of Pubco will represent a continuation of the financial statements of BIOT, with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of BIOT issuing stock for the net assets of Relativity, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Relativity will be stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Operations before the Business Combination will be presented as those of BIOT in future reports of Pubco.
The deemed costs of the shares issued by PubCo, which represents the fair value of the shares that BIOT would have had to issue for the ratio of ownership interest in PubCo to be the same as if the Business Combination had taken the legal form of BIOT acquiring shares of Relativity in excess of the net assets of Relativity, will be accounted for as stock-based compensation of in excess of $50 million under IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment.
Regulatory Matters
The Business Combination is not subject to any additional regulatory requirement or approval, except for (i) filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Cayman Islands necessary to effect the Business Combination, and (ii) filings required with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements applicable to Relativity and the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including the requirement to file the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and to disseminate this proxy statement/prospectus to Relativity’s stockholders and Public Warrant Holders. Neither Relativity nor BIOT are aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than as described above. It is presently contemplated that if
 
22

 
any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.
Emerging Growth Company
Pubco will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. Pubco will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the Closing of the Business Combination, (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 the Pubco ordinary share held by non-affiliates is at least $700 million as of the last business day of Pubco’s prior second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which Pubco issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. Pubco intends to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to most other public companies, whether or not they are classified as “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. The JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
Foreign Private Issuer
Pubco will be a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Exchange Act and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, Pubco’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, Pubco will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
Controlled Company
Pubco will be considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq corporate governance standards because Mr. Tomoki Nagano, BIOT’s founder, chairman of the board of directors and group chief executive officer, holds more than 50% of the voting power upon Closing. Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements that (1) a majority of board of directors of such company consist of independent directors, (2) that such company’s board of directors have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that such company’s board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. While Pubco does not intend to take advantage of these exemptions, it may do so in the future. As a result, Pubco’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
Risk Factors
In evaluating the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting, a stockholder or Public Warrant Holder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
Summary of Risk Factors
You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, before voting on the Proposals. The following summarizes
 
23

 
certain principal factors that make an investment in Relativity speculative or risky, all of which are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section below. This summary should be read in conjunction with the “Risk Factors” section and should not be relied upon as an exhaustive summary of the material risks related to Relativity’s, BIOT’s and/or Pubco’s business.
Risks Related to BIOT’s Business and Industry and Pubco following the Business Combination

BIOT is a recently formed holding company with no operating history. It expects to operate through Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd which, in turn, is a holding company of several operating subsidiaries. Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd has an evolving operating history. The historical growth may not be indicative of its future performance.

The biotechnology, healthcare and beauty industry are highly competitive. If BIOT is unable to compete effectively, it may lose its market share and business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Following the Business Combination, BIOT may need additional capital, and BIOT cannot be sure that additional financing will be available.

BIOT may not grow its franchise system or it may lose business by failing to compete effectively or by failing to manage the reputation of its brand.

The financial performance of BIOT’s franchisee(s) can negatively impact its business.

There may be situations where the interests of franchisees conflict with BIOT in the future, potentially resulting in disputes or liability arising from its relationships with franchisees.

BIOT’s inability to anticipate and respond to market trends and changes in consumer preferences could adversely affect its financial results.

BIOT has limited control over the operations of its franchisees, which may adversely affect its business.

The franchisee clinics may face challenges in competing within the cosmetic clinic industry.

BIOT’s new product introductions may not be as successful as it anticipates.

BIOT’s business depends, in part, on the quality, effectiveness and safety of its healthcare and beauty products.

An economic downturn may adversely affect consumer discretionary spending and demand for BIOT’s products and services.

BIOT may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

BIOT is vulnerable to supply shortages, disruptions, extended lead times, and price fluctuations in raw materials and ingredients, any of which could materially affect our supply chain and its operational results.

BIOT’s business and financial performance rely on its reputation for high-quality OEM and ODM manufacturing. Any issues with product quality, compliance, or supply chain disruptions could damage its reputation and strain client relationships, leading to loss of business and adverse financial impacts.

BIOT is subject to product variability and consistency risks.

Influencer collaborations as part of BIOT’s business strategy carry inherent risks that may adversely impact its brand and financial performance.

BIOT’s business could be adversely affected by trade tariffs or other trade barriers.

There is significant risks associated with BIOT’s international expansion plans.

Any significant change in the customer reward program, including its structure or terms, could negatively impact BIOT’s business and financial performance.
 
24

 

If BIOT fails to obtain and maintain the necessary licenses, permits, registrations, and filings required for its business operations, or if BIOT is unable to acquire additional licenses, permits, registrations, or filings that become necessary due to new government policies, laws, or the expansion of its business, operations and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

Any catastrophe, including natural catastrophes, health epidemics and other outbreaks and extraordinary events, could disrupt the business operations.

Failure to safeguard personal information could subject BIOT to penalties, damage its reputation and brand, and harm the business and results of operations.

Failure by the franchisee clinics to comply with the Medical Care Act in Japan could subject BIOT to penalties, damage its reputation and brand, and harm its business and results of operations.

New laws, regulations, enforcement trends or changes in existing regulations governing the introduction, marketing and sale of BIOT’s products to consumers could harm its business.

BIOT may be compelled to undertake product recalls or take other actions, which could adversely affect its brand image and results of operations.

BIOT may become subject to product liability claims or warranty claims, which could harm its financial condition and liquidity if BIOT is not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.

BIOT may from time to time become a party to litigation, legal disputes, claims or administrative proceedings that may materially and adversely affect BIOT, and it could incur substantial judgments, fines, legal fees or other costs.

BIOT and its subsidiaries may need to defend ourselves against claims of intellectual property infringement, which may be time-consuming and costly.

BIOT’s and its subsidiaries’ intellectual property rights may not protect them effectively.

If BIOT fails to protect, or incur significant costs in defending or enforcing its intellectual property and other proprietary rights, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed.

BIOT’s future success depends on its ability to retain key personnel and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

Any failure in BIOT’s efforts to train health practitioners could result in the misuse of its products, reduce the market acceptance of its products and have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations.

BIOT’s and its subsidiaries’ limited insurance coverage, which may expose them to substantial costs and business disruptions.

Weakened global economic conditions may harm industry, business and results of operations of BIOT.

BIOT is exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Unfavorable media coverage could harm BIOT’s and its subsidiaries’ business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects
Risks Related to Pubco

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.

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 impact the price of its securities and your ability to sell them.
 
25

 

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.

As an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, Pubco is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if Pubco complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.
Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination

The ability of Relativity stockholders to exercise Redemption Rights with respect to a large number of Public Shares or other factors may not allow Relativity to complete the Business Combination or optimize its capital structure.

You may be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of BIOT’ operations.

There is no assurance that Relativity’s diligence will have revealed all material risks that may be present with regard to BIOT. Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Investors may not have the same benefits as an investor in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter.

Relativity is dependent upon its executive officers and directors and their departure could adversely affect Relativity’s ability to operate and to consummate the Business Combination. Additionally, Relativity’s executive officers and directors also allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing potential conflicts of interest that could have a negative impact on Relativity’s ability to complete the Business Combination.

Since the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have interests that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of Relativity’s stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with BIOT is appropriate as Relativity’s Initial Business Combination. Such interests include that they will lose their entire investment in Relativity if the Business Combination is not completed.

The waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, as addressed in Relativity’s Current Charter, may materially affect the Business Combination.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, the value of the shares Pubco ordinary share to be issued at the Closing in exchange for the Founder Shares is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for the Founder Shares, even if the trading price of Pubco ordinary share at such time is substantially less than $10.00 per share.

The exercise of Relativity’s directors’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of Relativity’s stockholders.

Termination of the Business Combination Agreement could negatively impact Relativity and BIOT.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination regardless of how the Public Stockholders vote.

Relativity’s stockholders and BIOT’ equityholders may not realize a benefit from the Business Combination commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Business Combination.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, Relativity and BIOT may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Business Combination
 
26

 
Agreement, which could adversely affect their respective businesses. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

If the conditions to the Business Combination are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

BIOT will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Business Combination is pending, which may negatively impact Pubco’s business following the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the Business Combination may differ materially. The historical financial results of BIOT and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what its actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The Sponsor, Relativity’s directors and officers and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants from Public Stockholders, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of the Public Shares.

Relativity stockholders who redeem their Public Shares may continue to hold any Relativity Public Warrants that they own, which will result in dilution to non-redeeming Relativity stockholders upon exercise of such Relativity Public Warrants.

The Relativity Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of Relativity Common Stock or may create dilution for Public Stockholders.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect Relativity’s business, including its ability to complete the Business Combination and results of operations.

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

If Public Stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

If you or a “group” of Relativity stockholders of which you are a part is deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, or all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such Public Shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.

Unlike some other blank check companies, Relativity does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold will make it easier for Relativity to consummate the Business Combination even if a substantial number of its stockholders redeem their shares.

In the event that a significant number of Public Shares are redeemed, Pubco ordinary share may become less liquid following the Business Combination.

Public Stockholders have limited rights or interests in funds in the Trust Account. Therefore, for Public Stockholders to liquidate their investment, they may be forced to sell Public Shares, potentially at a loss.

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

Relativity and BIOT will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination.
 
27

 

If third parties bring claims against Relativity, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.20 per share.

Relativity’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor under the IPO Letter Agreement, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Stockholders.

Relativity may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of its directors and executive officers.

Relativity may not be able to obtain Transaction Financing in connection with the Business Combination.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, Relativity files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Relativity that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of Relativity’s stockholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by Relativity’s stockholders in connection with Relativity’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, after Relativity distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, Relativity files a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against Relativity that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy or other court may seek to recover such proceeds and the members of the Relativity Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Relativity’s creditors, thereby exposing the members of the Relativity Board and Relativity to claims of punitive damages.

Securities of companies formed through SPAC mergers such as ours may experience a material decline in price relative to the share price of the SPAC prior to the merger.

Relativity stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

The market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the prices of shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock.

The removal of the net tangible asset requirement in connection with the Business Combination may result in a depressed net tangible assets calculation for Pubco, which may adversely affect the stock price of Pubco following the Business Combination.

Pubco maybe unable to qualify for listing on Nasdaq prior to the Business Combination, including as a result of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal being approved, and it may not be able to comply with the initial listing standards of Nasdaq following the Business Combination.

If Relativity were deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for Relativity to complete the Business Combination.

In connection with the Stockholder Special Meeting, Public Stockholders may need to comply with specific requirements for redemption of their Public Shares that may make it more difficult for Public Stockholders to exercise their Redemption Rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.

If Relativity requires Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such redeeming stockholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the Business Combination is not approved.

Relativity could be adversely affected by changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations thereof in the United States or other jurisdictions.

Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, or our prospects.

The Business Combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations, which may impose conditions on or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination. Such conditions or
 
28

 
limitations could also potentially make shares of Class A Common Stock less attractive to investors or cause our future investments to be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations.
Risks Related to Pubco and Ownership of Pubco ordinary share

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance obligations may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our businesses.

As a public reporting company, we will be subject to rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or report them in a timely manner, which could adversely affect our business.

Changing laws and regulations could create uncertainty for Pubco regarding compliance matters and result in higher costs.

The rules and regulations applicable to public companies make it more expensive for Pubco to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, which could adversely affect its ability to attract and retain qualified officers and directors.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, Tomoki Nagano will each control a large percentage of Pubco’s voting power and will be able to exert control over the direction of its business.

Pubco will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, may qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If Pubco relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

An active, liquid market for Pubco’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Pubco’s securities.

The market price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares may decline as a result of the Business Combination.

Pubco’s stock price may change significantly following the Business Combination, even if Pubco’s business is doing well, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

Pubco may be subject to securities class action litigation, which may harm its business and operating results.

Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on Pubco Ordinary Shares for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your Pubco Ordinary Shares at a price greater than what you paid for it.

Pubco may issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity or convertible debt securities without seeking approval of the Pubco shareholders, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about Pubco’s business, if they change their recommendations regarding the Pubco Ordinary Shares or if Pubco’s operating results do not meet their expectations, the price and trading volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares could decline.

Pubco management’s ability to require holders of Pubco Public Warrants to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis will cause holders to receive fewer Pubco Ordinary Shares upon their exercise of the Pubco Public Warrants than they would have received had they been able to exercise such warrants for cash.

Pubco may redeem unexpired Pubco Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous for warrant holders.

There will be material differences between your current rights as a holder of Relativity Common Stock and the rights one will have as a holder of Pubco ordinary share, some of which may adversely affect you.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by Pubco or its stockholders in the public market following the Business Combination could cause the market price for Pubco Ordinary Shares to decline, even if Pubco’s business is doing well.

Relativity currently is, and Pubco will be, an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if Pubco takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements and extended transition periods to adopt new or revised accounting standards available to emerging growth companies, this could make Relativity’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare Relativity’s performance with other public companies.

The warrant agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our company.

Holders of the Pubco Warrants may have to pay taxes if Pubco adjusts the conversion rate of the Pubco Warrants in certain circumstances, even though such holders would not receive any cash.

Risks Related to Instinct Brothers’ Business and Industry
Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. is a recently formed holding company with no operating history. It expects to operate through Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd which, in turn, is a holding company of several operating subsidiaries. Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd has an evolving operating history. Our historical growth may not be indicative of our future performance. Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd is currently not a subsidiary of Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. but is in the process of becoming a subsidiary of Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc.
Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. is a holding company formed for the purpose of the Business Combination. As a holding company, Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. does not directly conduct any business operations or generate revenue. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, its primary asset will be its ownership interest in Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd, which, in turn, is a holding company of several operating subsidiaries. As of the date of this registration statement, Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd has not completed the process of becoming a subsidiary of Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. We expect this process to be completed prior to the Closing of the Business Combination. All risk factors relating to Instinct Brothers’ operations relate to the business currently conducted by Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd and its
 
32

 
subsidiaries. Should any operating subsidiary experience financial difficulties or operational challenges, the overall financial performance of Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. would be adversely affected.
Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd, commenced operations as a regenerative stem cell-based cosmeceutical company in 2017, primarily based in Japan. It is engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of cosmeceutical products, including skincare and beauty-enhancing formulations. As a cosmeceutical company, the business model is subject to significant uncertainties, including evolving consumer preferences, competition from established brands, and the ability to develop innovative products. As a company with an evolving operating history and business strategy, our historical growth may not be indicative of our future performance. We may not be successful in executing our growth strategy, and even if we achieve our strategic plan, we may not be able to sustain profitability. In future periods, our revenue, whether in one or both of our business segments, or with respect to our business as a whole, could decline or grow more slowly than we expect. We may also incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the materialization of the following risks and other risks described in our prospectus, as well as unforeseen difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors:

we may be unsuccessful in predicting and capturing healthcare and beauty industry trends and consumer preferences;

we may be unable to introduce new healthcare and beauty products that appeal to consumers;

we may be unsuccessful in protecting or enhancing the recognition and reputation of our healthcare and beauty brands;

we may be unsuccessful in competing for market share with our existing or new competitors;

the ability of our third-party suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics providers to produce and deliver our healthcare and beauty products in a timely manner and in accordance with ever-changing customer expectations could be disrupted;

we may not be able to maintain and improve our customer experience; and

we may fail to successfully implement our new business initiatives, especially expansion into new offerings or new business lines in which we have limited or no prior experience.
There is no certainty in our ability to successfully navigate the various risks and challenges that may arise in the future. Such events have the potential to significantly and negatively impact our business, operational results, and financial health. These risks could lead to a decrease in our customer base. They might also result in a decline in our net sales growth, adversely influencing our profit margins. If we are unable to maintain our growth in net sales or enhance our profit margins, it could seriously affect our business, financial status, and operational outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to understand that any growth in net sales that we may have experienced in the past does not necessarily predict similar results in the future.
The biotechnology, healthcare and beauty industry are highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively, we may lose our market share and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected
The healthcare, beauty, and biotechnology industries are intensely competitive, with substantial rivalry from both domestic and international players, including large multinational companies that possess diverse portfolios of healthcare and beauty brands. The competitive landscape is shaped by various factors, such as product innovation, pricing strategies, product quality, brand recognition, and the effectiveness of marketing and promotional efforts. Many of our competitors have significant financial resources, technical expertise, and well-established marketing infrastructures, along with long-standing operational experience and a broader customer base, enabling them to quickly adapt to changes in the market.
While we believe that our unique business model offers certain advantages, both established and emerging competitors may adjust their strategies to directly challenge our market position. These adjustments may include targeting younger demographics, implementing aggressive pricing tactics, or launching new and innovative products. Due to their extensive networks and strong brand presence, maintaining the loyalty of our existing customers remains uncertain.
 
33

 
Competitors may also engage in price competition, potentially forcing us to reduce prices, which could negatively affect our profit margins. The unpredictable nature of competitors’ actions, the emergence of new market entrants, technological advancements, and the success of their marketing strategies all pose potential challenges to our growth and market position.
To remain competitive, we must capitalize on our brand strength, swiftly recognize and respond to industry trends, execute impactful marketing initiatives, drive innovation, maintain a diverse product portfolio, and optimize operational efficiency, including effective supply chain management. Additionally, expanding into emerging markets is essential to reinforcing our market position. Failure to sustain our competitive advantage could have a significant adverse impact on our market standing, operational results, and financial stability.
Following the Business Combination, we may need additional capital, and we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available
Following the Business Combination, we may need additional capital to support our ongoing operations, fund research and development initiatives, expand our manufacturing capabilities, enhance our marketing and distribution networks, or pursue strategic acquisitions. As part of our growth strategy, we aim to establish a Cell Processing Center (CPC) facility to enhance our capabilities in the development and production of stem cell-based cosmeceutical products. Establishing and operating a CPC facility will require substantial investment in equipment, skilled personnel, regulatory compliance, and facility maintenance.
However, we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to secure additional funds may be influenced by various factors, including prevailing economic conditions, changes in the regulatory landscape affecting cosmeceuticals, and shifts in consumer preferences or market trends. Furthermore, any equity financing we pursue could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders, while debt financing could increase our financial leverage and impose restrictive covenants on our operations.
In addition, the cosmeceutical market is subject to stringent regulatory scrutiny and quality control standards, especially when dealing with stem cell-based products. If new regulations are introduced or existing standards are tightened, we may incur significant compliance costs, necessitating further capital to meet these requirements. Failure to secure adequate funding could hinder our ability to establish the CPC facility, negatively impact our financial performance, and force us to curtail or modify our planned business activities.
If we are unable to raise the necessary capital when required, we may be forced to delay or abandon our growth strategies, including the development of the CPC facility, product launches, or innovation projects. This could weaken our competitive position and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We may not grow our franchise system or we may lose business by failing to compete effectively or by failing to manage the reputation of our brand
Our success and growth prospects depend on the strength and desirability of our brand, e.g. Genrêver. The Genrêver brand is one of our most valuable assets, and maintaining brand consistency across all franchise clinics is essential to our business. Any franchisee engaging in unethical practices, substandard services, or customer dissatisfaction could negatively impact the perception of the Genrêver brand as a whole.
We believe that potential franchisees choose to partner with us primarily based on the perceived value and quality of our brand and services, the potential for increased revenue through affiliation with our franchise, and the franchise management service fees we charge. However, demographic, economic, or other market changes could reduce the desirability of our brand, potentially decreasing the number of franchised clinics.
Furthermore, the terms of future franchise management service agreements may be less favorable than our current agreements. Regulatory changes may compel us to adjust fee structures or offer additional financial incentives, such as loans and guarantees, to encourage the potential franchisees to open new clinics before operating under our brand names. Such changes could negatively impact our profit margins.
 
34

 
Each of our franchisee clinics also faces competition from major clinic chains operating in both national and international markets, as well as from independent companies in regional markets. Our competitiveness and ability to attract and retain customers at franchisee clinics depend on how effectively we differentiate our cosmetic products and services from those offered by competitors. Failure to do so may result in a loss of market share and negatively impact our operating results.
Our ability to expand our franchise clinic network may be limited due to regulatory restrictions and the structure of our business model
Under Japanese law, the corporate practice of medicine is generally prohibited, and medical clinics must be owned and operated by licensed healthcare professionals. Accordingly, we do not intend to directly own, control, or operate medical clinics in Japan. Instead, we plan to license our brands (e.g., Genrêver) and provide non-clinical administrative, marketing, and facility management services through contractual arrangements with licensed healthcare professionals or entities owned and controlled by such professionals.
Our ability to expand our clinic network in Japan through this model may be constrained by our capacity to identify, engage, and maintain long-term relationships with qualified healthcare professionals willing to enter into such arrangements. Given the fragmented nature of the healthcare industry in Japan and the increasing competition for strategic collaborations, the pace and scope of our expansion may be limited. There is no assurance that our model will be replicable across different regions of Japan or that we will be able to scale our operations as anticipated. Failure to expand our clinic network effectively could adversely affect our business prospects, growth strategy, and financial performance.

There is no assurance that our model will be replicable across different regions of Japan or that we will be able to scale our operations as anticipated. Failure to expand our clinic network effectively could adversely affect our business prospects, growth strategy, and financial performance.
In addition, business or operational misalignments between us and the licensed healthcare professionals could impede onboarding, cause early disengagement, or limit the effectiveness of our service delivery. Departing professionals may also establish or affiliate with competing clinics within the same geographic area, potentially diverting patients, staff, and goodwill from our network. Although our service agreements may include non-compete and non-solicitation provisions, such restrictions may not be enforceable or may be subject to significant limitations under Japanese law.
The shortage of licensed healthcare professionals in Japan, particularly in rural and underserved area, poses an additional constraint to expanding our franchise clinic footprint, and could materially limit our ability to grow our business operation.
The financial performance of our franchisee(s) can negatively impact our business
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our Genrêver clinics operate as franchise, making our financial performance heavily reliant on the operational and financial success of our franchisees. If we are unable to expand the number of franchise clinic locations in certain areas or are restricted from doing so due to factors such as past performance, regulatory constraints, licensing or registration requirements, or other challenges, it could have a substantial negative impact on our future revenue streams.
Our revenue model and cash flow primarily depend on profit sharing and products sale. Therefore, a significant decrease in the number of new franchise clinics being established would adversely affect our revenue generation. While we have implemented operational standards and guidelines for franchisees, we have limited control over their day-to-day management. Although we focus on the overall success and long-term growth of our clinic network, franchisees may pursue business strategies and objectives that do not always align with ours.
Furthermore, our franchisees may encounter difficulties in securing adequate funding to open or sustain their clinics. Excessive debt levels or unfavorable economic conditions may hinder their ability to
 
35

 
repay existing obligations, leading to financial difficulties or even bankruptcy. If a substantial number of franchisees face financial distress, it could reduce our management services revenues and disproportionately impact our profitability.
Moreover, the closure of franchised clinics would decrease our management services revenues and other income sources. Since many of our fixed costs are likely to remain constant, even with reduced revenue, this could significantly harm our profit margins.
There may be situations where the interests of our franchisees conflict with ours in the future, potentially resulting in disputes or liability arising from our relationships with franchisees
The franchisees may occasionally disagree with our business strategies, or our interpretation of the respective rights and obligations outlined in the franchise and management services agreements. Differences may also arise regarding the terms and conditions governing the franchisee/franchisor relationship. These disagreements could lead to disputes with our franchisees, and as we continue to expand our franchise network, we anticipate that such disputes may occur from time to time. In some cases, these disputes may escalate to legal action against us.
Even when we achieve favorable outcomes, the process of resolving these disputes can consume significant amounts of management’s time, attention, and financial resources, diverting focus away from clinic operations. This could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
Furthermore, our franchise relationships and the potential establishment of new franchise clinic locations are subject to various state and federal regulations. There is a risk that a franchisee or a government agency may initiate legal proceedings against us based on franchisee/franchisor relationship issues. Such legal actions could result in the awarding of damages to franchisees or the imposition of fines and other penalties against us.
Our inability to anticipate and respond to market trends and changes in consumer preferences could adversely affect our financial results
Our future success relies on our ability to anticipate and respond promptly and cost-effectively to shifts in consumer preferences for skincare products. To stay competitive, we must consistently develop, manufacture, and market new products while also expanding existing product lines to cater to both established and emerging distribution channels. The process of creating new products and line extensions demands substantial investments of personnel and financial resources, and there is no guarantee that these efforts will achieve commercial success. We routinely reassess our development projects to determine whether their progress justifies continued investment. Based on these evaluations, we have, in the past, discontinued certain projects and may choose to do so again in the future if the projected outcomes do not warrant further commitment. Failure to bring a product or technology from development to market in a timely manner, or to secure successful market adoption, could result in significant expenses without a corresponding financial return.
Moreover, we must continuously track consumer attitudes toward our industry and product lines, as well as monitor evolving shopping behaviors and distribution methods. To remain competitive, it is essential to sustain and strengthen brand recognition within both established and emerging distribution channels, optimize our product mix across these channels, manage inventories efficiently, and continually update our marketing and sales strategies. We acknowledge that consumer preferences can change unexpectedly and rapidly, especially with the influence of digital and social media, where information and opinions spread quickly. If we fail to accurately predict or react to changes in market trends, consumer demands, or sentiment, our financial performance could be adversely impacted.
Additionally, there may be periods when a significant portion of our sales growth or profitability is derived from a limited number of products, channels, or geographic regions. Should this trend continue or if certain products, channels, or regions fail to meet performance expectations, it could have a material negative impact on our business.
 
36

 
Like in other key markets, there has been a growing trend in Japan toward online retail, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift increases our reliance on major e-commerce platforms and digital marketing strategies. Consequently, any disruption in these online channels or shifts in consumer behavior towards other retail formats could adversely impact our sales and overall business performance in Japan.
We have limited control over the operations of our franchisees, which may adversely affect our business
Our franchisees are independent business operators and are not our employees. As such, we do not exercise direct control over the day-to-day operations of their clinics, except as expressly governed by the terms of our management services agreement. While we provide training, support, and operational standards, the performance and quality of franchised clinics may be compromised due to factors beyond our control. Consequently, franchisees may fail to operate their clinics in accordance with our standards and requirements or may not engage and adequately train qualified personnel.
Any failure by franchisees to maintain our operational standards may materially harm our brand image and reputation, as well as the reputation of other franchisees. This may result in a significant decline in system-wide sales, thereby reducing our management services fees and other sources of revenue. Furthermore, the negative impact on our profitability could exceed the percentage decrease in management services fees.
Our franchisee clinics may face challenges in competing within the cosmetic clinic industry
We operate in the cosmetic clinic industry by providing management services to our franchisee clinics. The industry is characterized by intense competition, with new entrants continually emerging and offering a wide range of cosmetic products and service formats. While we strive to respond to customer needs and enhance our services, there is no assurance that these efforts will yield the expected results. If our franchisee clinics are unable to maintain customer loyalty or if competitors offering cosmetic services attract our franchisee clinics’ customers, resulting in decreased revenues for our franchisee clinics, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected, as a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from franchisees as compensation for management services.
Moreover, many of our franchisee clinics’ current and potential competitors, particularly international competitors, possess significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and operational resources. This enables them to allocate substantial resources to the design, development, promotion, and support of their clinics. We anticipate that competition within the cosmetic clinic industry will continue to intensify due to increased demand for cosmetic services. Key factors affecting competition include innovation, service quality, reliability, safety, pricing, and customer service. Heightened competition may result in reduced revenues generated by our franchisee clinics, downward pricing pressure, and ultimately adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects, given that a significant portion of our revenue arises from management services fees received from franchisee.
Our new product introductions may not be as successful as we anticipate
We have implemented a structured approach to develop, evaluate, and validate our new product concepts. However, every product launch carries inherent risks and potential for unforeseen challenges. For instance, the market reception of new products and their sales performance may fall short of our expectations due to factors such as inadequate consumer acceptance, pricing issues, or ineffective marketing strategies. Additionally, delays or difficulties encountered by our suppliers or manufacturers could hinder the timely production, distribution, or delivery of new products or their associated displays.
Furthermore, inventory management by our customers may impact new product sales, potentially resulting in product shortages. There is also a risk that the introduction of new products may lead to a decline in sales of certain existing products. Any of these factors could disrupt our ability to meet our sales targets and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
As part of our strategic growth plan, we anticipate continuing to develop new products, including potential expansions into new categories, broadening our brand presence within consumer channels, building a robust global e-commerce platform, and strengthening our footprint in key international markets.
 
37

 
However, venturing into new product categories, distribution channels, or geographic markets may present operational and financial challenges that could impede our ability to execute these expansions successfully. Failure to introduce successful products in either our traditional or adjacent categories and channels could limit our growth potential and materially impact our business, financial health, and operational outcomes.
Our business depends, in part, on the quality, effectiveness and safety of our healthcare and beauty products
A decline in consumer confidence in the ingredients used in our healthcare and beauty products, whether related to concerns about contamination, safety, quality, or the inclusion of prohibited or restricted substances, could result in reputational damage to our brands and lead consumers to choose alternative products. Allegations of safety issues or contamination, even if unfounded, may necessitate significant resource allocation for response efforts and could occasionally lead to product recalls in markets where the affected products were distributed. These incidents or recalls have the potential to adversely affect our profitability and brand reputation.
If our products are considered defective, unsafe, or fall short of meeting consumer expectations, it could damage our consumer relationships, reduce the appeal of our brand, and require recalls or regulatory actions. Additionally, concerns about safety or quality in competing products might lead to a decrease in consumer demand for our offerings. Any of these situations could have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and operational results.
An economic downturn may adversely affect consumer discretionary spending and demand for our products and services
Our products are often viewed as discretionary items by consumers. The level of spending on such items is influenced by various factors, including overall economic conditions and elements like consumer confidence in future economic prospects, consumer sentiment, the availability and cost of consumer credit, unemployment rates, and tax rates. In times of economic downturn, consumers might postpone or cut back on purchases of our products, leading to a situation where demand does not increase as anticipated. Our business is sensitive to economic cycles, and any resulting fluctuations in consumer demand for our products and services could negatively impact our operational results and financial condition.
We may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future
We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate net profits or positive cash flow from operating activities in the future. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability will depend in large part on our ability to maintain or increase our operating margin, either by growing our revenues at a rate faster than our costs and operating expenses increase, or by reducing our costs and operating expenses as a percentage of our net revenues. We also expect to continue to make significant future expenditures related to the development and expansion of our business, including:

investments in our product development team and research and development team and in the development of new products;

investments in sales and marketing, enlarging our customer base and promoting market awareness of our brands and products;

investments in expansion or maintenance of our online and offline distribution channels in a measured manner, including the potential buildout of our offline experience store footprint;

investment in enhancing data and information technology and improving operating efficiency, including improving the efficiency in supply chain management and inventory control; and

incurring costs associated with general administration, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a public company.
As a result of these significant expenses, we must generate adequate revenue to attain and sustain profitability in future periods. Various factors could impact our ability to achieve this goal, including potential low demand for our products, heightened competition, an unfavorable macroeconomic environment,
 
38

 
and other risks outlined elsewhere in this prospectus. Failure to maintain or enhance profitability could negatively affect our business and operational outcomes.
We are vulnerable to supply shortages, disruptions, extended lead times, and price fluctuations in raw materials and ingredients, any of which could materially affect our supply chain and our operational results
Our production operations are conducted through Artisans Production Co., Ltd., which serves as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original design manufacturer (ODM) of stem cell cosmetics for third-party brands, such as Brosky and bebecosmetique, as well as Instinct Bio’s own brands, developed in collaboration with influencers. The manufacturing of these stem cell-based cosmetic products relies on a stable and timely supply of high-quality raw materials, particularly human stem cell-conditioned media (SCCM), exosomes, and other bioactive ingredients.
A key element of our supply chain is Invitrx Therapeutics Inc., a U.S.-based biotechnology company specializing in stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine technologies (“Invitrx”). Hiroki Global Co., Ltd. has secured an exclusive distribution agreement with Invitrx for Japan until 2041, granting it access to essential raw materials, including SCCM, exosomes, and other bioactive ingredients. While this agreement enhances our competitive advantage, it also introduces supply chain risks, as we depend on a single-source supplier for critical raw materials. Consequently, we may encounter challenges such as ingredient shortages, supply discontinuation, prolonged procurement timelines, increased costs, and potential quality control issues. Moreover, factors like changes in international trade policies, heightened tariffs, and currency exchange fluctuations could further impact the availability and pricing of these critical raw materials. For instance, if Invitrx experiences operational disruptions, prioritizes other clients, or reduces or terminates its relationship with us, it could significantly hinder our ability to meet production demands and maintain operational continuity.
In the event of supply disruptions, identifying alternative suppliers could prove costly, time-consuming, and complex, given the stringent quality and regulatory requirements for stem cell-derived ingredients. To mitigate this risk, Instinct Bio has initiated discussions with Alps Global Holdings Berhad to secure such raw materials. However, securing a reliable secondary supplier remains a considerable challenge.
In addition to raw material risks, our OEM/ODM manufacturing for influencer-backed brands presents unique challenges:

Brand Reputation and Demand Volatility: Influencer-driven brands are highly dependent on the public image and promotional efforts of the influencers themselves. Any scandal, controversy, or shift in consumer preferences could diminish demand, resulting in excess inventory and financial losses.

Contractual and Ownership Risks: Although Instinct Bio retains brand ownership, influencers may seek to renegotiate terms or deprioritize collaborations, potentially undermining marketing efforts and long-term brand sustainability.

Production Challenges: Influencer-backed brands often demand custom formulations and unique packaging, which can increase production costs and cause supply chain bottlenecks if specific materials become unavailable.
Our business and financial performance rely on our reputation for high-quality OEM and ODM manufacturing. Any issues with product quality, compliance, or supply chain disruptions could damage our reputation and strain client relationships, leading to loss of business and adverse financial impacts.
Maintaining and enhancing our reputation as a reliable OEM and ODM partner is essential for our long-term success. Our business heavily relies on the trust and confidence of our clients, who include well-known consumer brands and retail companies. These partners depend on our ability to consistently deliver high-quality products that meet their standards and specifications. Any issues with product quality, compliance, or supply chain disruptions could damage our reputation and strain client relationships, leading to loss of business and adverse financial impacts.
Our reputation is influenced by several factors, including our ability to innovate and produce high-quality, cost-effective products within the required timelines. Meeting customer expectations on

product performance, adhering to rigorous quality standards, and demonstrating transparency throughout the production process are essential to preserving client confidence. Additionally, our commitment to ethical manufacturing practices — such as compliance with labor laws, environmental regulations, and standards prohibiting practices like animal testing — is crucial for maintaining our clients’ trust and upholding our reputation.
We invest significant resources in quality control, compliance measures, and production efficiency to meet our partners’ expectations. However, any lapses — whether in quality assurance, supply chain management, or adherence to ethical standards — could expose us to reputational risks. Moreover, if our clients receive negative publicity linked to products we manufacture, it could indirectly harm our business, even if the issue is unrelated to our performance. Any defects or quality issues could lead to costly recalls, reputational damage, or legal liabilities.
Furthermore, as we often operate as a behind-the-scenes manufacturer, we must also manage the risk of being replaced by competitors who offer better pricing, higher quality, or more advanced technology. If our clients choose to shift their production to other OEM or ODM partners, it could significantly impact our revenue and market presence.
Maintaining our reputation as a trusted OEM and ODM partner is critical to retaining existing clients and attracting new business. Failure to do so could result in losing key partnerships and facing long-term financial consequences, including revenue loss and increased costs to rebuild our reputation.
We are subject to product variability and consistency risks
The biological nature of our regenerative stem cell-derived cosmetics present variability risks that could impact product performance, consumer trust, and brand reputation. Differences in stem cell sources extracted from customers and culture conditions may lead to batch-to-batch inconsistencies, affecting efficacy, texture, and bioactive potency.
The quality of SCCM and exosomes however is particularly sensitive to processing techniques and storage conditions. Even minor fluctuations in supernatant and exosome purity and potency can result in unpredictable product outcomes, making it challenging to ensure uniformity across all product lines.
Despite our strict quality controls, external factors such as supplier inconsistencies, raw material availability, and advanced processing technologies may still introduce uncontrollable variability. Any perceived decline in product efficacy or formulation changes could lead to negative consumer feedback, reputational damage, and weakened customer loyalty. Ensuring consistent performance in our stem cell-derived products remains a key operational challenge, and any failure to do so could materially impact our brand reputation, market position, and financial results.
Influencer collaborations as part of our business strategy carry inherent risks that may adversely impact our brand and financial performance
Influencer collaborations as part of our business strategy carry inherent risks that may adversely impact our brand and financial performance. One significant risk is reputation damage, which may occur if an influencer becomes involved in scandals, controversies, or other negative publicity, as our brand may be directly associated with such incidents. Additionally, influencer marketing carries the risk of perceived inauthenticity, particularly if audiences view the promotion as overly commercial or insincere. This perception could reduce the effectiveness of marketing efforts and harm our credibility.
Furthermore, we may face legal and compliance risks if influencers fail to adhere to advertising regulations, such as disclosing sponsored content, potentially exposing us to fines or legal liabilities. An over-reliance on a single influencer could also make us vulnerable to sudden changes in consumer perception or reduced visibility if the influencer’s popularity declines. Additionally, content control issues may arise when influencers independently create content that does not align with our brand message or includes misinformation, leading to potential customer dissatisfaction. Audience mismatch is another potential risk, as promoting products to followers who do not match our target demographic may result in low engagement or sales. Contractual and intellectual property challenges may also arise if agreements with influencers do not clearly define content ownership, brand guidelines, or termination rights, potentially
 
40

 
leading to unauthorized use or distribution of promotional materials. Finally, influencer fatigue could occur when influencers frequently endorse numerous brands, diluting the impact of their endorsement and making our promotional efforts less effective. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our brand reputation, financial performance, and ability to achieve strategic marketing goals.
Our business could be adversely affected by trade tariffs or other trade barriers
We plan to sell our cosmetic products, medical equipment, and medical supplies to China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries. China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries may in the future impose tariffs on the importation of consumer products related to our business, such as cosmetic products, medical equipment, and medical supplies. Any new tariffs on cosmetic products, medical equipment, and medical supplies or other relevant products imposed by China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore or other countries may significantly increase our costs. It is not yet clear what impact these tariffs, if imposed, may have or what actions other governments, including the Japanese government, may take in retaliation. In addition, these developments could have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There is significant risks associated with our international expansion plans
The company’s strategic plan to expand its operations beyond Japan into countries such as China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore involves significant commercial, operational, and financial risks. Entry into new international markets requires navigating complex and varied regulatory frameworks, each with its own unique approval processes, standards for product safety, quality control requirements, and labeling guidelines. Non-compliance with these regulatory requirements could delay market entry, result in penalties, and adversely affect the company’s brand reputation and consumer trust.
Additionally, each new market possesses distinct consumer preferences, purchasing behaviors, cultural norms, and competitive dynamics, which may differ significantly from the Japanese market where the company currently operates. Failure to effectively tailor marketing strategies, product offerings, pricing structures, and distribution methods to these regional differences could limit market acceptance, hinder customer acquisition, and negatively impact profitability. Moreover, expansion into these territories is likely to entail substantial upfront investments in product adaptation, supply chain logistics, local staffing, and promotional activities, all of which increase operational complexity and elevate overall business risk.
Any significant change in the customer reward program, including its structure or terms, could negatively impact our business and financial performance
We are subject to various risks associated with the customer reward program implemented by franchisee clinics. Any significant change in the customer reward program, including its structure or terms, could negatively impact our business and financial performance. The customer reward program allows customers to earn points that expire if unused for a period of 12 months, at which point we earn revenue from the expired points. However, if changes in laws or regulations related to loyalty or reward programs necessitate modifications, we may incur increased compliance costs or be forced to alter the program in ways that reduce its effectiveness. Additionally, if customers perceive the reward program as unfair, confusing, or providing insufficient value, it may result in decreased participation, negative publicity, and diminished customer loyalty, ultimately impacting franchisee clinic revenues and, consequently, our management service fees.
Furthermore, the successful operation of the customer reward program relies on the proper functioning of IT systems and data management. Any technical failures, data breaches, or glitches could disrupt the program, leading to customer dissatisfaction and potential loss of revenue. In addition, should franchisee clinics fail to properly fund or manage the program, we may face unexpected financial liabilities. The effectiveness of the reward program may also be compromised during periods of economic downturn or reduced consumer spending, as customers may be less inclined to accumulate or redeem points.
Moreover, increased competition may result in the introduction of more attractive reward or loyalty programs by competitors, thereby making our program less appealing to customers. This could decrease
 
41

 
customer engagement and loyalty, leading to a decline in market share. Lastly, there is a risk of fraud or abuse related to the reward program, either by customers or franchisee clinic staff, which could result in financial losses and harm the reputation of both the franchisee clinics and our brand as a whole. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects.
If we fail to obtain and maintain the necessary licenses, permits, registrations, and filings required for our business operations, or if we are unable to acquire additional licenses, permits, registrations, or filings that become necessary due to new government policies, laws, or the expansion of our business, our operations and financial results could be materially and adversely affected
The healthcare and beauty industry, as well as business models such as export-oriented e-commerce in Japan, are subject to extensive regulatory requirements. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been subject to any warnings, penalties, or disciplinary actions from government authorities for lacking the requisite licenses, permits, registrations, or filings. However, there is no guarantee that we will not encounter administrative actions in the future, which could significantly impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Moreover, some of the licenses, permits, and registrations that we currently hold, including business licenses for our franchise clinic locations, require periodic renewal. Failure to maintain or timely renew these documents could result in operational disruptions, penalties, or even the suspension or termination of our online or offline business activities. Additionally, as we continue to expand our business and introduce new products or extend our offerings to new markets, we may need to obtain additional licenses and permits. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure these approvals promptly or at all, which could hinder our growth and adversely affect our business operations.
Any catastrophe, including natural catastrophes, health epidemics and other outbreaks and extraordinary events, could disrupt our business operations
Our business operations are vulnerable to disruptions caused by natural catastrophes, health epidemics, and other extraordinary events, which could significantly harm our financial performance. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, or typhoons, as well as health epidemics and public safety concerns affecting Japan and Southeast Asia, could lead to server interruptions, system failures, technology platform malfunctions, or internet outages. These disruptions may affect our internal operations as well as those of our manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers, potentially causing data loss, software or hardware malfunctions, and interruptions to our daily operations, product manufacturing, and delivery processes. Additionally, health epidemics impacting our employees or business partners could adversely affect our ability to maintain normal business functions. If a health epidemic were to negatively impact the Japanese economy or our target customer base, it could further harm our financial results.
Since our headquarters are located in Japan, where the majority of our management and employees are based, any occurrence of natural disasters, health epidemics, or other public safety incidents in the region could cause severe operational disruptions. Such events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and overall operating results.
Risk factors related to evolving laws and regulations and compliance with laws and regulations
Failure to safeguard personal information could subject us to penalties, damage our reputation and brand, and harm our business and results of operations
It is crucial for us to safeguard personal information to maintain our brand reputation and avoid potential liabilities. The regulatory landscape for privacy and data protection is constantly evolving and remains uncertain, both in Japan and internationally. Various laws and regulations, such as the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) in Japan, impose strict requirements on the collection, storage, use, disclosure, and transfer of personal data. Failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to significant legal and financial risks. The APPI, for instance, requires us and our subsidiaries to lawfully use personal information within specified purposes, take adequate security measures, and obtain consent before
 
42

 
sharing personal data with third parties. Violations of these requirements could damage our brand, reduce customer trust, and adversely impact our financial performance.
Despite our best efforts to comply, our practices may fall short of the constantly changing requirements, and any perceived or actual failure could lead to regulatory penalties, fines, and civil claims. Our reliance on both internally and externally developed software and hardware to manage vast amounts of personal data introduces the risk of programming errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities that could compromise data security. A data breach or system failure could result in unauthorized access to sensitive information, potentially causing reputational damage, reduced customer demand, and costly legal battles.
Compliance with evolving data protection regulations may also increase operational costs or necessitate changes in our business practices. Any major security incident could negatively affect customer confidence, particularly franchisee clinics, leading to reduced revenue and long-term damage to our brand and business prospects.
Failure by the franchisee clinics to comply with the Medical Care Act in Japan could subject us to penalties, damage our reputation and brand, and harm our business and results of operations
The Medical Care Act defines rights and obligations regarding medical treatment, advertisement, authority, license, treatment of information, safety and security for patients, doctors and other individuals and organizations engaged in medical activities in Japan. A failure by the franchisee clinics to comply with the Medical Care Act may harm our franchised brand and directly result in a reduction of the Company’s revenue, since we receive substantial revenue from the franchisee clinics as part of our compensation for management services.
New laws, regulations, enforcement trends or changes in existing regulations governing the introduction, marketing and sale of the Company’s products to consumers could harm its business.
The cosmeceutical industry in Japan is subject to stringent regulations administered by various government agencies, including the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). These regulations encompass product safety, labeling requirements, marketing claims, product classification (e.g., cosmetics versus quasi-drugs), and advertising standards. Compliance with these regulatory requirements is essential to maintain market access and consumer trust. Any changes to existing regulations or the introduction of new legislation governing the production, marketing, and distribution of cosmeceutical products could increase compliance costs or limit the Company’s ability to market and sell certain products. For instance, amendments to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law or the enactment of stricter labeling and advertising guidelines could necessitate significant modifications to the Company’s business practices and product offerings.
To the extent federal, state, local or foreign regulatory changes regarding consumer protection, or the ingredients, claims or safety of the Company’s products occurs in the future, they could require the Company to reformulate or discontinue certain of its products, revise the product packaging or labeling, or adjust operations and systems, any of which could result in, among other things, increased costs, delays in product launches, product returns or recalls and lower net sales, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Non-compliance with applicable regulations could result in enforcement action by the regulatory authorities within or outside Japan, including but not limited to product seizures, injunctions, product recalls and criminal or civil monetary penalties, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover, as the cosmeceutical market in Japan is highly competitive, any inability to promptly adapt to changing regulatory requirements could result in a loss of market share to competitors who are more agile or better prepared to comply with evolving legal standards.
We may be compelled to undertake product recalls or take other actions, which could adversely affect our brand image and results of operations
We may be required to initiate product recalls or take other corrective actions in response to defects, safety concerns, or regulatory non-compliance, which could negatively impact our brand image and financial
 
43

 
performance. Product recalls can result in significant direct costs, including expenses related to notifying customers, retrieving or repairing the affected products, and addressing any associated legal claims. Moreover, such recalls could damage customer trust and diminish the reputation of our brand, leading to reduced demand for our products and services. Even if a recall is successfully executed, the perception of product quality and safety could still be adversely affected, resulting in a lasting negative impact on our business, operating results, and overall financial condition.
We may become subject to product liability claims or warranty claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims
We may be subject to product liability lawsuits, which could lead to costly and time-consuming litigation and significant financial liabilities.
The development, production, and commercialization of our stem cell-derived products involve inherent risks, including the potential for adverse reactions, contamination, or unforeseen safety concerns. If any of our products are alleged to cause harm, we could face litigation, regulatory scrutiny, and reputational damage, which may result in withdrawal from the market or restrictions on commercialization.
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage on acceptable terms, leaving us exposed to potential financial losses. Even if a claim is without merit or covered by insurance, defending against product liability lawsuits could be time-consuming, costly, and divert management’s focus from core business operations
We may from time to time become a party to litigation, legal disputes, claims or administrative proceedings that may materially and adversely affect us, and we could incur substantial judgments, fines, legal fees or other costs.
We may face complaints or legal actions from franchisees, customers, clients, suppliers, employees, or other third parties for various reasons. Some of these litigation proceedings may involve substantial claims for damages. We cannot guarantee that we will always have valid defenses against the plaintiffs’ claims. Although it is difficult to predict the final outcomes of such legal actions, they could harm our reputation and negatively affect our operational results. Additionally, ongoing or potential legal proceedings, including bankruptcy matters, could result in significant judgments, fines, legal expenses, or other costs, which may materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
We and our subsidiaries may need to defend ourselves against claims of intellectual property infringement, which may be time-consuming and costly.
Competitors, companies, organizations, or individuals may possess or acquire patents, trademarks, or other proprietary rights that could restrict, limit, or interfere with the ability of our franchisee clinics to utilize our medical technologies. This could hinder their ability to compete effectively.
Companies holding intellectual property rights might initiate legal actions claiming that we, our subsidiaries, or our franchisees have infringed upon their rights or may otherwise assert their ownership against us. Additionally, there is a risk that our or our subsidiaries’ trademark applications and uses associated with our brand may be deemed to infringe on existing trademark rights. We may also fail to apply for essential trademarks in a timely manner.
As a result, we, our subsidiaries, and our franchisees could continue to encounter intellectual property infringement claims going forward, which could have a negative impact on our business operations and reputation.
If we, our subsidiaries, or our franchisees are determined to have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we, our subsidiaries, or our franchisees may be required to do one or more of the following:

cease offering products or services that incorporate or use the challenged intellectual property;
 
44

 

pay substantial damages;

seek a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; and/or

establish and maintain alternative branding for our brand and services.
If a claim of infringement against us, our subsidiaries, or our franchisees is successful and we fail or are unable to secure a license for the infringed technology or intellectual property right, it could materially and adversely impact our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Furthermore, any litigation or claims, regardless of their merit, could lead to significant expenses, generate negative publicity, and divert valuable resources and management attention away from core business operations.
Our or our subsidiaries’ intellectual property rights may not protect us effectively
As of November 30, 2024, we and our subsidiaries collectively hold a total of 21 registered trademarks in Japan. However, we do not have any registered patents in Japan and have no intellectual property in counties outside of Japan. Without patent protection, competitors may replicate or imitate our formulations and products, resulting in increased competition, loss of market share, and reduced profit margins as competitors may offer similar products at lower prices. This lack of exclusivity could also lead to brand dilution, as consumers may become confused by similar offerings in the market, thereby weakening the distinctiveness and reputation of our brand.
Additionally, without our own patents, we may face legal challenges from other companies holding similar patents, exposing us to the risk of costly litigation or the need to enter into unfavorable licensing agreements. The lack of a strong intellectual property portfolio may also hinder our ability to attract investment, as investors may view the absence of patent protection as a higher risk factor. To remain competitive, we may be compelled to invest more in research and development to continually innovate and differentiate our products, which could increase our operational costs.
The implementation and enforcement of intellectual property rights in Japan have historically been inadequate and ineffective, resulting in protection that may not be as robust as that offered in the United States or other developed countries. Monitoring and addressing unauthorized use of proprietary technologies can be both challenging and expensive. To protect our and our subsidiaries’ intellectual property rights, we rely on a combination of trademark and trade secret laws, along with disclosure restrictions. Despite these efforts, third parties may still attempt to copy, misuse, or otherwise acquire our intellectual property or seek court rulings declaring non-infringement. Unauthorized use of our or our subsidiaries’ intellectual property could harm our current and future revenues and damage our reputation. Moreover, detecting and preventing such infringements is complex and costly, and we cannot guarantee that our protective measures will be entirely effective. At times, we or our subsidiaries may be forced to pursue litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, resulting in substantial legal expenses and the diversion of valuable resources from our business operations.
In addition, filing, prosecuting, and defending trademark and trade secret rights of the Company and its subsidiaries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. The Company and its subsidiaries have obtained trademarks in Japan. Competitors may use the Company’s technologies in jurisdictions where it has not obtained intellectual property protection.
If we fail to protect, or incur significant costs in defending or enforcing our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed
Our ability to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights is crucial to our success. We primarily rely on trademarks, trade secrets, unfair competition laws, license agreements, and other contractual measures to safeguard our intellectual property. However, Japanese legal standards regarding the validity, enforceability, and scope of intellectual property rights provide limited protection and may not offer a competitive advantage, leaving our rights vulnerable to third-party challenges. Intellectual property laws outside of Japan may offer even less protection. As a result, despite our best efforts, we may be unable to fully prevent third parties from infringing upon, misappropriating, or gaining unauthorized access to our technology. There is also a risk that unauthorized parties may attempt to copy, reverse engineer, or otherwise
 
45

 
exploit the medical technologies used at our franchise clinics. Additionally, some of our employees and those of the franchise clinics have access to our trade secrets and proprietary information, posing a risk of dissemination if they move to work for competitors. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could significantly harm our business, operations, or financial condition.
Furthermore, we may occasionally need to initiate legal action to defend our intellectual property, which is both time-consuming and costly, potentially impacting our operating results. Protecting our intellectual property rights and investigating potential violations of others’ rights may also involve substantial expenses. Our intellectual property rights could be contested or invalidated through administrative processes or litigation. Even when pursuing legal proceedings to enforce our rights or assess the validity and scope of others’ intellectual property, the process could result in considerable costs and divert the attention of our management and technical staff, regardless of the outcome.
Risks Related to Employee Matters
Our future success depends on its ability to retain key personnel and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel
Our success hinges on the valuable contribution of our executive officers, senior management and key personnel, and losing their services could harm our business. Effective collaboration among our senior management is crucial, as any inefficiency or discord could severely disrupt our operations. Despite having employment contracts with these executives, nothing stops them from ending their association with the Company at any time.
If one or more of our executive officers, senior management or key employees were unable or unwilling to continue their services with us, we might not be able to replace them easily, in a timely manner, or at all, and we might lose the innovation, collaboration and focus that contribute to our business. Competition to hire from this limited pool is intense, and we may be unable to hire, train, retain or motivate these additional key personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among numerous cosmeceutical and healthcare companies for similar personnel.
Any failure in our efforts to train health practitioners could result in the misuse of its products, reduce the market acceptance of its products and have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The proficiency of health care and beauty practitioners in utilizing our products requires a significant learning curve. It is critical to the success of our sales efforts to adequately train a sufficient number of practitioners. Following completion of training, we rely on health practitioners and administrators to advocate the benefits of its products in the broader marketplace. Convincing practitioners to dedicate the time and energy necessary for adequate training and implementation is challenging, and we cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in these efforts. If practitioners are not properly trained, they may misuse or ineffectively use our products, leading to potential negative outcomes for patients, as well as negative publicity, regulatory actions, or lawsuits against the Company, all of which could adversely impact its reputation.
Our future success also relies on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals in technical, managerial, finance, marketing, sales, and customer service roles. Due to the high demand for qualified talent in the cosmeceutical industry, we may be required to offer competitive compensation packages and benefits to secure and retain the talent we need. Despite these efforts, the process of recruiting, integrating, and retaining essential personnel may still present challenges.
Furthermore, there is a risk that if any of our key executives or employees leave to join a competitor or establish a competing business, they may disclose sensitive business information, trade secrets, customer lists, or other valuable resources. Although we have implemented employment agreements, confidentiality provisions, and non-competition agreements with senior management and critical employees, there is no guarantee that these measures will be fully enforceable, and legal disputes over their enforcement could result in substantial costs.
 
46

 
Any inability to attract, integrate, or retain key management and skilled personnel could significantly disrupt our operations, compromise our competitive position, and hinder our growth prospects.
General Risks
We and our subsidiaries have limited insurance coverage, which may expose us to substantial costs and business disruptions
We do not currently have insurance coverage for all potential risks inherent in the business operations of our subsidiaries. Securing additional insurance on favorable terms or at reasonable costs may not always be feasible. If a liability claim arises from injuries or damages sustained by customers at our franchisee clinics, it could significantly harm our financial condition, operating results, and reputation. Even if such claims are ultimately unsuccessful, they could still result in negative publicity, substantial legal expenses, and a distraction for our management team.
Moreover, we do not have insurance to cover business disruptions, which could lead to considerable expenses and a drain on resources if such an event occurs. Additionally, Japan or other jurisdictions in which we intend to operate may mandate certain minimum liability or other insurance requirements for franchisee clinic operations. Meeting these requirements could prove costly, increasing the expenses associated with running franchisee clinics. Alternatively, some desirable insurance products might not be available commercially, thereby increasing the operational risks associated with our franchise-based business model.
Weakened global economic conditions may harm our industry, business and results of operations
Our overall performance is partially dependent on global economic conditions. Economic downturns and financial developments, even if unrelated to us or the cosmeceutical industry, may still negatively impact our business. Major international economies, including Japan, the United States, and others, have occasionally faced challenges such as declining demand for goods and services, limited credit availability, low liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatile credit, equity, and foreign exchange markets, bankruptcies, and general economic uncertainty, including concerns about tariffs and trade.
If economic conditions in Japan, the United States, Indonesia, Malaysia or any other key markets for our franchisees remain uncertain or worsen, it could negatively impact customers’ ability or willingness to purchase cosmetic products or services, potentially delaying purchasing decisions by prospective customers. This could adversely affect our operating results.
Moreover, a decline in revenue for the franchisees due to unfavorable global economic conditions would directly reduce our revenue since a significant portion of our earnings is derived from the compensation we receive for management services provided to these franchisees.
We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates
As our operating subsidiaries are in Japan, a significant portion of our revenue and costs may be denominated in Japanese yen. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could affect our profitability and financial condition. Additionally, as we anticipate growing our business further outside of Japan, the effects of movements in currency exchange rates will increase as our transaction volume outside of Japan increases.
Unfavorable media coverage could harm our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Adverse publicity about aspects such as our business practices, customer support, product standards, privacy and security measures, compliance with regulations, financial or operational performance, accounting decisions, or leadership could damage our reputation. This negative attention could also negatively affect our credibility, business health, operational outcomes, and future prospects and the engagement and loyalty of our network of patients, scientific collaborators, and research partners relying on our assets. Moreover, adverse media attention could attract regulatory scrutiny, potentially leading to actions or the introduction of new laws or regulations affecting our operations. The risks associated with unfavorable publicity are amplified by the extensive use of social media and the rising occurrence of misleading or unfounded news, especially on social media and online platforms.

Risks Related to Pubco
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.
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 the 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 on the management Relativity 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 impact 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, minimum number of shareholders 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 our securities;

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

limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
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.
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
 
48

 
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.
As an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, Pubco is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if Pubco complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.
Pubco is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Nasdaq market rules permit a foreign private issuer such as Pubco to follow the corporate governance practices of Pubco’s home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is Pubco’s home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to domestic U.S. companies.
Among other things, Pubco is not required to have: (1) a majority-independent board of directors; (2) a compensation committee consisting of independent directors; (3) a nominating committee consisting of independent directors; or (4) regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year.
Pubco may also follow the home country practice for certain other corporate governance practices in the future, which may differ from the requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market or Capital Market. If Pubco chooses to follow the home country practice, Pubco’s shareholders may be afforded less protection than they would otherwise enjoy under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us” and “our” in this subsection generally refer to Relativity.
The ability of Relativity stockholders to exercise Redemption Rights with respect to a large number of Public Shares or other factors may not allow Relativity to complete the Business Combination or optimize its capital structure.
If the Redemption Amendment Limitation Proposal is not passed and a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than Relativity currently expects, such redemptions or other conditions are determined to result in a failure to satisfy the net tangible asset requirement set forth in the Current Charter (assuming the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not passed), Relativity may need to seek to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the Trust Account or arrange for third-party financing. Third-party financing may not be available to Relativity. Furthermore, raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels.
If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until Relativity liquidates the Trust Account, consummates an alternative Initial Business Combination or upon the occurrence of an Extension or certain other corporation actions as set forth in the Current Charter. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with Relativity’s redemption until Relativity liquidates, consummates an alternative Initial Business Combination, effectuates an Extension or takes certain other actions set forth in the Current Charter or you are able to sell your shares in the open market.
You may be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of BIOT’ operations.
If the Business Combination is consummated, Pubco will be affected by numerous risks inherent in the lines of business that Pubco expects to pursue. Although Relativity’s management has endeavored to evaluate the risks inherent in the Business Combination with BIOT, Relativity cannot assure you that it can adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. Furthermore, some of these risks may be
 
49

 
outside of Relativity’s control. Relativity also cannot assure you that an investment in Relativity’s securities will not ultimately prove to be less favorable than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in BIOT. In addition, if Relativity stockholders do not believe that the prospects for the Business Combination are promising, a greater number of stockholders may exercise their Redemption Rights, which may make it difficult for Relativity to consummate the Business Combination.
There is no assurance that Relativity’s diligence will have revealed all material risks that may be present with regard to BIOT. Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Although Relativity has conducted due diligence on BIOT, Relativity cannot assure you that this diligence will have revealed all material issues that may be present with regard to BIOT, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence or that risks outside of Relativity’s control will not later arise. BIOT is aware that Relativity must complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders). Consequently, BIOT may have obtained leverage over Relativity, knowing that if Relativity does not complete the Business Combination, Relativity may be unlikely to be able to complete an Initial business Combination with any other target business prior to such deadline. In addition, Relativity has had limited opportunity to conduct due diligence. Relativity therefore has made its decision to pursue an Initial Business Combination with BIOT on the basis of limited information, which may result in a business combination that is not as profitable as expected, if at all. As a result of these factors, Pubco may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations or incur impairment or other charges that could result in reporting losses.
Even if Relativity’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with its preliminary risk analysis. Even if these charges are for non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on Pubco’s liquidity, the fact that Pubco reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about Pubco or Pubco’s securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause Pubco to violate leverage or other covenants to which it may be subject as a result of assuming any pre-existing debt held by BIOT or by virtue of it obtaining debt financing following the Closing. Accordingly, any stockholders of Relativity who choose to remain stockholders of Pubco following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders 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 Relativity’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed by them to Relativity, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.
Investors may not have the same benefits as an investor in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter.
Relativity is already a publicly listed company. Therefore, the Business Combination and the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus are not an underwritten initial public offering of securities and differ from an underwritten initial public offering in several significant ways. Like other business combinations and spin-offs, because there is no independent third-party underwriter involved in the Business Combination or the issuance of Pubco’s securities in connection therewith, investors will not receive the benefits the diligence performed by the underwriters in an underwritten public offering. In an underwritten public offering, an issuer initially sells its securities to the public market via one or more underwriters, who distribute or resell such securities to the public. Underwriters have liability under the U.S. securities laws for material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement pursuant to which an issuer sells securities. 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. The underwriters in an underwritten public offering have a
 
50

 
“due diligence” defense to such liability by, among other things, conducting a due diligence investigation of the issuer. Due diligence entails engaging legal, financial and/or other experts to perform an investigation as to the accuracy of an issuer’s disclosure regarding, among other things, its business and financial results. Auditors of the issuer will also deliver a “comfort” letter with respect to the financial information contained in the registration statement. In making their investment decision, investors have the benefit of such diligence in underwritten public offerings. Our investors 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.
In addition, the amount of due diligence conducted by Relativity and its advisors in connection with the Business Combination may not be as high as would have been undertaken by an underwriter in connection with an initial public offering of Pubco. Accordingly, it is possible that defects in BIOT’ business or problems with BIOT’ management that would have been discovered if BIOT conducted an underwritten public offering will not be discovered in connection with the Business Combination. As a result, there could be a heightened risk of an incorrect valuation of our business or material misstatements or omissions in this proxy statement/prospectus, which could adversely affect the market price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares.
Additionally, unlike an underwritten initial public offering, the initial trading of Pubco’s securities will not benefit from the book-building process undertaken by underwriters that helps to inform efficient price discovery with respect to opening trades of newly listed shares and underwriter support to help stabilize, maintain or affect the public price of the new issue immediately after listing. The lack of such a process in connection with the listing of Pubco’s securities on Nasdaq could result in diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for Pubco’s securities during the period immediately following the listing.
Further, since there will be no traditional “roadshow,” there can be no guarantee that any information made available in this proxy statement/prospectus and/or otherwise disclosed or filed with the SEC will have the same impact on investor education as a traditional “roadshow” conducted in connection with an underwritten initial public offering. As a result, there may not be efficient or sufficient price discovery with respect to the securities or sufficient demand among potential investors immediately after the Closing, which could result in a more volatile price for Pubco’s securities.
Such differences from an underwritten public offering may present material risks to unaffiliated investors that would not exist if we became a publicly listed company through an underwritten initial public offering instead or upon completion of the Business Combination.
Relativity is dependent upon its executive officers and directors and their departure could adversely affect Relativity’s ability to operate and to consummate the Business Combination. Additionally, Relativity’s executive officers and directors also allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing potential conflicts of interest that could have a negative impact on Relativity’s ability to complete the Business Combination.
Relativity’s operations and its ability to consummate the Business Combination are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, its executive officers and directors. Relativity believes that its success depends on the continued service of its executive officers and directors, at least until the completion of the Business Combination. Relativity does not have an employment agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of its directors or executive officers. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of Relativity’s directors or executive officers could have a detrimental effect on Relativity and its ability to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, Relativity’s executive officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to its affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including monitoring the due diligence and undertaking the other actions required in order to consummate the Business Combination. Each of Relativity’s executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which they may be entitled to substantial compensation and Relativity’s directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. If Relativity’s executive officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to Relativity’s affairs, which may have a negative impact on Relativity’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

Since the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have interests that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of Relativity’s stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with BIOT is appropriate as Relativity’s Initial Business Combination. Such interests include that they will lose their entire investment in Relativity if the Business Combination is not completed.
In considering the recommendation of the Relativity Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Relativity’s stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

if Relativity does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), it would either need stockholders to vote for an Extension of such date or cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the Relativity Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders, which were initially acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. The aggregate value of the Founder Shares is estimated to be approximately $29,859,925, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $7.03 closing price of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and are expected to have a significantly higher value than $25,000 at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination). As a result, the Initial Stockholders are likely to be able to recoup their investment in Relativity and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if after the Closing Pubco ordinary share loses significant value. This means that the Initial Stockholders could earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-Business Combination company. Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination (such as the Business Combination) rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. Each of the 653,750 Relativity Private Warrants included in the Private Placement Units is exercisable to purchase one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. If we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination transaction by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), then a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless. The Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units has an aggregate market value of approximately $4,595,863 based upon the closing price of $7.03 of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,492,213 based upon the closing price of $12.99 per Public Unit on Nasdaq on January 11, 2023, the date the units stopped trading (the “Trading Halt”). Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have agreed, as part of the IPO and to induce Relativity and the underwriters to enter into the underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO, not to redeem any shares of Relativity Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed Initial Business Combination;
 
52

 

in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify Relativity if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Relativity, 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 (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable (which interest will be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (or such other date as approved by Relativity’s stockholders), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to Relativity’s Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless;

the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Public Stockholders vote, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced;

following consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor, Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an Initial Business Combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, on such terms as to be determined by Relativity from time to time, made by Sponsor or certain of Relativity’s officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. However, if Relativity fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within the required period, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. However, there have been no material out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement to date and Relativity does not anticipate any such expenses prior to Closing;

following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Relativity and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Relativity for working capital expenses;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the required period, it may use a portion of its working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans;

the Sponsor will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement at Closing, which provides for registration rights of the Sponsor and certain other stockholders following consummation of the Business Combination; and

Relativity’s 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 Business Combination Agreement.
These interests, which create actual and potential conflicts of interest further described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.” Accordingly, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidating Relativity. The
 
53

 
Relativity Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and these interests are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Relativity with any other target business or businesses, (iii) the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco, which may be affected by various other factors other than these interests and (iv) Relativity retained ErShares to provide a fairness opinion to the Relativity Board in connection with the Business Combination and, on February 24, 2025 ErShares delivered its opinion to the Relativity Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For a description of the opinion issued by ErShares to the Relativity Board, please see the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of ErShares as Fairness Opinion Provider.” In addition, Relativity’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation of the Business Combination and in unanimously approving, as members of the Relativity Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Sponsor will also act in the capacity of the Purchaser Representative for the stockholders of Pubco (other than the Sellers) from and after the effective time of the Merger. However, the nature of the scope and the duties of the Purchaser Representative are limited and are largely administrative and ministerial (such as being able to review Pubco’s books and records and approving public announcement relating to the business combination).
The waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, as addressed in Relativity’s Current Charter, may materially affect the Business Combination.
To the extent allowed by law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to Relativity 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 this Current Charter or in the future, and Relativity renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of Relativity will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to Relativity, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of Relativity with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Relativity and (i) such opportunity is one Relativity is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for Relativity to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to Relativity without violating any legal obligation.
Relativity does not believe that the pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its directors and officers materially impacted its search for an acquisition target. In the course of their other business activities, Relativity’s directors and officers may become aware of other investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to Relativity as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Relativity’s management has pre-existing fiduciary duties and contractual obligations and if there is a conflict of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented, any entity with whom Relativity’s management has a pre-existing fiduciary obligation will be presented the opportunity before Relativity is presented with it. Relativity does not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of Relativity’s directors or officers or waiver of corporate opportunity materially affected Relativity’s search for an Initial Business Combination. Relativity is not aware of any such corporate opportunity not being offered to Relativity and does not believe the renouncement of Relativity’s interest in any such corporate opportunities impacted Relativity’s search for an acquisition target.
The Amended and Restated Charter is silent with respect to the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, the value of the shares Pubco ordinary share to be issued at the Closing in exchange for the Founder Shares is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for the Founder Shares, even if the trading price of Pubco ordinary share at such time is substantially less than $10.00 per share.
The Initial Stockholders initially invested in Relativity an aggregate of $6,562,500, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for the Founder Shares and the $6,537,500 purchase price for the Private Placement Units. At the Closing, the 3,593,750 Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders will be exchanged for an equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share upon consummation of the Business Combination, such Pubco Ordinary Shares would have an aggregate implied value of $35,937,500, despite having been purchased for an aggregate of $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share. Even if the trading price of Pubco ordinary share was as low as $1.83 per share, and the Pubco Private Warrants were worthless, the value of such shares would be equal to the Initial Stockholders’ initial investment in Relativity. As a result, the initial Stockholders are likely to be able to recoup their investment in Relativity and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if the Pubco ordinary share loses significant value. This means that the Initial Stockholders could earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if the Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-Business Combination company. Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the trust to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate. This may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting BIOT for Relativity’s Initial Business Combination and consummating the Business Combination. For the foregoing reasons, you should consider Relativity’s management team’s financial incentive to complete an Initial Business Combination when evaluating whether to redeem your Public Shares prior to or in connection with the Business Combination.
The exercise of Relativity’s directors’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of Relativity’s stockholders.
In the period leading up to the consummation of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require Relativity to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by BIOT or to waive rights that Relativity is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of BIOT’ business, a request by BIOT to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a Material Adverse Effect on BIOT’ business and would entitle Relativity to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Relativity’s discretion, acting through the Relativity Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights.
The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors of Relativity described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what such director may believe is best for Relativity and what such director may believe is best for himself or herself in determining whether or not to take the requested action.
If Relativity and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement authorize an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement after the approval of the Business Combination by the Relativity stockholders that does not require further approval by the Relativity stockholders or an amendment of the offer document, Relativity will inform its stockholders of the amendment by press release and other public communication. In the event that Relativity, BIOT and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement authorize an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement that requires further approval by Relativity’s stockholders, a proxy supplement or an amended proxy statement/prospectus would be delivered to Relativity’s stockholders and proxies would be re-solicited for approval of such amendment.

Termination of the Business Combination Agreement could negatively impact Relativity and BIOT.
If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, including as a result of Relativity stockholders declining to approve the Proposals required to effect the Business Combination, the ongoing businesses of BIOT and Relativity may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Business Combination, BIOT and Relativity would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

BIOT or Relativity may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on its stock price (including to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed);

BIOT may experience negative reactions from its customers, vendors and employees;

BIOT and Relativity will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Business Combination, whether or not the Business Combination is completed; and

since the Business Combination Agreement restricts the conduct of BIOT’ and Relativity’s businesses prior to completion of the Business Combination, each of BIOT and Relativity may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the Business Combination that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available (see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Covenants and Agreements”).
If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and the Relativity Board seeks another Initial Business Combination, Relativity stockholders cannot be certain that Relativity will be able to find another acquisition target that would constitute an Initial Business Combination or that such other Initial Business Combination will be completed. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Termination.”
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination regardless of how the Public Stockholders vote.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, and not to redeem any such shares for in connection with such stockholder vote, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced. As of the date hereof and as a result of redemptions in connection with the Extension Meeting, the Initial Stockholders owns approximately 98.5% of the total outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock. Accordingly, the Initial Stockholders will be able to approve all of the Proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, even if no Public Stockholder votes in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Special Meeting.
Relativity’s stockholders and BIOT’ equityholders may not realize a benefit from the Business Combination commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Business Combination.
If Pubco is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Business Combination, Relativity’s stockholders and BIOT’ equityholders will experience substantial dilution of their ownership interests in their respective companies without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent Pubco is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Business Combination.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, Relativity and BIOT may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement, which could adversely affect their respective businesses. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
Covenants in the Business Combination Agreement impede the ability of Relativity and BIOT to make acquisitions or complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending completion of the Business Combination. As a result, if the Business Combination is not completed, the parties may be at a disadvantage to their competitors during that period. While the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, each party is also generally prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or entering into certain extraordinary transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination outside the ordinary course of business, with any third party. Any such transactions could be favorable to such party’s security holders.
As a result of these restrictions, Relativity is prohibited from seeking an alternative Initial Business Combination during the pendency of the Business Combination. Relativity also has an unqualified obligation to submit the Business Combination Proposal to a vote by its stockholders, even if Relativity receives an alternative transaction proposal that the Relativity Board believes is superior to the Business Combination, unless the Business Combination Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms. If Relativity is unable to obtain the requisite approval of its stockholders, either party may terminate the Business Combination Agreement. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Termination.”
If the conditions to the Business Combination are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.
Even if the Business Combination is approved by the stockholders of Relativity and the members of BIOT, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Business Combination. These conditions are described in detail in the Business Combination Agreement and in addition to stockholder consent, include among other requirements, (i) receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and no law or order preventing the transactions, (ii) the Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq, (iii) each party’s representations and warranties being true and correct as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement and as of the Closing (subject to Material Adverse Effect), (iv) each party complying in all material respects with its covenants and agreements, (v) no Material Adverse Effect with respect to a party since the date of the Business Combination Agreement which remains continuing and uncured, (vi) the members of the post-Closing board being elected or appointed, (vii) listing of Pubco’s securities on Nasdaq and (viii) an effective registration statement. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing” below for a more complete summary. Relativity and BIOT cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not occur, or may be delayed and such delay may cause Relativity and BIOT to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination. If the Business Combination does not occur, Relativity may not be able to find another potential candidate for its Initial Business Combination prior to Relativity’s deadline (currently February 15, 2027), and Relativity will be required to liquidate.
BIOT will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Business Combination is pending, which may negatively impact Pubco’s business following the Business Combination.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on BIOT and consequently on Pubco. These uncertainties may impair Pubco’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Business Combination is completed, including employees that may be needed due to Pubco’s status as a public company, and could cause customers and others that deal with BIOT to seek to change existing business relationships with BIOT or with Pubco. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the Business Combination as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, Pubco’s
 
57

 
business following the Business Combination could be negatively impacted. See “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Covenants and Agreements.”
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary and the actual financial condition and results of operations after the Business Combination may differ materially. The historical financial results of BIOT and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what its actual financial position or results of operations would have been.
The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Pubco’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the date(s) indicated. The preparation of the pro forma financial information is based upon available information and certain assumptions and estimates that Relativity and BIOT currently believe are reasonable.
The historical financial results of BIOT included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows Pubco will achieve in the future. This is primarily the result of the following factors: (i) Pubco will incur additional ongoing costs as a result of the Business Combination, including costs related to public company reporting, investor relations and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (ii) Pubco’s capital structure will be different from that reflected in BIOT’ historical financial statements. Pubco’s financial condition and future results of operations will be materially different from amounts reflected in Relativity’s historical financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare Pubco’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.
Similarly, the unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared based on a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to, the number of Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of Pubco’s future operating or financial performance and Pubco’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from Relativity’s pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate.

The Sponsor, Relativity’s directors and officers and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants from Public Stockholders, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of the Public Shares.
At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Relativity or Relativity’s securities, the Initial Stockholders, BIOT or their respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants, or to withdraw any request for redemption. In such transactions, the purchase price for the Public Shares will not exceed the redemption price to be paid to Public Stockholders exercising Redemption Rights in connection with the Business Combination. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the IPO Letter Agreement, the persons described above will waive Redemption Rights, if any, with respect to the Public Shares they acquire in such transactions. However, any Public Shares acquired by the persons described above would not vote on the Business Combination Proposal.
The purpose of such purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination are satisfied. This may result in the completion of our Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares or Public Warrants, including the granting of put options.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on the Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants such investor or holder owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. If such arrangements or agreements are entered into, Relativity will file a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the Special Meeting to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons. Any such report will include (i) the amount of securities purchased and the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of such purchases; (iii) the impact of such purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved; (iv) the identities or characteristics of security holders who sold Public Shares or Relativity Public Warrants if not purchased in the open market or the nature of the sellers; and (v) the number of Public Shares for which Relativity has received redemption requests.
In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of Public Shares or the Relativity 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 the Relativity and/or Pubco securities on a national securities exchange.
Relativity stockholders who redeem their Public Shares may continue to hold any Relativity Public Warrants that they own, which will result in dilution to non-redeeming Relativity stockholders upon exercise of such Relativity Public Warrants.
Relativity stockholders who redeem their Public Shares may continue to hold any Relativity Public Warrants that they own, which will result in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of such warrants. Assuming all redeeming Relativity stockholders that acquired Public Units in the IPO and continue to hold the Relativity Public Warrants that were included in such Public Units, 14,375,000 Relativity Public Warrants would be retained by redeeming Relativity stockholders. As a result, the redeeming Relativity stockholders would hold Relativity Public Warrants with an aggregate market value of approximately $677,063 (based on the closing price of $0.0471 per Relativity Public Warrant on January 11, 2023), while non-redeeming Relativity stockholders would suffer dilution in their percentage ownership and voting interest of Pubco upon exercise of the Relativity Public Warrants held by redeeming Relativity stockholders.
The Relativity Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of Relativity Common Stock or may create dilution for Public Stockholders.
Relativity has issued warrants that may result in the issuance of additional shares of common stock after an Initial Business Combination. Such securities, when converted or exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock. The sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the shares underlying the Relativity Warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for Relativity’s securities. If and to the extent these Relativity Warrants are converted or exercised, the Public Stockholders may experience dilution to their holdings.
Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect Relativity’s business, including its ability to complete the Business Combination and results of operations.
Relativity is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, Relativity is 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 Relativity’s 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 Relativity’s business, including its ability to complete the Business Combination and results of operations.

There is no guarantee that a Public Stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put such stockholder in a better future economic position.
We cannot assure you as to the price at which a Public Stockholder may be able to sell the Pubco Ordinary Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination. Certain events following the consummation of any business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in Pubco’s stock price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a Relativity stockholder might realize in the future had the stockholder not elected to redeem such stockholder’s Public Shares. Similarly, if a Public Stockholder does not redeem such stockholder’s shares, such stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares after the consummation of the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a Pubco stockholder can sell such stockholder’s Pubco Ordinary Shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price to be paid to Public Stockholders exercising their Redemption Rights as set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A Public Stockholder should consult such stockholder’s own tax or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.
If Public Stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.
Relativity intends to comply with the U.S. federal proxy rules in conducting redemptions in connection with the Business Combination. However, despite Relativity’s compliance with these rules, if a Relativity stockholder fails to receive Relativity’s proxy materials, such stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its Public Shares. In addition, this proxy statement/prospectus provides the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly tender or redeem Public Shares. In the event that a Public Stockholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures, its Public Shares may not be redeemed.
In order to exercise their Redemption Rights, Public Stockholders are required to deliver their Public Shares, either physically or electronically using the DWAC System, to the Transfer Agent prior to the vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting. If a Public Stockholder properly seeks redemption as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination is consummated, Relativity will redeem these Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and the Public Stockholder will no longer own such Public Shares following the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your Redemption Rights.
If you or a “group” of Relativity stockholders of which you are a part is deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, or all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such Public Shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.
The Current Charter provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any of such stockholder’s affiliates or any other person with whom it 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 such stockholders’ Public Shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s Public Shares, in excess of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of Relativity. However, Relativity stockholders’ ability to vote all of their Public Shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination Proposal is not restricted by this limitation on redemptions. Your inability to redeem any such excess Public Shares could result in you suffering a material loss on your investment in Relativity if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the excess shares if we complete the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell your shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.
Unlike some other blank check companies, Relativity does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold will make it easier for Relativity to consummate the Business Combination even if a substantial number of its stockholders redeem their shares.
Unlike some other blank check companies, Relativity does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold, except, if the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not passed, that it will not redeem
 
60

 
Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Some other blank check companies’ structures disallow the consummation of a business combination if the holders of such companies’ public shares elect to redeem or convert more than a specified percentage of the shares sold in such companies’ initial public offering. Because Relativity has no such maximum redemption threshold, it may be able to consummate the Business Combination even though a substantial number of its Public Stockholders have redeemed their shares.
If the Business Combination is consummated, the cash held by Pubco and its subsidiaries in the aggregate, after the Closing, may not be sufficient to operate and pay bills as they become due. Furthermore, Relativity’s affiliates are not obligated to make loans to Pubco in the future. The additional exercise of Redemption Rights with respect to a large number of the Public Stockholders may preclude taking such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize the capital structure of Pubco after consummation of the Business Combination and Pubco may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund its expenses and liabilities after the Closing.
In the event that a significant number of Public Shares are redeemed, Pubco ordinary share may become less liquid following the Business Combination.
A significant number of shares were redeemed in connection with the Extension and more may be redeemed in connection with the Closing. As a result of these redemptions, Pubco may be left with a significantly smaller number of stockholders after Closing. As a result, trading in the Pubco Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination may be limited and your ability to sell your shares in the market could be adversely affected.
Public Stockholders have limited rights or interests in funds in the Trust Account. Therefore, for Public Stockholders to liquidate their investment, they may be forced to sell Public Shares, potentially at a loss.
Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account either (a) because they hold Public Shares or (b) they hold Public Shares through Public Units and have elected to separate such Public Units into the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares, only upon (i) such Public Stockholders’ exercise of Redemption Rights in connection with Relativity’s Initial Business Combination (which will be the Business Combination, should it occur) and then only in connection with those Public Shares that such Public Stockholder properly elected to redeem or (ii) the redemption of Public Shares if Relativity is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if Relativity is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), compliance with applicable law and the Current Charter may result in a delay in winding up Relativity and may require Relativity submit a plan of dissolution to its then-existing stockholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in the Trust Account. In that case, Public Stockholders may be forced to wait beyond February 15, 2027 before they receive funds from the Trust Account. In no other circumstances will a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate their investment, Public Stockholders may be forced to sell their Public Shares, potentially at a loss.
Relativity’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern.”
As of February 15, 2026, Relativity had approximately $714,335 in cash held in the Trust Account. Further, Relativity has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans, including the Business Combination. Relativity cannot assure you that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an Initial Business Combination, including the Business Combination, will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its 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 its inability to consummate the Business Combination or its inability to continue as a going concern.
 
61

 
Relativity and BIOT will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination.
Each of Relativity and BIOT has incurred and expects that it will continue to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination. Relativity and BIOT will also incur significant legal, financial advisor, accounting, banking and consulting fees, fees relating to regulatory filings and notices, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing fees and other costs associated with the Business Combination.
The total amount of fees, loans and expenses expected to be paid in connection with the Business Combination is expected to be approximately $2,456,339, which will exceed the amount remaining in the Trust Account following redemptions by a minimum of $1,760,886, which assumes that no Public Stockholders elect to exercise Redemption Rights. Pubco intends to pay the difference by utilizing cash available on-hand or through financing from the sale of the securities of Pubco or BIOT. However, there can be no assurance that Pubco or BIOT will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to Pubco or BIOT. Moreover, this payment may have a negative effect on Pubco’s ability to grow its business after Closing in the manner described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” See also “Risk Factors — Risk Related to Operational Factors Affecting BIOT — BIOT’ ability to generate sufficient cash depends on numerous factors beyond our control, and BIOT may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations” and — “BIOT’ ability to achieve long-term growth objectives, execute its business plan maintain and expand our operations, and invest in our business, maintain and expand our operations and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available” and — “Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination — Unlike some other blank check companies, Relativity does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold will make it easier for Relativity to consummate the Business Combination even if a substantial number of its stockholders redeem their shares.”
If third parties bring claims against Relativity, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.20 per share.
Relativity’s placement of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against Relativity. Although Relativity has sought and will continue to seek to have all third parties, including vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses, BIOT, or other entities with which Relativity does business, execute agreements with Relativity waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of Public Stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not 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 advantage with respect to a claim against Relativity’s 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, Relativity’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to Relativity than any alternative. Relativity’s independent registered public accounting firm did not execute an agreement with Relativity waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.
Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by Relativity’s management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where Relativity’s management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. Withum, Relativity’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Representative did not execute agreements with Relativity 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 Relativity and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of Public Shares, if Relativity has not completed its Initial Business Combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of Redemption Rights in connection with its Initial Business Combination, Relativity will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Relativity within the 10 years
 
62

 
following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by Public Stockholders could be less than the $10.20 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify Relativity if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Relativity, or a prospective target business with which Relativity has 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 (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. Relativity has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Relativity. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. Relativity has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per Public Share. In such event, Relativity may not be able to complete its Initial Business Combination, and holders of Public Shares would receive such lesser amount per Public Share in connection with any redemption of the Public Shares. None of Relativity’s officers or directors will indemnify Relativity for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by prospective target businesses.
Relativity’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor under the IPO Letter Agreement, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Stockholders.
The Sponsor has agreed that, if Relativity liquidates the Trust Account prior to the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, it will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Relativity.
In the event that the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Relativity’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Relativity currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on behalf of Relativity against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to Relativity, it is possible that Relativity’s independent directors, in exercising their business judgment, may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If Relativity’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, there may be less funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Stockholders.
Relativity may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of its directors and executive officers.
Relativity has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors, subject to certain limitations, against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. Such indemnity only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by Relativity only if (i) Relativity has sufficient funds outside of its Trust Account or (ii) Relativity consummates the Business Combination. Relativity’s obligation to indemnify its officers and directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against its officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against Relativity’s officers and directors, even
 
63

 
though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit it and its stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent Relativity pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against its officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Relativity may not be able to obtain Transaction Financing in connection with the Business Combination.
Relativity may not be able to obtain Transaction Financing on terms that are acceptable to Relativity, or at all. If Relativity does not obtain Transaction Financing, Relativity may not be able to consummate the Business Combination or certain other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The terms of any Transaction Financing may be onerous to Relativity, and Relativity may be unable to obtain alternative financing on terms that are acceptable to it, or at all. The failure to secure Transaction Financing could impede the ability to consummate the Business Combination and/or harm the continued development or growth of BIOT following the Closing. None of Relativity’s officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to Relativity in connection with or after the consummation of the Business Combination.
If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, Relativity files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Relativity that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of Relativity’s stockholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by Relativity’s stockholders in connection with Relativity’s liquidation may be reduced.
If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, Relativity files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Relativity that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in Relativity’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Relativity’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by Public Stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.
If, after Relativity distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, Relativity files a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against Relativity that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy or other court may seek to recover such proceeds and the members of the Relativity Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Relativity’s creditors, thereby exposing the members of the Relativity Board and Relativity to claims of punitive damages.
If, after Relativity distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, Relativity files a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against Relativity that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance, preference or disposition.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Relativity’s stockholders. In addition, the Relativity Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to relativity’s creditors or having acted in bad faith by paying Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors, thereby exposing itself and Relativity to claims of punitive damages.
Securities of companies formed through SPAC mergers such as ours may experience a material decline in price relative to the share price of the SPAC prior to the merger.
As with most SPAC initial public offerings in recent years, Relativity issued shares for $10.00 per share upon the closing of its IPO. As with other SPACs, the $10.00 per share price of Relativity reflected each share having a one-time right to redeem such share for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account equal to approximately $10.00 per share prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Following the Closing, the shares outstanding will no longer have any such redemption right and will be solely dependent upon the fundamental value of Pubco, which, like the securities of other companies formed through SPAC mergers in recent years, may be significantly less than $10.00 per share.
 
64

 
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the value of the Pubco ordinary share will be affected by many factors, including but not limited to (i) the dilution caused by existence, exercise and/or conversion of the Founder Shares and Pubco Warrants, (ii) significant legal, financial advisor, accounting, banking and consulting fees, fees relating to regulatory filings and notices, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing fees and other costs associated with the Business Combination and (iii) the dilution caused by any equity issued in connection with any financing.
Relativity stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.
Upon the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares to BIOT equityholders in connection with the Business Combination, current Relativity stockholders’ percentage ownership will be diluted. The percentage of Pubco ordinary share that will be owned by current Relativity stockholders as a group will vary based on both the number of Public Shares for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the Business Combination and the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to BIOT’ securityholders. To illustrate the potential ownership percentages of current relativity stockholders under different redemption levels, based on the fully diluted number of outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock on September 4, 2025 and the Contribution Consideration, current Relativity stockholders (including the Sponsor), as a group, will own (1) if there are no redemptions of 62,488 Public Shares, 21.9% of Pubco ordinary share expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination or (2) if there are the maximum number of redemptions of Public Shares, 21.7% of Pubco ordinary share expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination. Because of this, current Relativity stockholders, as a group, will have less influence on the board of directors, management and policies of Pubco than they now have on the board of directors, management and policies of Relativity.
At Closing, all Target Company’s ordinary shares will be exchanged for Pubco ordinary shares. As a result, it is anticipated that upon completion of the Business Combination, under a maximum redemption scenario, Relativity’s public stockholders and right holders will retain voting power of approximately 33.16% in the Pubco, Everise Concepts PLT, an advisory firm to the Target Company, will own approximately 1.04% of the Pubco, representing finder’s fees payable in Pubco ordinary shares with value equal to 2% of the aggregate Contribution Consideration for the Business Combination and the BIOT shareholders will have voting power of approximately 50.87% of the Pubco.
The market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the prices of shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, equity holders of shares of BIOT will become holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Prior to the Business Combination, Relativity has had limited operations, but shares are entitled to Redemption Rights. Upon completion of the Business Combination, Pubco’s results of operations will depend upon the performance of BIOT’ businesses, which are affected by factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of Relativity.
The removal of the net tangible asset requirement in connection with the Business Combination may result in a depressed net tangible assets calculation for Pubco, which may adversely affect the stock price of Pubco following the Business Combination.
Relativity stockholders are being asked to adopt a proposed amendment to the Current Charter prior to the Business Combination, which, in the judgement of the Relativity Board, may be necessary to facilitate the Business Combination. Net tangible assets are calculated as total assets, less intangible assets and total liabilities. Accordingly, the removal of the net tangible asset requirement, if there are significant redemptions coupled with the lower tangible assets of Pubco following the Business Combination may adversely affect the stock price of Pubco following the Business Combination.
Pubco maybe unable to qualify for listing on Nasdaq prior to the Business Combination, including as a result of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal being approved, and it may not be able to comply with the initial listing standards of Nasdaq following the Business Combination.
In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we intend to list Pubco ordinary share on Nasdaq under the symbol “BIOT.” Pubco will be required to demonstrate compliance with the Nasdaq’s
 
65

 
initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of Pubco’s securities on Nasdaq. While the parties to the Business Combination Agreement have taken steps to ensure that Pubco’s Common Stock will qualify for listing, no assurance can be given that Pubco will receive Nasdaq approval to list. Pubco’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on, among other items, the number of Public Shares that are redeemed.
The Current Charter provides that Relativity will not redeem Relativity Common Stock and consummate an Initial Business Combination if Relativity has less than $5,000,001 in net tangible assets. The purpose of this provision was to ensure that Relativity Common Stock is not deemed to be a “penny stock” pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, and that Relativity therefore would not be considered a “blank check company” as defined under Rule 419 of the Securities Act. If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved, Pubco may fail to meet the initial listing requirements of Nasdaq due to any limitation on Public Stockholder redemptions being removed, which may result in Pubco having a significantly smaller number of stockholders. Pubco being approved for listing on Nasdaq is a condition to the Business Combination.
If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists Pubco ordinary share from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, and Pubco is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, Pubco’s securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. The passage of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal together with the redemption of a significant number of Public Stockholders would make this more likely to occur. If this were to happen, Pubco and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

a limited availability of market quotations for Pubco’s securities;

reduced liquidity for Pubco’s securities;

to the extent that Pubco does not qualify for any of the other “penny stock” exemptions under the applicable provisions of Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, including that Pubco has a minimum of $5 million in net tangible assets, a determination that Pubco ordinary share is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Pubco ordinary share to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Pubco Ordinary Shares;

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
If Relativity were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, Relativity would be required to meet burdensome compliance requirements and its activities would be severely restricted. In that case, unless Relativity is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, Relativity would expect to abandon the efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate itself.
There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and the regulations thereunder, to a special purpose acquisition company such as Relativity. Notwithstanding an investment of proceeds in government securities, Relativity could nevertheless be considered to be operating as an unregistered investment company, and the longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that Relativity may be considered an unregistered investment company. Therefore, to mitigate the risk of being an investment company, in February 2024, the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of February 10, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), was amended to require the Trustee to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in cash items in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
If Relativity is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, Relativity’s activities would be severely restricted and Relativity would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. Although Relativity does not believe that its principal activities will subject itself to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, if Relativity is deemed to be an investment company and
 
66

 
subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, Relativity would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which Relativity has not allotted funds. As a result, unless Relativity were able to modify its activities so that Relativity would not be deemed an investment company, Relativity would expect to abandon its efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate itself. If Relativity is required to liquidate and dissolve, its investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning shares in the post-business combination company, including the potential appreciation in the value of Relativity’s shares and rights following such a transaction.
In connection with the Stockholder Special Meeting, Public Stockholders may need to comply with specific requirements for redemption of their Public Shares that may make it more difficult for Public Stockholders to exercise their Redemption Rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.
In connection with the Stockholders Special Meeting, each Public Stockholder will have the right, regardless of whether it is voting for or against the Business Combination, to demand that Relativity redeem its Public Shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account. Relativity may require Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination to either tender their certificates (if any) and redemption forms to the Transfer Agent or to deliver their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the Transfer Agent electronically using the DWAC System. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a Public Stockholder’s broker or clearing broker, DTC and the Transfer Agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is Relativity’s understanding that Public Stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, because Relativity does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. It is also Relativity’s understanding that it takes a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System. However, this too may not be the case. Accordingly, if it takes longer than Relativity anticipates for Public Stockholders to deliver their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms, Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their Redemption Rights and thus may be unable to redeem their Public Shares.
If Relativity requires Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares to comply with the delivery requirements for redemption, such redeeming stockholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the Business Combination is not approved.
If Relativity requires Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares to comply with specific delivery requirements for redemption described above and the Business Combination is not consummated, Relativity will promptly return such certificates to the tendering Public Stockholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until Relativity has returned their securities to them. The market price for Relativity Class A Common Stock may decline during this time and the Public Stockholders may not be able to sell their securities when they wish to, even while other stockholders that did not seek redemption may be able to sell their securities.
Relativity could be adversely affected by changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations thereof in the United States or other jurisdictions.
Relativity could be adversely affected by changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations thereof in the United States or other jurisdictions and changes in tax law could reduce Relativity’s after-tax income and adversely affect Relativity’s business and financial condition. For example, the U.S. federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), enacted in December 2017, resulted in fundamental changes to the Code, including, among many other things, a reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate, a partial limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense, a limitation on the deductibility of certain director and officer compensation expense, limitations on net operating loss carrybacks and carryovers and changes relating to the scope and timing of U.S. taxation on earnings from international business operations. Subsequent legislation, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), enacted on March 27, 2020, relaxed certain of the limitations imposed by the Tax Act for certain taxable years, including the limitation on the use and carryback of net operating losses and the limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense.
 
67

 
The exact impact of the Tax Act and the CARES Act for future years is difficult to quantify, but these changes could materially affect us, BIOT, Pubco, or our or their subsidiaries. In addition, other changes could be enacted in the future to increase the corporate tax rate, limit further the deductibility of interest, or effect other changes that could have a material adverse effect on Relativity’s financial condition. Such changes could also include increases in state taxes and other changes to state tax laws to replenish state and local government finances depleted by costs attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction in tax revenues due to the accompanying economic downturn.
In addition, Relativity’s effective tax rate and tax liability are based on the application of current income tax laws, regulations and treaties. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex and often open to interpretation. In the future, the tax authorities could challenge Relativity’s interpretation of laws, regulations and treaties, resulting in additional tax liability or adjustment to Relativity’s income tax provision that could increase Relativity’s effective tax rate. Changes to tax laws may also adversely affect Relativity’s ability to attract and retain key personnel.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, or our prospects.
The funds in our operating account and our Trust Account are held in banks or other financial institutions. Our cash held in non-interest bearing and interest-bearing accounts would exceed any applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Should events, including limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments, occur with respect to the banks or other financial institutions that hold our funds, or that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, our liquidity may be adversely affected. For example, on March 10, 2023, the FDIC announced that Silicon Valley Bank had been closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. We cannot guarantee that the banks or other financial institutions that hold our funds will not experience similar issues.
In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on terms favorable to us in connection with a potential business combination, or at all, and could have material adverse effect. Our business may be adversely impacted by these developments in ways that we cannot predict at this time, there may be additional risks that we have not yet identified and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to avoid negative consequences directly or indirectly from any failure of one or more banks or other financial institutions.
Relativity may be subject to the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in connection with redemptions after December 31, 2022.
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any publicly traded domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and because Relativity’s securities trade on Nasdaq, we are a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), who has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the Excise Tax, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with the Business Combination, unless an exemption is available. Generally, issuances of securities in connection with an initial business combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of an initial business combination), as well as any other issuances of securities not in connection with an initial business combination, would be expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year. However, because Pubco, and not Relativity, will be issuing securities in connection with the Business Combination, such issuances are not expected to qualify to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax. In addition, the Excise Tax would be payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder. Further, based on recently issued
 
68

 
interim guidance from the IRS and Treasury, subject to certain exceptions, the Excise Tax should not apply in the event of Relativity’s liquidation.
The Business Combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations, which may impose conditions on or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination. Such conditions or limitations could also potentially make shares of Class A Common Stock less attractive to investors or cause our future investments to be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations.
Relativity’s Sponsor is Relativity Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Sponsor currently owns 2,855,380 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock, purchased by the Sponsor in the private placement occurring prior to the IPO, and 653,750 Private Placement Units, that were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. Tarek Tabsh, Relativity’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of Relativity Board and a U.S. citizen, is the sole managing member of the Sponsor. Other members of the Sponsor include certain officers and directors of Relativity and other third party investors, who are all U.S. citizens. The Sponsor is not controlled by any non-U.S. persons on a look-through basis. To the best of Relativity’s knowledge, the Sponsor does not have substantial ties or substantial interests with any non-U.S. persons. The Sponsor is expected to own approximately 4.6% of the combined company following the Business Combination, assuming that the other conditions and assumptions incorporated in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” are also accurate as of the Closing Date.
Certain acquisitions or an initial business combination may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations. In the event that such regulatory approval or clearance is not obtained, or the review process is extended beyond the period of time that would permit an initial business combination to be consummated with us, we may not be able to consummate an initial business combination with such target. In addition, regulatory considerations may decrease the pool of potential target companies we may be willing or able to consider.
Among other things, the U.S. Federal Communications Act prohibits foreign individuals, governments, and corporations from owning more than a specified percentage of the capital stock of a broadcast, common carrier, or aeronautical radio station licensee. In addition, U.S. law currently restricts foreign ownership of U.S. airlines. In the United States, certain mergers that may affect competition may require certain filings and review by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, and investments or acquisitions that may affect national security are subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.
Outside the United States, laws or regulations may affect our ability to consummate an Initial Business Combination with potential target companies incorporated or having business operations in jurisdictions where national security considerations, involvement in regulated industries (including telecommunications), or in businesses where a country’s culture or heritage may be implicated.
U.S. and foreign regulators generally have the power to deny the ability of the parties to consummate a transaction or to condition approval of a transaction on specified terms and conditions, which may not be acceptable to us or a target. In such event, we may not be able to consummate a transaction with that potential target.
We do not believe that the business combination with BIOT is subject to review by CFIUS. However, if Relativity does not complete the business combination with BIOT, the pool of other potential targets with whom we could complete an Initial Business Combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in competing with other special purpose acquisition companies that do not have similar ownership issues. Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our Initial Business Combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive a pro rata amount of the funds in Relativity’s Trust Account, and our warrants will
 
69

 
expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
Risks Related to Pubco and Ownership of Pubco ordinary share
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us” and “our” in this subsection generally refer to BIOT in the present tense and Pubco from and after consummation of the Business Combination.
Our management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance obligations may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our businesses.
Most of the individuals who now constitute our management team have limited to no experience managing a publicly-traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our businesses, which could adversely affect our businesses. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company, which would increase our operating costs in future periods.
As a public reporting company, we will be subject to rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or report them in a timely manner, which could adversely affect our business.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, we will become a public reporting company subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These rules and regulations will require, among other things, that we establish and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to our internal control over financial reporting. Reporting obligations as a public company are likely to place a considerable strain on our financial and management systems, processes, and controls, as well as on our personnel.
In addition, prior to the Business Combination, we have not been required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting nor has our management been required to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls and our auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However, as a public company, we will be required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting by the time our second annual report is filed with the SEC and thereafter, which will require us to document and make significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting. As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations, which impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these public company requirements. Moreover, we expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We may need to hire additional legal, accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and maintain an internal audit function.
Likewise, as a public company, we may lose our status as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and become subject to the SEC’s internal control over financial reporting management and auditor attestation requirements in the year in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which
 
70

 
would occur once we are subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for twelve (12) months, have filed at least one SEC annual report and the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter. If we become subject to the SEC’s internal control reporting and attestation requirements, we might not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. In addition, our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of poor design and changes in our business, including increased complexity resulting from any international expansion. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely affect the results of assessments by our independent registered public accounting firm and their attestation reports.
We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting, which includes hiring additional accounting and financial personnel to implement such processes and controls. We expect to incur costs related to implementing an internal audit and compliance function in the upcoming years to further improve our internal control environment.
However, if we identify future deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting or if we are unable to comply with the demands that will be placed upon us as a public company, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in a timely or effective manner, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, or report them within the timeframes required by the SEC. We also could become subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In addition, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting when required, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, we may face restricted access to the capital markets and our stock price may be adversely affected.
Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may also become inadequate because of poor design or changes in our business, including increased complexity resulting from any international expansion, and weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods, undermine investor confidence in us and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.
Changing laws and regulations could create uncertainty for Pubco regarding compliance matters and result in higher costs.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations and may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs it may incur to respond to these requirements. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be adversely affected.
 
71

 
The rules and regulations applicable to public companies make it more expensive for Pubco to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, which could adversely affect its ability to attract and retain qualified officers and directors.
The rules and regulations applicable to public companies make it more expensive for Pubco to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, and Pubco may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The potential for increased personal liability could also make it more difficult for Pubco to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on its audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.
Following the completion of the Business Combination, Tomoki Nagano will each control a large percentage of Pubco’s voting power and will be able to exert control over the direction of its business.
We estimate that immediately following the closing of the Business Combination, Tomoki Nagano will exercise voting and investment control over approximately 19,970,100 Pubco Ordinary Shares, respectively, or 90% of the total Pubco Ordinary Shares oustanding, assuming no redemptions of Public Shares by Public Stockholders and no exercise of Pubco Warrants.
Accordingly, for so long as Mr. Nagano holds such shares, he will continue to control a significant percentage of the voting power of Pubco ordinary share and will be able to influence the composition of the Pubco Board and management and the approval of actions requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership could also deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for your Pubco Ordinary Shares as part of a sale of us and ultimately might affect the market price of Pubco ordinary share.
Pubco will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, may qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If Pubco relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
Following the Business Combination, Mr. Nagano will own more than 50% of the voting power and Pubco will be considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements that (1) a majority of board of directors of such company consist of independent directors, (2) that such company’s board of directors have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that such company’s board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. While Pubco does not intend to take advantage of these exemptions, it may do so in the future. As a result, Pubco’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
An active, liquid market for Pubco’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Pubco’s securities.
The price of Pubco’s securities may vary significantly due to factors specific to Pubco as well as to general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active, liquid trading market for Pubco’s securities may never develop, or, if developed, it may not be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities without depressing the market price for the securities or at all unless an active, liquid market can be established and sustained. An inactive trading market may also impair Pubco’s ability to attract and motivate employees through equity incentive awards and to acquire other companies, products or technologies by using shares of capital stock as consideration.
 
72

 
The market price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares may decline as a result of the Business Combination.
The market price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares may decline as a result of the Business Combination for a number of reasons, including if:

investors react negatively to the prospects of Pubco’s business and the prospects of the Business Combination;

the effect of the Business Combination on Pubco’s business and prospects is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or

Pubco does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Business Combination as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts.
Pubco’s stock price may change significantly following the Business Combination, even if Pubco’s business is doing well, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.
The trading price of Pubco Ordinary Shares is likely to be volatile. The stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your Pubco Ordinary Shares at an attractive price due to a number of factors such as those listed in “— Risks Related to Relativity and the Business Combination” and the following:

results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

results of operations that vary from those of Pubco’s competitors;

changes in expectations as to Pubco’s future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors;

declines in the market prices of stocks generally;

strategic actions by Pubco or its competitors;

announcements by Pubco or its competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;

any significant change in Pubco’s management;

changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in Pubco’s industry or markets;

changes in business or regulatory conditions, including new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to Pubco’s business;

future sales of Pubco ordinary share or other securities;

investor perceptions of the investment opportunity associated with Pubco ordinary share relative to other investment alternatives;

the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by Pubco or third parties, including Pubco’s filings with the SEC;

litigation involving Pubco, Pubco’s industry, or both, or investigations by regulators into the Pubco Board, Pubco’s operations or those of Pubco’s competitors;

guidance, if any, that Pubco provides to the public, any changes in this guidance or Pubco’s failure to meet this guidance;

the development and sustainability of an active trading market for Pubco ordinary share;

actions by institutional or activist stockholders;

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles; and

other events or factors, including those resulting from pandemics, natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.
 
73

 
These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of Pubco ordinary share, regardless of Pubco’s actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of Pubco ordinary share is low.
In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If Pubco were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from Pubco’s business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.
Pubco may be subject to securities class action litigation, which may harm its business and operating results.
Companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. Pubco may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against Pubco could result in substantial costs and damages and divert Pubco management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm Pubco’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Pubco may also be called on to defend itself against lawsuits relating to its business operations. Some of these claims may seek significant damages amounts. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be accurately predicted. A future unfavorable outcome in a legal proceeding could have an adverse impact on Pubco’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, current and future litigation, regardless of its merits, could result in substantial legal fees, settlements or judgment costs and a diversion of Pubco management’s attention and resources that are needed to successfully run Pubco’s business.
Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on Pubco Ordinary Shares for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your Pubco Ordinary Shares at a price greater than what you paid for it.
Pubco intends to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment, and there are no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on Pubco Ordinary Shares will be at the sole discretion of the Pubco Board. The Pubco Board may take into account general and economic conditions, Pubco’s financial condition and results of operations, Pubco’s available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, implications of the payment of dividends by Pubco to its stockholders or by its subsidiaries to it and such other factors as the Pubco Board may deem relevant. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in the Pubco Ordinary Shares unless you sell your Pubco Ordinary Shares for a price greater than that which you paid for it.
Pubco may issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity or convertible debt securities without seeking approval of the Pubco stockholders, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will have warrants outstanding to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,028,750 Pubco Ordinary Shares. Further, Pubco may choose to seek third-party financing to provide additional working capital for the Pubco business, in which event Pubco may issue additional Pubco ordinary share or other equity securities or convertible debt securities. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco may also issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future for any reason or in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions, the redemption of outstanding warrants or repayment of outstanding indebtedness, without stockholder approval, in a number of circumstances.
The issuance of additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects:

Pubco’s existing stockholders’ proportionate ownership interest in Pubco will decrease;

the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;
 
74

 

the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding pubco ordinary share may be diminished; and

the market price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares may decline.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about Pubco’s business, if they change their recommendations regarding the Pubco Ordinary Shares or if Pubco’s operating results do not meet their expectations, the price and trading volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares could decline.
The trading market for Pubco Ordinary Shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about Pubco or its businesses. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of Pubco, the trading price for Pubco Ordinary Shares could be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover Pubco downgrade its securities or publish unfavorable research about its businesses, or if Pubco’s operating results do not meet analyst expectations, the trading price of Pubco Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of Pubco or fail to publish reports on Pubco regularly, demand for Pubco Ordinary Shares could decrease, which might cause the pubco ordinary share price and trading volume to decline. Accordingly, holders of Pubco ordinary share may experience a loss as a result of a decline in the market price of such common stock. In addition, a decline in the market price of Pubco ordinary share could adversely affect Pubco’s ability to issue additional securities and to obtain additional financing in the future.
Pubco management’s ability to require holders of Pubco Public Warrants to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis will cause holders to receive fewer Pubco Ordinary Shares upon their exercise of the Pubco Public Warrants than they would have received had they been able to exercise such warrants for cash.
If Pubco calls the Pubco Public Warrants for redemption after the redemption criteria described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus have been satisfied, Pubco’s management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise Pubco Public Warrants (including any Pubco Public Warrants held by the Initial Stockholders or their permitted transferees) to do so on a “cashless basis.” If Relativity’s management chooses to require holders to exercise their Pubco Public Warrants on a cashless basis, the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares received by a holder upon exercise will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised his Pubco Public Warrants for cash. This will have the effect of reducing the potential “upside” of the holder’s investment in Pubco.
Pubco may redeem unexpired Pubco Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous for warrant holders.
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 last reported sales price of Pubco Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third business day prior to the date Pubco sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the Pubco Public Warrants become redeemable by Pubco, Pubco may exercise its redemption right if there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants. Redemption of the outstanding Pubco Public Warrants could force you to: (i) exercise your warrants and pay the related exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so; (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (iii) 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 warrants. None of the Pubco Private Warrants will be redeemable by Pubco for cash so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.
In the event Pubco determines to redeem the Pubco Public Warrants, holders of the Pubco Public Warrants would be notified of such redemption as described in the warrant agreement governing the Pubco Warrants. Specifically, in the event that Pubco elects to redeem all of the redeemable warrants as described above, Pubco will fix a warrant redemption date. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by Pubco not less than 30 days prior to such date to the registered holders of the
 
75

 
redeemable warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner provided in the warrant agreement governing the Pubco Warrants will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption via Pubco’s posting of the redemption notice to DTC.
There will be material differences between your current rights as a holder of Relativity Common Stock and the rights one will have as a holder of Pubco ordinary share, some of which may adversely affect you.
Upon completion of the Business Combination, Relativity stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Relativity, but will be stockholders of Pubco. There will be material differences between the current rights of Relativity stockholders and the rights you will have as a holder of Pubco ordinary share, some of which may adversely affect you.
Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by Pubco or its stockholders in the public market following the Business Combination could cause the market price for Pubco Ordinary Shares to decline, even if Pubco’s business is doing well.
The sale of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for Pubco to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, it is currently expected that Pubco will have a total of 28,816,338 Pubco Ordinary Shares outstanding (excluding the exercise of any Pubco Warrants and assuming that there are no redemptions of any shares by Public Stockholders in connection with the Business Combination). All shares currently held by Public Stockholders and all of the shares issued in the Business Combination to existing BIOT securityholders will be freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act, and without restriction by persons other than Pubco’s “affiliates” ​(as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act), including Pubco’s directors, executive officers and other affiliates.
Relativity and Pubco expect to enter into Lock-Up Agreements with the Purchaser Representative, the BIOT Founder and the insiders party thereto prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, the lock-up contained in Section 7(a) of the IPO Letter Agreement will terminate at the consummation of the Business Combination. In addition, (i) the directors and officers of combined company will agree, with respect to all of the Pubco Ordinary Shares that they will receive in the Business Combination and (ii) the remaining sponsor subscriber parties to the IPO Letter Agreement will agree, pursuant to the Non-D&O Lock Up Agreement, with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares not subject to escrow that they will receive in the Business Combination, not to transfer any such shares during the period commencing from the Closing and ending on the earlier of (i) 12 months after the date of the Closing or (ii) the date after the Closing on which Pubco consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of Pubco’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in Pubco for cash, securities or other property. As restrictions on resale end and the registration statements for such shares become available for use, the market price of Pubco ordinary share could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
Relativity currently is, and Pubco will be, an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if Pubco takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements and extended transition periods to adopt new or revised accounting standards available to emerging growth companies, this could make Relativity’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare Relativity’s performance with other public companies.
Relativity is currently, and, following the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will be, an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. Pubco may continue to 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,
 
76

 
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in 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. As a result, Pubco stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We cannot predict whether investors will find securities issued by Pubco less attractive because Pubco will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find those securities less attractive as a result of its reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of Pubco’s securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for Pubco’s securities and the trading prices of Pubco’s securities may be more volatile.
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. Relativity 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, Pubco, 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 Pubco’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Pubco will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the Closing of the Business Combination, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which Pubco has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion; (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which Pubco is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of Pubco Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year; or (iv) the date on which Pubco has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
The warrant agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our company.
The warrant agreement that will govern the Pubco Warrants provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (ii) that we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. We will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the warrant agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our warrants will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the warrant agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions of the warrant agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any holder of Pubco Warrants, such holder will be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an
 
77

 
Enforcement Action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such warrant holder.
This choice-of-forum provision may limit a Pubco Warrant holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with our company, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the warrant agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.
Holders of the Pubco Warrants may have to pay taxes if Pubco adjusts the conversion rate of the Pubco Warrants in certain circumstances, even though such holders would not receive any cash.
Upon certain adjustments to (or certain failures to make adjustments to) the conversion rate of the Pubco Warrants, holders of the Pubco Warrants may be deemed to have received a distribution from Pubco, resulting in taxable income to them for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though holders would not receive any cash in connection with such adjustment to (or failure to adjust) the conversion rate. If you are a non-U.S. Holder (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of the Pubco Warrants, any deemed dividend may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Please consult your tax advisor and read “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an adjustment to the conversion rate of the Pubco Warrants.
If Pubco is characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences.
If Pubco is a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. holder of Pubco Ordinary Shares, the U.S. holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. Pubco’s PFIC status for its current and subsequent taxable years may depend on its unbooked goodwill as valued based on the projected market value of Pubco’s equity. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

THE SPECIAL MEETING
General
Relativity is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by the Relativity Board for use at the Stockholder Special Meeting to be held on March 25, 2026 and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus provides Relativity’s stockholders and Public Warrant Holders with information they need to know to be able to vote or direct their vote to be cast at the Stockholder Special Meeting and Warrant Holders Special Meeting, respectively.
Date, Time and Place
The Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted via live webcast. You will be able to attend the Meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the Meeting by visiting https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/21843349607187?p=Q2TxqmuTj5WECuB2rI. on March 25, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, or at such other time, on such other date and at such place to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned.
On or about March 5, 2026, Relativity commenced mailing this proxy statement/prospectus and the enclosed form of proxy card to its stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
Purpose of the Special Meeting
At the Stockholder Special Meeting, Relativity stockholders are being asked to vote on the following Proposals:

the Business Combination Proposal;

the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal; and

the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal (if necessary).
Record Date; Persons Entitled to Vote
The Relativity Board has fixed the close of business on February 25, 2026 as the Record Date for determining Relativity 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 4,400,795 shares of Relativity Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, consisting of 4,400,794 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one share of Relativity Class B Common Stock. Each share of Relativity Common Stock is entitled to one vote at their respective Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Initial Stockholders own approximately 98.5% of the total outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock.
Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting
A quorum of Relativity stockholders or Public Warrant Holders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Stockholder Special Meeting if a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock entitled to vote as of the Record Date are represented or by proxy. Abstentions will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The Initial Stockholders, who currently own approximately 96.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, will count towards the quorum for the Stockholder Special Meeting. As a result, as of the Record Date, in addition to the Initial Stockholders, no additional holders of Relativity Common Stock would be required to be present at the Stockholder Special Meeting to achieve a quorum.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Relativity Common Stock that are voted at the Stockholder Special Meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal. Consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal at the Stockholder Special Meeting, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.
The approval of the redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, voting together as a
 
79

 
single class. The approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.
Recommendation to Relativity’s Stockholders
The Relativity Board has determined that each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Relativity and its stockholders, has unanimously approved the Business Combination Proposal and Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, and recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and “FOR” the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Stockholder Special Meeting.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination
In considering the recommendation of the Relativity Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors, officers and the sponsor, and their related promoters and affiliates have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Relativity’s stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

if Relativity does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), it would either need stockholders to vote for an Extension of such date or cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the Relativity Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders, which were initially acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. The aggregate value of the Founder Shares is estimated to be approximately $29,859,925, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $7.03 closing price of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and are expected to have a significantly higher value than $25,000 at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination). As a result, the Initial Stockholders are likely to be able to recoup their investment in Relativity and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if after the Closing Pubco ordinary share loses significant value. This means that the Initial Stockholders could earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-Business Combination company. Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination (such as the Business Combination) rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. Each of the 653,750 Relativity Private Warrants included in the Private Placement Units is exercisable to purchase one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. If we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination transaction by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), then a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless. The Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units has an aggregate market value of approximately $4,595,863 based upon the closing price of $7.03 of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,492,213 based upon the closing price of $12.99 per Public Unit on Nasdaq on January 11, 2023, the date the units stopped trading (the “Trading Halt”). Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor,
 
80

 
may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have agreed, as part of the IPO and to induce Relativity and the underwriters to enter into the underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO, not to redeem any shares of Relativity Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed Initial Business Combination;

in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify Relativity if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Relativity, 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 (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable (which interest will be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (or such other date as approved by Relativity’s stockholders), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to Relativity’s Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors, and their respective promoters and affiliates, will only receive compensation (in the form of securities received prior to or in conjunction with Relativity’s initial public offering, and that if the Business Combination does not close, they will receive no compensation for their services to Relativity;

the fact that the target company’s officers and directors may in the future receive equity awards from Instinct Bio that will be publicly traded, which they would not receive if the Business Combination does not close.

the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Public Stockholders vote, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced;

following consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor, Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an Initial Business Combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, on such terms as to be determined by Relativity from time to time, made by Sponsor or certain of Relativity’s officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. However, if Relativity fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within the required period, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. However, there have been no material out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement to date and Relativity does not anticipate any such expenses prior to Closing;

following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Relativity and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Relativity for working capital expenses;
 
81

 

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the required period, it may use a portion of its working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans;

the Sponsor will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement at Closing, which provides for registration rights of the Sponsor and certain other stockholders following consummation of the Business Combination; and

Relativity’s 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 Business Combination Agreement.
These interests, which create actual and potential conflicts of interest further described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.” Accordingly, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidating Relativity. The Relativity Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and these interests are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Relativity with any other target business or businesses, (iii) the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco, which may be affected by various other factors other than these interests and (iv) Relativity retained ErShares to provide a fairness opinion to the Relativity Board in connection with the Business Combination and, on February 24, 2025 ErShares delivered its opinion to the Relativity Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For a description of the opinion issued by ErShares to the Relativity Board, please see the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of ErShares as Fairness Opinion Provider.” In addition, Relativity’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation of the Business Combination and in unanimously approving, as members of the Relativity Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum at the Special Meeting.
Under Nasdaq rules, if a stockholder or Public Warrant Holder holds their shares in “street” name through a bank, broker or other nominee and the stockholder or Public Warrant Holder does not instruct their broker, bank or other nominee how to vote their shares on a Proposal, the broker, bank or other nominee has the authority to vote the shares in its discretion on certain “routine” matters. However, banks, brokers and other nominees are not authorized to exercise their voting discretion on any “non-routine” matters. This can result in a “broker non-vote,” which occurs on a proposal when (i) a bank, broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote on one or more “routine” proposals to be voted on at a meeting of stockholders, (ii) there are one or more “non-routine” proposals to be voted on at the meeting for which the bank, broker or other nominee does not have authority to vote without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and (iii) the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker or other nominee with voting instructions on a “non-routine” matter.
We believe that all of the Proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting will be considered non-routine matters. As a result, if you hold your shares in street name, your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee cannot vote your shares or Public Warrants on any of the Proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting without your instruction.
Because all of the Proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters, banks, brokers and other nominees will not have authority to vote on any Proposals unless instructed, so Relativity does not expect there to be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares
If you were a holder of record of Relativity Common Stock as of the close of business on February 25, 2026, the Record Date for the Special Meeting, you may vote with respect to the Proposals in person at the Special Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. Your proxy card shows the number of Relativity Common Stock that you own, as applicable. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.
There are two ways to vote your Relativity Common Stock at the Special Meeting:

Voting by Mail.   By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the Stockholder Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. You are encouraged to sign and return the applicable proxy card even if you plan to attend a Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on           , 2025.

You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person.   If you attend a Special Meeting, you may vote in person. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder or warrant holder of record and you have the right to vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting. If you hold your share 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 in person, you will need to bring to the Special Meeting a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee authorizing you to vote these shares.
Revoking Your Proxy
If you are a Relativity stockholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

you may notify Advantage Proxy, Inc., Relativity’s proxy solicitor, in writing before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

you may attend the Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Redemption Rights
Public Stockholders may seek to redeem the Public Shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for the Business Combination, against the Business Combination or do not vote in relation to the Business Combination. Any Public Stockholder may request redemption of their Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (less taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of
 
83

 
the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.
The Initial stockholders will not have Redemption Rights with respect to any shares of Relativity Common Stock owned by them, directly or indirectly.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:
(i)
hold (a) Public Shares or (b) Public Shares through Public Units and you elect to separate such units into the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
(ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 23, 2026, (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that Relativity redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your share certificates for your Public Shares (if any) to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.
If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Public Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. In the event the Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.
Holders of Public Units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Public Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Public Units into the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct them to do so.
Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time, with Relativity’s consent, until the closing of the Business Combination. If Relativity receives valid redemption requests from holders of Public Shares prior to the redemption deadline, Relativity may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing, seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. Relativity may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors we may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account, including where Relativity otherwise would not satisfy the Closing condition that the amount in the Trust Account, following payment of the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy any redemptions and payment of all Relativity and BIOT transaction expenses. If a holder of Public Shares delivered its Public Shares for redemption to the Transfer Agent and decides within the required timeframe not to exercise its Redemption Rights, it may request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.
If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then Public Stockholders who elected to exercise their Redemption Rights will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares. In such case, Relativity will promptly return any Public Shares previously delivered by Public Stockholders.
If a Public Stockholder exercises its Redemption Rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own those Public Shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for your Public Shares only if (i) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 23, 2026, you properly exercise your right to redeem the Public Shares that you will hold upon the Closing and deliver your Relativity Common Stock (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent and (ii) the Business Combination is consummated.

No Appraisal Rights
Neither Relativity stockholders nor Relativity warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL.

Relativity is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Relativity and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Relativity will bear the cost of the solicitation.
Relativity has engaged AdvantageProxy to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Relativity will pay that firm a fee of $12,500, with expenses estimated to be $1,500. Such fee will be paid with non-Trust Account funds.
Relativity 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. Relativity will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL
Overview
Holders of Relativity Common Stock are being asked to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination contemplated thereby. Relativity stockholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annexes A-1, to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement” below for additional information regarding the Business Combination and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this Proposal.
Because we are holding a stockholder vote on the Business Combination, we may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Relativity Common Stock, voting together as a single class at a stockholder meeting held to consider the Business Combination at which a quorum is present.
The Business Combination Agreement
This section of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements. Relativity’s stockholders and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this section “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement” are defined in the Business Combination Agreement.
The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates, including, in some cases, as of the Closing. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure schedules attached thereto, which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders. The disclosure schedules were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Relativity does not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.
Purpose of the Reincorporation to the Cayman Islands
The purpose of the Merger is to establish a Cayman Islands exempted company as the parent entity of BIOT that would be a “foreign private issuer” as that term is defined under the Exchange Act. As a result of the Merger, Relativity shareholders will no longer be shareholders of Relativity and (other than Relativity shareholders who exercise their redemption rights) will become shareholders of Pubco, a foreign private issuer.
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, Pubco will not be required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC, and will not be required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that U.S. domestic issuers are required to disclose. Pubco will also be permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with Cayman Islands law in lieu of most of the corporate governance rules set forth by Nasdaq. As a result, Pubco’s corporate governance practices differ in some respects from those required to be followed by U.S. companies listed on a national securities exchange.

General Terms and Effects; Business Combination Consideration
On February 28, 2025, Relativity entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub, Pubco, BIOT, Sellers and the Founder. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, in accordance with the DGCL, Companies Act and other applicable law, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Relativity, with Relativity continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and with security holders of Relativity receiving substantially equivalent securities of Pubco; (ii) the Sellers will contribute all of its ownership interests in the Operating Company to Pubco in exchange for aggregate consideration in the amount of $225,000,000, to be paid in Pubco Ordinary Shares valued at $10.00 per share, and as a result of which the Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco; and (iii) Pubco will become a publicly traded company. At the Closing, each Relativity Public Warrant will be converted into one Pubco Public Warrant and each Relativity Private Warrant will be converted into one Pubco Private Warrant, in each case with such Pubco Warrant having substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the respective Relativity Warrants, except that in each case they will represent the right to acquire Pubco Ordinary Shares in lieu of shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock.
Representations and Warranties
The Business Combination Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties by each of Relativity, Pubco, Merger Sub and the Operating Company. Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” as used in the Business Combination Agreement means with respect to any specified person, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of such person or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the ancillary documents to which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations thereunder, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions. Certain of the representations are subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Business Combination Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Business Combination Agreement. The Operating Company has delivered its disclosure schedules required under the Business Combination Agreement to Relativity prior to August 12, 2025, with the disclosures effective as of February 28, 2025, the date of the Business Combination Agreement.
No Survival
The representations and warranties of the parties terminate as of and do not survive the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties shall not survive the Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which covenants and agreements will survive until fully performed.
Covenants of the Parties
Each party agreed in the Business Combination Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Closing. The Business Combination Agreement also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties during the period between the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, including those relating to: (1) the provision of access to their properties, books and personnel; (2) the provision by the Operating Company of responses to Relativity’s due diligence requests; (3) provision of the audited financial statements of the Operating Company by the Seller Representative no later than May 30, 2025; (4) Relativity making all required public filings; (5) no solicitation; (6) no insider trading; (7) notifications of certain breaches, consent requirements or other matters; (8) efforts to consummate the Closing; (9) preparation and filing of registration statement; (10) relisting of purchaser’s securities; (11) public announcements; (12) confidentiality; (13) retention of documents and information; (14) post-closing board of directors and executive officers; (15) indemnification; (16) trust account proceeds; (17) further assurances; and (18) the operation of their respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; provided
 
87

 
that in the case of the Operating Company their only covenant is to not make any divided or distribution except consistent with past practices and to enter into related party transactions only on arms’ length terms. Each party also agreed during the Interim Period not to solicit or enter into any written inquiry, proposal or offer, or any indication of interest in making an offer or proposal for an alternative competing transactions, to notify the others as promptly as practicable in writing of the receipt of any inquiries, proposals or offers, requests for information or requests relating to an alternative competing transaction or any requests for non-public information relating to such transaction, and to keep the others informed of the status of any such inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information. There are also certain customary post-Closing covenants regarding (1) tax matters; (2) maintenance of books and records; (3) indemnification of directors and officers; and (4) use of trust account proceeds. During the Interim Period, Relativity may, but is not required to, enter into financing agreements on such terms as Relativity and the Seller Representative agree.
Registration Statement on Form F-4
Relativity and BIOT agreed that Relativity will prepare, with the reasonable assistance of BIOT, and Pubco will file with the SEC, the registration statement on Form F-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part to solicit proxies from Relativity’s stockholders to approve, among other things, the Proposals relating to the Business Combination.
The Special Meeting
Relativity agreed to call and hold the Special Meeting as promptly as practicable after the date on which this registration statement becomes effective for the purpose of voting solely upon the Proposals.
Stock Exchange Listing
Each of Relativity and BIOT will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Pubco ordinary share to be issued in connection with the Business Combination and the Pubco Warrants (and the Pubco ordinary share issuable upon exercise thereof) to be approved for listing on Nasdaq at the Closing.

Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including:

by mutual written consent of Relativity and BIOT;

by either Relativity or BIOT if any of the conditions to Closing have not been satisfied or waived by December 31, 2025 (the “Outside Date”), provided, that the right to terminate the Business Combination Agreement shall not be available to either the Purchaser or the Target Company if the breach or violation by either the Operating Company or its affiliates, or a Purchaser Party or their respective affiliates, as applicable, of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under the Business Combination Agreement was the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date;

by written notice by BIOT to Relativity, as long as BIOT has provided all requested or required information to Relativity, if (i) Relativity or Pubco fails to complete its due diligence on BIOT within the Due Diligence Period (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (ii) Relativity or Pubco fails to obtain all necessary approvals from relevant authorities for the Merger by April 30, 2025; or (iii) Pubco fails to apply for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market ten (10) business days after the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC.
If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement (except for certain obligations related to publicity, confidentiality, fees and expenses, trust fund waiver, no recourse, termination and general provisions) will terminate, and no party to the Business Combination Agreement will have any further liability to any other party thereto except for liability for fraud. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated because the Sellers have entered into an agreement for an alternative transaction in violation of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Purchaser Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred prior to such termination.
Expenses
The fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants and administrative costs and expenses, will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, subject to certain exceptions; provided that, if the Closing occurs, then Pubco will pay, or cause to be paid, all unpaid BIOT expenses and all unpaid Relativity expenses in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement.
Trust Account Waiver
Each Seller agreed that they will not have any right, title, interest of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) other than in connection with the Closing.
Purchaser Representative and Seller Representative
The Sponsor is serving as the Purchaser Representative under the Business Combination Agreement, and in such capacity will represent the interests of Relativity’s stockholders (other than the Sellers) after the
 
90

 
Closing with respect to certain matters under the Business Combination Agreement. Tomoki Nagano is serving as the Seller Representative under the Business Combination Agreement, and in such capacity will represent the interests of the BIOT Founder and the Sellers after the Closing with respect to certain matters under the Business Combination Agreement. The nature of the scope and the duties of the Purchaser Representative are limited and are largely administrative and ministerial (such as being able to review Pubco’s books and records and approving public announcement relating to the business combination).
Governing Law
The Business Combination Agreement is governed by Delaware law and the parties are subject to exclusive jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware (and any appellate courts thereof).
Related Agreements
This section describes the material provisions of certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Related Agreements”) but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof or include all of the additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of each of the Related Agreements, certain of which are filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. Stockholders, warrant holders and other interested parties are urged to read such Related Agreements in their entirety.
Lock-Up Agreements
At the Closing of the Transactions, certain stockholders of BIOT will enter into a lock-up agreement pursuant to which such holders shall agree, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Pubco ordinary shares to be received by them in connection with the Business Combination (such shares, together with any ordinary shares received or issuable upon settlement of restricted share units or the exercise of options to purchase any Pubco ordinary shares, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Pubco ordinary shares, in each case, directly or indirectly held by, or beneficially owned by, such holder immediately after the Closing, the “Lock-up Shares”), (ii) enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-up Shares or otherwise or engage in any short sales or other arrangement with respect to the Lock-up Shares, or (iv) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in any of the foregoing clauses until the date that is twelve months after the date of the Closing (the “Lock-up Period”).
Non-Competition Agreement
The Founder will enter into certain Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (“Non-Competition Agreement”) in favor of Pubco, the Operating Company and their direct and indirect subsidiaries and their respective present and future successors and direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Covered Parties”), to be effective as of the Closing. Under the Non-Competition Agreements, the signatory thereto will agree not to, without Pubco’s prior written consent, compete with the Covered Parties for a period of three years following the Closing and, during such three-year restricted period, not to solicit employees or customers of the Covered Parties. The Non-Competition Agreement also contain customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.
A&R Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco, the Initial Stockholders, Sponsor and the Sellers will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Pubco will be required to register for resale securities held by the stockholders party thereto. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the stockholders party thereto will also be provided with certain “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights. Pubco will bear certain expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.
 
91

 
The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will amend and restate the IPO Registration Rights Agreement.
Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination
The following table summarizes the sources and uses for funding the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, assuming (i) none of the Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) the maximum number of Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination while still satisfying the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.
Where actual amounts are not known or knowable, the figures below represent Relativity’s good faith estimate of such amounts assuming a Closing as of December 31, 2025.

Transaction costs of approximately $5.5 million are expected to be settled through the issuance of Pubco’s equity rather than cash and, accordingly, will not result in a cash outflow upon Closing.
Interests of the Certain Persons in the Business Combination
In considering the recommendation of the Relativity Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of Relativity’s stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

if Relativity does not consummate an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), it would either need stockholders to vote for an Extension of such date or cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the Relativity Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders, which were initially acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to the IPO, would be worthless because the holders are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. The aggregate value of the Founder Shares is estimated to be approximately $29,859,925, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $7.03 closing price of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and are expected to have a significantly higher value than $25,000 at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination). As a result, the Initial Stockholders are likely to be able to recoup their investment in Relativity and make a substantial profit on that investment, even if after the Closing Pubco ordinary share loses significant value. This means that the Initial Stockholders could earn a positive rate of return on
 
92

 
their investment, even if Public Stockholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-Business Combination company. Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination (such as the Business Combination) rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. Each of the 653,750 Relativity Private Warrants included in the Private Placement Units is exercisable to purchase one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. If we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination transaction by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), then a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless. The Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units has an aggregate market value of approximately $4,595,863 based upon the closing price of $7.03 of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026, and the Private Placement Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $8,492,213 based upon the closing price of $12.99 per Public Unit on Nasdaq on January 11, 2023, the date the units stopped trading (the “Trading Halt”). Accordingly, Relativity’s management team, which owns interests in the Sponsor, may have an economic incentive that differs from that of the Public Stockholders to pursue and consummate an Initial Business Combination rather than to liquidate and to return all of the cash in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, even if that business combination were with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidate;

the fact that the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have agreed, as part of the IPO and to induce Relativity and the underwriters to enter into the underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO, not to redeem any shares of Relativity Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed Initial Business Combination;

in order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will indemnify Relativity if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Relativity, 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 (1) $10.20 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable (which interest will be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (or such other date as approved by Relativity’s stockholders), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be included in the liquidating distribution to Relativity’s Public Stockholders and the Private Placement Units sold to the Sponsor will be worthless;

the fact that the Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers have also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Public Stockholders vote, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced;
 
93

 

following consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor, Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates would be entitled to reimbursement for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an Initial Business Combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, on such terms as to be determined by Relativity from time to time, made by Sponsor or certain of Relativity’s officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. However, if Relativity fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within the required period, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. However, there have been no material out-of-pocket expenses subject to reimbursement to date and Relativity does not anticipate any such expenses prior to Closing;

following the Closing, the Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to Relativity and remain outstanding. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has not made any advances to Relativity for working capital expenses;

if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the required period, it may use a portion of its working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans;

the Sponsor will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement at Closing, which provides for registration rights of the Sponsor and certain other stockholders following consummation of the Business Combination; and

Relativity’s 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 Business Combination Agreement.
These interests, which create actual and potential conflicts of interest further described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.” Accordingly, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidating Relativity. The Relativity Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) certain of these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO and these interests are disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by Relativity with any other target business or businesses, (iii) the Sponsor and Relativity’s directors and officers will hold equity interests in Pubco with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of Pubco, which may be affected by various other factors other than these interests and (iv) Relativity retained ErShares to provide a fairness opinion to the Relativity Board in connection with the Business Combination and, on February 24, 2025 ErShares delivered its opinion to the Relativity Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For a description of the opinion issued by ErShares to the Relativity Board, please see the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of ErShares as Fairness Opinion Provider.” In addition, Relativity’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation of the Business Combination and in unanimously approving, as members of the Relativity Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Background of the Business Combination
Relativity Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company incorporated on February 14, 2022 as a Delaware company with limited liability for the purpose of effecting a merger, a share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Relativity to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), none of the funds held in the Trust Account have been or will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of Relativity’s Initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any
 
94

 
Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Relativity Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of Relativity’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if Relativity does not complete its Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Initial Business Combination activity, and (iii) Relativity’s redemption of the Public Shares if it does not complete its Initial Business Combination within the required time period.
Prior to the consummation of the IPO on February 14, 2022 neither Relativity, nor anyone on its behalf, had contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with Instinct Brothers.
The proposed Business Combination was the result of a broad search for a potential transaction using the network and investing and operating experience of the Relativity management team and Relativity’s board of directors. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement were the result of negotiations among Relativity, Instinct Brothers and their respective representatives and advisors. The following is a brief description and chronological summary of the background to the Business Combination and related transactions that led to the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, including all material discussions and information related to the background and negotiation of the Business Combination, but it does not purport to catalogue every conversation and correspondence by and among Relativity, Instinct Brothers and their respective representatives and advisors.
From the consummation date of Relativity’s IPO on February 14, 2022 through February 28, 2025, the execution date of the Merger Agreement with Instinct Brothers, Relativity considered a total of over 40 potential target companies with the objective of consummating a business combination. Relativity’s representatives contacted and were contacted by a number of individuals and entities who offered to present ideas and opportunities for a business combination, including financial advisors and companies that have their operations in the North America, South America, Europe, Africa or Asia. Relativity compiled a list of potential targets and updated and supplemented such list from time to time. Such list was periodically shared with the Board. Relativity’s management reviewed, among others, the financial performance, management team, industry and a description of each potential candidate. Relativity’s management conducted meetings with the management teams of potential targets or their representatives, or obtained written information regarding the potential targets. During meetings, Relativity’s management endeavored to better understand the potential targets, along with aspects of their business operations, the market landscape, their competitive advantage, their cash needs and other factors. Subsequently, the potential targets were presented to the board of directors for deliberation during the process of narrowing the target companies. In the process of selecting potential target companies, Relativity’s CEO considered a number and wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to (i) the size and growth of the relevant industry, (ii) competitive advantages, (iii) management and director team, (iv) the valuation requested, (v) whether the potential target had recurring revenue, (vi) likelihood of completing the business combination, and (vii) financial performance. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation, Relativity’s CEO and Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that was considered in reaching their determination and supporting their decision.
The potential target companies evaluated were in a range of sectors including but not limited to cybersecurity, solar technology, oil and gas, clean tech, shipping and logistics, real estate & hospitality, fintech, off-price retail, medical innovations, medical devices, synthetic diamond production, pharmaceuticals, among others. Of the original companies it had evaluated, Relativity executed non-disclosure agreements with over 30 potential targets businesses or their representatives. Of the companies with which Relativity did not enter into non-disclosure agreements or continue discussions, Relativity made initial determinations not to pursue further discussions due to their unsuitability as targets for Relativity. The reasons for such determination encompassed but were not limited to ; (1) companies that failed to respond after additional inquiries and ceased communication with Relativity; (2) companies seeking to effect a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company that raised gross proceeds in far excess of Relativity’s initial public offering; and (3) companies that were still at the early stage of development.
Of the companies that Relativity entered into non-disclosure agreements with or received additional information about, Relativity reviewed the additional material and/or engaged in more extensive discussions

with management before it decided whether to focus on a potential target. Of these potential targets, Relativity decided to focus on two potential targets (including Instinct Brothers), each of which is described in more detail below. Of the potential targets that Relativity decided not to proceed with after signing a non-disclosure agreement, obtaining additional information, or engaging in further discussions with the targets, the decision was made due to various factors, including but not limited to: (i) the companies were early stage and not yet prepared for a public listing, (ii) there was a request for a high minimum cash in trust condition, which could jeopardize the likelihood of successfully completing a business combination, (iii) the companies eventually entered into agreements with another company, including another special purpose acquisition company or a private equity firm, or (vi) the companies themselves expressed their decision or inability to proceed with a transaction with Relativity.
SVES, LLC. (“SVES”):
On September 30, 2022, Tarek Tabsh, Chief Executive Officer of Relativity, Timothy J. Fullum, President, and a third-party advisor to SVES attended an introductory call to discuss SVES’ business, the SPAC process and the suitability of SVES for a potential transaction.
On October 4, 2022, Relativity and SVES executed the NDA. On October 25, 2022, the parties executed the LOI, which provided for an initial proposed total equity valuation of SVES of at least $612 million, with such consideration to be paid in shares of Pubco Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share. The LOI did not contain a minimum cash requirement at closing and provided for a 180 day lockup of SVES officers, directors, and key stakeholders.
On February 13, 2023, Relativity and SVES executed the Business Combination Agreement, which provided for an initial proposed total equity valuation of SVES of $612 million, with such consideration to be paid in shares of Pubco Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share. The agreement did not provide for a minimum cash requirement at closing and provided for a 180 day lockup of SVES officers, directors, and key stakeholders. Relativity would have until March 15, 2023, to conduct diligence. From February 13, 2023 to August 10, 2023, representatives from Relativity, SVES, and their respective advisors attended weekly meetings to discuss diligence, audits and the Registration Statement on S-4 to be filed in connection with the Business Combination.
On May 14, 2024 Relativity announced termination of the Business Combination Agreement with SVES upon mutual agreement of the parties. The parties agreed to terminat the agreement because, in May 2024, the SEC declared all audits performed by Ben Borgers, SVES’s auditors, to be invalid. Given the difficulties, costs, and time associated with obtaining new audits, the parties agreed that terminating the agreement was the best course of action for both parties.
Mazaii Corp. Ltd.
On July 11, 2024, Relativity entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Mazaii LOI”) with 4503309 Nova Scotia Ltd. (operating as Mazaii Corp. Ltd.) regarding a potential business combination transaction. The proposed transaction contemplated a merger in which the post-closing entity would adopt the Mazaii Corp. name, with an implied pre-money valuation of $500 million, subject to audit and the completion of the successful acquisition of three roll-up targets. The LOI granted a 45-day exclusivity period, which expired on September 12, 2024.
In connection with this process, Relativity received a promissory note from Mazaii on July 15, 2024, in the principal amount of $250,000.
Despite initial progress, the proposed transaction with Mazaii did not proceed beyond the LOI stage. Relativity was unable to gain sufficient visibility into the financial viability of the roll-up strategy that formed a central component of Mazaii’s business model. Additionally, Mazaii was ultimately unable to secure the capital required to execute the planned acquisitions. As a result, no definitive agreements were entered into, and the proposed transaction was formally abandoned.
Instinct Brothers:
Timeline of the Merger
In January 2023, a meeting of the board of directors of Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd. (“Instinct Brothers”) was convened, attended by Tomoki Nagano, Fumihiro Nagano, Yuji Naito, Qian Zhao, and Masashi Omatsu

(collectively, the “ISB Board”). The ISB Board deliberated on strategic options for the company, including potential access to public capital markets, and unanimously resolved to pursue the financial expansion of Instinct Brothers through a listing on Nasdaq.
On March 10, 2023, Instinct Brothers engaged Everise Concepts PLT (“Everise”), an independent business advisor, to identify and source a suitable SPAC company for a potential merger, and to provide general consultancy services in connection with a potential de-SPAC transaction involving Instinct Brothers. For clarity, Everise is not affiliated with either Relativity or Instinct Brothers. Everise subsequently introduced Chardan Capital Markets (“Chardan”) to Instinct Brothers. On December 12, 2023, Instinct Brothers and Chardan entered into a non-disclosure agreement.
On March 8, 2024, Instinct Brothers engaged Chardan, as its M&A and Capital Markets Advisor regarding potential business combination with a SPAC.
On October 16, 2024, Tarek Tabsh, CEO of Relativity, and Elliot Gnedy, an investment banker of Chardan discussed potential targets in life science industry. Mr. Gnedy requested additional information from Relativity to evaluate Relativity’s suitability for Instinct Brothers as a potential de-SPAC candidate. Chardan has never been engaged by Relativity.
On October 20, 2024, acting in capacity of M&A and Capital Markets Advisor, Chardan introduced Instinct Brothers, which is not affiliated with Relativity or any entities affiliated with Relativity, to Mr. Tabsh . To the best of Relativity’s knowledge, prior to the introduction, none of Relativity’s management or board members had any direct connection or relationship with Instinct Bothers’ management team.
On November 25, 2024, Chardan and Relativity held a video conference to discuss and evaluate Relativity’s viability and potential to compete for a business combination with Instinct Brothers. Invitees to the call included Mr. Tabsh, Yingjie Weng and Mr. Gnedy, investment bankers from Chardan.
On October 29, 2024, a teaser for Instinct Brothers was provided to Relativity management. Following this, Mr. Tabsh begins market and scientific research into target field of stem cell science and regenerative treatments.
On November 25, 2024, Mr. Tabsh and Tomoki Nagano, the CEO of Instinct Brothers entered into a non-disclosure agreement.
On November 25, 2024, an introductory call was held among representatives of Relativity, Instinct Brothers and Chardan to discuss potential partnership and competitive advantages of Relativity compared to competing vehicles, and strategic fit. Participants included Mr. Nagano; Masashi Ohmatsu, Chief Financial Officer of Instinct Brothers; and Say Leong Lim, advisor to Instinct Brothers, Mr. Tabsh, and representatives of Chardan.
On November 29, 2024, Instinct Brothers and Chardan granted Relativity access to a virtual data room containing preliminary corporate, financial, and operational information relating to Instinct Brothers, to facilitate Relativity’s due diligence review in connection with a potential business combination.
From November 29, 2024 to December 10, 2024, the management team of Relativity reviewed those materials shared by Instinct Brothers in the virtual data room. During this period, Relativity developed a general understanding of Instinct Brothers’ operations, business model, key metrics and investment highlights. Relativity requested further information to better understand Instinct Brother’s technology, intellectual property, commercial traction, revenue, business model, key partners, and vendors, among others.
On December 4, 2024, Relativity transmitted to Instinct Brothers an initial non-binding draft letter of intent (“LOI”). The draft reflected a preliminary placeholder valuation of $120 million, sponsor economics of 22%, and a $500,000 promissory note to support transaction expenses. Relativity viewed these figures as conservative starting points, subject to customary due diligence, financial analysis, and the receipt of a fairness opinion.
On December 12, 2024, representatives of Relativity, Instinct Brothers, and Chardan participated in a videoconference. Attendees included Mr. Nagano and Mr. Ohmatsu of Instinct Brothers; Mr. Tabsh of Relativity; Yingjie Weng and Elliot Gnedy of Chardan. Discussions included Relativity’s compliance status

and financial condition, the steps required to bring its SEC filings current, and the anticipated pathway to relisting on Nasdaq through a business combination. Relativity also confirmed that its former underwriter, AGP, had contractually forfeited previously accrued fees, thereby reducing transaction costs. In addition, the parties discussed Instinct Brothers’ management structure, business model, suppliers, company history, and the background of its management team, as well as potential partnership parameters for the LOI, including capital infusion requirements and the proposed promissory note. Relativity requested additional diligence materials in connection with these discussions to further evaluate Instinct Brothers’ operations and potential synergies in a business combination.
On December 15, 2024, Chardan, on behalf of Instinct Brothers, delivered a counter-LOI. The counterproposal reflected a reduced $350,000 promissory note and required the forfeiture of approximately 3,040,000 sponsor shares, representing about 85% of the sponsor’s economics. Instinct Brothers was advised that prevailing market conditions had led certain SPAC sponsors to forfeit substantial portions of their sponsor economics in comparable transactions, and Instinct Brothers sought to reflect this trend in its proposal.
On December 24, 2024, Relativity responded with a counterproposal. Relativity proposed a $400,000 promissory note and a 15% reduction in sponsor economics. Relativity explained that, as a nontraditional SPAC with experience in commercializing frontier science in regulated markets, it provided unique value to Instinct Brothers beyond typical SPAC structures. Relativity also emphasized that the forfeiture of legacy banking fees of approximately $5 million, which it had secured, represented a material transaction cost savings that should be taken into account in evaluating sponsor economics.
On December 30, 2024, Instinct Brothers counter-proposed that 1,500,000 shares be placed in escrow to cover expenses exceeding the agreed promissory note. Instinct Brothers’ objective was to further limit its net transaction costs in connection with becoming a public company.
On January 6, 2025, Relativity transmitted a revised proposal to Instinct Brothers that increased the placeholder valuation to $250 million, subject to due diligence and a fairness opinion. Relativity explained that the higher valuation reflected an expanded assessment of Instinct Brothers’ business and prospects, including:

Instinct Brothers’ diversified revenue streams and vertically integrated business model spanning OEM manufacturing, direct-to-clinic supply, and e-commerce channels;

Its portfolio of intellectual property, proprietary formulations, and trade secrets;

Anticipated growth opportunities in the anti-aging and stem cell markets, including scalability of its clinic franchise model with relatively low capital expenditure requirements;

Profitability metrics and disciplined operations within a highly regulated industry;

Strategic factors such as Instinct Brothers’ regional partnerships, the scalability of its distribution model through licensing, franchising, and OEM collaborations, and the potential to deploy its intellectual property across broader international markets;

Its base in Japan, a country with leadership in regenerative medicine and stem cell innovation; and

Broader macro tailwinds, including anticipated regulatory reforms and scientific research breakthroughs that could accelerate adoption of stem cell therapies globally.
These factors contributed to a view that Instinct Bio has the potential to achieve significant revenue growth over a multi-year horizon, with an attractive customer acquisition cost profile and lifetime value dynamics, particularly in the skincare and wellness sectors. Relativity further proposed escrowing 600,000 sponsor shares and 653,750 private placement shares to offset transaction costs. Both parties acknowledged that these qualitative and quantitative factors were preliminary inputs to valuation and that the final determination would remain subject to further diligence and an independent fairness opinion.
On January 8, 2025, Instinct Brothers provided a counterproposal of $180 million in valuation, subject to diligence and a fairness opinion, and requested that 1,200,000 shares be placed in escrow to cover Relativity’s expenses. Instinct Brothers explained that its proposal reflected a conservative approach pending independent confirmation of valuation ranges through the fairness opinion process.

On January 10, 2025, Relativity transmitted a revised counterproposal reflecting a $200 million placeholder valuation and the escrow of 1,000,000 shares to cover transaction expenses. Relativity and Instinct Brothers each viewed this revised structure as a reasonable middle ground between their prior positions and as establishing a “zone of agreement.”
On January 12, 2025, Instinct Brothers communicated its acceptance of these terms, with the understanding that the ultimate valuation would be supported by due diligence, financial review, and an independent fairness opinion. On January 14, 2025, Relativity circulated a revised draft LOI reflecting the agreed-upon terms.
On January 17, 2025, Morison, the independent auditor for Instinct Brothers provided Relativity with the audited financials of Instinct Brothers for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 and 2023.
On January 23, 2025, Relativity and Instinct Bio executed a non-binding letter of intent reflecting a placeholder valuation of $200 million. This valuation represented the outcome of prior negotiations. The major terms in the LOI included, among others, the following:

Consideration for transaction to be $200 million, to be paid in shares at $10.00 per share.

Relativity to escrow one million shares for transaction costs.

Instinct Brothers to loan $400,000 to Relativity
At this stage, neither party conducted formal due diligence or financial modeling, and no fairness opinion or third-party valuation had been obtained. The Relativity Board considered the placeholder valuation to be appropriate for purposes of entering into non-binding discussions, with the understanding that it remained subject to further analysis, due diligence, and negotiation of definitive agreement. At the time of the LOI, the parties did not engage in significant discussions relating to (i) a private placement transaction, or (ii) members of the Relativity team being retained following the business combination.
On January 24, 2025, Relativity and Instinct Brothers entered into a promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000, which was intended for transaction-related expenses in connection with the proposed business combination.

He also conducted phone calls with each board member to discuss the overall market trajectory, geography, business models, financial discipline, management, competition, growth strategies and potential. Mr. Tabsh reminded board members that approval is conditional upon successful completion of due diligence. The Relativity Board agreed that the potential of the technology and sector to see additional growth ahead from approvals and wider acceptance, the fact of that Instinct Brothers is already profitable and vertically integrated in a competitive market such as Japan, as well as inorganic growth potential, were all factors that could make Instinct Brothers an appealing target. Relativity’s Board agreed to proceed with the Instinct Brothers BCA after taking into

On February 24, 2025, at the request of the Relativity’s board of directors, ERShares rendered its fairness opinion to the effect that the Contribution Consideration to be issued by Relativity in the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of Relativity. ERShares conducted both a market transaction (MTA) analysis as well as an analysis of selected companies that share certain characteristics that are sufficiently similar to those of Instinct Brothers. The comparable companies were primarily selected based on the following criteria: (1) being principally engaged in similar business (i.e., stem cell cosmeceuticals); and (2) being listed on a recognized capital market for more than 12 months from the valuation date. The Board voted in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, subject to satisfactory completion of diligence. Relativity’s CEO reviewed the valuation firm’s experience in transactions and prior work completed in rendering fairness opinions, the general background of the ERShares team and their valuation experience. The CEO also presented the firm’s findings, summarized the work performed and answered the Relativity Board’s questions. Relativity’s Board reviewed the material terms of the business combination and related agreements with respect to the business combination with Instinct Brothers.

The virtual data room was further supplemented by requests and responses for additional information. Relativity and its advisors submitted several rounds of follow-up due diligence questions and requests, held a series of due diligence video conference calls, virtual meetings with Instinct Brothers’ team, including its CEO and CFO to discuss and receive responses from Instinct Brothers team in the form of verbal and written answer and supporting documentation uploaded to the virtual data room.

On a video conference on July 2, 2025, as part of continued business discussions pursuant to an oral commitment made at the time of the signing of the Business Combination Agreement to review the economic terms of the Business Combination Agreement as the deal progressed towards closing, Mr. Tabsh from Relativity, Mr. Nagano, Mr. Ohmatsu from Instinct Brothers, and Mr. Lim (consultant for Instinct Brothers) revisited the valuation framework in light of material developments in the regenerative medicine landscape. Specifically, since the time of the initial agreement, public support for stem cell research has gained momentum, including high-profile advocacy from such figures as Robert Kennedy Jr., who has publicly expressed interest in increasing access to research surrounding stem-cell based treatments. This broader societal and political shift was viewed as a favorable signal for the marketability and potential regulatory acceptance of the target’s technologies. A revised valuation framework reflected both the growing strategic value of the Target and evolving dynamics within the stem-cell therapeutics sector.
 
101

 
On July 6, 2025, Relativity sent an email to Instinct Brothers proposing an adjustment to the consideration structure in light of these developments in good faith based on its previous oral commitments. Relativity proposed increasing the consideration to $210 million and adjusting the Sponsor’s equity interest to 21.44%, below an initial negotiating postiton of 22% at the outset of discussions. Relativity indicated that these adjustments were intended to reflect the scientific, political, and cultural market momentum in the stem cell research and the anti-aging sector, which has gained increased prominence and support in the months following the execution of the initial LOI and Business Combination Agreement.
On July 31, 2025, Instinct Brothers responded by email with a counterproposal. The counterproposal proposed increasing the consideration to Instinct Brothers to $225 million, inclusive of allocations to Everise (consultant for Instinct Brothers), and an adjustment of the Sponsor’s equity interest to 20%, which was consistent with Instinct Brothers’ initial negotiating position at the outset of discussion (resulting in the issuance of 2,006,350 shares to the Sponsor at the closing of the Business Combination). Instinct Brothers explained that its revised proposal reflected both the strengthening market dynamics in the stem-cell therapeutics sector and the anticipated strategic synergies between the Target Company and Relativity. The parties also noted that, notwithstanding these adjustments, the revised terms remained within or below the valuation ranges reflected in the fairness opinion ranges provided to Relativity’s board.
On October 13, 2025, the Board considered the revised transaction structure in light of the previous oral commitment by management, and Relativity’s Board approved the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements, and recommended that its public stockholders approve the transaction.
Consideration of Alternative Transactions
After preliminary discussions in late 2024, Relativity and Instinct Brothers identified a transaction between them as mutually beneficial based on complementary strategic priorities.
From Relativity’s perspective, Instinct Brothers represented a differentiated opportunity in the healthcare and regenerative medicine sector, with a vertically integrated model spanning manufacturing, clinical services, and direct-to-consumer channels. Relativity’s management team had deep expertise in building healthcare-focused businesses in highly regulated frontier markets and viewed Instinct Brothers’ unique growth potential, expanding presence in Asia-Pacific, and disciplined business approaches, as a strong fit for its strategic goals.
Relativity considered other potential business combination targets in various sectors but determined that Instinct Brothers offered the most compelling combination of sector fit, growth potential, and transaction feasibility in the current market environment.
From Instinct Brothers’ perspective, management evaluated multiple potential avenues to access the public markets, including a traditional initial public offering (“IPO”). Management concluded that, while an IPO could be viable, the cost, execution risk, and extended timeline, particularly in light of the company’s cross-border operations and sector-specific regulatory complexities, would likely exceed those of a business combination with Relativity. The management of Instinct Brothers believes that the transaction with Relativity offers a more efficient path to public company status, leveraging Relativity’s seasoned management team to assist in the complexities of the process. The SPAC route also enabled Instinct Brothers to allocate more internal resources toward operational growth rather than the extended preparation process of a traditional IPO.
Instinct Brothers also considered private financing options, but management believed that a provide public currency for strategic acquisitions would be useful and that a private transaction would result in greater dilution to its current shareholders.
Agreement with Chardan
On March 8, 2024, Instinct Brothers entered into a letter agreement with Chardan pursuant to which Chardan agreed to act as Instinct Brothers’ M&A and capital markets advisor with respect to a business combination involving Instinct Brothers and a SPAC. Upon consummation of business combination, Chardan is entitled to M&A fee in equal to the greater of (a) $3,000,000 and (b) the sum of (i) 3.0% of the first $100,000,000 of Aggregate Value, (ii) 2.0% of the portion of Aggregate Value between $100,000,001 and
 
102

 
$200,000,000, and (iii) 1.0% of the portion of Aggregate Value in excess of $200,000,000 and Financing fees of 7.0% of aggregate sales price of equity and equity-linked securities purchased in the Business Combination or related transactions and 3.5% of aggregate sales price of non-equity-linked debt securities and credit facilities. In addition, Instinct Brothers has agreed to reimburse $200,000 to Chardan for out-of-pocket expenses, subject to presentation of appropriate documentation evidencing such out-of-pocket expenses. Chardan shall have a right (but not an obligation) of first refusal to act (a) as sole/lead left/lead book-running manager (with at least 30% of the economics paid to all advisors and/or underwriters) for any and all future financings undertaken until the eighteenth (18th) month anniversary of the date of the closing of the Business Combination and (b) as sole/lead left financial advisor with respect to any and all M&A transactions during such period.
Finder’s Fee to Everise Concepts PLT (“Everise”)
Everise is a limited liability partnership incorporated in Malaysia, engaged in the business of providing business advisory services as well as business sourcing and matching services. Its scope of services includes identifying special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) for target companies seeking listings, whether locally or abroad.
In connection with its corporate development efforts, Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd. (“Instinct Brothers”) approached Mr. Say Leong Lim to explore potential advisory support, including the identification of a suitable SPAC partner and assistance in structuring a potential de-SPAC transaction. Following this, Everise was formally engaged by Instinct Brothers on March 10, 2023. Under the terms of engagement, the parties agreed that, upon the successful closing of a business combination, Everise shall be entitled to a finder’s fee equivalent to 2% of the equity of the combined company, calculated based on the agreed de-SPAC valuation of the group.
The Relativity Board’s Recommendation and Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination
In evaluating the transaction with BIOT, the Relativity Board consulted with its legal counsel and accounting and other advisors and received a fairness opinion from EntrepreneurShares LLC, as described above. Since note of the directors of Relativity had a pre-existing relationship with BIOT, the Relativity Board did not believe it was necessary to engage an unaffiliated representative to act on behalf of the unaffiliated security holders. In determining that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are in Relativity’s best interests, the Relativity Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. Moreover, each of Relativity’s directors were asked to consider the potential conflicts of interest arising from their personal circumstances, existing fiduciary obligations, and other factors, if any. No director of Relativity disclosed any pre-existing relationship with BIOT.
In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Relativity Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that the Relativity Board considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Relativity Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by the Relativity Board. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. The Relativity Board realized that there can be no assurance about future results, including results considered as disclosed in the following reasons. This explanation of Relativity’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements.” When you consider the Relativity Board’s recommendation, you should be aware that Relativity’s directors may have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Relativity’s shareholders generally. See “— Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.” for additional information.
The key factors considered by the Board included the following:

Financial Fitness & Profitability as a Biotech
 
103

 

Unlike many biotech companies that operate with long research cycles and heavy burn rates, BIOT has a revenue-generating business model with existing cash flows.

The company’s low capital expenditure requirements and strong margins in regenerative therapies and skincare reduce risk for public market investors.

BIOT achieves profitability without reliance on speculative drug development pipelines, a major differentiator for SPAC investors evaluating biotech targets.

Long-Term Growth Potential in Regenerative Medicine

The global regenerative medicine market is experiencing significant expansion, driven by advancements in stem cell therapies and increasing demand for anti-aging solutions.

BIOT is positioned to capitalize on this growth by offering scientifically backed treatments and skincare solutions with proven efficacy.

Leadership in Stem Cell-Based Skincare & Japan’s Market Influence

The stem cell-based skincare segment is a fast-growing niche within beauty and cosmeceuticals, offering high-margin product lines.

Japan is recognized globally for skincare innovation and consumer trust, positioning BIOT to leverage brand credibility for domestic and international expansion.

Favorable Regulatory Environment in Japan for Regenerative Medicine

Japan has a progressive and well-defined regulatory framework that supports regenerative medicine, expediting approvals for treatments.

The streamlined process enhances BIOT’s ability to commercialize new therapies faster than competitors in other regions.

Proprietary Competitive Advantages & Innovation

Exclusive long-term supply agreements for stem cell-derived ingredients provide a significant moat against competition.

Proprietary cell culture techniques and partnerships in regenerative research allow BIOT to maintain a cutting-edge position in the industry.

International Expansion & Global Market Penetration

Japan’s reputation for medical and cosmetic excellence will allow BIOT to enter global markets through premium product positioning.

The company is actively exploring licensing agreements, direct-to-consumer sales, and clinical partnerships to expand internationally.

Attractive Valuation & Financial Strength

The transaction values BIOT at approximately $200 – $250 million, aligning with market comps for high-growth biotech firms.

Strong revenue visibility, existing sales channels, and clear profitability milestones make this an attractive investment relative to traditional biotech SPAC targets.

Capital-Efficient Business Model Supporting Faster Profitability

BIOT does not rely on lengthy and expensive drug trials — its treatments and skincare products generate revenue immediately.

Recurring revenue streams from skincare sales, clinical procedures, and licensing fees support predictable financial growth.

Attractive Unit Economics in Clinical Operations

BIOT’s clinic model reaches breakeven rapidly, ensuring high returns on investment.
 
104

 

Modular clinic designs allow for low-cost expansion, enabling rapid market penetration without heavy upfront capital expenditures.

High Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) & Recurring Revenue Model

Regenerative medicine patients require ongoing treatments, ensuring repeat visits and sustained revenue streams.

The combination of clinical treatments and stem-cell-based skincare products enhances patient retention and long-term value.

Early-Mover Advantage in Regenerative Medicine

As an early player in perinatal stem cell commercialization, BIOT establishes a leadership position before market saturation.

The company’s first-mover advantage allows it to secure exclusive partnerships and brand credibility before competitors catch up.

Favorable Demographics & Rising Demand for Anti-Aging Solutions

Aging global populations are driving massive demand for regenerative and anti-aging therapies.

BIOT is well-positioned to meet this demand with scientifically validated treatments tailored to longevity-focused consumers.

Ownership of Manufacturing & Vertical Integration

By controlling manufacturing, BIOT ensures cost efficiency, supply chain reliability, and product quality.

Ownership of proprietary manufacturing facilities enhances profitability and protects against external supply disruptions.

Strategic Acquisition & Partnership Potential

The company is an attractive acquisition target for pharmaceutical and beauty conglomerates seeking a foothold in regenerative medicine.

Exclusive partnerships in manufacturing and licensing create additional revenue streams beyond direct-to-consumer sales.

Strong ESG & Societal Appeal

Investors are increasingly focused on ESG-friendly investments, and regenerative medicine aligns with health-focused impact investing.

BIOT’s ethical sourcing and sustainability initiatives in stem cell research position it as a leader in responsible innovation.

Public Financing Accelerates Growth

Unlike many biotech companies that require heavy R&D funding before they generate revenues, BIOT is revenue-generating, reducing dilution risk for public investors.

Access to public capital will be used strategically for geographic expansion and product development, rather than funding basic research.

Expansion Through Strategic Acquisitions

As a public company, BIOT gains access to capital markets for M&A activity in regenerative medicine and biotech.

The company can acquire complementary businesses in a fragmented market to expand its product offerings and market share.

Rapid Deployment of Regenerative Technologies

The company’s agile business model allows for rapid integration of new stem cell-based treatments as they emerge.
 
105

 

Unlike larger pharmaceutical companies with bureaucratic R&D processes, BIOT adapts quickly to market needs.

Enhanced Margin Control Through Vertical Integration

Owning both R&D and manufacturing helps BIOT maintain high margins while controlling costs.

Direct-to-consumer sales, clinical revenues, and licensing fees enhance profitability while reducing reliance on a single revenue stream.
The Relativity Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including but not limited to the following:

Business risk.   The risk that the future financial performance of BIOT may not be consistent with illustrative market sizing analyses provided by BIOT due to factors in BIOT’s control or out of BIOT’s control, such as market acceptance of its products, BIOT’s failure to attract and retain customers, to adapt to new businesses environment, to comply with relevant government regulations, to obtain sufficient capital, among others, and the risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

Corporate governance risks and costs.   The fact that BIOT has been operating as a private company, which does not explicitly require the level of comprehensive corporate governance investors expect to see in a Nasdaq-listed business, and the costs, time and effort that BIOT may incur to strengthen its infrastructure and governance framework.

Closing of the Business Combination may not occur.   The risks and costs to Relativity if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources to other business combination opportunities, which could result in Relativity being unable to affect a business combination within the timeframe set forth under Relativity’s current charter, forcing Relativity to liquidate the trust account.

Current public shareholders exercising redemption rights.   The risk that some of Relativity’s current public shareholders would decide to exercise their redemption rights, thereby depleting the amount of cash available in the trust account.

Closing conditions of the Business Combination.   The fact that the Closing is conditioned on satisfying certain closing conditions, many of which are not within Relativity’s control.

Relativity shareholders not holding a majority position in the Combined Company.   The fact that Relativity shareholders will not hold a majority position in the Combined Company following the Business Combination, which may reduce the influence that Relativity’s current shareholders have on the Combined Company’s management.

Litigation related to the Business Combination.   The risk of potential litigation challenging the Business Combination, which could enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

Transaction fees and expenses incurred by Relativity.   The substantial transaction fees and expenses to be incurred in connection with the Business Combination and the negative impact of such expenses on Relativity’s cash reserves and operating results if the Business Combination is not completed.

Negative impact resulting from the announcement of the Business Combination.   The possible negative effect of the Business Combination and public announcement of the Business Combination of Relativity’s financial performance, operating results, and share price.

Other risks.   Other factors that the Relativity Board deemed relevant, including various other risks associated with the Business Combination, Relativity’s business, and BIOT’s business as described under “Risk Factors.”
Conclusion
The Board evaluated potential risks, uncertainties, and market factors before determining that the strategic benefits of the BIOT’s business combination far outweigh any associated risks.
 
106

 
This transaction provides an unprecedented opportunity to merge high-growth regenerative medicine with financial fitness and proven profitability — a rare combination in biotech deals.
Accordingly, the Board unanimously approved the Business Combination and recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the transaction.
Opinion of EntrepreneurShares LLC
Relativity retained ER Shares to render an opinion to the Relativity Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view to Relativity and to the shareholders of Relativity (other than the Sponsor or any of its affiliates) of the Total Consideration (as defined below) to be issued or paid to such shareholders in the Business Combination. For the purposes of this section, “Transaction Consideration” means the Company Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued in exchange for the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants at the Merger Effective Time.
Relativity selected ER Shares to provide a fairness opinion based on ER Shares’ qualifications, experience and reputation. Relativity considered a number of factors in selecting ERShares, including its professional qualifications, relevant valuation experience, industry reputation, fee structure, and ability to deliver the report within the required timeframe. In particular, Relativity considered ERShares’ distinctive academic and professional credentials, including the presence of senior professionals who serve as tenured faculty members at a top-ranked entrepreneurship program. Relativity further took into account ERShares’ reputation as a leading asset manager within the global entrepreneurial and venture capital community, as well as its frequent appearances as a valuation expert on major financial media outlets such as CNBC, Fox Business, and Bloomberg. Relativity also noted that ERShares is engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities, and in the preparation of fairness opinions for other business combination transactions. This ongoing and specialized experience was a material consideration in its selection to render the fairness opinion in this matter.
ER Shares delivered its oral opinion to the Relativity Board, subsequently confirmed in writing on February 24, 2025 (the “Opinion”), which sets forth, among other things, the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the scope of review undertaken in rendering the Opinion, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and is hereby incorporated by reference. The Opinion confirmed that, as of February 24, 2025, the Transaction Consideration to be issued or paid to the shareholders of Instinct Brothers is fair from a financial point of view to Relativity and the shareholders of Relativity, other than the Sponsor and any of its affiliates. The Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the relevant directors and officers of Relativity or to any other persons in respect of the Business Combination, including as to how any holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares should vote or act in respect of the Business Combination.
In connection with its analyses in rendering the Opinion, ER Shares, among other things:

Reviewed the financial terms and conditions of the proposed Business Combination set forth in the draft Business Combination Agreement;

Reviewed certain operating and financial information, that were provided to ER Shares by management of the Company;

Reviewed certain guideline public companies and precedent transactions which ER Shares viewed as having attributes similar to the Company;

Reviewed other publicly available industry information (i.e., various equity analyst reports, macroeconomic reports, and public information about guideline companies), available from databases such as S&P Capital IQ (“CapIQ”); and

Engaged in confirmatory discussions with Relativity regarding the Company’s business and key assumptions and risks associated with the Company’s business plans.
For purposes of its analysis and the Opinion, ER Shares assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other publicly available information, and all of the information supplied or otherwise made available to, discussed with or reviewed by ER Shares, without any independent verification
 
107

 
of such information (and assumed no responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information) and further relied upon the assurances of Relativity management that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information provided to ER Shares inaccurate or misleading.
For purposes of its analysis and the Opinion, ER Shares assumed, in all respects material to its analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Business Combination Agreement were true and correct, that each party would perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under the Business Combination Agreement and that all conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination would be satisfied without waiver or modification thereof. ER Shares further assumed, in all respects material to its analysis, that all governmental, regulatory, or other consents, approvals or releases necessary for the consummation of the Business Combination would be obtained without any delay, limitation, restriction or condition that would have an adverse effect on the consummation of the Business Combination or reduce the contemplated benefits to the holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares.
ER Shares did not, in connection with the Opinion, conduct any physical inspection of properties or facilities associated with the Company. The Opinion is necessarily based upon information made available to ER Shares as of February 24, 2025, and financial, economic, market, and other conditions as they existed and as could be evaluated as of that date and does not reflect any subsequent developments. ER Shares does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm the Opinion.
ER Shares was not asked to opine on, and the Opinion does not express any views on, (i) any other terms of the Business Combination (except as expressly addressed herein), (ii) Relativity’s underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Business Combination, (iii) the merits of the Business Combination relative to any alternative transaction or business strategy that may be available to Relativity, (iv) the amount or nature of the compensation to any officer, director or employee, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received by the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Relativity or the Company in the Business Combination, or relative to or in comparison with the Total Consideration paid to shareholders of Relativity, (v) the fairness of the Business Combination to any particular group or class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of Relativity, other than those set forth in the Opinion or (vi) the solvency, creditworthiness or fair value of the Company or any other participant in the Business Combination under any applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.
Set forth below is a summary of the material financial analyses carried out by ER Shares, in connection with ER Shares rendering the Opinion. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by ER Shares. The order of the analyses described, and the results of these analyses do not represent relative importance or weight given to these analyses by ER Shares. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data that existed on or before February 24, 2025, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.
Summary of ER Shares’ Financial Analysis of Company
Market Method
The primary method ER Shares used as the basis for the fairness opinion assessment was a Market Method, which relied on a combination of (a) a Guideline Publicly Traded Companies Analysis (“GPC Analysis”), and (b) a Guideline Transaction Analysis (“GTM Analysis”).
ER did not employ any additional methods of financial analysis in preparing its fairness opinion assessment beyond the Guideline Publicly Traded Companies Analysis and the Guideline Transaction Analysis (together, the “Market Method”), as disclosed.
While ERShares reviewed certain operating and financial information provided by the Company’s management, it determined that a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) analysis would not be appropriate in this instance. Given the Company’s early stage of development and its positioning within the healthcare sector, ERShares concluded that the preparation of a DCF would have necessitated a degree of reliance on
 
108

 
long-term financial projections that were inherently speculative and not sufficiently reliable for valuation purposes. In ERShares’ judgment, reliance on such projections would not yield a prudent or supportable indication of fair market value.
The operational and financial information reviewed by ERShares was used primarily to assess the Company’s stage of growth, business model, and financial profile, and to inform the selection of peer companies and precedent transactions for purposes of the Guideline Public Company and Guideline Transaction analyses. These market-based approaches were deemed more appropriate and reliable under the circumstances, and were accordingly utilized as the basis for the fairness opinion assessment.
Guideline Publicly Traded Companies Analysis
The GPC Analysis is a market indicator used to value a business. ER Shares reviewed and analyzed publicly available data on CapIQ about companies that were considered to have attributes similar to the Company. There are no guideline public companies that are directly comparable to Company’s future prospective business. ER Shares selected a group of 32 guideline public companies that it considered to have attributes similar to the Company (“GPC Guideline Companies,” collectively, the “Guideline Companies Group”) to use for purposes of the GPC Analysis.
ER Shares utilized the platform and analytical tools of CapIQ’s public company database (the “database,” unless otherwise indicated, as accessed as of February 24, 2024 (the “Access Date”)), to assist with the identification of GPC Guideline Companies and to obtain certain publicly available information about those companies. Of the total number of companies with securities listed on a U.S. or non-U.S. national securities exchange (“Public Companies”) included in the database, ER Shares selected the 32 GPC Guideline Companies.
The GPC Guideline Companies are as follows:

Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc.

Belite Bio, Inc

Structure Therapeutics Inc.

GH Research PLC

Rapport Therapeutics, Inc.

MBX Biosciences, Inc.

Terns Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Atai Life Sciences N.V.

Neumora Therapeutics, Inc.

Alumis Inc.

Pliant Therapeutics, Inc.

Third Harmonic Bio, Inc.

Ventyx Biosciences, Inc.

Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Cardiol Therapeutics Inc.

Reviva Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc.

Alto Neuroscience, Inc.

Context Therapeutics Inc.

Ikena Oncology, Inc.

Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Iterum Therapeutics plc

Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc.

AN2 Therapeutics, Inc.

NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc.

MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Hoth Therapeutics, Inc.

Clearmind Medicine Inc.

NLS Pharmaceutics AG

Avenue Therapeutics, Inc.

Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Worldwide Presence: Of the total number of companies included in the database, ER Shares selected a group of 71,839 Public Companies with securities listed on various national exchanges globally in order to incorporate in the GPC Guideline Companies with operations and foci outside as well as inside of Indonesia (the “Worldwide Presence Category”).
 
109

 

All Healthcare: Within the companies in the Worldwide Presence Category, ER Shares narrowed its search to approximately 5,150 Public Companies that fall within the Global Industry Classification Standards classifications developed by S&P, Dow Jones Indices and MSCI, as of the Access Date (“GICS”) general “Healthcare” classification (the “Healthcare Category”).

Specific Healthcare Category: ER Shares’ search was further narrowed to approximately 1,368 companies within the Healthcare Category, which ER Shares considered to have attributes or potential similarities to the Company. EntrepreneurShares LLC (“ERShares”) narrowed its selection of comparable companies from the broader healthcare sector to a more focused universe of 1,368 companies by applying specific industry classification filters. In particular, ERShares restricted its analysis to companies whose primary industry classifications fell into one or more of the following categories:

Pharmaceutical Products (Primary)

Non-Prescription Drugs (Primary)

Medicinal Chemicals and Botanical Products (Primary)

Pharmaceutical Research and Development (Primary)
These classifications were selected because they most closely align with the operational and strategic focus of Instinct Brothers Holdings Pte. Ltd., which is engaged in regenerative medicine, stem cell-based therapeutics, and biotechnology-driven health and wellness applications. ERShares determined that companies within these subsectors exhibited business models, product development pathways, and regulatory considerations that were sufficiently comparable to those of the Company to support a meaningful application of the Guideline Public Company Method. ER did not exclude any companies or transactions that met the established selection criteria from either the Guideline Publicly Traded Companies Analysis or the Guideline Transaction Analysis. All companies and transactions identified through the defined screening parameters, including applicable industry classifications and other quantitative and qualitative filters, were included in the respective analyses without discretionary exclusion.

US Exchanges: Among the companies within the Specific Healthcare Companies, ER Shares focused on 188 companies that were listed on US exchanges, which ER Shares considered relevant to the Company given its intent to list on a US Exchange.

Founded after 2014: Among the companies within the Specific Healthcare Category, listed on US Exchanges, ER Shares chose the 46 companies that were founded after 2014, which ER Shares considered most relevant to the Company given its current age.

Revenue less than $5M: Among the companies within the Specific Healthcare Category, listed on US exchanges and founded after 2014, ER Shares chose the 32 companies that had revenues less than $5M, which ER Shares considered most relevant to the Company given its current operations.
For each of the Comparable Companies identified above, a valuation range of $85 Million to $306 Million was determined for Instinct Brother’s consolidated potential future business, based on the Mean and Median Market Capitalization of the 32 companies identified above. The Market Capitalization of the 32 Companies derived, were reflected in the most recent public filings made by the Comparable Companies and data made available by CapitalIQ as of the date of valuation.
Based on the derived valuation range of approximately $85 Million to $306 Million, the transaction based on a pre-money total enterprise value of $200 Million fell within the derived valuation range and was deemed to be fair from a financial point of view under this methodology.
The valuation range of $85 million to $306 million cited in connection with the Guideline Publicly Traded Companies Analysis was derived by taking the mean and median market capitalizations of the 32 identified comparable public companies. No adjustments, discount rates, or weighting mechanisms were applied in this analysis. The resulting valuation range reflects the unadjusted statistical outputs from the selected peer group. The references to the mean and median values in the GTM Analysis was not intended to imply, and should not be interpreted as, statistical endpoints of the observed range. Rather, they were used as reference markers to help frame an illustrative valuation range given the dispersion of market
 
110

 
capitalizations among the selected peers. The median was cited at the low end because it is less influenced by outliers and provides a conservative anchor point. The mean was cited at the high end because it reflects the impact of larger capitalization peers, which ERShares believes is relevant given BIOT’s anticipated growth profile. Both are measures of central tendency and are not meant to define definitive valuation bounds, but to serve as practical anchor points within the broader distribution of observed values. BIOT’s pre-money enterprise value exceeded the median, which ERShares believe was appropriate in view of BIOT’s growth prospects, the general benefits associated with becoming a public company, and corroborating indications of value from the other valuation approach.
Similarly, the valuation range of $340 million to $539 million referenced in the Guideline Transaction Analysis was based on the mean and median enterprise values observed across the selected precedent transactions. As with the public company analysis, this approach involved no further adjustments or modeling.
The specific mean and median values, as well as the underlying data used to support both valuation ranges, are provided in the attached tables for reference.

Guideline Transaction Analysis
The GTM Analysis is a market method examining comparable transactions based on ER Shares’ review and analysis of publicly available data (sourced through the subscription database Pitchbook) about initial public offerings and reverse mergers. Within these guidelines, the following factors were considered in determining the appropriateness of transactions for inclusion in the GTM Analysis carried out by ER Shares: (i) sector, (ii) business status (iii) deal type (iv) deal status (v) deal date and (vi) exchange. Utilizing the criteria set forth above, ER Shares identified 39 guideline transactions (the “GTM Guideline Transactions” and collectively, the “Guideline Transactions Group”) that ER Shares considered relevant for comparative purposes, though, as described below, none of the selected transactions has characteristics identical to the proposed Business Combination or involves businesses that are identical to the Company. The categories of transactions used by ER Shares as criteria for inclusion in the Guideline Transactions Group can be summarized as follows, based on information accessed by ER Shares through Pitchbook on February 24, 2025:

Healthcare Sector: ER Shares focused on transactions involving companies falling in the Pitchbook Industries and Verticals Healthcare Sector, specifically in the Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology, Healthcare Technology Systems and Pharmaceutical Services industry group, which it considered most likely to encompass companies that have similarities to the Company in terms of operation characteristics and trajectories.

Revenues under $5M: Among transactions falling into the Healthcare category, ER Shares selected transactions involving privately owned companies generating revenues under $5M. ER Shares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the business lines of the Company.

IPO Transactions: Among transactions falling into the Healthcare category, ER Shares alternatively selected transactions resulting in a previously privately owned company becoming a public company through an initial public offering (generally involving a first time offering of shares of a company stock to the public). ER Shares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the business lines of the Company.

Reverse Merger: Among transactions falling into the Healthcare category, ER Shares selected transactions resulting in a previously privately owned company being merged into a public shell through a reverse merger. ER Shares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the business lines of the Company.

US Exchanges: Among transactions falling into the Healthcare category, ER Shares selected transactions that resulted in a formerly privately owned company being listed on a US exchange through an IPO or Reverse Merger. ER Shares considered these types of transactions to be similar

to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the intended exchange listing of the Company.

Founded after 2014: Among transactions falling into the Healthcare category, ER Shares selected transactions involving formerly privately owned companies founded after 2014. ER Shares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities these companies had to the age of the Company.

Completed Transactions after 2019: Among transactions falling into the Healthcare category, ER Shares selected transactions completed after 2019 involving formerly privately owned companies. ER Shares considered these types of transactions to be similar to the proposed Business Combination, given the similarities in the market conditions in which these transactions were completed.
For each of the Comparable transactions identified above, a valuation range of $340 Million to $539 Million was determined for Instinct Brother’s consolidated potential future business, based on the Mean and Median Market pre-money enterprise valuation of the 39 companies identified above. The pre-money enterprise valuation of the 39 Companies derived, were reflected in public filings made by the companies involved in the GTM Guideline Transactions and data made available by Pitchbook as of the date of valuation.
Based on the derived valuation range of approximately $340 Million to $539 Million, the transaction based on a pre-money total enterprise value of $200 Million fell below the derived valuation range and was deemed to be fair from a financial point of view under this methodology.
Miscellaneous
The foregoing summary of certain financial analyses does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses or data presented by ER Shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Opinion, which is as attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. In connection with the evaluation of the Transaction Consideration, ER Shares performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for the purpose of rendering the Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary descriptions. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary described above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the Opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, ER Shares considered the results of all the analyses and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any one analysis or factor considered by it for purposes of the Opinion. Rather, ER Shares made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all the analyses. In addition, ER Shares may have given certain analyses and factors more or less weight than others and may have deemed certain assumptions more or less probable than others. As a result, the range of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or combination of analyses described above should not be taken to be the view of ER Shares with respect to the actual value of the potential future value of Company. Further, ER Shares’ analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies used, including judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Relativity, the Company or their respective officers, managers and advisors.
Relativity retained ER Shares to render an opinion to the Relativity Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view to Relativity and to the shareholders of Relativity (other than the Sponsor or any of its affiliates) of the Transaction Consideration to be issued or paid to such shareholders in the Business Combination. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to necessarily reflect the prices at which the business or securities actually may be sold. The results, information and estimates contained in these analyses are not intended to be, and should not be interpreted or construed as, indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates. Furthermore, ER Shares’ analysis is dependent entirely on information, that was provided to ER Shares by the Company, without independent verification by ER Shares. Illustrative information, business plans, prospects and other information that was used in, and the results derived from, ER Shares’ analyses are inherently subject
 
115

 
to substantial uncertainty, and ER Shares assumes no responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted in such estimates.
As compensation for ER Shares’ service in connection with the rendering the Opinion to the Relativity Board, Relativity agreed to pay ER Shares a fee of $35,000. $15,000 of the fee was paid upon commencement of the engagement and $20,000 of the fee is payable upon closing of the business combination or February 02, 2026, whichever is earlier.
Disclosure of Prior Relationships
During the two years preceding the date of the opinion, ErShares has not had any material relationship with any party to the Business Combination for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated.
Stock Exchange Listing
We expect to list the Pubco Ordinary Shares and the Pubco Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “BIOT” and “BIOTW,” respectively.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
For a discussion summarizing the U.S. federal income tax considerations of any exercise of Redemption Rights, please see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
Expected Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination between Relativity and BIOT will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, Relativity 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 BIOT issuing shares for the net assets of Relativity, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Relativity will be recognized at historical cost (which is expected to be consistent with carrying value), with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. This determination is primarily based on BIOT stockholders comprising a relative majority of the voting power of Pubco and having the ability to nominate a majority of the members of the Pubco Board. BIOT’ operations and BIOT’ senior management comprise the senior management of Pubco. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of Pubco will represent a continuation of the financial statements of BIOT, with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of BIOT issuing stock for the net assets of Relativity, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Relativity will be stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Operations before the Business Combination will be presented as those of BIOT in future reports of Pubco.
Regulatory Matters
The Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement are not subject to any additional regulatory requirement or approval, except for (i) filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Cayman Islands necessary to effect the Business Combination, and (ii) filings required with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements applicable to Relativity, and the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including the requirement to file the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and to disseminate this proxy statement/prospectus to Relativity’s stockholders. Neither Relativity nor BIOT are aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than as described above. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.
Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Relativity Common Stock that are voted at the Stockholder Special Meeting,
 
116

 
voting together as a single class. As of the date hereof, the Initial Stockholders own approximately 96.5% of the issued and outstanding Relativity Common Stock and have not purchased any Public Shares but may do so at any time. As a result, the Initial Stockholders own sufficient shares to approve the Business Combination Proposal.
Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online at the Stockholder Special Meeting and abstentions from voting will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal.
The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the Business Combination Proposal will not be effected.
Recommendation of the Relativity Board of Directors
THE RELATIVITY BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE REDEMPTION LIMITATION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
Overview
Relativity is proposing to amend the Current Charter in the form set forth in Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus to eliminate the requirement that Relativity, or any entity that succeeds Relativity as a public company, retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the redemption of Public Shares (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) under the Exchange Act) in connection with the Business Combination and to authorize Relativity to redeem Public Shares in amounts that would cause Relativity’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.
Reasons for the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal
Relativity stockholders are being asked to adopt the proposed amendments to the Current Charter. The Current Charter limits Relativity’s ability to consummate a business combination, or to redeem Public Shares in connection with a business combination, if it would cause Relativity, or any entity that succeeds Relativity as a public company, to have less than $5,000,001 in net tangible assets upon consummation of such initial business combination. The purpose of such limitation is to ensure that the Public Shares are not deemed to be a “penny stock” pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act. Because the Public Shares would not be deemed to be a “penny stock” pursuant to other applicable provisions of Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, Relativity is presenting the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal to facilitate the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved and there are significant requests for redemption (including as a result of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal) such that Pubco’s net tangible assets would be less than $5,000,001 upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Relativity would be unable to consummate the Business Combination even if all contractual conditions to closing of the Business Combination (other than the condition with respect to Pubco’s net tangible assets) are met.
Certain Effects of the Approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal
If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved, it will not be a condition to the Closing that Pubco have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets.
Vote Required
The approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of Relativity Common Stock, voting together as a single class. As of the date hereof, the Initial Stockholders own approximately 96.5% of the issued and outstanding Relativity Common Stock and have not purchased any Public Shares but may do so at any time. As a result, the Initial Stockholders own sufficient shares to approve the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.
Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online at the Stockholder Special Meeting and abstentions from voting will have no effect on the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.
However, even if this Proposal is approved, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the transactions contemplated by this Proposal will not be affected.
The consummation of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Stockholder Special Meeting. Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.
Recommendation of the Relativity Board
THE RELATIVITY BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE REDEMPTION LIMITATION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.
 
118

 
PROPOSAL NO. 3 — THE STOCKHOLDER ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
Overview
The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow the Relativity Board to adjourn the Stockholder Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if desired or necessary, at the determination of the Relativity Board. In no event will the Relativity Board adjourn the Stockholder Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the Current Charter and Delaware law.
Consequences if the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved
If the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal is not approved by Relativity’s stockholders, the Relativity Board may not be able to adjourn the Stockholder Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal or any other Proposal, and Relativity may be unable to consummate the Business Combination. If Relativity does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), it will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the Public Stockholders.
Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Relativity Common Stock that are voted at the Stockholder Special Meeting, voting together as a single class. As of the date hereof, the Initial Stockholders own approximately 96.5% of the issued and outstanding Relativity Common Stock and have not purchased any Public Shares but may do so at any time. As a result, the Initial Stockholders own sufficient shares to approve the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.
Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online at the Stockholder Special Meeting and abstention from voting will have no effect on the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.
The consummation of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the approval of the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal at the Stockholder Special Meeting and the approval of the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Introduction
On February 28, 2025, Relativity Acquisition Corp. (“Relativity” or the “Company”) and Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd (“Instinct Brothers”) entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) that will result in Instinct Brothers becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Relatively upon the closing of the transaction contemplated therein (the “Proposed Transaction”) in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement. The Proposed Transaction is expected to close in Q3 2025, subject to approval by Relativity’s stockholders and other customary closing conditions outlined in the Merger Agreement.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Relativity will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Instinct Brothers, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of Relativity. Upon closing the Proposed Transaction, the combined company will become a publicly traded entity and operate under the name Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. (the “Combined Company”). The Combined Company will have an implied pro-form enterprise value of approximately $242 million upon closing the Proposed Transaction. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined Financial Statement of Relativity and Instinct Brothers have been prepared to give effect to the Proposed Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 gives pro forma effect to the Proposed Transaction as if they had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Proposed Transaction as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as of December 31, 2024, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are presented for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
This information should be read together with Relativity’s and Instinct Brother’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and November 30, 2024, respectively and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Relativity’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Instinct Brother’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been prepared using the following:

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

Instinct Brother’s audited historical balance sheet as of November 30, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 has been prepared using the following

Relativity’s audited historical consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

Instinct Brother’s audited historical statement of operation for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Due to the unavailability of Instinct Brothers’ interim financial information for the one-month period ended December 31, 2024, no pro forma adjustments have been made to align the fiscal periods. Management believes that the effect of excluding this adjustment is not material to the pro forma financial information presented herein.
In addition, an unaudited pro forma condensed combined Financial Statement of Relativity and Instinct Brothers have been prepared to give effect to the Proposed Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 gives pro forma effect to the Proposed Transaction as if they had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six-month ended June 30, 2025 give pro forma effect to the Proposed Transaction as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as of June 30, 2025, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are presented for the six-month ended June 30, 2025.
This information should be read together with Relativity’s and Instinct Brother’s audited financial statements as of and for the six-month ended June 30, 2025 and May 30, 2025, respectively and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Relativity’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Instinct Brother’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Instinct Brother’s unaudited condensed statement of operation for the six-month ended May 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Due to the unavailability of Instinct Brothers’ interim financial information for the one-month period ended June 30, 2025, no pro forma adjustments have been made to align the fiscal periods. Management believes that the effect of excluding this adjustment is not material to the pro forma financial information presented herein.
Accounting for the Transactions
Accordingly, the Merger will be accounted for as a capital reorganization in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Under this method of accounting, Relativity will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on BIOT stockholders comprising a relative majority of the voting power of Pubco and having the ability to nominate a majority of the members of the Pubco Board. BIOT’s operation comprising the ongoing operations of the Pubco, and BIOT’s senior management comprising the senior management of Pubco. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger will be treated as the equivalent of BIOT issuing stock for the net assets of Relativity, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Relativity will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of BIOT in future reports. The net assets of Relativity will be recognized at carrying value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Combined Company’s actual combined results of operations would have been had the merger occurred on the date assumed, nor are they indicative of the Combined Company’s future combined results of operations. The actual results reported in periods following the merger may differ significantly from those reflected in this Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare this Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements and
 
121

 
actual amounts, cost savings or associated costs to achieve such savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, debt refinancing, or other restructuring that may result from the acquisition.
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 financial information has been prepared assuming three different scenarios based on different numbers of Relativity Class A Ordinary Shares for which redemption rights have been exercised by Relativity Public shareholders:

Scenario 1 — Assuming No Redemptions: this scenario assumes no Relativity Public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, and all Relativity Class A Ordinary Shares previously subject to redemption for cash would be transferred to New Relativity Ordinary Shares.

Scenario 2 — Assuming 50% Redemption: this scenario assumes Relativity Public shareholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to 31,244 Relativity Class A Ordinary Shares, or 50% of the outstanding redeemable Relativity Class A Ordinary Shares, for which approximately $346,227 is paid out in cash to such redeeming Relativity shareholders, and the remaining 31,244 Relativity Class A Ordinary Shares previously subject to redemption for cash would be transferred to New Relativity Ordinary Shares.

Scenario 3 — Assuming 100% Redemption: this scenario assumes Relativity Public shareholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to all 62,488 redeemable Relativity Class A Ordinary Shares, for which approximately $692,453 is paid out in cash to such redeeming Relativity Public shareholders.
The following table provides a pro forma summary of the New Relativity Ordinary Shares that would be outstanding under each of the redemption scenarios if the Business Combination had occurred on January 1, 2024.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with IFRS, whereby Relativity will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purpose. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is expected to be treated as the equivalent of BIOT issuing shares for the net assets of Relativity, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Relativity will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 gives pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated on December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the related notes have been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

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

Instinct Brothers’ audited historical balance sheet as of November 30, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes have been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

Relativity’s audited historical consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

Instinct Brothers’ audited historical statement of operation for the fiscal year ended November 30, 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 unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the Business Combination are based on currently available information and assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in these accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its 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 the current 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 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 Combined Company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Relativity and Instinct Brothers.

2.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of Relativity’s and Instinct Brothers’ 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 Combined 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.
The deemed costs of the shares issued by PubCo, which represents the fair value of the shares that BIOT would have had to issue for the ratio of ownership interest in PubCo to be the same as if the Business Combination had taken the legal form of BIOT acquiring shares of Relativity, in excess of the net assets of Relativity will be accounted for as stock-based compensation under IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment.
U.S. GAAP to IFRS Conversion
The historical financial information of Relativity has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS as issued by the IASB for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. One adjustment required to convert Relativity’s consolidated balance sheet from U.S. GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was to reclassify Relativity’s Private and Public Warrants and Common stock subject to redemption to non-current financial liabilities under IAS 32, as shareholders have the right to require Relativity to redeem Relativity Public Shares and Warrants and Relativity has an irrevocable obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument for such redemption.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the advisory agreement with Chardan Capital Markets LLC, the Group has agreed to pay success-based fees, including an M&A fee equal to the greater of USD 3,000,000 or a percentage of the transaction value (3% of the first USD 100 million, 2% of the next USD 100 million, and 1% of any excess), and a Financing fee of 7% of equity or equity-linked securities proceeds and 3.5% of debt proceeds, each payable at closing. Based on the currently anticipated transaction value, management estimates that advisory fees payable would be approximately USD 5,250,000; however, the actual amount may differ depending on the final transaction value.
As of the report date, no liability has been recognized for these amounts because the obligations are contingent on the consummation of a transaction or financing.
The Group is also obligated to reimburse the advisor for actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal and diligence costs, which are recognized as incurred.

NET INCOME PER SHARE
Represents the net income per share calculated using the historical weighted average Relativity’s Ordinary Shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional Combined Company’s Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the Combined Company’s Ordinary Shares were outstanding since January 1, 2024. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average Combined Company’s Ordinary Shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per Combined Company’s Ordinary Shares assumes that the Combined Company’s Ordinary Shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. When assuming maximum redemption, this calculation is adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming three alternative levels of redemption. The following table sets out the share ownership of PubCo following Closing on a pro forma basis under the No Redemption Scenario, 50% Redemption Scenario and the 100% Redemption Scenario:

with the de-SPAC transaction, the PubCo will issue 22,500,000 shares to the Sellers and Everise Concepts PLT, for a total of 22,562,488 outstanding shares. Redemption levels of zero, 50% and Maximum Contractual Redemption have been disclosure in the table below as required by Item 1604(c).
In addition to the material and probable transactions or sources of dilution discussed above, we note that there may be additional potential sources of dilution. The extent of any such dilution to non-redeeming public shareholders in connection with the closing of our initial business combination is uncertain and will depend on a number of factors, including the occurrence, timing and magnitude of any such issuances. These potential sources of dilution may include, among others:
(i)
loans or additional investments from our sponsor, members of our management team or any of their respective affiliates or designees, including through the issuance of working capital units or extension units;
(ii)
the issuance of ordinary shares, preferred shares or debt securities to third parties pursuant to equity financing or debt financing arrangements entered into in connection with our initial business combination;
(iii)
the issuance of additional securities if we seek to consummate an initial business combination with a target business whose enterprise value exceeds the net proceeds of this offering; and
(iv)
the reservation and issuance of securities under an employee incentive plan adopted following the completion of our initial business combination.
For purposes of Item 1604(c)(1), Relativity would have 22,562,488 total shares after giving effect to the de-SPAC transaction and related financing under the zero-redemption scenario. Where redemptions are zero, the company valuation is based on Relativity’s offering price of the securities in the initial registered offering price per share of $10 is therefore calculated as: $10 (per share IPO price) times 22,562,488 shares, or $225,624,880.

INFORMATION ABOUT RELATIVITY
General
Relativity is a blank check company incorporated on April 13, 2021 as a Delaware exempted company organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
Significant Activities Since Inception
On February 15, 2022, Relativity consummated its initial public offering of 14,375,000 Public Units (including 1,875,000 units offered in connection with the full exercise of underwriters’ overallotment options). Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one Relativity Public Warrant. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to Relativity of $143,750,000.
In connection with the IPO, including the underwriters’ elections to exercise their overallotment option in relation thereto, Relativity consummated private sales of an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one Relativity Private Warrant. The Private Placements were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of approximately $6,537,500. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units, except that the underlying Relativity Private Warrant, so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by Relativity, (ii) (including the shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after Relativity completes its Initial Business Combination and (iii) (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) will be entitled to registration rights.
A total of $146,625,000 from the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement Units was placed in the Trust Account maintained by Continental, acting as trustee. Relativity must complete its Initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO. If Relativity’s Initial Business Combination is not consummated by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), then Relativity’s existence will terminate, and Relativity will distribute all amounts in the Trust Account.
On February 28, 2025, Relativity entered into the Business Combination Agreement with (i) Pubco, (ii) Merger Sub, (iii) BIOT, (iv) the Seller, (v) the BIOT Founder, (vi) the Sponsor as the Purchaser Representative, and (vii) Tomoki Nagano as the Seller Representative. BIOT is a Japanese company specializing in regenerative stem cell-based cosmetics solutions. BIOT offers a vertically integrated platform encompassing research and development, proprietary manufacturing, distribution, retail, and sale of innovative and advanced regenerative stem cell cosmetic products. At the Closing, in accordance with the DGCL, Companies Act and other applicable law, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Relativity, with Relativity continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and with security holders of Relativity receiving substantially equivalent securities of Pubco; (ii) Sellers will contribute all of its ownership interests in the Operating Company to Pubco in exchange for aggregate consideration in the amount of $225,000,000, to be paid in Pubco Ordinary Shares valued at $10.00 per share, and as a result of which the Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and (iii) Pubco will become a publicly traded company. At the Closing, each Relativity Public Warrant will be converted into one Pubco Public Warrant and each Relativity Private Warrant will be converted into one Pubco Private Warrant, in each case with such Pubco Warrant having substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the respective Relativity Warrants, except that in each case they will represent the right to acquire Pubco Ordinary Shares in lieu of shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock.
On February 27, 2023, Relativity issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock to the Sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of Relativity Class B Common Stock, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock. These shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Relativity Class B Common Stock before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of Redemption Rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an Initial Business

Combination as described in the prospectus for the IPO. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one share of Relativity Class B Common Stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock to certain members of the Sponsor.
On December 21, 2022, Relativity’s stockholders approved the Extension. Upon Relativity’s stockholders’ approval and the Relativity Board’s decision to extend the date by which Relativity must consummate its Initial Business Combination to August 15, 2023, Relativity deposited an aggregate amount of $10,000 from working capital into the Trust Account. In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (approximately $10.29 per public share) resulting in the payment of approximately $146 million from the Trust Account, leaving approximately $1.6 million in the Trust Account and 153,295 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock outstanding held by the Public Stockholders. On August 7, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024, which is the second of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on November 9, 2023. On January 31, 2024, Relativity filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC for a special meeting of stockholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on February 13, 2024 to amend its Current Charter to extend the date by which it must consummate its Initial Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 and to amend Trust Agreement to permit the Trustee to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. On January 28, 2025, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which is has to consummate a Business Combination through the Third Extension Amendment, the Sponsor or its designees have agreed to loan to us $.18 per public share (as defined below) that is not redeemed, aggregate for the calendar year (commencing on February 15, 2025 and on the 15th day of each subsequent month) until February 15, 2026, or portion thereof (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial Business Combination (each, an “Extension Loan”). On February 13, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to extend the time by which it can complete a business combination to February 15, 2027.
On January 12, 2023, Relativity received the Determination Letter from the Staff of the Nasdaq indicating that Relativity was not in compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules set forth in (i) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), requiring a minimum of $50 million Market Value of Listed Securities, (ii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B), requiring a minimum 1,100,000 Publicly Held Shares, and (iii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), requiring a minimum of $15 million in Market Value of Publicly Held Shares. In addition, the Determination Letter stated that Relativity did not comply with either of the alternative requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Listing Rules 5450(b)(1) or 5450(b)(3), or the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Listing Rule 5550. The Determination Letter also indicated that the Staff had concerns that Relativity may no longer comply with the minimum 400 Total Holders requirement of Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) due to the substantial number of stockholder redemptions and low number of shares remaining outstanding. Additionally, the Determination Letter indicated that, while companies are normally afforded compliance periods or the ability to submit a plan of compliance in order to be granted time to regain compliance, the Staff had determined to apply a more stringent criteria as permitted under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 to delist Relativity’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. As a result, the Determination Letter indicated that the Staff had determined to delist Relativity’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market.
In response to the Determination Letter, on February 27, 2023, Relativity issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock to the Initial Stockholders, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock. These shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Relativity Class B Common Stock before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of Redemption Rights and
 
135

 
the obligation to vote in favor of the Business Combination. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one share of Relativity Class B Common Stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock to certain members of the Sponsor. Subsequent to those transfers, the Sponsor holds 2,855,380 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock from the conversion of Relativity Class B Common Stock and one share of Relativity Class B Common Stock, as well as 653,750 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units. Following these conversions and transfers, there are currently 62,488 Public Shares outstanding and a total of 4,400,794 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one share of Relativity Class B Common Stock outstanding.
On March 2, 2023, Relativity had a hearing before the Panel to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. After the hearing, the Panel requested additional information from Relativity, which was provided on April 12, 2023. On April 20, 2023, the Panel granted Relativity’s request to continue the listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but declined to lift the trading halt on public interest concerns because of limited liquidity in Relativity’s stock. On June 3, 2024 the Nasdaq Stock Market delisted our Class A Common Stock, Units and Warrants from Listing under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 due to public interest concerns over the liquidity of Relativity’s securities. Further, it is uncertain if Pubco will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements to list its securities on Nasdaq, which is a condition to the closing of the Business Combination.
Fair Market Value of Target Business
Nasdaq rules require that Relativity must consummate an Initial Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions). The Relativity Board determined that this test was met in connection with the Business Combination as described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement” in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Effecting the Initial Business Combination
General
Relativity is not presently engaged in any operations other than to seek an Initial Business Combination such as the Business Combination. Relativity intends to effectuate an Initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units to the Sponsor described herein.
Stockholder Approval of the Business Combination and Redemption
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination, as described in the section titled “The Special Meeting” in this proxy statement/prospectus, Relativity is seeking stockholder approval at a meeting called for such purpose at which Public Stockholders may seek to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares for cash at a price per share equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two 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 Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. These Redemption Rights require that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be no Redemption Rights upon the completion of the Business Combination with respect to Relativity Warrants. Further, Relativity will not proceed with redeeming Public Shares, even if a Public Stockholder has properly elected to redeem its shares, if the Business Combination does not close.
The approval of the Business Combination requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares of Relativity Common Stock, voting together as a single class at the Stockholder Special Meeting. A majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding Relativity Common Stock entitled to vote at the Stockholder Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the
 
136

 
Stockholder Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Stockholder Special Meeting. The Initial Stockholders, who currently own approximately 96.5% of the issued and outstanding Relativity Common Stock, will count towards this quorum.
Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting
The Initial Stockholders have entered into an agreement with Relativity, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their Redemption Rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with (i) the completion of an Initial Business Combination, including the Business Combination, and (ii) a stockholder vote to approve the amendments to Relativity’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) that would modify the substance or timing of Relativity’s obligation to provide holders of its common stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with an Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if Relativity does not complete an Initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO or during any Extension period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of Relativity’s common stock. No consideration was received by the Sponsor or the members of Relativity’s management team for their waiver of Redemption Rights.
Redemption Rights
Public Stockholders may seek to redeem the Public Shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for the Business Combination, against the Business Combination or do not vote in relation to the Business Combination. Any Public Stockholder may request redemption of their Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (less taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption of their Public Shares as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” ​(as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.
The Initial Stockholders will not have Redemption Rights with respect to any shares of Relativity Common Stock owned by them, directly or indirectly.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:
(i)
hold (a) Public Shares or (b) Public Shares through Public Units and you elect to separate such units into the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
(ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 23, 2026, (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent that Relativity redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your share certificates for your Public Shares (if any) to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.
If you hold the Public Shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Public Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. In the event the Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their shares.
 
137

 
Holders of Public Units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption Rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Public Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying Public Shares and Relativity Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Public Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct them to do so.
Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time, with Relativity’s consent, until the Closing. If Relativity receives valid redemption requests from holders of Public Shares prior to the redemption deadline, Relativity may, at its sole discretion, following the redemption deadline and until the date of Closing, seek and permit withdrawals by one or more of such holders of their redemption requests. Relativity may select which holders to seek such withdrawals of redemption requests from based on any factors we may deem relevant, and the purpose of seeking such withdrawals may be to increase the funds held in the Trust Account, including where Relativity otherwise would not satisfy the Closing condition that the amount in the Trust Account, following payment of the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy any redemptions and payment of all Relativity and BIOT transaction expenses. If a holder of Public Shares delivered its Public Shares for redemption to the Transfer Agent and decides within the required timeframe not to exercise its Redemption Rights, it may request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.
If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then the Public Stockholders who elected to exercise their Redemption Rights will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares. In such case, Relativity will promptly return any shares previously delivered by the Public Stockholders.
The closing price of the Relativity Class A Common Stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026 was $7.03. On January 11, 2023, the last day of trading prior to the date Relativity’s Units and Warrants stopped trading (the “Trading Halt”), the closing sale prices of the Public Units, and Relativity Public Warrants were $12.99 and $0.0471, respectively.
If a Public Stockholder exercises its Redemption Rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own those Public Shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for your Public Shares only if (i) prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 23, 2026, you properly exercise your right to redeem the Public Shares that you will hold upon the Closing and deliver your Public Shares (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent, and (ii) the Business Combination is consummated.
Liquidation If No Initial Business Combination
The Current Charter provides that Relativity will have until February 15, 2027 to complete its Initial Business Combination. If Relativity is unable to complete its Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), Relativity will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 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 Relativity’s 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), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Relativity’s remaining stockholders and the Relativity Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to Relativity’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no Redemption Rights or liquidating distributions with respect to Relativity Warrants, which will expire worthless if Relativity fails to complete its Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders).
Pursuant to the IPO Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and Relativity’s officers and directors have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if Relativity fails to complete its Initial Business Combination within the period set forth in the Current
 
138

 
Charter. This waiver was made at the time of the IPO for no additional consideration. However, if the Sponsor or Relativity’s officers or directors 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 Relativity fails to complete its Initial Business Combination within the allotted time period.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed that they will not propose any amendment to the Current Charter to (A) modify the substance or timing of Relativity’s obligation to provide for the redemption of Public Shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of Public Shares if Relativity does not complete its Initial Business Combination by February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders) or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Initial Business Combination activity, unless Relativity provides its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 Relativity to pay its taxes on such amounts (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
Relativity expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, although Relativity cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. Relativity depends on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account to pay any tax obligations it may owe. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, Relativity may request the trustee to release to it an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
Prior to removing any interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to Relativity to pay taxes, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon Relativity’s dissolution would be approximately $12.62 as of the Record Date. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of Relativity’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of its Public Stockholders. Relativity cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by Public Stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.20. Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, Relativity’s plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against Relativity 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 Relativity makes any distribution of its remaining assets to its stockholders. While Relativity intends to pay such amounts, if any, Relativity cannot assure you that it will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
Although Relativity has and will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which Relativity does business execute agreements with Relativity waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the Public Stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements, they may not 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 advantage with respect to a claim against Relativity’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to enter into an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, Relativity’s management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to Relativity, and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if Relativity’s management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of Relativity under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where Relativity may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. Withum, Relativity’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Representative did not execute agreements with Relativity waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.
 
139

 
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 Relativity and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of Public Shares, if Relativity is unable to complete its Initial Business Combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with Relativity’s Initial Business Combination, Relativity will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Relativity within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by Public Stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to the IPO Letter Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Relativity, or a prospective target business with which Relativity 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) $10.20 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 $10.20 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 Relativity’s indemnity of the IPO Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, Relativity has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has Relativity independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations, and Relativity believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Relativity. Therefore, Relativity cannot assure you that the 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 Relativity’s Initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per Public Share. In such event, Relativity may not be able to complete its Initial Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of Relativity’s officers or directors will indemnify Relativity for claims by third parties, including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below (i) $10.20 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 which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Relativity’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Relativity currently expects that Relativity’s independent directors would take legal action on Relativity’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to Relativity, it is possible that Relativity’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so 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. Relativity has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations and Relativity cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Accordingly, Relativity cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.20 per Public Share.
Relativity 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 it does business execute agreements with Relativity waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under Relativity’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. As of March 31, 2025, 2025, Relativity had $45,438 in its operating bank account. In the event that Relativity liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from the 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 the Trust Account
 
140

 
distributed to Public Stockholders upon the redemption of Public Shares in the event Relativity does not complete its Initial Business Combination before February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders) 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 the Trust Account distributed to Public Stockholders upon the redemption of Public Shares in the event Relativity does not complete its Initial Business Combination before February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), 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 Relativity is unable to complete its Initial Business Combination before February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), Relativity 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 Relativity 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) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of Relativity’s remaining stockholders and the Relativity Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Relativity’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is Relativity’s intention to redeem its Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), and, therefore, Relativity does not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, Relativity’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Relativity’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.
Because Relativity will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires it to adopt a plan, based on facts known to it at such time, that will provide for Relativity’s payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years. However, because Relativity is a blank check company rather than an operating company, and Relativity’s operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from Relativity’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained in Relativity’s IPO underwriting agreement, Relativity has and will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which Relativity does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account. As a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against Relativity are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the Trust Account is remote. Further, the Sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in the Trust Account are not reduced below (i) $10.20 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 Relativity’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
 
141

 
If Relativity files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Relativity’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Relativity’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, Relativity cannot assure you it will be able to return $10.20 per share to its Public Stockholders. Additionally, if Relativity files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it 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 Relativity’s stockholders. Furthermore, the Relativity Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to Relativity’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Relativity to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Relativity cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.
Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of Relativity’s Initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend any provisions of the Current Charter to (A) modify the substance or timing of Relativity’s obligation to provide for the redemption of Public Shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of Public Shares if Relativity does not complete its Initial Business Combination before February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders) or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Initial Business Combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of Public Shares if Relativity is unable to complete its Initial Business Combination before February 15, 2027 (unless such date is extended pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter or by Relativity’s stockholders), subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In connection with stockholder approval for the Business Combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the Business Combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to Relativity for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its Redemption Rights as described above. These provisions of the Current Charter, like all provisions of the Current Charter, may be amended with a stockholder vote.
Facilities
Relativity currently maintains its executive offices at 3753 Howard Hughes Pkwy, Suite 200, Las Vegas, Nevada 89169. The cost for Relativity’s use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee it pays to an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. Relativity considers its current office space adequate for its current operations.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the principal executive offices of Relativity will be those of Pubco, at which time nothing more will be paid to such affiliate of the Sponsor.
Employees
Relativity currently has two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Relativity’s matters, but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to Relativity’s affairs until it has completed an Initial Business Combination, such as the Business Combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on the stage of the business combination process Relativity is in. Relativity does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of an Initial Business Combination.
Periodic Reporting and Financial Information
Public Units, Relativity Class A Common Stock and Relativity Public Warrants are registered under the Exchange Act and Relativity has reporting obligations, including the requirement that it file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, Relativity’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by its independent registered public accounting firm.

Director
The experience of Relativity’s directors and executive officers is as follows:
Tarek Khalil Tabsh is an entrepreneur, operator, and strategic investor with over 20 years of experience building and scaling innovative businesses at the intersection of regulation, science, and frontier growth sectors. He is the co-founder of Hoplite Systems Inc., a defense technology company developing advanced, autonomous tactical systems aligned with U.S. Department of Defense priorities, supported by a world-class team of leaders in unmanned systems and defense innovation.
He co-founded and guided the initial vision for Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies, a UK-based pharmaceutical company developing therapies that target the endocannabinoid system, in partnership with Oxford University. He secured institutional investment from one of the world’s largest tobacco companies — validating the commercial potential of emerging science in tightly regulated environments.
In 2016, Mr. Tabsh also co-founded Province Brands, a disruptive, premium beverage technology company in Ontario, Canada, and helped create the world’s first cannabis/hemp brewery, as well as a new brewing tradition with a patented technology designed to enable the world’s first beverage fermented from the hemp plant rather than barley or grain. Mr. Tabsh worked to develop the recipes, methods, processes and intellectual property for development. From 2016 to 2018, Mr. Tabsh founded the New Amsterdam Naturals medical clinic/dispensary and brand in Las Vegas, a brand that has won over 25 industry awards, including High Times’ World Cup and U.S. Cup, and California Medical Cannabis Cups.
Mr. Tabsh has also advised licensed therapeutic producers and pharmaceutical operators across the European Union, while building a portfolio of recognized brands and IP assets. For all of Mr. Tabsh’s medical facility developments, he has a deep commitment to improving his community. For his efforts in revitalizing the Las Vegas Downtown District, Mr. Tabsh was awarded a Nevada State Senate Certificate of Appreciation. His medical facility was also showcased in the European Union Parliament as a model for responsible medical product dispensing. He previously served on the ArcView Selection Committee, where he evaluated companies for presentation to the world’s largest investor network focused on frontier markets. His consistent ability to identify high-potential opportunities, navigate legislative complexity, and scale businesses earned him recognition as one of High Times’ Top 100 Most Influential Entrepreneurs in both 2018 and 2019.
Mr. Tabsh completed his graduate education program through a multidisciplinary approach, spanning the Harvard Business School, the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management, with a focus on innovation-driven entrepreneurship. He brings to the Relativity board a proven track record of innovation, regulatory insight, and disciplined leadership — positioning him to lead M&A initiatives across life sciences, defense, cybersecurity, technology, and healthcare with institutional rigor and long-term value creation at the core.
Steven Berg, Relativity’s Chief Financial Officer since January 2022, is a business leader with over 30 years’ experience spanning investment banking to building prominent companies in the cannabis industry. He has leveraged his background in strategy, capital raising and finance to build some of the most
 
143

 
successful brands in cannabis. Mr. Berg is passionate about creating sustainable value through innovative strategy, execution via best practices, and high ethical standards for the benefit of all enterprise stakeholders. Mr. Berg’s key professional accomplishments have been achieved in executive roles at consumer products and financial companies. Mr. Berg most recently was CEO of NWT Holdings, LLC (dba Firefly Vapor), from June 2017 to December 2019, a leader in cannabis vaporization technology and consumer products. After taking the helm of the innovative startup company in 2017, Mr. Berg streamlined operations and managed new product development to position for growth. To scale the brand, he then successfully negotiated and executed the acquisition of Firefly by SLANG Worldwide as an integral component to SLANG’s IPO on the Canadian Stock Exchange. Prior to Firefly, Mr. Berg was the CFO of NWT Holdings, Inc. (dba O.penVAPE/Organa Brands, from December 2013 to June 2016), a Colorado pioneer in cannabis vaporization and oil extraction products. In addition to managing corporate finances and strategic initiatives, he drove brand expansion into multiple new state markets through recruitment of new operational partners and structuring license agreements. Prior to O.penVAPE, Mr. Berg was a founding partner of the ArcView Group’s ArcView Investor Network (May 2011 – November 2013), the cannabis industry’s first private investor network. ArcView has raised over $300 million in funding for startup entrepreneurs, venture and growth-stage companies. He conceived the network structure, engineered initial operations, and recruited charter investor members that built the foundation for ArcView’s success. Before entering the legal cannabis arena, Mr. Berg worked as an investment banker for major financial firms. He served as a Managing Director in the Capital Markets Group at Wells Fargo Bank in San Davidco, focusing on structured and derivatives transactions in corporate finance and developing multiple new funding and risk management products. He previously was with Union Bank of Switzerland and BNP Paribas in New York, where he worked in business combinations and acquisitions, as well as in derivatives trading and risk management functions in the capital markets. Mr. Berg holds an M.B.A. from New York University Stern School of Business, and an undergraduate degree in Finance and Accounting from San Davidco State University.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Relativity currently has four directors. The Relativity Board is divided into two classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to Relativity’s first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a two-year term. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, Relativity is not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after its first fiscal year end following its listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of David Kane, and will expire at Relativity’s first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Tarek Tabsh and Jessica Assaf, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders.
Relativity’s officers are appointed by the Relativity Board and serve at its discretion, rather than for specific terms of office. The Relativity Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in Relativity’s bylaws as it deems appropriate. Relativity’s bylaws provide that Relativity’s officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretaries and such other offices as may be determined by the Relativity Board.
Director Independence
Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of the Relativity Board be independent within one year of the IPO. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Relativity Board has determined that, Jessica Assaf and David Kane II are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Relativity’s independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Executive Officer and Director Compensation
None of Relativity’s officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. The Sponsor, Relativity’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any
 
144

 
bona-fide, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Relativity’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Initial Business Combination, such as the Business Combination. In addition, Relativity has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support, until the consummation of Relativity’s Initial Business Combination. Relativity’s audit committee will also review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, Relativity’s officers, directors, and advisers, or any of their respective affiliates.
After the completion of Relativity’s Initial Business Combination, directors or members of its management team who remain with the combined company may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed Initial Business Combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time such materials are distributed, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to the combined company’s officers after the completion of Relativity’s Initial Business Combination will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.
Relativity does not intend to take any action to ensure that members of its management team maintain their positions with the combined company after the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, although it is possible that some or all of Relativity’s officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with the combined after the Initial Business Combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence Relativity’s management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but Relativity does not believe that the ability of its management to remain with the combined company after the consummation of an Initial Business Combination will be a determining factor in its decision to proceed with any potential business combination. Relativity is not party to any agreements with its officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Committees of the Relativity Board
Pursuant to Nasdaq rules, the Relativity Boar has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance 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 and the nominating and corporate governance committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.
Audit Committee
Relativity has established an audit committee of the board of directors. David Kane and Jessica Assaf serve as members of the audit committee, and Mr. Kane chairs the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, Relativity is required to have at least two members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent. Each of Mr. Kane and Ms. Assaf meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.
Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and the Relativity Board has determined that Mr. Kane qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.
Relativity has adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:

the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by Relativity;

pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by Relativity, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
 
145

 

setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm, including but not limited to, as required by applicable laws and regulations;

setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (i) the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures, (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues and (iii) all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and Relativity to assess the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence;

reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to Relativity entering into such transaction; and

reviewing with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and Relativity’s legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding Relativity’s financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the FASB, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Compensation Committee
Relativity has established a compensation committee of the board of directors. Jessica Assaf and serve as members of the compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, Relativity is required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. Ms. Assaf and Mr. are independent, and Ms. Assaf chairs the compensation committee.
Relativity has 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 Relativity’s Chief Executive Officers’ compensation, if any is paid by Relativity, evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of the Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation, if any is paid by Relativity, of all of Relativity’s other officers;

reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;

implementing and administering Relativity’s incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

assisting management in complying with Relativity’s proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for Relativity’s officers and employees;

if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in Relativity’s annual proxy statement; and

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, other than the payment to an affiliate of the Sponsor of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support and reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, has been or will be paid to any of Relativity’s existing stockholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an Initial Business
 
146

 
Combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such Initial Business Combination.
The compensation committee’s charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be 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.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Relativity has established a nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors. David Kane II and serve as members of the nominating and corporate governance committee. Mr. Kane and Mr. are independent, and Mr. Kane chairs the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee will recommend to the Relativity Board candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting of the stockholders. Prior to Relativity’s Initial Business Combination, the Relativity Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by holders of Founder Shares during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at an annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Prior to Relativity’s Initial Business Combination, holders of Public Shares will not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to the Relativity Board.
Relativity has not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Relativity Board considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of Relativity’s business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom and the ability to represent the best interests of Relativity’s stockholders.
Code of Ethics
Relativity has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics applicable to its directors, officers and employees. Relativity has filed a copy of the form of the Code of Conduct and Ethics as an exhibit to the registration statement relating to the IPO. You can review these documents by accessing Relativity’s public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Relativity intends to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of its Code of Conduct and Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition, a copy of the Code of Conduct and Ethics will be provided from Relativity upon request without charge.
Conflicts of Interest
In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and

it would not be fair to Relativity’s company and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.
Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, Relativity’s officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Furthermore, Relativity’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Relativity renounce Relativity’s interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Relativity’s company and such opportunity is one Relativity are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for Relativity to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to Relativity without violating another legal obligation.

RELATIVITY MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Relativity included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting Relativity’s current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect its future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us” and “our” in this subsection generally refer to Relativity.
Recent Developments
On February 28, 2025, Relativity entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub, Pubco, BIOT, Sellers, the BIOT Founders and other parties thereto. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, in accordance with the DGCL, Companies Act and other applicable law, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Relativity, with Relativity continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and with security holders of Relativity receiving substantially equivalent securities of Pubco; (ii) each Seller will contribute all of its ownership interests in each Operating Company to Pubco in exchange for aggregate consideration in the amount of $225,000,000, to be paid in Pubco Ordinary Shares valued at $10.00 per share, and as a result of which each Operating Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco; and (iii) Pubco will become a publicly traded company. At the Closing, each Relativity Public Warrant will be converted into one Pubco Public Warrant and each Relativity Private Warrant will be converted into one Pubco Private Warrant, in each case with such Pubco Warrant having substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the respective Relativity Warrants, except that in each case they will represent the right to acquire Pubco Ordinary Shares in lieu of shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock.
On December 21, 2022, Relativity’s stockholders approved the Extension. Upon Relativity’s stockholders’ approval and the Relativity Board’s decision to extend the date by which Relativity must consummate its Initial Business Combination to August 15, 2023, Relativity deposited an aggregate amount of $10,000 from working capital into the Trust Account. In connection with the extension, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (approximately $10.29 per public share) resulting in the payment of approximately $146 million from the Trust Account, leaving approximately $1.6 million in the Trust Account and 153,295 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock outstanding held by the Public Stockholders. On August 7, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024, which is the second of two Funded Extension Periods. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Current Charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on November 9, 2023. On January 31, 2024, Relativity filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC for a special meeting of stockholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on February 13, 2024 to amend its Current Charter to extend the date by which it must consummate its Initial Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 and to amend Trust Agreement to permit the Trustee to maintain the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. On January 28, 2025, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which is has to consummate a Business Combination through the Third Extension Amendment, the Sponsor or its designees have agreed to loan to us $.18 per public share (as defined below) that is not redeemed, aggregate for the calendar year (commencing on February 15, 2025 and on the 15th day of each subsequent month) until February 15, 2026, or portion thereof (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an
 
149

 
initial Business Combination (each, an “Extension Loan”). On February 13, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to extend the time by which it can complete a business combination to February 15, 2027.
Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2025, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 13, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2025, relates to our formation and initial public offering and identifying a target company for a business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a business combination, at the earliest. We generated non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the initial public offering and placed in the trust account.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we had net loss of $954,647, which consists of change in the fair value of warrant liability of $668,780, general and administrative expenses of $291,304 and provision for income taxes of $808, offset by income from cash held in the trust account of $6,245.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had net income of $242,417, which consists of gain from extinguishment of promissory note of $249,985, income from investment in trust account of $8,059 and a change in the fair value of warrant liability of $86,041, offset by formation and operating costs of $100,563 and provision for income taxes of $1,105.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had net loss of $1,549,713, which consists of general and administrative expenses of $776,165, a change in the fair value of warrant liability of $803,287 and provision for income taxes of $2,513, offset by income from cash held in the trust account of $18,564 and gain from forgiveness of professional fees of $13,688.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had net loss of $196,776, which consists of formation and operating costs of $627,354 and provision for income taxes of $28,474, offset by and gain from extinguishment of promissory note of $360,114, a change in the fair value of warrant liability of $66,879 and income from investment in trust account of $32,059.
Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, including resurgences and the emergence of new virus variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $21,280 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,863,206.
On February 15, 2022, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,375,000 Units, including 1,875,000 Units pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $143,750,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 653,750 Private Placement Units in the Private Placement to our Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $6,537,500.
Transaction costs amounted to $3,890,326, consisting of $1,437,500 of underwriting commissions, $1,972,398 of the excess of the fair value of Class B Common Stock issued to the Initial Public Offering underwriter over the share subscription receivable and $480,428 of other offering costs.
 
150

 
Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering, $146,625,000.00 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units in the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account maintained by Continental, as trustee.
In connection with our 2022 Special Meeting held on December 21, 2022, stockholders holding 14,221,705 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in our Trust Account. As a result, approximately $146 million (approximately $10.29 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $1,671,810 remained in the Trust Account. On February 13, 2024, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 (the “Combination Period”). In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. On February 13, 2025, the Company held the 2025 Meeting. At the 2025 Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2025 to February 15, 2026 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2025, stockholders holding 753 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $9,266 (approximately $12.31 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
Following redemptions, the Company has 62,488 and 63,241 Public Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $786,345 and $769,267 remained in the Trust Account.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes and liquidation expenses if we are unsuccessful in completing a Business Combination. We may pay our franchise taxes from funds from the Initial Public Offering held outside of the Trust Account or from interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and released to us for this purpose. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account reduced by our operating expense and franchise taxes. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the Trust Account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
Further, our Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required for Working Capital Loans. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
On August 10, 2023, we issued the SVES Promissory Note to SVES LLC under which SVES LLC agreed to extend us $300,000 for working capital purposes. The SVES Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the closing of the SVES Business Combination. In the event the SVES Business Combination is not consummated, the SVES Promissory Note shall be null and void and we shall not have any obligation to the payee. As of December 31, 2023, SVES LLC had funded $15,600 on the promissory note
 
151

 
and had $284,400 available for withdrawal. Due to the termination of the SVES Business Combination, on May 15, 2024, the SVES Promissory Note is null and void.
On July 15, 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note (“Mazaii Note”) with Mazaii Corp Ltd. pursuant to which Mazaii agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000. The Mazaii note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Mazaii note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder. The exclusivity period of the LOI expired on September 12, 2024 by which time both parties had chosen to not proceed. As a result, the Mazaii Note became null and void.
On January 24, 2025, the Company entered into a promissory note (“Instinct Note”) with Instinct Bio Technical Company Pte Ltd. (“Instinct”) pursuant to which Instinct agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000. The Instinct Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Instinct Note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an outstanding balance of $400,000 under the Instinct Note.
The Company will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Further, we have determined that if we are unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, then 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 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. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as our working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the applicable extension date.
We pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support, pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement. Upon completion of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 of administrative service fees, respectively, and $215,000 payable recoded as accrued costs and expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $90,000 of administrative service fees, respectively.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” the Company has until February 15, 2027 (absent any extensions of such period, pursuant to the terms described above) to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this date. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, unless that time is extended (as provided above, or pursuant to a stockholder vote), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential
 
152

 
subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate by February 15, 2027. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our 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. We have 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, we 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 our financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Critical Accounting Estimates
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. We determined the more significant accounting estimates included in our financial statements is the determination of the fair value of derivative financial instruments.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, such as our Warrants, 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 contained elsewhere in this Report. 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 consolidated balance sheets 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.
 
153

 
The valuation of our Public Warrants is based on a traded market. Our Private Placement Warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo options pricing model which utilizes assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We estimate the volatility of our Common Stock based on projected volatility of comparable public companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the Warrants is based on Management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a Business Combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which we anticipate to remain at zero.
The estimates used to calculate the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities change at each balance sheet date based on our stock price and other assumptions described above. If our assumptions change or we experience significant volatility in our stock price or interest rates, the fair value calculated from one balance sheet period to the next could be materially different.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the accompanying financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

OEM/ODM Stem Cell-Based Skincare
We are a leading OEM and ODM specializing in the formulation, development, and production of stem cell-based skincare products. Our expertise lies in leveraging advanced biotechnology to create high-performance skincare solutions tailored to the needs of beauty brands. We provide end-to-end solutions, from product conceptualization and research & development to manufacturing, packaging, and quality control.
For our OEM services, we design and manufacture products that are then branded with our clients’ logos. For these products, cost efficiency is often a primary concern for our customers. Conversely, our ODM services involve designing and customizing core products to align with each brand’s distinctive image and requirements. In ODM partnerships, technology, performance, and uniqueness are prioritized, with cost considerations typically secondary. Collectively, OEM and ODM sales constitute a significant portion of our revenue, accounting for approximately $2,974,029 and $2,261,657, or 86.6% and 81.9% of our total revenue in the years ended November 30, 2023, and 2024, respectively.
We procure our stem cell culture-derived raw materials for our products from Invitrx Therapeutics Inc. a leading biotechnology firm, that sources umbilical cord tissue from consenting donors and are manufactured under current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) conditions. Our formulations contain exosomes, extracellular vesicles derived from hUMSCs, which are naturally rich in growth factors, cytokines, and other cell signaling molecules that play a pivotal role in cell-to-cell communication, promote collagen production and aid in tissue repair and regeneration.1
Unlike living stem cells, which face significant regulatory and storage challenges, exosomes are non-cellular, lipid-bound vesicles (30-150 nanometers in diameter) that act as biological messengers. Exosomes serve as an advanced delivery mechanism, encapsulating and protecting essential biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, microRNAs (miRNA), and growth factors. This protective encapsulation enables superior skin penetration and prolonged bioavailability, making them far more effective than synthetic growth factors or peptides, which lack an inherent delivery system and degrade quickly upon topical application.2
Many competing skincare products attempt to replicate stem cell signaling through synthetic recombinant peptides (laboratory-produced proteins that mimic natural proteins secreted by stem cells), bacterial-derived proteins (proteins sourced from bacteria and used for their biological activity), or chemically engineered small molecules (custom-designed compounds that can influence skin cell behavior). However, these approaches often suffer from rapid degradation, poor absorption, and limited biological activity. In contrast, our proprietary exosome-based technology uses naturally secreted extracellular vesicles called exosomes — derived from hUMSCs to transport active ingredients directly to target skin cells. This promotes enhanced collagen production, reduces inflammation, and accelerates epidermal cell renewal. By harnessing the innate regenerative potential of hUMSC-derived exosomes, our products provide a scientifically backed, next-generation approach to skin health including regulating pigmentation, facial rejuvenation3 and anti-aging benefits.
Stem cell Culture Media and Regenerative Skincare

1980s, leading cosmetic corporations such as Kanebo Cosmetics, Inc. (Kanebo) and Shiseido Company, Limited (Shiseido) substantially increased investment in R&D, with a focus on bioactive compounds targeting dermal regeneration and cellular ageing. A key breakthrough during that time was the stimulation of hyaluronic acid production — a crucial skincare ingredient known for its moisturizing and skin-reinforcing properties, both closely linked to anti-ageing benefits. The persistent consumer demand has since driven the continuous evolution of the industry, resulting in the development of innovative active ingredients and delivery systems. In recent years, stem cell culture media has emerged as a high-potential raw material, peer-reviewed sources have referred CM to as the “next frontier” in cosmeceuticals.4,5 This ingredient is being explored for its ability to send rejuvenating signals between cells and regenerative properties, particularly in relation to anti-ageing skincare and hair follicle vitality.6 A peer-reviewed animal study (Park et al., Biomed Res. 2010) demonstrated that CM derived from adipose-derived stem cells significantly stimulates hair regeneration in mice by inducing the anagen (active growth) phase of the hair cycle and increasing proliferation of human dermal papilla cells (specialized cells at the base of hair follicles that control hair growth) and epithelial keratinocytes (the main skin cells that line the scalp and follicles, which help form new hair and repair tissue). The hair-promoting effect was notably enhanced under hypoxic culture conditions, which increased secretion of natural proteins and growth factors such as IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, M-CSF, PDGF-receptor-β and VEGF. These results reinforce the regenerative and paracrine potential of stem cell-derived conditioned media as a cell-free approach for promoting hair growth.7
Stem cells represent a rapidly advancing field in regenerative medicine, offering potential treatments for various critical diseases, particularly those with unmet medical needs.8 These cells are recognized for their ability to promote wound healing, with multiple companies exploring their application in wound care products. When stem cells are introduced into tissues, they differentiate and develop into specialized cell types, such as myocytes (muscle cells) or hematopoietic cells (blood cells) — enabling them to replenish depleted cell populations and facilitate the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues within an organism. Stem cells are propagated through a laboratory-based process known as stem cell culture, wherein the cells are maintained and expanded in vitro using a specialized culture medium. This medium is formulated with specific nutrients, growth factors, and signaling molecules optimized to support the proliferation and maintenance of various stem cell types.9 Through multiple subculturing and passaging cycles carried out over several months, millions of stem cell copies can be generated from an initial seed population.10 However, their survival and successful integration into the host environment depend on specific growth factors and cytokines. Research suggests

that these essential factors are naturally present in the spent media of cultured stem cells, making them valuable for regenerative medicine and cosmetic formulations.11
The aforementioned stem cell culture media, often referred to as the by-product of stem cell cultivation, which is used as a key raw ingredient in cosmetics. It is also known by various other terminologies, such as stem cell culture supernatant, conditioned media, extract, or fluid, among many others. Human-derived stem cell culture media, for example, contain two important types of proteins — growth factors and cytokines. Existing scientific literature indicates the effectiveness of stem cell-derived growth factors and cytokines in enhancing skin regeneration, reducing wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture.12 Third party studies suggests that these bioactive compounds aid in wound healing by accelerating tissue repair and promoting collagen synthesis.13 Studies also indicate that stem cell-conditioned media (CM), derived from the spent culture medium of stem cells, contains essential growth factors that can be used in cosmeceuticals and regenerative treatments without requiring live stem cells.14
For example, clinical trials have shown that topical application of CM results in significant improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and reduction of hyperpigmentation.15 Research on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived CM has demonstrated its role in promoting fibroblast proliferation, which is essential for maintaining youthful skin.16 Furthermore, studies suggest that CM is effective in treating conditions such as burns, scars, and chronic wounds due to its regenerative properties.17
However, aging significantly depletes endogenous stem cell populations, leading to diminished repair capacity, increased oxidative stress, and visible signs of skin aging such as wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation. Furthermore, stem cells accumulate DNA damage, resulting in impaired protein synthesis, cellular senescence, and diminished regenerative potential.

Formulation Techniques and Extraction Process
The effectiveness of stem cell-conditioned media depends on the method of extraction and formulation. The medium is collected from carefully cultured stem cells, typically mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), in a controlled laboratory environment. Advanced bioreactor systems are used to optimize the growth conditions, ensuring the highest yield of bioactive proteins, including epidermal growth factors (EGFs), fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), transforming growth factors (TGFs), and interleukins (ILs).
Once harvested, the conditioned medium undergoes a filtration and purification process to remove unwanted cellular debris while retaining key regenerative molecules. Some formulations further enhance stability using liposomal encapsulation or nanotechnology, allowing deeper penetration into the skin layers. Additionally, CM-based products may incorporate peptides, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid to improve hydration and efficacy.
The versatility of stem cell-conditioned media has led to its adoption across multiple industries, particularly in skincare, haircare, and wound healing. Some of its key applications include:

Anti-Aging and Skin Rejuvenation — CM-infused serums and creams help reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and restore hydration by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Hyperpigmentation Treatment — Certain growth factors in CM inhibit melanin synthesis, reducing dark spots and promoting an even skin tone.

Wound Healing and Scar Reduction — CM-based formulations have been used in post-surgical treatments and burn recovery due to their ability to accelerate tissue repair and minimize scar formation.

Hair Regeneration — Studies suggest that growth factors and cytokines in CM stimulate hair follicles, improving hair density and reducing hair loss. CM is increasingly used in scalp treatments and serums for hair regrowth therapy.

Under-Eye Dark Circle Reduction — The bioactive compounds in CM help strengthen the delicate under-eye area, reducing puffiness and dark circles while enhancing skin firmness.
Research into the application of human amnion-derived stem cells and their conditioned media in skincare formulations has shown promising results. Studies indicate that these components can enhance skin regeneration, improve moisture retention, and reduce signs of aging. For instance, a clinical study demonstrated that cosmetics containing adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned media (ADSC-CM) led to

increased skin moisture, decreased transepidermal water loss (the natural loss of water through the outer layer of skin), and improvements in skin whitening and wrinkle reduction.18
Benefits of Stem Cells Conditioned Medium
The conditioned medium derived from stem cells offers a range of benefits due to the presence of growth factors and cytokines such as VEGF (which supports blood vessel formation), TGF-beta (which regulates cell growth and repair), and PDGF (which aids tissue healing), which contribute to maintaining healthy skin. Additionally, factors like KGF (which stimulates skin cell growth), IGF-1 (which supports cell renewal), IL6 (which assists in immune response and repair), and TGF-beta play a crucial role in wound healing. Beyond skin health, this medium is rich in essential growth factors that support hair regeneration and overall scalp health.
Furthermore, the bioactive components in the conditioned medium have skin-brightening properties, making it a valuable ingredient in cosmetics designed for skin brightening and reducing under-eye dark circles. When incorporated into cleansers, it provides gentle yet effective cleansing while rejuvenating the skin with regular use.
While stem cell therapy holds promise for treating critical medical conditions, its byproducts also offer significant aesthetic benefits, promoting anti-aging effects and enhancing natural beauty. By applying advanced formulation techniques, these stem cell-derived factors can be utilized in cosmeceutical and biopharmaceutical products. The advancements in stem cell research not only address unmet medical needs but also cater to the growing demand for aesthetic enhancements, offering a promising future for both healthcare and beauty industries.

As part of our continued commitment to scientific excellence and disruptive innovation, the integration of AI is being pursued through a proprietary initiative referred to as the “F1 Project”. This initiative is designed to optimize and transform the formulation of regenerative cosmetics and dietary supplements, with the ultimate aim of delivering high-performance, clinically validated products that meet the increasing global demand for personalized and results-driven wellness solutions.
The F1 Project leverages AI technologies (“F1 Algorithm”) to analyze, deconstruct, and reconstruct leading cosmetic and nutraceutical formulations. These technologies process a wide array of data inputs, including raw material characteristics, ingredient interactions, historical development data, and consumer trends. Through this, the platform is capable of identifying optimal balance of ingredients and performance attributes that drive both product efficacy and consumer appeal. This data-driven methodology enables us to create optimized formulations for cosmetics, supplements, and wellness products with greater speed and precision. The application of the F1 Project aims to improve product safety, stability, and functionality, while significantly reducing formulation timelines.
In addition to formulation development, the F1 Project incorporates AI-powered market analysis tools that continuously monitor and interpret global consumer preferences and demand shifts. These real-time insights allow the Company to make informed design decisions and engage in iterative development processes that are responsive to market feedback and emerging wellness trends.
We utilize AI Algorithms to conduct in-depth analysis of leading domestic and international cosmetic and skincare brands, with a focus on studying ingredient composition, efficacy profiles, and consumer perception. This allows the Company to identify successful formulation patterns and benchmark best-in-class product and derive insights that support the formulation of differentiated and competitive offerings. To support these capabilities, we are building proprietary databases cataloging the functional properties, synergistic effects, safety profiles, and regulatory classification of a broad spectrum of cosmetic and nutraceutical ingredients. These databases empower AI systems to simulate and optimize custom formulations targeted at specific concerns such as hydration, skin brightening, anti-aging, and hair vitality.
The AI infrastructure further incorporates predictive analytics and machine learning models, the AI system designs optimized formulations that aim to exceed the efficacy of existing market offerings. These high-performance products will incorporate regenerative bioactive compounds, including stem cell-derived ingredients, to support skin rejuvenation, repair, and overall wellness.

We plan to offer access to the F1 Algorithm and associated AI models in 2027, including Ingredient Synergy AI and Safety Risk Evaluator, as a Business-to-Business Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, providing cosmetic formulators and nutraceutical companies with AI-generated formulation tools, predictive modeling dashboards, and ingredient intelligence modules. We are in the final stages of developing the Ingredient Interaction AI Model, which will further strengthen our ability to design formulations with improved stability and lower adverse event potential. Validation testing for this model is ongoing and is expected to continue through the 2026 fiscal year.
All AI models and systems utilized in the F1 Project have been developed internally. The initiative does not rely on third-party AI platforms, licensed software, or externally developed tools. However, as our technological needs evolve, we may consider incorporating or licensing external AI systems where appropriate to enhance functionality or meet specific analytical requirements.
We are also exploring potential intellectual property protections for the AI systems developed under the F1 Project, including the filing of patent applications for core algorithmic technologies and formulation processes.
Looking forward, we intend for the F1 Project to evolve into a revolutionary comprehensive system capable of conducting rapid and granular analysis of product formulations on a global scale. Once matured, our AI technology is intended to facilitate identification and replication of formulation structures across various products available worldwide, enabling accelerated innovation in new product development. We view this as a foundational step toward building a future-oriented AI infrastructure that allows flexible and scalable use of global product formulation intelligence.
The objective of the F1 Project is to create a new generation of scientifically validated, safe, and effective cosmetic and supplement products that are globally competitive. By combining regenerative science with AI-powered innovation, the Company aims to deliver differentiated value to consumers and establish a strong position in the high-growth, tech-driven wellness segment.
FQ Project — Integrating Quantum Science and Eastern Wisdom for Preventive Healthcare and Personalized Wellness
We are currently developing the FQ Project (short for “Frequency × Quantum”), an initiative intended to pioneer a new approach to preventive healthcare and personalized wellness. The FQ Project integrates traditional Eastern medicine principles such as astrology, the theory of yin-yang and the five elements, and qigong) with emerging scientific disciplines such as quantum mechanics, wave medicine, and artificial intelligence, forming a unique diagnostic and wellness system designed to address health issues at an early stage, prior to the onset of disease. The aim of the FQ Project is to create a hybrid diagnostic and intervention system designed to detect and manage health imbalances at a pre-clinical stage, also known in Eastern medical theory as “未病” (mibyo), and to support health maintenance through individualized, non-invasive interventions.
Foundational Philosophies and Scientific Integration
Astrology and Destiny Analysis (Sanmeigaku)
In this context, astrology refers to an empirical, data-informed diagnostic methodology originating in classical Chinese metaphysics. The system interprets an individual’s life energy (, qi) and constitutional disposition using variables such as the ten heavenly stems, twelve earthly branches, and major and minor stars, calculated based on the individual’s birth data (date, time, and name). This analysis, grounded in Sanmeigaku, enables the inference of systemic strengths, vulnerabilities, and predispositions to specific health imbalances, and is used to customize lifestyle and preventive health guidance.

Yin-Yang and Five Elements Theory
The Yin-Yang Five Elements Theory (陰陽五行論) provides a foundational framework for understanding physiological and emotional states. It categorizes natural phenomena and bodily functions into five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — each associated with specific organs, tissues, and emotional attributes. The interplay of these elements, through generating and restraining cycles, allows for the holistic mapping of internal balance or disharmony. By identifying deviations from an individual’s elemental equilibrium, tailored health interventions can be proposed.
QiGong
Qigong (氣功), a traditional mind-body practice, forms part of the FQ Project’s behavioral protocol. Techniques such as breath regulation, meditative movement, and intentional focus are incorporated to optimize bioenergetic flow and improve self-regulation mechanisms, forming a bridge between classical theory and functional wellness.
Technology-Driven System Components
The FQ Project aims to offer an individualized wellness platform capable of detecting subtle physiological and psychological imbalances and recommending targeted interventions. The envisioned system will combine classical diagnostic frameworks with modern digital tools and algorithms to generate real-time, actionable insights for end users. Specifically, the project is expected to incorporate the following core modalities:

Quantum wave analysis:   Non-invasive health scanning tools that interpret biological signals and energy states through image-based assessments, leveraging quantum mechanics for enhanced precision. This enables early identification of physiological anomalies before clinical symptoms appear;

Mind-body harmonization:   Use of wave frequency devices (such as TimeWaver) to support energetic balance and psychological wellness. Real-time energy state readings are used to calculate the optimal frequency and apply it through wearable or contactless devices;

Traditional wisdom-based diagnostics:   Personalized lifestyle and wellness guidance rooted in Sanmeigaku (destiny analysis based on birth data and numerology) and the Yin-Yang Five Elements Theory, offering individualized dietary, behavioral, and supplement recommendations;

Holistic practices:   Supportive services such as Qigong, guided meditation, and breathing techniques intended to promote internal equilibrium;

AI-powered comparative analytics:   Algorithms trained to compare user characteristics against a proprietary dataset of historical figures and cultural archetypes. The algorithms generate deep self-insight, behavioral predictions, and comparative diagnostics that support both personal growth and preventive care.
We believe that by integrating modern computational science with proven holistic methodologies, the FQ Project has the potential to provide differentiated value to individuals seeking proactive management of their physical and mental wellbeing.
Overview of Products Under Development
As part of the FQ Project, we are currently advancing the development of three core products that collectively support a preventive and personalized approach to wellness by integrating classical Eastern diagnostics, quantum principles, and artificial intelligence technologies:

FQ Scouter Application:   An application designed to provide users with real-time assessments of their energetic health status and potential risk indicators, based on a combination of bioinformatic and metaphysical data points. The system analyzes vibrational signatures, energy flow patterns, and astrological birth data — including birth date, name, and character stroke count — to interpret a user’s current physiological and psychological condition. The app’s algorithm used in this application calculates the Chinese zodiac sign, the Ten Major Stars, and the Twelve Minor Stars based on the date of birth, and derives the balance of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements from the individual’s
 
168

 
name and stroke count. These data points are processed through a proprietary scoring model that visualizes both current energetic imbalances and forecasted health risks, thereby supporting early intervention and personalized health optimization.

Wave Adjustment and Quantum Correction Tool:   The Wave Adjustment and Quantum Correction Tool is a physical device engineered to restore internal equilibrium by delivering targeted frequency-based interventions tailored to the user’s energetic state. Based on principles from quantum mechanics and wave medicine, the device reads the user’s real-time energy signatures and calculates the optimal correction frequency using proprietary algorithms. It then emits calibrated bioresonant frequencies designed to harmonize the user’s mental, emotional, and physical energy fields, thereby stimulating the body’s natural regenerative capacity and promoting holistic well-being. This non-invasive approach is intended for regular, at-home use and is anticipated to be integrated with the FQ Scouter App for seamless diagnostics and feedback loops.

AI-Based Personalized Prescription System:   This is a software-based system that leverages AI and deep learning to generate personalized supplement protocols based on a user’s energetic and constitutional profile. The system extracts input variables from astrological analysis, Yin-Yang constitution typing, and Five Elements categorization, which are derived from a user’s birth date, name, and other relevant inputs. The proprietary algorithm cross-references these inputs against a formulary database of nutrients, herbal ingredients, and functional compounds, and computes the optimal combination to enhance energy alignment, immunity, and vitality. The result is a tailored prescription of supplements or health-supporting products, which may be fulfilled via Value Village or third-party wellness partners, subject to regulatory approval and product availability in each jurisdiction.
FQ Project Development Progress
The development of the FQ Project is currently underway, with key milestones including the finalization of proprietary algorithms, completion of a user interface platform, and establishment of a secure data infrastructure. We plan to fund this initiative through a combination of internal capital allocation and strategic collaborations with technology partners, wellness practitioners, and academic researchers.

Our Online Platform
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly transformed consumer purchasing behavior, accelerating the adoption of online shopping compared to the pre-pandemic era. With lockdowns and movement restrictions in place, e-commerce experienced a surge in activity as consumers turned to digital platforms for convenience and comfort. In response, e-commerce platforms expanded their product offerings and enhanced customer service.
Shoppers now benefit from the ability to compare prices across similar beauty products, read user reviews and ratings, engage with social media influencers, receive instant assistance through chatbots, and choose from multiple delivery and payment options. Many platforms also offer free returns with no additional shipping charges. In Japan, subscription-based models — where consumers receive discounts or bonus products by subscribing for a year — have gained popularity, particularly among beauty and health supplement brands. These enhancements have elevated the online shopping experience, making it a compelling alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar retail. With increasing digital connectivity, e-commerce provides beauty and health food brands with the opportunity to engage a wider, global audience more effectively.
To enhance our market reach and strengthen consumer engagement, we have developed Value Village (valuevillage.jp), our e-commerce and brand incubation platform. Value Village was first conceptualized internally in the first quarter of 2022, with prototype development completed by the end of that year. Full-scale operations began in the second quarter of 2023. Value Village operates both as a consumer-facing digital storefront and brand incubation engine, enabling rapid product testing, feedback collection, and market

deployment. It is designed to facilitate data-driven iteration of wellness and personal care products and to serve as a community-driven platform for emerging brand development.
The name and concept of Value Village are inspired by our vision to build an integrated online community platform that combines elements of commerce, culture, and innovation. While the platform functions primarily as an e-commerce and brand incubation channel, its broader concept is modeled on the idea of a “virtual prefecture” — a digital space designed to simulate aspects of regional development such as collaboration, education, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle enhancement. Through Value Village, we aim to cultivate a digital environment where consumers, brands, and creators interact in ways that foster innovation, local engagement, and product discovery. Value Village is more than just a marketplace — it is a dynamic, community-driven ecosystem designed to connect people, products, and innovations that inspire and enhance lives. Rooted in the philosophy that thriving communities produce passionate individuals and groundbreaking innovations, Value Village fosters an environment where entrepreneurs, brands, and consumers collaborate to create meaningful impact.
Value Village currently features a curated selection of regenerative skincare, cosmetics and personal care products under our own proprietary brand, as well as exclusive co-developed offerings in collaboration with influencers and celebrity partners. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the principal brands listed on the platform include, but not limited to, Genrêver, VIVEA, manorol, Lumilie, ShaShiShu, and Ashiria.
Value Village currently contributes into the group’s revenue through a profit-margin-based model, focusing on online retail sales of skincare products offered under both proprietary or third-party brands. We have entered into agreements with third-party brands featured on Value Village, which grant us exclusive digital sales rights in Japan and the ASEAN region. Under these agreements, we receive a commission ranging from 25% to 45% of net sales revenue, based on a tiered pricing model. In addition to sales facilitation, we provide value-added services such as product photography, content editing, and logistics support. All brand partners are required to adhere to our quality assurance standards, including compliance with applicable ingredient labeling, packaging, and quality control regulations.
Looking ahead, we plan to gradually expand the scope of Value Village to include health supplements, lifestyle-enhancing products and digital advertising opportunities. Our objective is to position Value Village as a holistic beauty and wellness platform offering consumers access to innovative, science-backed and personalized product solutions. While the Value Village platform features digital advertising spaces, such as banner placements labelled, these placements are currently not monetized and do not contribute to revenue. The Company may, in the future, consider monetization strategies for these spaces, which could include paid advertising or sponsored content arrangements, subject to applicable regulations and commercial viability.
In addition to its commercial activities, Value Village supports the Company’s broader strategic objectives through initiatives under its Value Athlete program. The Value Athlete initiative is focused on promoting societal engagement, particularly in sports and wellness, and serves as a mechanism to drive brand awareness and user acquisition. Although the Value Athlete program is not currently a direct revenue source, it is instrumental in expanding the Company’s digital footprint, increasing user membership and engagement across ISB’s platforms. These outcomes may yield long-term revenue opportunities through enhanced user retention, cross-platform integration, and potential monetization of platform participation in the future.
Value Village fosters active community engagement, encouraging users to participate through reviews, user-generated content and personalized recommendations. Additionally, the platform provides rich educational content, such as expert articles, tutorials, and industry insights, empowering consumers with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their wellness and beauty routines.

Revenue and Growth Strategy
Our business is strategically structured to maximize scalability and profitability through multiple synergistic revenue streams: (i) OEM/ODM manufacturing contracts, (ii) influencer brand partnerships, (iii) direct-to-consumer sales, and (iv) franchising. Each stream is designed to complement the others, creating a vertically integrated ecosystem that allows us to leverage our proprietary technologies, control brand identity, and optimize profit margins.
1.   OEM/ODM Manufacturing Contracts
We engage in long-term OEM and ODM agreements with various skincare brand partners, such as Brosky and bebecosmetique. These agreements provide for custom formulation and manufacturing services, generating recurring revenue through supply commitments. A significant portion of this income is volume-based, meaning our revenue grows in tandem with our clients’ sales expansion. As brand partners scale their market presence, we benefit from increased production orders, resulting in proportional revenue growth.
Our ability to formulate and manufacture premium products, particularly those based on stem cell technologies, enables us to command higher pricing relative to standard OEM competitors. The incorporation of proprietary, science-backed ingredients allows us to deliver enhanced product efficacy, which supports premium positioning and higher gross margins. This combination of recurring revenue and premium pricing strengthens the long-term sustainability and profitability of our OEM/ODM segment.
2.   Influencer Brand Partnerships
We have adopted a differentiated brand partnership strategy that centers on collaboration with high-profile influencers. In contrast to traditional private-label models, where influencers own the brand, we retain full ownership of intellectual property, including trademarks, product formulations, and brand strategy. This structure ensures we maintain end-to-end control over brand quality, identity, and direction, while leveraging influencer reach to accelerate consumer engagement and market adoption.
Influencer partnerships serve as a high-impact marketing vehicle, allowing us to introduce new products with significantly lower customer acquisition costs. Influencers provide immediate access to established and loyal audiences, enabling faster penetration into targeted consumer segments. This model is also highly scalable; by replicating successful product launch frameworks across multiple influencers, we can expand our product portfolio efficiently and cost-effectively.
Moreover, influencer engagement fosters deeper emotional connections between the brand and consumers. This enhances customer loyalty, improves satisfaction, and contributes to high repeat purchase rates, making influencer-driven products a resilient and dependable source of revenue.
3.   DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) Sales
Our in-house brands are also marketed and sold directly to consumers through a diversified digital distribution strategy. This includes dedicated e-commerce platforms, social media storefronts, and leading online marketplaces such as Amazon. Selling directly to consumers enables us to bypass traditional retail intermediaries, thereby improving operational efficiency and capturing higher margins.
Beyond online channels, we have expanded into physical distribution through aesthetic clinic partnership. By integrating our proprietary regenerative cosmetic products into clinical service offerings, we strengthen brand visibility and allow consumers to engage with our products in a professional and results-driven setting. These clinical integrations support product credibility, reinforce customer trust, and drive repeat business.
4.   Franchising
To support expansion without diluting brand integrity, we have implemented a strategic franchise model under the “Genrêver” brand. This model allows selected partners to operate Genrêver-branded clinics while adhering to strict operational and marketing protocols.

Advertising and Marketing Services
We provide comprehensive advertising and marketing support to our franchise clinics. Our marketing strategies include social media promotion, brand awareness campaigns, and targeted advertising to enhance the visibility of the “Genrêver” brand. Our team develops promotional materials, identifies target demographics, and delivers tailored messaging to optimize audience engagement.
Social media has evolved into a global cultural phenomenon with far-reaching societal impact. Today, nearly everyone maintains at least one social media account, using these platforms to communicate, share information, and, increasingly, to influence others. Prominent platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, LINE, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, Weibo, and Little Red Book have become essential tools for businesses — particularly small and medium-sized enterprises — to reach wider audiences without incurring substantial advertising or marketing expenses.
Beyond visibility, social media enables businesses to engage directly with their customer base, gaining valuable insights into consumer preferences, needs, and perceptions. This direct and immediate feedback loop helps companies refine and enhance their products and services in real time. We leverage digital platforms such as Instagram and TikTok to establish direct communication with end-users and foster an engaged community. Additionally, we conduct ongoing assessments of marketing effectiveness, analyzing results to refine strategies and maximize franchisees’ return on investment (ROI).
Training and Support
To maintain consistent service quality and brand reputation, franchisees and their employees undergo comprehensive training programs that cover operational procedures, customer service standards, and regulatory compliance. These training programs are designed to enhance employee competence and overall clinic productivity, ensuring seamless operations. The curriculum includes team-building exercises that strengthen cooperation and communication skills among staff, fostering a collaborative work environment.
In addition, training on clinic hygiene standards is provided to emphasize the importance of maintaining strict hygiene protocols, thereby safeguarding patient health and safety.
Franchisees and their employees also receive training on operational guidelines, equipping them with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions and provide high-quality services. Furthermore, workplace ethics training, including sexual harassment prevention programs, is incorporated into the curriculum to promote a safe and respectful working environment.
Medical Equipment and Supplies.
In addition to operational support, we act as a procurement agent, supplying franchise clinics with raw materials, medical devices, implants, injection materials, consumables, skincare, and beauty products. This ensures that all franchise locations maintain consistency in product quality and comply with industry standards.
Innovation and Advanced Treatment Support
We also support franchise clinics in adopting safe and effective advanced regenerative medicine therapies, including second-category stem cell therapy, both recognized globally for their potential in medical aesthetics and rejuvenation. Our innovation-focused approach includes:

Procuring and integrating the latest regenerative treatment methodologies from reputable international medical institutions and research organizations.

Assisting franchise clinics in safely implementing and maintaining rigorous standards for regenerative treatments, ensuring strict compliance with applicable regulations.

Providing franchise clinics with comprehensive informational resources, educational programs, and ongoing support to ensure staff proficiency and patient confidence when delivering advanced regenerative therapies.
 
179

 
By facilitating access to state-of-the-art treatments and technologies, we empower franchise clinics to enhance patient satisfaction, differentiate themselves competitively, and establish leadership within the regenerative medicine and medical aesthetics industry.
Customer Referral
We facilitate patient referrals to our franchise clinics to drive patient volume and support clinic growth. Leveraging a diverse range of channels — including corporate partnerships, digital marketing platforms, and community outreach initiatives — we attract and qualify prospective patients. Additionally, through our global marketing network and partner relationships, we identify and refer prospective international patients to designated franchise clinic, ensuring seamless coordination for cross-border patient care.
Revenue from Franchising
Our franchising model generates revenue through three primary channels:
Management Service Fees Revenue from the franchising model is primarily generated through management service fees. These includes revenue is derived from provision of business management support to franchisees. The service fee is structured as a percentage of the sales generated by franchise clinics in accordance with the Management Services Agreement.
Product Supply Revenue
We also generate revenue by supplying franchisees with raw materials and our proprietary cosmetic products. This ensures consistency in product quality and brand integrity across all locations. This revenue is recognized either at the point of product delivery or over time as procurement services are rendered.
Licensing of Trademark
Franchisees pay for the rights to use the “Genrêver” brand name, trademarks, logos, and other intellectual property associated with our brand. The licensing fee is determined as a percentage of the franchisee’s sales revenue, as stipulated in the Trademark License Agreement.
Revenues generated from these different revenue streams consist of the following:

Site Development and Expansion
Site Selection Process
The selection of franchisee clinic locations is a key factor in our expansion strategy. Our site selection process involves evaluating potential locations sourced through our network of local real estate brokers. These sites undergo thorough review by our development and senior management teams, including site visits, analysis of key deal terms, and assessments of projected clinic profitability.
Our real estate strategy prioritizes high-traffic areas with diverse demographics and above-average household incomes. In approving locations, we consider factors such as visibility, foot traffic, accessibility, parking availability, and market competition. We also utilize site analytics tools for demographic studies and data collection in both existing and prospective markets, enabling us to refine our market development strategy and tailor services to local demand. Our structured approach and experienced management team allow us to efficiently oversee the establishment of new franchisee clinics in both suburban and urban areas.

As part of our strategic growth plan, we have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated March 24, 2025 (“MoU”) with PT Bluecross Medika Internasional (“PT BMI”) to expand the Genrêver Clinic brand into Bali’s Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Indonesia. This partnership is a pivotal step towards expanding our brand’s presence in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic markets for wellness and medical tourism.
The Bali SEZ, with its attractive business incentives and focus on international trade and investment, provides an ideal environment for launching our Genrêver Clinic franchise. Through this franchise model, we aim to deliver our aesthetic and wellness services to both the local population and international visitors, tapping into the region’s increasing focus on health and beauty.
The MoU with PT BMI will allow us to capitalize on local market knowledge, while maintaining the integrity and high standards of the Genrêver Clinic brand. We anticipate rapid growth and strong brand recognition in Bali, which will serve as a launching pad for further expansion throughout Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
Clinic Design
The design of franchisee clinics is managed by our in-house development team in collaboration with select third-party vendors. Our clinics are designed to create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere while optimizing space for both patients and staff. The layout incorporates modern furnishings and an efficient workflow to enhance the overall patient experience.
The construction of a new franchisee clinic typically takes approximately 3-6 months. We oversee and coordinate the engagement of preferred general contractors on behalf of franchisees throughout the construction process. The franchisees are responsible for funding the build-out costs of their respective locations.

Trade Secrets
Various agreements among contracting member states and legislation in certain countries may provide some level of protection for trade secrets. Remedies available for breaches of such agreements vary, ranging from the destruction of products manufactured using illegally obtained proprietary information to punitive damages, injunctive relief, provisional relief to prevent infringement and preserve evidence, and even criminal sanctions. As our reliance on trade secrets to safeguard our proprietary information, know-how, and technologies is paramount, we are committed to continuously exploring and implementing proactive measures to protect them. This includes entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties and refraining from conducting business in environments where such protection is insufficient.
However, despite our efforts, breaches of these agreements may occur, and we may lack adequate remedies in such instances. Furthermore, there is a risk that our trade secrets could be acquired or independently discovered by competitors. Disputes may also arise regarding the rights to related or resulting know-how and inventions if our contractors, commercial partners, collaborators, employees, or consultants utilize intellectual property owned by others in their work for us. For more details, please refer to the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Instinct Brothers’ Business and Industry.”
We are also committed to maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of our data and trade secrets by ensuring continual physical security for our premises, enhancing the physical and electronic security of our information technology systems, and regularly backing up our information.
Domain Names
We also have ownership of domain names for websites that we use in our business, such as https://instinct-bro.com; https://apjapan.jp; https://hrk-jp.co.jp/; https://instinct-ras.com/; and https://valuevillage.jp; https://genrever.com.
We have not had any material action brought against us by any third parties claiming that we have infringed any of their intellectual property rights, nor have we brought any actions against third parties alleging that such third parties have infringed any of our intellectual property rights. However, from time to time we may be involved in disputes relating to intellectual property rights belonging to or asserted by third parties. For more details, please refer to the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Instinct Brothers’ Business and Industry.”
Employees
As of November 30, 2024, we had 18 employees, 14 on a full-time basis and 4 on a part-time basis. As of November 30, 2023, we had 22 employees, 15 on a full-time basis, 5 on a part-time basis and 2 on a fixed-term basis. Our Company is not currently, and has not in the past, been unionized. As such, neither we nor our franchisee are required to engage in collective bargaining procedures with any unions under Japanese labor laws.

185

 
Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, we are not subjected to nor engaged in any litigation, arbitration, or claim of material importance, and no litigation, arbitration, or claim of material importance is known to us to be pending or threatened by or against us that would have a material adverse effect on our Group’s results of operations or financial condition.
Regulatory Regime
We are subject to a number of Japanese laws and regulations that affect manufacturers, wholesalers, or online sellers of beauty and health products in Japan. These may involve product quality and customer protection, maintenance of websites and e-commerce, labor laws, shipping of goods, environment, advertising, lease agreements, protection of personal information, securing of safety of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and consumption tax.
Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices and Other Therapeutical Products Act
Our business involves the manufacturing and distribution of cosmetic products, including through Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) arrangements. In Japan, the cosmetics industry is strictly regulated under the Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices and Other Therapeutical Products Act (“PMD Act”). The PMD Act governs the safety, quality, and labeling of cosmetics and quasi-drugs, which include products with mild medicinal effects.
To manufacture and market cosmetics in Japan, it is mandatory to obtain specific licenses, including:

Cosmetic Manufacturing License: Required for facilities that manufacture cosmetic products;

Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) License: Necessary for companies selling cosmetic products under their own brands;

Quasi-Drug Manufacturing License: Required for products contain active ingredients that provide therapeutic benefits; and

Quasi-Drug MAH License: Required for marketing quasi-drugs under a specific brand.
Additionally, all manufacturers must comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Quality Practice (GQP), and Good Vigilance Practice (GVP) to ensure consistent product quality and safety.
Before distributing cosmetic products in Japan, manufacturers must notify the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Agency (PMDA). This notification must include detailed information about the product’s ingredients, manufacturing process, safety data, and labeling information. For quasi-drugs, prior approval from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan (MHLW) is mandatory.
The labeling of cosmetic products must adhere to strict guidelines, including displaying the product name, manufacturer or marketer’s information, full ingredient list, usage instructions, and any applicable expiration date. Misleading claims are strictly prohibited, and while quasi-drugs may make limited therapeutic claims, they must be pre-approved by the MHLW.
Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine
The Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine (the “ASRM”) primarily regulates medical procedures using processed cells and tissues. It mandates that healthcare providers and institutions conducting regenerative medicine practices obtain approval based on the risk level of the therapy:

Class I: High-risk procedure (e.g., induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and gene therapies)

Class II: Medium-risk procedures (e.g., cultured cell products)

Class III: Low-risk procedures (e.g., autologous cells without substantial manipulation)
 
186

 
Under the ASRM, any medical practice that involves the use of processed cells or tissues, including stem cell therapies and other advanced regenerative medical treatments, is strictly regulated to protect public health and safety.
As our franchise clinics offer regenerative medicine treatments, including but not limited to stem cell therapy and other advanced medical procedures, our franchise clinic is required to comply with the ASRM. This includes submitting a detailed plan for each regenerative medical treatment to the MHLW through an accredited committee for safety review and evaluation. The clinics must obtain approval and a plan number before providing such treatments to patients.
Moreover, the ASRM mandates continuous monitoring and reporting to the MHLW regarding the safety and efficacy of regenerative treatments, as well as adherence to strict operational standards and protocols. Non-compliance with the ASRM can result in severe penalties, including suspension or revocation of the clinic’s license to operate and offer regenerative treatments.
Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Control Act
Franchisee clinics are required to comply with the Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Control Act (Act No. 303 of December 28, 1950, as amended) of Japan. The purpose of this Act is to provide for the necessary control of poisonous and deleterious substances from the standpoint of health and hygiene and regulates the use of deleterious substances. The aforementioned regulations apply to the franchisee clinics handling of such substances in Japan. A failure by the franchisee clinics to comply with the Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Control Act may harm our franchised brand and directly result in a reduction of the Company’s revenue, since we receive substantial revenue from the franchisee clinics as part of our compensation for management services.
Regulations on Product Quality and Customer Protection
We are subject to laws and regulations, as well as pending legislative and regulatory proposals, regarding product quality and customer protection, which could affect us in jurisdictions in which we sell our products.
In Japan, the Product Liability Act (Act No. 85 of July 1, 1994, as amended) and Consumer Contract Act (Act No. 61 of May 12, 2000, as amended) mainly regulate product quality and customer protection. The Product Liability Act sets forth the liabilities of a manufacturer, processor, or importer for damages caused by defects in a product. A seller who was not involved in the manufacturing, processing, or import of a product could still be liable under this Act if its name was indicated on the product and consumers are led to believe that the seller was the manufacturer, processor, or importer. Liability under this Act can be imposed even if the manufacturer, processor, or importer (and the said seller) was not negligent. The Consumer Contract Act invalidates certain provisions in contracts with consumers, such as exemption of compensation for damages to consumers and restrictions of termination by consumers due to the seller’s breach of contract.
Regulations on Personal Information Protection
We are subject to laws and regulations regarding privacy and protection of user data and personal information, due to our customer data collection operations in connection with our business. The application and interpretation of these and other similar international laws and regulations regarding privacy and protection of user data and personal information is often uncertain, particularly with respect to the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate.
In Japan, the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (the “APPI”) and its related guidelines impose various requirements on businesses, including us, that use databases containing personal information. Under the APPI, we are required to lawfully use personal information we have obtained within the purpose of use we have specified and take appropriate measures to maintain the security of such personal information. We are also restricted from providing personal information to third parties without the consent of such user. The APPI also includes regulations relating to the handling of sensitive personal data and anonymous personal data and the transfer of personal information to foreign countries.
 
187

 
Our franchise clinics collect information from customers through the questionnaire and other methodologies in connection with the provision of medical services. Some of the information we collect through that questionnaire could fall under the category of sensitive personal data under the APPI. In addition, the franchise clinic might gather personal information including diagnosis records, which is understood to typically fall under the sensitive information. Therefore, the franchise clinic is required to obtain consent from the customers prior to the transfer of their information.
When storing personal information, it is necessary to manage it safely so that it will not be leaked or the database breached. For the safe management, the APPI requires the Personal Information Handling Business Operator to establish an information security system. It includes establishment of the fundamental rule of personal information management, appointment of personnel responsible for personal information management, provisions of regular training courses on privacy and security breach, and physical security control. Failure by the franchise clinic to comply with the APPI may harm our franchised brand and directly result in a reduction of the Company’s revenue, since we receive substantial revenue from the franchise clinic as part of our compensation for management services.
Regulations Governing our Franchises
Japan has antitrust laws that protect consumers and regulate how companies operate their businesses. Among the various Japanese antitrust laws, the seminal antitrust law is the Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade (Act No. 54 of 1947, as amended) (the “Antimonopoly Act”). The Antimonopoly Act prohibits certain activities that inappropriately induce or mislead persons into entering into a business relationship with us through our granting of seemingly preferable trade terms and conditions that could create false impressions in relation to other franchisors we compete with.
The Japan Fair Trade Commission (the “JFTC”) enforces the Antimonopoly Act and other Japanese antitrust laws. The JFTC issued the “Guidelines Concerning the Franchise System Under the Antimonopoly Act” on April 24, 2002 (last amended on June 23, 2011) (the “Guidelines”), under which the JFTC suggests that, prior to entering into a franchise relationship, a franchisor should adequately disclose and explain material trade terms to a potential franchisee in order to prevent any misunderstanding of the material trade terms, and to prevent such potential franchisee from being misled or improperly induced into entering into such franchise relationship.
In addition, when a franchisor markets its franchise, in the event such franchisor provides a prospective franchisee with an estimate of the revenue or profit that could possibly be generated upon becoming a franchisee, such estimated revenue or profit must be based on a reasonable method of calculation and established facts, such as the results of an existing franchise operating in a similar environment. The franchisor is required to present to the prospective franchisee such methods and facts.
If the JFTC finds any activities that violate the Antimonopoly Act, including any “deceptive customer inducement”, then the JFTC may order the offending franchisor to cease and desist from engaging in such unlawful activities, delete any applicable unlawful clauses from the franchise contract, or carry out any other measures necessary to eliminate such unlawful activities.
In the event the JFTC suspects any violation of the Antimonopoly Act or alleges that we have misled or wrongly induced any of our franchisees based upon any particular trade terms, we could be exposed to risks, including governmental action against us.
Regulations on Labor Laws
There are various labor-related laws in Japan, including the Labor Standards Act (Act No. 49 of April 7, 1947, as amended), the Industrial Safety and Health Act (Act No. 57 of June 8, 1972, as amended), and the Labor Contracts Act (Act No. 128 of December 5, 2007). The Labor Standards Act regulates, among other things, minimum standards for working conditions, such as working hours, leave periods, and leave days. The Industrial Safety and Health Act requires, among other things, the implementation of measures to secure employee safety and protect the health of workers in the workplace. The Labor Contracts Act regulates, among others, the change of terms of employment contracts and working rules, and dismissal and disciplinary action.
 
188

 
Regulations on Maintenance of Websites and E-commerce
The Act on Special Provisions to the Civil Code Concerning Electronic Consumer Contracts and Electronic Acceptance Notice (Act No. 95 of June 29, 2001, as amended) and the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions (Act No. 57 of June 4, 1976, as amended) regulate sales of goods through e-commerce within Japan. For example, under these acts, the franchise clinic as a seller must explicitly show prices of products, timing and method of payment, timing of delivery, conditions for return of goods, our name and contact information, and name of representative person, among others.
Regulations on Shipping of Goods
Under the Civil Code (Act No. 89 of April 27, 1896, as amended), our shipping of goods is generally subject to the terms and conditions as agreed with our customers. In addition, as disclosed above, we must specify timing of delivery of goods in accordance with the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions regarding our sales through e-commerce.
Regulations on Lease Agreements
Our lease agreements are generally subject to the Civil Code (Act No. 89 of April 27, 1896, as amended) and Act on Land and Building Leases (Act No. 90 of October 4, 1991, as amended). The terms and conditions of our lease agreements are consistent with these laws and are valid and enforceable as provided for in these agreements.
Regulations on Environmental
There are various environmental-related laws in Japan, including the Air Pollution Control Act (Act No. 97 of June 10, 1968, as amended), Water Pollution Prevention Act (Act No. 138 of December 25, 1970, as amended), Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act (Act No. 53 of May 29, 2002, as amended), and Noise Regulation Act (Act No. 98 of June 10, 1968, as amended).

Our actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors.”
Overview
Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc. is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability on March 28, 2025 and Instinct Brothers Co., Ltd is a corporation organized under the laws of Japan on February 21, 2011 and will become a subsidiary of BIOT prior to the Closing. BIOT’s primary objective is to integrate advanced biotechnology, artificial intelligence, quantum medicine, and traditional Eastern wisdom to enhance human health, beauty, and overall well-being. BIOT’s principal activities are research, development, manufacturing and sales of innovative and advanced regenerative stem cell cosmetic and personal care products.
To date, we have generated revenues primarily from OEM/ODM manufacturing and direct-to- consumer (DTC) sales and profit-sharing from the franchising model. However, as we expand our marketing and sales efforts for our products, we expect revenue from product sales to contribute an increasing proportion of our revenues over time. For our fiscal years ended November 30, 2024 and for the current interim period from December 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025 (unaudited), we generated revenues of US$2,760,704 and US$1,091,050, respectively, and incurred net profit after tax of US$74,657 and US$(206,817), respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
The deemed costs of the shares issued by PubCo, which represents the fair value of the shares that BIOT would have had to issue for the ratio of ownership interest in PubCo to be the same as if the Business Combination had taken the legal form of BIOT acquiring shares of Relativity in excess of the net assets of Relativity, will be accounted for as stock-based compensation of in excess of $50 million under IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment.

Revenue
Our consolidated worldwide revenues were US$2,760,704 in 2024, US$3,432,795 in 2023. Sales for the fiscal year ended 2024 decreased by 20% compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to a decline in sales caused by delays in the development schedule for new products in the high-performance skincare line for major customers. Additionally, a decline in sales of existing products was attributed to a restructuring of the product lineup for the company’s own brand, ‘Genrêver’. Starting from 2025, we anticipate a recovery in sales as the development of new products is expected to be completed.
 
191

 
Sales for the current interim period from December 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, decreased by 21% year-on-year on an annualized basis. This decline was primarily due to a decline in sales of high-performance skincare cosmetics for major customers. Additionally, sluggish sales of new product lines under our proprietary brand “Genrêver” contributed negatively. Aiming for sales recovery by the end of the current fiscal period in November 2025, the company will continue efforts such as actively proposing new products to major existing customers and accelerating the pace of acquiring new customers in the Southeast Asian region.

In the Skincare Products division, which accounted for 93.5% of our total revenue in fiscal 2024, sales decreased by 17% year-on-year. The decline was primarily attributable to the performance of the OEM/ODM segment, which represented 84.2% of our total revenue and recorded a 24% decrease compared to the prior year. While sales volume in the OEM/ODM segment was largely unchanged from the previous year, average selling prices declined by 24%. This decrease in pricing was driven by a shift in product mix, as newly launched products were priced lower than our existing offerings. The introduction of these lower-priced products was part of our strategy to expand our customer base and meet broader market demand, but had the short-term effect of reducing average selling prices and overall segment revenue.
In contrast, the Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) segment within the Skincare Products division, which primarily sells our proprietary “Genrêver” brand, recorded revenue growth of 256% in fiscal 2024 compared to the prior fiscal year. The growth was primarily due to an increase in sales volumes, reflecting higher brand awareness, expanded marketing initiatives, and broader online distribution channels.
Our Marketing Services division, which accounted for 5.5% of our total revenue in fiscal 2024, also demonstrated significant growth. The Clinic Services sub-segment, which provides services to franchise clinics, achieved a 1,381% increase in revenue year-on-year. This sharp increase, while from a relatively small base, reflects the success of our efforts to expand clinic partnerships and enhance service offerings. The reason for the significant year-on-year decrease in revenue for the EC Marketing Services division in fiscal year 2024 was the substantial decline in sales from a specific major customer, which accounted for 82% of the division's sales in fiscal year 2023. Sales from this customer decreased by 86% year-on-year in fiscal year 2024.

During six months interim period ended May 31, 2025, the sales of the Skincare Products division, which accounted for 91.1% of our total revenue, decreased by 23% annualized year-on-year basis. The decline was primarily attributable to performance in the OEM/ODM segment, which represented 84.5% of our total revenue and recorded a 22% decrease annualized year-on-year basis. Although the sales volume in the OEM/ODM segment decreased by 30%, average selling prices remained largely unchanged.
The sales of DTC segment within the Skincare Products division, which primarily sells our proprietary “Genrêver” brand, also decreased by 46% annualized year-on-year basis. The sales slump in this segment resulted from a significant overhaul of the main product lineup, which created a transitional period in sales.
Our Marketing Services division, which accounted for 4.1% of our total revenue during the six months interim period ended May 31, 2025, also decreased by 51% annualized year-on-year basis. The Clinic Services sub-segment, which provides services to franchise clinics, remained stable sales. EC Marketing Services division recorded a significant decline in sales due to the closure of its operations in January 2025.
Costs of Revenue
Cost of sales increased by 67% year on year. The main factor contributing to the increase in cost of sales was the disposal of raw materials and other materials required for manufacturing due to a change in the product lineup. In addition, the cost of manufacturing prototypes for new product development also contributed to the increase. During the current fiscal year, we are working to reduce cost of sales by thoroughly managing raw materials and other supplies.
Cost of sales decreased by 42% year-on-year on an annualized basis. Through rigorous inventory management of raw materials and supplies, we successfully controlled cost of sales compared to the previous period. We will continue our efforts to reduce cost of sales in the latter half of this fiscal year.

Other Income
Other Income decreased by 94% year-on-year, primarily due to the absence of certain non-recurring and one-off items in the first half of the previous fiscal year, namely: (1) government IT implementation subsidy income of $41,000; (2) recovery of bad debts amounting to $47,000; and (3) surrender value of an endowment insurance policy totaling $36,000.
Expenses
Sales and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended 2024 decreased by 18% compared to the previous year. We achieved a significant reduction in sales and administrative expenses by setting reduction targets for each expense item and strictly managing them with the aim of reducing expenses as much as possible on a daily basis. In addition, one-time expenses related to the IPO and sports support for child athletes accounted for 10.3% (US$ 212,000) of sales and administrative expenses. The effective tax rate increased from 8% in 2023 to 41% in 2024, mainly due to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities in the fiscal year 2024 tax computation. For the financial year ended 2024, the Group recorded tax expenses of JPY 7,809,875. After adjusting for deferred tax expenses of JPY (2,811,891), the total current tax expenses amounted to JPY 5,939,530. The adjustment for deferred tax mainly relates to temporary differences arising from timing differences in recognition between accounting and tax purposes. Additionally, the Group recorded non-taxable income of JPY 941,546, which reduces the taxable base, contributing to the difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate. These factors resulted in an effective tax rate of 31%, which is consistent with the prior year.
For the financial year ended 2023, tax expenses were JPY 6,904,723, with no deferred tax impact recognized during that year. However, there was a significant amount of non-taxable income amounting to JPY 20,201,757, which substantially reduced the overall tax burden for that year. Despite these differences, the effective tax rate remained at 31%, aligned with the statutory tax rate.
For the six-month interim period from December 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) showed a modest increase of +3% year-over-year on an annualized basis. As in the previous period, SG&A expenses are managed by setting reduction targets for each expense category and enforcing strict control. Additionally, one-time expenses related to the IPO (such as audit fees and legal fees) accounted for 19.6% (USD 208 thousand) of SG&A expenses.
Results of Operations
Profits after tax for the 2024 fiscal year decreased significantly by 86% compared to the previous year. The simultaneous decrease in sales and increase in cost of sales were the main factors contributing to the significant decrease in profits after tax. However, for the current fiscal year, we aim to improve operating profits through a recovery in sales and a reduction in cost of sales.
For the six-month interim period from December 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, the net loss after tax amounted to $118,604. Despite efforts to reduce cost of sales, the decrease in revenue was the primary factor contributing to the net loss. We will continue to make every effort to achieve a recovery in revenue during the latter half of this period.

Critical Accounting Policies
BIOT prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. In doing so, it has to make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, BIOT’s financial condition or operating results and margins would be affected. BIOT bases its estimates on past experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and it evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. BIOT refers to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates, which is discussed further below.

such contract or transaction is disclosed at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon, and such director may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of directors at which any such contract or transaction is considered.

Under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors and of certain board committees. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Pubco Board will review the composition of the board and committees of the Pubco and the independence of each director.
Board Oversight of Risk
Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, one of the key functions of the Pubco Board will be informed oversight of Pubco’s risk management process. The Pubco Board does not anticipate having a standing risk management committee, but rather anticipates administering this oversight function directly through the Pubco Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Pubco Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. For example, the Pubco audit committee will be responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with Pubco’s financial reporting, accounting and auditing matters, and Pubco’s compensation committee will oversee the management of risks associated with Pubco’s compensation policies and programs.
Duties of Directors
Under Cayman Islands law, Pubco directors owe fiduciary duties to the company, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in good faith in what they consider to be in the company’s best interests. Pubco directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Pubco directors also have a duty to exercise the skills they actually possess and such care and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.
In fulfilling the duty of care to the company, Pubco directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association as may be amended from time to time. Pubco has a right to seek damages against any director who breaches a duty owed to us.
Board Committees
Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Pubco Board will establish an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The Pubco Board may establish other committees to facilitate the management of Pubco’s business. The Pubco Board and its committees will set schedules for meeting throughout the year and can also hold special meeting and act by written consent from time to time, as appropriate. The Pubco Board will delegate various responsibilities and authority to its committees as generally described below. The committees will regularly report on their activities and actions to the full Pubco Board. Each member of each committee of the Pubco Board is expected to qualify as an independent director in accordance with the Nasdaq listing. Each committee of the Pubco Board will have a written charter approved by the Pubco Board. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, copies of each charter will be posted on Pubco’s website.

Pubco’s audit committee will be responsible for establishing and overseeing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of any complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, as well as for the confidential and anonymous submissions by Pubco’s employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. In addition, Pubco’s audit committee will have direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm. Pubco’s audit committee will have sole authority to approve the hiring and discharging of Pubco’s independent registered public accounting firm, all audit engagement terms and fees and all permissible non-audit engagements with the independent auditor. Pubco’s audit committee will review and oversee all related person transactions in accordance with Pubco’s policies and procedures.
Compensation Committee
Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the compensation committee of Pubco is expected to consist of Masato Terachi, Say Leong Lim and Sally Lim. The chairperson of the compensation committee is expected to be Sally Lim.

Post-Business Combination Beneficial Ownership Table
The expected beneficial ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination presented in the table below under “Assuming No Redemption” is based upon the assumptions set forth in the unaudited pro forma section herein and assume: (i) that no Public Stockholders exercise their Redemption Rights (no redemptions scenario) and (ii) that none of the investors set forth in the table below has purchased or purchases shares of Relativity Common Stock (pre-Business Combination) or Pubco ordinary share (post-Business Combination).
The expected beneficial ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination presented in the table below under “Assuming Maximum Redemption” is based upon the assumptions set forth in the unaudited pro forma section herein and assume: (i) that the maximum number of Public Shares have been redeemed by Public Stockholders and (ii) that none of the investors set forth in the table below has purchased or purchases of Relativity Common Stock (pre-Business Combination) or Pubco ordinary share (post-Business Combination).
Both scenarios assume that, at the Closing, an estimated 22,500,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares will be issued to the Sellers and Everise Concepts PLT.
Based on the foregoing assumptions, we estimate that there would be 28,816,338 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “no redemption” scenario, and 28,753,850 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “maximum redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in Pubco and the columns under “Assuming No Redemption” and “Assuming Maximum Redemption” in the table that follows will be different.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Relativity
Founder Shares
On May 28, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 3,750,000 shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On December 14, 2021, the Sponsor returned to Relativity, at no cost, an aggregate of 511,250 shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock, which Relativity cancelled, resulting in an aggregate of 3,238,750 shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock outstanding and held by the Sponsor. On December 14, 2021, Relativity issued 355,000 shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock to A.G.P. On January 12, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 176,094 shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock to George Syllantavos, and 28,750 shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock to Anastasios Chrysostomidis. The total number of shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock issued was determined based on the expectation that such shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares upon completion of the IPO (not including the shares underlying the Private Placement Units).
On February 27, 2023, Relativity issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock to the Sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Relativity Class B Common Stock, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock. These shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Relativity Class B Common Stock before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of Redemption Rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an Initial Business Combination as described in the prospectus for the IPO. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock and one share of Relativity Class B Common Stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock to certain members of the Sponsor.
Private Placement Units
On February 15, 2022, the Sponsor purchased 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,537,500. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the IPO except that (a) the Private Placement Units and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the consummation of Relativity’s Initial Business Combination except to permitted transferees, (b) the shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock included in the Private Placement Units and underlying the Relativity Private Warrants will be entitled to registration rights and (c) the Relativity Private Warrants are entitled to registration rights.
Administrative Support
Relativity pays an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of Relativity’s Initial Business Combination or its liquidation, Relativity will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Relativity incurred $30,000 and $90,000 of administrative service fees, respectively, all of which were fully paid. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Relativity incurred and paid $105,000 of administrative service fees. For the period from April 13, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, no administrative service fees were incurred.
Promissory Note
Prior to the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor agreed to loan Relativity up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and were due at the earlier of March 31, 2022 or the closing of the IPO. This loan was repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the estimated $660,000 of offering proceeds that had been allocated to the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions).
Registration Rights
Relativity has entered into the IPO Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Private Placement Units and the shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock and Relativity Private Warrants included therein,

Management will present to the audit committee each proposed related party transaction, including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. Under the policy, Relativity may consummate related party transactions only if Relativity’s audit committee approves or ratifies the transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy.

General.   Immediately prior to and following the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco’s authorized share capital is US$50,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.00001 each. PubCo currently has only one class of issued ordinary shares, which have identical rights in all respects and rank equally with one another. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is one Pubco Ordinary Share issued and outstanding. Holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Except as disclosed otherwise in this proxy statement/prospectus, none of the holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares have different voting rights from the other holders after the completion of the Business Combination. Holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares will not have any conversion, pre-emptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the Pubco Ordinary Shares. All of Pubco’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the ordinary shares are issued in registered form. Pubco may not issue share to bearer. Pubco’s shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and transfer their ordinary shares.
Dividends.   The holders of Pubco’s ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by its Board of Directors subject to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles and the Companies Act. In addition, Pubco’s shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by its directors. Dividends may also be declared and paid out of share premium account or any other fund or account which can be authorized for this purpose in accordance with the Companies Act. No dividend may be declared and paid unless Pubco’s directors determine that, immediately after the payment, Pubco will be able to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business and Pubco has funds lawfully available for such purpose. Holders of Pubco ordinary shares will be entitled to the same amount of dividends, if declared.
Voting Rights.   In respect of all matters subject to a shareholders’ vote, each Pubco ordinary share is entitled to one vote. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by poll and not on a show of hands.
A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders holding not less than one-third of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at general meetings present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, Pubco is not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Pubco’s Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that Pubco may (but are not obliged to) in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting in which case Pubco will specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting will be held at such time and place as may be determined by its directors. We, however, will hold an annual shareholders’ meeting during each fiscal year, as required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be an extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders’ general meetings of Pubco may be called by all of the Class A directors of Pubco or a majority of the directors of Pubco. General meetings
 
216

 
shall also be convened on the written requisition of one or more of the shareholders of Pubco entitled to attend and vote at our general meetings who (together) hold not less than ten percent of the rights to vote at such general meeting in accordance with the notice provisions in the articles, specifying the purpose of the meeting and signed by each of the shareholders making the requisition. If the directors do not convene such meeting within 21 clear days’ from the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders who requested the meeting or any of them may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of 21 clear days in which case reasonable expenses incurred by them as a result of the directors failing to convene a meeting shall be reimbursed by us.
An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting, while a special resolution also requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to Pubco’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Transfer of Ordinary Shares.   Subject to applicable requirements contained in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles and provided that a transfer of ordinary shares complies with applicable rules of Nasdaq, any of Pubco shareholders may transfer all or any of their Pubco Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form prescribed by Nasdaq or any other form approved by the board of directors of Pubco, executed:

where the Pubco Ordinary Shares are fully paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder; and

where the Pubco Ordinary Shares are partly paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder and the transferee.
The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Pubco Ordinary Share until the name of the transferee is entered into our register of members.
Where the Pubco Ordinary Shares in question are not listed on or subject to the rules of Nasdaq, the board of directors of Pubco will decline to register any transfer of any Pubco Ordinary Shares that has not been fully paid up or is subject to a company lien. The board of directors of Pubco may also decline to register any transfer of such Pubco Ordinary Share unless:

the instrument of transfer is lodged with Pubco, accompanied by the certificate for the Pubco Ordinary Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as Pubco’s board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of Pubco Ordinary Shares;

the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

the Pubco Ordinary Share transferred is fully paid and free of any lien in favor of Pubco;

any fee related to the transfer has been paid to Pubco; and

the transfer is not more than four joint holders.
Liquidation
If the Pubco is wound up, the Pubco shareholders may, subject to the articles and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, pass a special resolution allowing the liquidator to do either or both of the following:

to divide in specie among the Pubco shareholders the whole or any part of Pubco’s assets and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Pubco shareholders or different classes of Pubco shareholders; and

to vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees for the benefit of Pubco shareholders and those liable to contribute to the winding up.
 
217

 
The directors of Pubco have the authority to present a petition for Pubco’s winding up to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on Pubco’s behalf without the sanction of a resolution passed at a general meeting.
Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares.   Pubco may issue shares on terms that such Pubco Ordinary Shares are subject to redemption, at Pubco’s option or at the option of the holders thereof, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined, before the issue of such Pubco Ordinary Shares, by a board resolution of Pubco’s directors. Pubco may also repurchase any of its Pubco Ordinary Shares in such manner and on such other terms as agreed between the board of directors and the relevant shareholder. Under the Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of Pubco’s profits, out of its share premium account or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital if Pubco can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding, or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, Pubco may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.
In addition, under the Companies Act no such Pubco Ordinary Shares may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, or (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding, other than shares held as treasury shares. In addition, Pubco’s board of directors may accept the surrender of any fully paid Pubco Ordinary Shares for no consideration.
General Meetings of Shareholders.   Pubco may, but shall not (unless required by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading) be obliged to, hold an annual general meeting in each year at such time and place as the board of directors of Pubco will determine. At least five (5) clear days’ notice shall be given for any general meeting. A majority of all the directors or all of the Class A directors of Pubco may call general meetings. General meetings shall also be convened on the written requisition of one or more of the Pubco shareholders entitled to attend and vote at Pubco’s general meetings who (together) hold not less than ten percent of the rights to vote at such general meeting in accordance with the notice provisions in the articles, specifying the purpose of the meeting and signed by each of the Pubco shareholders making the requisition. If the directors do not convene such meeting within 21 clear days’ from the date of receipt of the written requisition, those Pubco shareholders who requested the meeting or any of them may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of 21 clear days in which case reasonable expenses incurred by them as a result of the directors failing to convene a meeting shall be reimbursed by Pubco. One or more shareholders who together hold not less than one-third of the issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares entitled to attend and vote at such meeting, being individuals present in person or by proxy shall be a quorum.
Variations of Rights of Shares.   If at any time Pubco Ordinary Shares capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied only with consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with the approval of a special resolution passed by at a separate general meeting of the Members holding the issued shares of such class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.
Inspection of Books and Records.   Holders of Pubco ordinary shares will have no general right under the Companies Act to inspect or obtain copies of Pubco’s register of members or Pubco’s corporate records (except for the memorandum and articles of association of Pubco, any special resolutions passed by Pubco and the register of mortgages and charges of Pubco).
Changes in Capital
Pubco may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

increase its share capital by new shares of the amount fixed by that ordinary resolution;
 
218

 

consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of a larger amount than its existing shares;

divide its shares into several classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing shares attach thereto respectively;

sub-divide its shares or any of them into shares of a smaller amount; or

cancel any shares that at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.
Exempted Company
Pubco will be an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:

does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands;

is not required to open its register of members for inspection;

does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

may have a capital divided into shares of no par value;

may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

may register as a limited duration company; and

may register as a segregated portfolio company.
“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on that shareholder’s shares of the company.
Pubco Warrants
Set forth below is also a description of the Pubco Warrants that will be issued and outstanding upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
The following summary is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.
The Pubco Warrants will have the same terms as the Relativity Warrants. Each redeemable Pubco Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Pubco Ordinary Share at a price of US$11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of the completion of an initial business combination and 12 months from the date of Relativity’s IPO. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a Pubco Warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares. Except as set forth below, no Pubco Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pubco Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such Pubco Ordinary Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pubco Warrants is not effective within a specified period from the consummation of our initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Pubco Warrants on a cashless basis
 
219

 
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Pubco Warrants on a cashless basis. The Pubco Warrants will expire five years from the effective date of IPO at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, or earlier upon redemption.
We may call the Pubco Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of US$0.01 per Pubco Warrant:

at any time while the warrants are 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 Pubco Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third Business 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 ordinary shares underlying such warrants.
The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the Pubco Warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a Pubco Warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant.
The redemption criteria for the Pubco Warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the warrant exercise price so that if the share price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares declines as a result of our redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.
If we call the Pubco Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole Pubco Warrants for that number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the Pubco Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” ​(defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for the five trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Whether we will exercise our option to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of our ordinary shares at the time the warrants are called for redemption, our cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive share issuances.
The Pubco Warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval, by written consent or vote, of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding warrants in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders.
The exercise price and number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share capitalizations, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Pubco Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Pubco Ordinary Shares at a price below their respective exercise prices.
The Pubco Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive ordinary shares. After the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the
 
220

 
Pubco Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each Pubco Ordinary Share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.
In addition, if (x) we issue additional Pubco Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than US$9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to our sponsor, initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the Market Value is below US$9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the US$18.00 per share redemption trigger price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price.
Warrant holders may elect to be subject to a restriction on the exercise of their warrants such that an electing warrant holder would not be able to exercise their warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% of Pubco ordinary shares outstanding.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Pubco Warrants. If, upon exercise of Pubco Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a Pubco Ordinary Share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued to the warrant holder.
We have agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This exclusive forum provision shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.
Pubco Public Warrants
Each of the Relativity Public Warrants will be converted into a Pubco Public Warrant.
Each whole Pubco Public Warrant will entitle the registered holder to purchase one pubco ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the warrant agreement governing the Pubco Warrants, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Pubco Ordinary Shares.
The Pubco Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the IPO, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Pubco will not be obligated to deliver any Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Pubco Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to Pubco satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No Pubco Warrant will be exercisable and Pubco will not be obligated to issue Pubco Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a warrant unless Pubco 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. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Pubco Warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will Pubco be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Pubco Warrants, the purchaser of a Relativity Unit containing the Relativity Warrant
 
221

 
from which such exercised Pubco Warrant was converted will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the pubco ordinary share that was converted from the Public Share underlying such unit at the Closing.
Pubco has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the Closing, Pubco will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pubco Warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Pubco Ordinary Shares until the Pubco Warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement governing the Pubco Warrants. If a registration statement covering the Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pubco Warrants is not effective by the 52nd day after the Closing, Pubco Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when Pubco will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Pubco Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Pubco ordinary share is at the time of any exercise of a Pubco Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, Pubco may, at its option, require holders of Pubco Public Warrants who exercise their Pubco Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event Pubco so elects, Pubco will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event Pubco does not so elect, Pubco will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Once the Pubco Warrants become exercisable, Pubco may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the Pubco Private Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Pubco ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before Pubco sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If and when the Pubco Public Warrants become redeemable by Pubco, Pubco may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or Pubco is unable to effect such registration or qualification. Pubco will use its best efforts to register or qualify such Pubco Ordinary Shares under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the Relativity Warrants were offered by Relativity in the IPO.
If Pubco calls Pubco Warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” Pubco’s management will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its public stockholders of issuing the maximum number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pubco Warrants. If Pubco’s management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” ​(defined below) by (y) the fair market value. “Fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the Pubco ordinary share for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If Pubco’s management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner would reduce the number of shares
 
222

 
to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. Pubco believes this feature is an attractive option to Pubco if it does not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after the Business Combination. If Pubco calls its warrants for redemption and its management does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Pubco Private Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.
A holder of a warrant may notify Pubco in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the Pubco Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
The Pubco Warrants will have certain anti-dilution and adjustments rights upon certain events.
The Pubco Warrants are to be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement with Continental, as warrant agent. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which was filed by Relativity as Exhibit 4.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 16, 2022, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Pubco Warrants. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the Pubco Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Pubco Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Pubco Public Warrants.
The Pubco Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Pubco ordinary share and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive Pubco Ordinary Shares. After the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
In addition, if (x) Relativity issues additional shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Business Combination at price of less than $9.20 per share of Relativity Class A Common Stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Relativity Board and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Relativity Common Stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which Relativity consummates the Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
Pubco Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of Pubco Ordinary Shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Pubco Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Pubco Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, Pubco will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued to the warrant holder.
Pubco Private Warrants
The Pubco Private Warrants (including the Pubco ordinary share issuable upon exercise of the Pubco Private Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the
 
223

 
Business Combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to the Relativity officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor or the underwriters). Except as described above, the Pubco Private Warrants will have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Pubco Public Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
Transfer Agent, Warrant Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the Pubco ordinary share and the warrant agent for the Pubco Warrants will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
Listing
We intend to apply to list the Pubco ordinary share and the Pubco Public Warrants to purchase Pubco ordinary share on Nasdaq under the symbols “BIOT” and “BIOTW,” respectively.

Relativity
Pubco
Conversion
Shares of Relativity Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis automatically on the closing of the Business Combination. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the board of directors of Pubco will be authorized, to grant rights over shares or other securities to be issued in one or more classes as they deem necessary or appropriate and determine the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and other rights attaching to such shares or securities, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the powers, preferences, privileges and rights associated with the then issued and outstanding shares, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper.
Structure of Board
The Relativity Board shall be divided into two classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I and Class II. The Relativity Board is authorized to assign members of the Relativity Board already in office to Class I, or Class II. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of Relativity following the effectiveness of Current Charter and the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of Relativity following the effectiveness of Current Charter.
The board of directors of the Pubco shall consist of not less than one person. Unless otherwise fixed by ordinary resolution of the shareholders, the maximum number of directors shall be unlimited.
The Pubco directors shall be divided into two classes: Class A and Class B. An executive director shall be a Class A director and an independent director shall be a Class B director. Any director that is not an independent director but is non-executive shall also be a Class B director. Upon the adoption of the Amended Pubco Articles, the existing directors shall by resolution classify themselves as Class A or Class B as applicable.
Subject always to the applicable law and the rules of the applicable stock exchange, the Class A directors shall hold office until such director resigns, is removed from office, or otherwise vacates the office. There shall be no requirement for any Class A directors to retire or be re-elected at any annual general meeting of the company or upon any specified event. A Class A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.
An appointment of a Class B director may be on terms that the director shall automatically retire from office (unless he has sooner vacated office) at the next or a subsequent annual general meeting or upon any specified event or after any specified period in a written agreement between Pubco and the Class B director, if any; but no such term shall be implied in the absence of express provision. Each

Relativity
Pubco
Class B director whose term of office expires shall be eligible for re-election at a meeting of the shareholders or re-appointment by the board.
Removal of Directors
Directors may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding capital shares of Relativity entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Directors may be removed by way of ordinary resolutions.
Voting
Except as otherwise required by law or this Current Charter (including any Preferred Stock Designation), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Relativity, holders of the Class A Common Stock and holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Current Charter (including any Preferred Stock Designation), holders of shares of any series of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Current Charter (including any amendment to any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock or other series of Common Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, are entitled exclusively, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Current Charter (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the DGCL. A resolution put to the vote of a meeting of shareholders shall be decided on a poll. Subject to any rights or restrictions as to voting attached to any shares, unless any share carries special voting rights, on a poll, every shareholder who is present in person and every person representing a shareholder by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he or the person represented by proxy is the holder. In addition, all shareholders holding shares of a particular class are entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of that class of shares. Votes may be given either personally or by proxy.
Provisions Specific to a Blank Check Company
The Current Charter sets forth various provisions related to its operations as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a Business Combination. Furthermore, Relativity is required to be dissolved and liquidated 24 months following the closing of its initial public offering, unless being extended under certain circumstances. There is no provisions specific to a blank check company.
Amendment of Bylaws
The Relativity Board shall the power and is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws on affirmative vote of the majority of directors. In addition, the Bylaws may Pursuant to the Companies Act, Pubco may at any time and from time to time by special resolution (as defined by the Companies Act) change or amend the Amended Pubco Articles in whole or in part.

Quorum
Stockholders.   The holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock of Relativity issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum is not present, then the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum attends. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders holding not less than one-third of the votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at general meetings present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of Relativity must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders other than with respect to Relativity Class B Common Stock with respect to which action may be taken by written consent. Members of the Pubco will be entitled to take action by written consent in lieu of a formal meeting upon meeting certain notice and document delivery conditions.
Corporate Opportunity Provision
To the extent allowed by law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to Relativity 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 this Current Charter or in the future, and Relativity renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of Relativity will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to Relativity, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of Relativity with respect to a corporate There is no corporate opportunity provision.

Liquidation
Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock and certain provisions thereunder, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Relativity, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of Relativity, the holders of shares of Relativity Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of Relativity available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock (on an as converted basis with respect to the Relativity Class B Common Stock) held by them. If the Pubco is wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the articles and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, pass a special resolution allowing the liquidator to do either or both of the following: (i) to divide in specie among the shareholders the whole or any part of the assets of the Pubco and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders; and (ii) to vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees for the benefit of shareholders and those liable to contribute to the winding up. The directors have the authority to present a petition for our winding up to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on the Pubco’s behalf without the sanction of a resolution passed at a general meeting.
Choice of Forum
Unless Relativity consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Relativity, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of Relativity to Relativity or Relativity’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Relativity, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Current Charter or the Current Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against Relativity, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel except any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not There is no forum selection provision.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the (i) exercise of the Public Shares redemption rights by U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders, (ii) the Business Combination to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Public Shares (excluding any redeemed shares) and Relativity Public Warrants (collectively, the “Relativity securities”), (iii) the ownership and disposition of the Pubco ordinary shares and Pubco Public Warrants received in the Business Combination (the “Pubco securities”), and (iv) Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of the Company Interests for Pubco ordinary shares.
This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (whether final, temporary, or proposed), administrative rulings of the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a holder as a result of the Business Combination or as a result of the ownership and disposition Pubco securities. In addition, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders nor does it take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder, and accordingly, is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal 3.8% Medicare tax imposed on certain net investment income or any aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under any U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax laws. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding such tax consequences in light of their particular circumstances.
No ruling has been requested or will be obtained from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination or any other related matter; thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the U.S. federal income tax treatment described below or that, if challenged, such treatment will be sustained by a court.
This discussion is limited to considerations relevant to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders that hold Relativity securities, and, after the Business Combination, Pubco securities, in each case, as “capital assets” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their individual circumstances, including holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. tax laws, such as, for example:

banks or other financial institutions, underwriters, or insurance companies;

traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting;

real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;

controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies;

tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts;

expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

subchapter S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors in any such entities;

dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

grantor trusts;

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

U.S. persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar;

persons who received shares of Public Shares through the issuance of restricted stock under an equity incentive plan or through a tax-qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;
 
232

 

persons who own (directly or through attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the outstanding shares of Public Shares, or, after the Business Combination, the outstanding Pubco ordinary shares;

persons holding Relativity securities, or, after the Business Combination (including the Merger), Pubco securities, as a position in a “straddle,” as part of a “synthetic security” or “hedge,” as part of a “conversion transaction,” or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction; or

the Sponsor or its affiliates.
If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds Relativity securities, and, after the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco securities received in the Business Combination, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combinationand the subsequent ownership and disposition of Pubco securities received in the Business Combination.
THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION. ALL HOLDERS OF RELATIVITY SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PUBCO SECURITIES AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS UNDER THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
Tax Residence of Pubco for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes
Under current U.S. federal income tax law, a corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Accordingly, under generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, Pubco, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is 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, however, contains rules that may cause a non-U.S. corporation to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These rules are complex and require an analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, and there is limited guidance on 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, pursuant to a plan or series of related transactions, each of the following three conditions are met: (i) the non-U.S. corporation acquires, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation; (ii) after the acquisition, the non-U.S. corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” does not have substantial business activities in the non-U.S. corporation’s country of organization or incorporation relative to the expanded affiliated group’s worldwide activities (as determined under the Treasury Regulations); and (iii) subject to the Third Country Rule discussed below, after the acquisition, the percentage (by vote or value) of the shares of the acquiring non-U.S. corporation held by former shareholders and security holders of the U.S. corporation by reason of holding shares and securities (including rights to acquire shares and securities) of the U.S. corporation (which includes the receipt of the non-U.S. corporation’s shares in the acquisition) (the “Section 7874 Percentage”) is at least 80%. The third requirement is referred to herein as the “Ownership Test.”
The Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7874 include a rule that generally provides that, if (i) there is an acquisition of a U.S. corporation by a non-U.S. corporation in which the Section 7874 Percentage is at least 60% (without the application of the Third Country Rule, as defined below), and (ii) in a related acquisition, such non-U.S. corporation acquires another non-U.S. corporation and the acquiring non-U.S. corporation is not subject to tax as a resident in the foreign country in which the acquired non-U.S. corporation was subject to tax as a resident prior to the acquisitions, then stock of the acquiring non-U.S.
 
233

 
corporation held by former shareholders of the acquired non-U.S. corporation by reason of having held stock in the acquired non-U.S. corporation is excluded in applying the Ownership Test. This rule is referred to herein as the “Third Country Rule.” If applicable, the Third Country Rule increases the Section 7874 Percentage and generally results in the acquiring non-U.S. corporation meeting the Ownership Test. As a result, the application of Section 7874 to the Business Combination may depend on whether the Section 7874 Percentage meets the 60% threshold prior to the application of the Third Country Rule.
Based on the terms of the Business Combination, the rules for determining share ownership and calculating the Section 7874 Percentage under Section 7874 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and certain factual assumptions, immediately after the Business Combination, former Relativity security holders are expected to be treated as holding less than 60% (by both vote and value) of the Pubco ordinary shares by reason of their ownership of Public Shares and other securities. As a result, under current law, regardless of whether the Third Country Rule applies, Pubco is expected to be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, neither Relativity nor Pubco has sought nor will seek any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or any opinion from any tax advisor as to such tax treatment, and the closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon achieving, or receiving a ruling from any tax authority or opinion from any tax advisor in regards to, any particular tax treatment. Further, there can be no assurance that your, Relativity’s or Pubco’s tax advisors, the IRS, or a court will agree with the position that Pubco is not treated as a U.S. corporation pursuant to Section 7874. No representation is being made to you that Pubco will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code. As noted above, the rules under Section 7874 are complex and require an analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, and there is limited guidance as to their application. Further, whether the Ownership Test has been satisfied must be finally determined after the completion of the Business Combination, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances.
The computation of the Section 7874 Percentage is subject to various complex adjustments for which there is limited guidance. For example, for purposes of determining the Section 7874 Percentage, subject to certain exceptions, (i) any “non-ordinary course distributions” ​(within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations) made by the acquired U.S. corporation during the 36 months preceding the acquisition, including certain dividends and share repurchases, (ii) shares of the acquiring non-U.S. corporation’s stock attributable to the foreign acquirer’s passive assets (as determined under applicable rules), and (iii) any shares held by shareholders of the acquiring non-U.S. corporation that were issued for cash in a public offering related to the acquisition or other passive assets, in each case, are disregarded. In addition, changes to the rules in Section 7874 or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or other changes in law, could adversely affect Pubco’s status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position to one of those described above or that a court will not agree with a contrary position of the IRS in the event of litigation.
If Pubco were treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it could be subject to substantial U.S. tax liability, in addition to tax liability in its country of residence, and the gross amount of any dividend payments to its Non-U.S. Holders could be subject to 30% U.S. withholding tax, depending on the application of any income tax treaty that might apply to reduce the 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. However, neither Relativity nor Pubco is representing to you that Pubco will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874.
U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a U.S. Holder. As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Relativity securities, and, after the Business Combination, Pubco securities received in the Business Combination, 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 that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
 
234

 

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercise Redemption Rights
In the event that a U.S. Holder elects to redeem its Public Shares for cash as described in the redemption provisions herein, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as sale or exchange of the Public Shares under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code with respect to the U.S. Holder. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the Public Shares, the U.S. Holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Public Shares surrendered in such redemption transaction. 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 Public Shares redeemed exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible to be taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.
If the redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange of Public Shares, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Relativity’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of 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 the Public Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock. Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation may qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied, subject to the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Code (which could cause a reduction in the tax basis of such corporate U.S. Holder’s Public Shares and increase the amount of gain or decrease the amount of loss recognized by such U.S. Holder in connection with a disposition of its shares). With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations) and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares 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.
Whether a redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Public Shares treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any Public Shares constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning Relativity Public Warrants) relative to all of the shares of Public Shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Public Shares generally will be treated as a sale or exchange of the 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 Relativity 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 are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only Public Shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares of Public Shares 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 the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Public Shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Relativity Public Warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of Relativity’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of the Public Shares must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of
 
235

 
Relativity’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of the Public Shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of the Public Shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and 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 Public Shares. The redemption of the 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 Relativity. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Relativity 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. After the application of those rules regarding corporate distributions, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed common stock will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Public Shares, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Relativity Public Warrants or possibly in other Public Shares constructively owned by it. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, Public Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination
Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Relativity securities
The following discussion, “— Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Relativity securities,” constitutes the opinion of Loeb & Loeb, counsel to Relativity, as to the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Relativity Public Shares, subject to the limitations, exceptions, beliefs, assumptions, and qualifications described in such opinion and otherwise herein.
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of shares of Relativity securities will depend, in part, on whether the Merger qualifies as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, and whether the requirements of Section 367(a) of the Code are satisfied.
Subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, the Business Combination should be treated as an integrated transaction in which the exchange of Relativity securities for Pubco ordinary shares should qualify as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code. However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not successfully challenge this position, and if so, the exchange of Relativity securities for Pubco ordinary shares will be a taxable exchange, the tax consequences of which will be materially different from those described below. The provisions of Section 351(a) 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 Business Combination that are beyond Relativity or Pubco’s control.
Moreover, pursuant to Section 367(a) of the Code, even if the Business Combination qualifies as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code, a U.S. Holder of Relativity securities may be denied nonrecognition treatment. Section 367(a) of the Code and the applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder provide that, where a U.S. person exchanges stock or securities in a U.S. corporation for stock or securities in a non-U.S. (“foreign”) corporation in a transaction that qualifies as a reorganization, the U.S. person is required to recognize any gain, but not loss, realized on such exchange unless certain additional requirements are met. In general, for the Business Combination to meet these additional requirements, certain reporting requirements must be satisfied and (i) no more than 50% of both the total voting power and the total value of the stock of the transferee foreign corporation is received, in the aggregate, by the “U.S. transferors” ​(as defined in the Treasury regulations and computed taking into account direct, indirect and constructive ownership) in the transaction; (ii) no more than 50% of each of the total voting power and the total value of the stock of the transferee foreign corporation is owned, in the aggregate, immediately after the transaction 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 the transferred U.S. corporation; and (iii) the various prongs of the “active trade or business test” as set forth in Treasury regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(3) must be satisfied. There are significant factual and legal uncertainties concerning the determination of whether these requirements will be satisfied in the case of the Business Combination. The rules of Section 367(a) of the Code discussed above are complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisor concerning the application of these rules to the Business Combination under their particular circumstances, including whether the U.S. Holder will be a five-percent transferee shareholder and the possibility of entering into a “gain recognition agreement” under applicable Treasury regulations.
If the Business Combination qualifies as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code and the requirements of Section 367(a) of the Code described above are satisfied, and subject to the discussion above regarding Relativity Public Warrants, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Public Shares in the Business Combination for Pubco ordinary shares generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange. In such case, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Pubco ordinary shares received in the Business Combination by a U.S. Holder should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the Public Shares surrendered in the Business Combination in exchange therefor. The holding period of the Pubco ordinary shares should include the holding period of the Public Shares surrendered in the Business Combination in exchange therefor.
If the Business Combination qualifies as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, a U.S. Holder that owns only Relativity Public Warrants but not Public Shares should recognize gain or loss upon the conversion of those Relativity Public Warrants to Pubco Public Warrants equal to the difference between 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 Relativity Public Warrants. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Pubco Public Warrants received in the 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 Merger should begin on the day after the Merger. The treatment of a U.S. Holder that owns both Public Shares that are exchanged for PubCo Ordinary Shares and Relativity Public Warrants that are converted into Pubco Public Warrants in the Business Combination depends on whether the conversion of Relativity 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 Relativity 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 Public Shares for PubCo Ordinary Shares should be treated as described in the previous paragraph and the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the conversion of Relativity Public Warrants for Pubco Public Warrants should generally be treated as described in this paragraph.
If the conversion of Relativity 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 Public Shares and (ii) its Relativity Public Warrants for a combination of PubCo Ordinary Shares and Pubco Public Warrants received by such U.S. Holder in the Merger. The Pubco Public Warrants received by such U.S. Holder in the Merger would be allocated ratably between the Public Shares and the Relativity 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 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 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 Merger should begin on the day after the 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 Public Shares, or Relativity 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
 
237

 
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 Public Shares described in this proxy statement/prospectus could toll a U.S. Holder’s holding period.
If the Business Combination qualifies as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, and the requirements of Section 367(a) are not satisfied, a U.S. Holder may recognize gain (but not loss) as a result of the Business Combination.
If the Business Combination fails to qualify for tax-deferred treatment for a reason other than the application of Section 367(a) of the Code, the Business Combination will be a fully taxable transaction for U.S. federal tax purposes. In that case, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Relativity securities for the consideration under the Business Combination will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the Pubco ordinary shares received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Relativity securities exchanged. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Pubco ordinary shares received will be the fair market value of those securities on the date the U.S. Holder receives them. The U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco ordinary shares received pursuant to the Business Combination will begin on the day after the date the U.S. Holder receives such Pubco ordinary shares. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Relativity securities exceeds one year at the time of the Business Combination. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, currently are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Relativity securities have suspended the applicable holding period for this purpose. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.
U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them of the exchange Relativity securities for Pubco ordinary shares pursuant to the Business Combination, the qualification of the Business Combination as a tax-free exchange, the potential application of Section 367(a) to the Business Combination, and the consequences of exchanging Relativity Public Warrants.
Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Company Interests for Pubco Ordinary Shares
The following discussion, “— Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Company Interests for Pubco Ordinary Shares,” constitutes the opinion of Hunter Taubman Fischer & Li LLC, counsel to BIOT, as to the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Company Interests, subject to the limitations, exceptions, beliefs, assumptions, and qualifications described in such opinion and otherwise herein. As used in this section entitled “— Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of Company Interests for Pubco Ordinary Shares,” the term “U.S. Holder” means a U.S. Holder of Company Interests.
Intended Tax Treatment of the Business Combination
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend that the Mergers will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code.
The provisions of Section 351(a) 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 Business Combination that are beyond BIOT or Pubco’s control. For example, if more than 20% of the Pubco ordinary shares received in the Mergers were subject to an arrangement or agreement to be sold or disposed of at the time of their issuance in the Business Combination, one of the requirements for Section 351(a) treatment would be violated. However, we do not expect that any of the Pubco ordinary shares issued in the Business Combination will be subject to an arrangement or agreement by its owner to sell or dispose of such shares upon the issuance of those shares in the Business Combination.
In addition, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement intend to treat the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and to adopt the Business Combination
 
238

 
Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Accordingly, in addition to qualifying as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code, the Business Combination should also qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”).
If the Business Combination qualifies as a transaction governed by Section 351(a) of the Code and as a “reorganization” governed by Section 368(a) of the Code, and subject to the discussion below regarding Company Interests and the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Rules,” a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Company Interests in the Business Combination for Pubco ordinary shares generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange. In such case, the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Pubco ordinary shares received in the Business Combination by a U.S. Holder should be equal to the adjusted tax basis of the Company Interests surrendered in the Business Combination in exchange therefor. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco ordinary shares received in the exchange should include the holding period for the Company Interests surrendered in the exchange.
If the Business Combination fails to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, the Business Combination will be a fully taxable transaction for U.S. federal tax purposes. In that case, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Company Interests for Pubco ordinary shares under the Business Combination will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the Pubco ordinary shares received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Company Interests exchanged. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Pubco ordinary shares received will be their fair market value on the date the U.S. Holder receives them. The U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco ordinary shares received pursuant to the Business Combination will begin on the day after the date the U.S. Holder receives such Pubco ordinary shares. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Company Interests exceeds one year at the time of the Business Combination. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, currently are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation.
The completion of the Business Combination is not conditioned on the Business Combination qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment, nor upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the IRS to that effect. No party to the Business Combination Agreement has requested an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination. Accordingly, even if the parties to the Business Combination Agreement conclude that the Business Combination qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge that conclusion or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.
No party to the Business Combination Agreement, nor any of their respective advisors or affiliates, makes any representations or provides any assurances regarding the tax consequences of the Business Combination, including whether the Business Combination qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisors with respect to the qualification of the Business Combination for the Intended Tax Treatment and the tax consequences to them if the Business Combination does not so qualify. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Business Combination qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment.
Application of the Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Rules to the Business Combination
In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which (i) 50% or more of the value of its assets (generally determined on the basis of a weighted quarterly average) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income, or (ii) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, investment gains, net gains from the sales of property that does not give rise to any income and net gains from the sale of commodities (subject to certain exceptions, such as an exception for certain income derived in the active conduct of a trade or business). Cash and cash equivalents are passive assets. The value of goodwill will generally be treated as an active or passive asset based on the nature of the income produced in the activity to which the goodwill is attributable. For purposes of the PFIC rules, a non-U.S. corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation is
 
239

 
treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation.
Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. The proposed final Treasury Regulations are not currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, if the proposed final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code if promulgated will have a retroactive effective date. If finalized in their current form, those proposed Treasury Regulations may require gain recognition (but not loss recognition) to U.S. Holders of Company Interests in connection with the Business Combination if:
(1)   If BIOT or Pubco were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. holder’s holding period for such Company Interests; and
(2)   the U.S. holder had not timely made, effective from the first taxable year of its holding period of Company Interests during which BIOT qualified as a PFIC: (a) a valid election to treat BIOT as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code (a “QEF election”), or (b) a valid “mark-to-market election” under Section 1296 of the Code, with respect to such Company Interests.
It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. Additionally, the treatment of U.S. holders of Company Interests who exchange their Company Interests for Pubco ordinary shares could be materially different from that described above if Pubco is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, U.S. Holders of Company Interests that have not made a timely QEF election or a mark-to-market election, pursuant to the proposed Treasury Regulations, may be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules on the Business Combination to the extent their Company Interests have a fair market value in excess of their tax basis therein. Based upon the Agreement, BIOT represents it is not a PFIC as of the date of the Business Combination.
THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS. ALL U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, AND WHETHER A QEF ELECTION, A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION, AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.
Non-U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a Non-U.S. Holder. For purposes of this discussion, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Relativity securities, Company Interest, and, after the Business Combination, Pubco securities received in the Business Combination, that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including:

a nonresident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States;

a foreign corporation; or

a foreign estate or trust;
but generally does not include an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition. A holder who is such an individual should consult his or her tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale or other disposition of Relativity securities, Company Interest, or Pubco ordinary shares.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights
The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s Public Shares as described in the redemption provisions herein generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Public Shares, as described above.
 
240

 
Any redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any capital gain recognized as a result of the redemption unless one of the exceptions described in “— Non-U.S. Holders — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of Pubco securities” applies.
With respect to any redemption treated as a distribution other than a sale or exchange, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, Relativity will be required to withhold U.S. 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 (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of the Public Shares and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the common stock, which will be treated as described above.
This withholding tax does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder who provides a 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. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).
 
241

 
HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION
Unless Relativity has received contrary instructions, Relativity may send a single copy of this proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if Relativity believes the stockholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce Relativity’s expenses. However, if stockholders prefer to receive multiple sets of Relativity’s disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the stockholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another stockholder and together both of the stockholders would like to receive only a single set of Relativity’s disclosure documents, the stockholders should follow these instructions:
If the shares of Relativity Class A Common Stock are registered in the name of the stockholder, the stockholder should contact Relativity’s offices at Relativity Acquisition Corp., 3753 Howard Hughes Pkwy, Suite 200, Las Vegas, Nevada 89169. If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the stockholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent for Relativity’s securities is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
The Relativity Board is aware of no other matters that may be brought before the Special Meeting.
FUTURE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in Pubco’s proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the stockholders at Pubco’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, assuming consummation of the Business Combination, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and the Amended and Restated Bylaws. Since the 2024 annual meeting would be Pubco’s first annual meeting of stockholders, such proposals must be received by Pubco at its offices following the Business Combination a reasonable time before Pubco begins to print and mail the 2024 annual meeting proxy materials, in order to be considered for inclusion in Pubco’s proxy materials for the 2024 annual meeting.
In addition, if the Business Combination is consummated, the Amended and Restated Bylaws provide notice procedures for stockholders to nominate a person as a director and to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to Pubco following the Business Combination not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Pubco Board may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder proposal not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Relativity Acquisition Corp.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Relativity Acquisition Corp. and its Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by February 15, 2026, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. 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. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Relativity Acquisition Corp. (the “Relativity” or the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2021, 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”). The Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business or industry.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 13, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”), described below, and identifying a target company for 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 generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The sponsor is Relativity Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 10, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). On February 15, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 14,375,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), including the issuance of 1,875,000 units as a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, including 1,875,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, the Company consummated the private placement of 653,750 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one warrant (“Private Placement Warrant”).
Transaction costs amounted to $3,890,326, consisting of $1,437,500 of underwriting commissions, $1,972,398 of the excess of the fair value of Class B common stock issued to underwriters over the share subscription receivable and $480,428 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of the business combination fee held in trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete an initial Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following the closing of the IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment by the underwriters on February 15, 2022, $146,625,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and

will be invested only 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public stockholders.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in the Company’s discretion.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account initially was $10.20 per public share. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the business combination fee the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the initial Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The shares of common stock subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company’s Class A common stock is not a “penny stock” upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company had 12 months from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination, except that the Sponsor had two 3-month extensions available to it for a total of up to 18 months to complete the initial Business Combination (as set out below). On December 21, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) in which the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023, by which is was required to pay $10,000 in the Trust Account. The Sponsor was permitted to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination for up to two times without stockholder approval, each for an additional three months (for a total of up to 24 months to complete a Business Combination (each such three-month period, a “Funded Extension Period”)), so long as the Company deposited an aggregate amount of $1,000 from its working capital into the trust account no later than the 21-month and 24-month

anniversary of its IPO for each such extension that the Company determines to implement. The public stockholders were not entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any Funded Extension Periods. On August 7, 2023, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two Funded Extension Periods. On November 9, 2023, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Company’s current charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023 and November 9, 2023, respectively. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024.
On February 13, 2024, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 (the “Combination Period”). In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $720,000 remained in the Trust Account. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
In connection with the stockholders’ vote at the Meeting on December 21, 2022, 14,221,705 shares were submitted for redemption. In connection with the redemptions of public shares, a total of $133,689 was withdrawn from the Company’s trust account in order to pay taxes prior to the Special Meeting, which amount had later been determined to be withheld in excess and should be returned to the public stockholders. As such, a portion of this rebate was sent to the financial institutions that had submitted share redemptions on behalf of their investor clients ahead of the Special Meeting and the balance to the trust account. The redemption rebate payments total $132,263 ($0.00930008 per redeemed share), with $1,426 returned to the trust account. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $720,000 will remain in the Trust Account. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
On February 13, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Meeting”). At the 2025 Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “2025 Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2025 to February 15, 2026 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s the Board. The Company filed the 2025 Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
In connection with the 2025 Meeting, stockholders holding 753 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $7,530 (approximately $11.96 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company has 3,362,605 Class A common stock outstanding.
As a result of stockholder approval of the 2025 Charter Amendment and the Company’s implementation thereof, an aggregate amount of $1,000 per month, from the Sponsor or its designees as extension contribution shall be deposited in the Trust Account seven calendar days before February 28, 2025.
If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 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 the

Company’s franchise and income 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 the Company’s 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 Sponsor, officers, directors and initial stockholders of the Company have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period; or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination, provided that in no event will Relativity’s Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates vote their shares if such shares were purchased from public stockholders after the business combination was announced.
On January 12, 2023, the Company received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules set forth in (i) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), requiring a minimum of $50 million Market Value of Listed Securities, (ii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B), requiring a minimum 1,100,000 Publicly Held Shares, and (iii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), requiring a minimum of $15 million in Market Value of Publicly Held Shares. In addition, the Letter stated that the Company did not comply with either of the alternative requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Listing Rules 5450(b)(1) or 5450(b)(3), or the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Listing Rule 5550. The Letter also indicated that the Staff had concerns that the Company might no longer comply with the minimum 400 Total Holders requirement of Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) due to the substantial number of stockholder redemptions and low number of shares remaining outstanding. Additionally, the Letter indicated that, while companies are normally afforded compliance periods or the ability to submit a plan of compliance in order to be granted time to regain compliance, the Staff had determined to apply a more stringent criteria as permitted under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. As a result, the Letter indicated that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. The Staff’s determination was based on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 28, 2022, in which the Company disclosed that holders of 14,221,705 shares of Class A common stock exercised their redemption rights in connection with a special meeting of stockholders held on December 21, 2022.
In addition, on January 11, 2023, the Staff determined to halt trading in the Company’s securities (the “Trading Halt”). The Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. A hearing request stays any suspension or delisting of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities continued to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the hearing process concluded and the Panel issued a written decision following the hearing. At this juncture, the Company is unable to provide assurance as to if and when the trading halt will be released.

DECEMBER 31, 2024
On March 2, 2023, Relativity had a hearing before the Panel to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. After the hearing, the Panel requested additional information from Relativity, which was provided on April 12, 2023. On April 20, 2023, the Panel granted Relativity’s request to continue the listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the Panel did not remove the Trading Halt. On June 3, 2024, Nasdaq filed a form 25-NSE removing and delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and Section 12b of the Securities and Exchange Act.
On March 27, 2024, Mr. John Anthony Quelch resigned from the Company. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On July 11, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) providing for a proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) that will result in the Company acquiring 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of 4503309 Nova Scotia Ltd., (to be renamed “Mazaii Corp Ltd.”) (“Mazaii”). The exclusivity period of the LOI expired on September 12, 2024 by which time both parties had chosen to not proceed.
Risks and Uncertainties
Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s business and its ability to complete an initial Business Combination. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Consideration of IR Act Excise Tax
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 stockholders 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, 2022, 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.
On February 13, 2024, the Company’s stockholders redeemed 90,054 public shares of common stock, for a total redemption amount of $1,019,230. The Company evaluated the classification and accounting of the stock redemption under ASC 450, “Contingencies”. ASC 450 states that when a loss contingency exists, the likelihood that the future event(s) will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability can range from probable to remote. A contingent liability must be reviewed at each reporting period to determine appropriate treatment. The Company evaluated the current status of completing an initial business combination as well as variability of its liquidation date as of December 31, 2024 and concluded that it is probable that a contingent liability should be recorded. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $10,192 of excise tax liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed on February 13, 2024.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,674 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,090,343.
The Company will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating the business. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted) at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such working capital loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” the Company has until February 15, 2026 (absent any extensions of such period, pursuant to the terms described above) to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this date. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, unless that time is extended (as provided above, or pursuant to a stockholder vote), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate by February 15, 2026. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.

Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Management determined it should restate its previously reported consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company identified that the presentation of the cash withdrawn from the Trust Account as an investing cash outflow and the cash used to redeem stock as a financing cash inflow was made in error in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024. In accordance with ASC 230-10-45 the correct presentation should reflect cash withdrawn from the Trust Account as an investing cash inflow, as it represents a release of funds previously classified as investing assets and cash used to redeem Class A ordinary shares as a financing cash outflow, as it reflects a return of capital to shareholders and a reduction of the Company’s equity.
The impact of the restatement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is reflected in the following table:

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented 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 SEC.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Relativity Holdings Inc. There has been no intercompany activity since inception.
Emerging Growth Company Status
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 auditor 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 of 1934 (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.
Use of Estimates
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company has determined the more significant accounting estimates included in the consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of derivative financial instruments as described below.
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. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had cash of $1,674 and $7,131, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account
As of December 31, 2024, the Company held $769,267 in cash in its Trust Account. Additionally, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,746,543 in investments within the Trust Account, primarily consisting of money market funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities. Net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units were placed in the Trust Account which 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. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of warrant liability are included in interest income on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature (except for the warrant liabilities — see Note 8).
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. U.S. 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). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:

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.
Derivative Financial Instruments
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 consolidated 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 consolidated balance sheets 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 consolidated balance sheet date.
Net Loss per Common Stock
The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The 15,028,750 shares of Class A common stock from the outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2024 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, basic and diluted net loss per Class A share is the same for the periods presented. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of common stock.
At December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted and basic loss per Class B share is the same for the period.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of common stock.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” ​(“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company’s Class A common stock that was sold as part of the Units in the IPO contains a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classified the 14,375,000 shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The public shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants), and as such, the initial carrying value of public shares is classified as temporary equity.
On December 21, 2022, the Company held the Meeting to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, and to provide for up to two additional three-month extensions beyond August 15, 2023 for the period of time for the Company to consummate an initial Business Combination. In connection with the Meeting, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $146 million (approximately $10.29 per Public Share) was removed from

the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $1.6 million remained in the Trust Account. In March 2023, the Company assessed and determined that an excess amount was withdrawn from the trust account for taxes in connection with the December 2022 redemptions. As such, in March 2023, the Company had a subsequent disbursement to redeeming stockholders in the amount of $132,263.
On February 13, 2024, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $720,000 remained in the Trust Account. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
Following redemptions, the Company has 153,295 Public Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
On February 13, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Meeting”). At the 2025 Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2025 to February 15, 2026 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 17, 2025.
In connection with the extension on February 13, 2025, stockholders holding 753 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $7,530 (approximately $11.96 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $760,000 remained in the Trust Account.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company had cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year did not exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” ​(“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.
In August 2020, 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”), 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 adopted ASU 2020-06 effective as of April 13, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” ​(“ASU 2016-13”). This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 — Initial Public Offering
On February 15, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 14,375,000 Units, including 1,875,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).
Following the closing of the IPO on February 15, 2022, $146,625,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a Trust Account and will be invested only 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.
All of the 14,375,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC Topic 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
Accordingly, at December 31, 2024 and 2023, 63,241 and 153,295 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented at redemption value of $11.74 and $11.45 per share, as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

DECEMBER 31, 2024
The shares of Class A common stock are accounted for in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the consolidated balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, or $6,537,500 in the aggregate, in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one Private Placement Warrant.
The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO.

Founder Shares
In May 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 of deferred offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for 3,750,000 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On December 14, 2021, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 511,250 Founder Shares, which the Company cancelled. On December 14, 2021, an aggregate of 355,000 shares of Class B common stock were issued to A.G.P. (the “Representative”), resulting in an aggregate of 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock

outstanding. On January 12, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 176,094 Founder Shares to George Syllantavos, and 28,750 Founder Shares to Anastasios Chrysostomidis. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 14,375,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option were exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and no Founder Shares were forfeited.
On February 27, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Class A common stock to the Sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Class B common stock, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock. These shares of class A common stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B common stock before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the initial public offering. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B common stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Class A common stock to certain members of the Sponsor. Subsequent to those transfers, the Sponsor holds 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B common stock, as well as 653,750 shares of Class A common stock underlying private placement units, which units were acquired by the Sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
Following the redemptions and the conversion of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, there are currently 153,295 public shares outstanding and a total of 4,400,794 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B Common stock are outstanding, including the 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and the one share of Class B common stock that are beneficially owned by the Sponsor.
The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the shares of 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 90 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On July 2, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2022 or the completion of the IPO. The outstanding balance under the promissory note of $208,563 was paid in full and as a result, the credit facility is no longer available.
On August 10, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note to SVES LLC under which SVES LLC agreed to extend to the Company $300,000 for working capital purposes (“SVES Note”).

loan the Company up to $42,498 in connection with the Company extending the date by which it must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025.
Under the terms of the SVES Note, SVES (or its affiliates or permitted designees) shall deposit $3,541.50 per month (approximately $0.056 per public share that is not redeemed) into the Company’s trust account for each calendar month (commencing on February 15, 2024 and ending on the 15th day of each subsequent month) until February 15, 2025, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $42,498.
On May 15, 2024, the Company and SVES mutually terminated the SVES Business Combination Agreement. As part of the termination the SVES Note was declared null and void. Accordingly, all debt proceeds received under the SVES Note, or $110,129, was recognized as a gain from the extinguishment of this promissory note.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance of $15,600 under the SVES Note.
On July 15, 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note (“Mazaii Note”) with Mazaii Corp Ltd. pursuant to which Mazaii agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000. The Mazaii note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Mazaii note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder. The exclusivity period of the LOI expired on September 12, 2024 by which time both parties had chosen to not proceed. As a result, the Mazaii Note became null and void. Accordingly, all debt proceeds received under the Mazaii Note, or $249,985, was recognized as a gain from the extinguishment of this promissory note.
On January 24, 2025, the Company entered into a promissory note (“Instinct Note”) with Instinct Bio Technical Company Pte Ltd. (“Instinct”) pursuant to which Instinct agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000. The Instinct Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Instinct Note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder. As of the date of the issuance of this Quarterly Report, $175,000 has been funded to the Company.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted) at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such working capital loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, the Private Placement Warrant, and the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement that was signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggyback” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

Business Combination Agreement
On February 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company (ii) Relativity Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Relativity (“Pubco”), (iii) Relativity Purchaser Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger Sub”), (iv) SVES GO, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, SVES LLC, a Florida limited liability company, SVES CP LLC, a Florida limited liability company and SVES Apparel LLC, a Florida limited liability company (collectively, the “Operating Companies” or “SVES”), (v) SVGO LLC, ESGO LLC, SV Apparel LLC, and ES Business Consulting LLC (each a “Seller”), (vi) Timothy J. Fullum and Salomon Murciano, (vii) the Sponsor and (viii) Timothy J. Fullum. SVES is a key intermediary connecting full-price fashion brands with off-price retailers that are able to sell inventory that would otherwise be sold or disposed of by full-price brands at a significant loss. At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), in accordance with the DGCL, (a) the Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Business Combination as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, and (b) each Seller will contribute all of its ownership interest in each Operating Company to Pubco in exchange for aggregate consideration in the amount of $632,000,000, to be paid in the common stock of Pubco valued at $10.00 per share of common stock. At the Closing, each public warrant of the Company will be converted

into one Pubco public warrant and each private warrant of the Company will be converted into one Pubco private warrant, in each case with such Pubco warrant having substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the respective Company warrants, except that in each case they will represent the right to acquire shares of Pubco common stock in lieu of shares of Class A common stock.
On April 19, 2023, the Company, the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative entered into the Second Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Second BCA Amendment”) pursuant to which the parties amended the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, in order (i) to extend the date by which the Seller Representative is required to deliver Audited Company Financials to the Company from April 7, 2023 to May 1, 2023, (ii) to extend the period of time in which the Company may conduct additional due diligence on SVES (the “Due Diligence Period”) from 5:00 p.m. on April 7, 2023 to 5:00 p.m. May 1, 2023 and (iii) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, to permit the Company, subject to receiving any required consent from the holders of Public Warrants, to convert the Public Warrants into Class A common stock in a manner and amount to be specified in the Proxy Statement and approved by the Seller Representative, which Class A common stock would be converted automatically into the right to receive one share of Pubco common stock at the Closing.
On August 11, 2023, the parties entered into a Third Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties amended the Business Combination Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) extend the Due Diligence Period and the date of the required delivery of disclosure schedules to August 31, 2023, (ii) provide for a proposal in the Proxy Statement to approve an amendment to the Company’s current charter to eliminate the requirement that the Company retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the redemption of the Company’s public shares in connection with the Business Combination, and to further amend the closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement such that the Company would not be required to retain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the redemption of public shares in the event such proposal is approved, and (iii) extend the Outside Date to February 15, 2024.
On May 15, 2024, the Company and SVES mutually terminated the SVES Business Combination Agreement. As part of the termination the SVES Promissory Note was declared null and void.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. During the year ended December 31, 2023, there was a transfer of $503,125 from Level 2 to Level 3 for the Public Warrants due to the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.
The warrants were initially classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market price of these warrants. On December 31, 2022, the Public Warrants were reclassified to Level 2 as no trading activity took place on the reporting dates. Subsequently, on December 31, 2023, the Public Warrants were reclassified to Level 3 as the Public Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach. The Company used the median warrant trading price of market comparable Special Purpose Acquisition Companies due to the lack of trading activity of the Company’s warrants. The Company chose Special Purpose Acquisition Companies with a similar initial public offering size and warrant coverage for the analysis. This approach requires a significant amount of judgment and is highly susceptible to variability based on the sample of comparable Special Purpose Acquisition Companies used.
The Private Warrants, since issuance, have been valued using a Monte Carlo model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. Inherent in a Monte Carlo options pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on projected volatility of comparable public companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. On December 31, 2023, the Private Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach, consistent with the valuation method applied to the Public Warrants.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Public and Private Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach as described above. The changes in the fair value of the Company’s Warrants have an effect on the Company’s net income, however, the changes in fair value have no effect on the cash flows of the Company.

Note 9 — Warrant Liability
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 15,028,750 warrants outstanding. The Company accounted for the 15,028,750 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (14,375,000 Public Warrants and 653,750 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability is adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of this offering and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the warrant expiration date, which is five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying the Company’s obligations described below 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. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 52nd day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

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, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Class A Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 4,247,499 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, respectively, excluding 63,241 and 153,295 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
Class B Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was 1 share of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2022, there were 468,750 Class B shares that were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full so that the Founder Shares would represent, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any public shares in the IPO). As of February 15, 2022, the over-allotment option was fully exercised and such shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
On February 27, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the Sponsor, A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Conversion”). The 3,593,749 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the shares of Class B Common Stock before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination, as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering. Following the Conversion, there are 4,400,794 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and one share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.
The remaining share of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock 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 excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the IPO (not including the shares of Class A common stock issuable to the Representative) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). The Company cannot determine at this time whether a majority of the holders of the Class B common stock at the time of any future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i) closing conditions which are part of the agreement for the initial Business Combination; (ii) negotiation with Class A stockholders on structuring an initial Business Combination; or (iii) negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B common stock. If such adjustment is not waived, the issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of the Class B common stock but would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of the Class A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of the Company’s

common stock. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time. The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock issues in a financing transaction in connection with the initial Business Combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be “deemed issued” for purposes of the conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has no U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers, which do not expire, and no state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income.
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. 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 interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the change in the valuation allowance was $140,359 and $432,190, respectively.

The Company has identified the United States as its only major tax jurisdiction. The Company may be subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities. 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.
Note 12 — Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the statements of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net loss and total assets, which include the following:

General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews these costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative costs, as reported on the statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other segment items included in net income are reported on the statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
Note 13 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the consolidated balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based on this review, besides the event below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
Resignation of a Director
On January 31, 2025, Mr. Francis Knuettel II, resigned as a Board member and as a member of our Audit Committee. Mr. Knuettel II had no disagreements with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Appointment of Directors
On February 1, 2025 the Company appointed David Kane as a Director and Chair of the Audit Committee, and Jessica Assaf as a Director and Chair of the Compensation Committee.
2025 Charter Amendment Shareholder Meeting
On February 13, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Meeting”). At the 2025 Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2025 to February 15, 2026 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 17, 2025.
In connection with the extension on February 13, 2025, stockholders holding 753 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $9,266 (approximately $12.31 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

RELATIVITY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Relativity Acquisition Corp. (the “Relativity” or the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2021, 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”). The Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business or industry.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 13, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”), described below, and identifying a target company for 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 generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The sponsor is Relativity Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 10, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). On February 15, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 14,375,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), including the issuance of 1,875,000 units as a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, including 1,875,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, the Company consummated the private placement of 653,750 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one warrant (“Private Placement Warrant”).
Transaction costs amounted to $3,890,326, consisting of $1,437,500 of underwriting commissions, $1,972,398 of the excess of the fair value of Class B common stock issued to underwriters over the share subscription receivable and $480,428 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of the business combination fee held in trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete an initial Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following the closing of the IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment by the underwriters on February 15, 2022, $146,625,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and
 
F-37

 
will be invested only 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public stockholders.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in the Company’s discretion.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account initially was $10.20 per public share. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the business combination fee the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the initial Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The shares of common stock subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company’s Class A common stock is not a “penny stock” upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company had 12 months from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination, except that the Sponsor had two 3-month extensions available to it for a total of up to 18 months to complete the initial Business Combination (as set out below). On December 21, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) in which the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023, by which is was required to pay $10,000 in the Trust Account. The Sponsor was permitted to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination for up to two times without stockholder approval, each for an additional three months (for a total of up to 24 months to complete a Business Combination (each such three-month period, a “Funded Extension Period”)), so long as the Company deposited an aggregate amount of $1,000 from its working capital into the Trust Account no later than the 21-month and 24-month anniversary of its IPO for each such extension that the Company determines to implement. The public stockholders were not entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any Funded Extension Periods. On August 7, 2023, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two
 
F-38

 
Funded Extension Periods. On November 9, 2023, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Company’s current charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023 and November 9, 2023, respectively. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024.
On February 13, 2024, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 (the “Combination Period”). In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $720,000 remained in the Trust Account. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
In connection with the stockholders’ vote at the Meeting on December 21, 2022, 14,221,705 shares were submitted for redemption. In connection with the redemptions of public shares, a total of $133,689 was withdrawn from the Company’s Trust Account in order to pay taxes prior to the Special Meeting, which amount had later been determined to be withheld in excess and should be returned to the public stockholders. As such, a portion of this rebate was sent to the financial institutions that had submitted share redemptions on behalf of their investor clients ahead of the Special Meeting and the balance to the Trust Account. The redemption rebate payments total $132,263 ($0.00930008 per redeemed share), with $1,426 returned to the Trust Account. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $720,000 will remain in the Trust Account. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
On February 13, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Meeting”). At the 2025 Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “2025 Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2025 to February 15, 2026 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s the Board. The Company filed the 2025 Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
In connection with the 2025 Meeting, stockholders holding 753 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $9,266 (approximately $12.31 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company has 62,488 Class A common stock outstanding.
As a result of stockholder approval of the 2025 Charter Amendment and the Company’s implementation thereof, an aggregate amount of $1,000 per month, from the Sponsor or its designees as extension contribution shall be deposited in the Trust Account seven calendar days before February 28, 2025.
If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 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 the Company’s franchise and income 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 the Company’s 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 Sponsor, officers, directors and initial stockholders of the Company have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period; or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
On January 12, 2023, the Company received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules set forth in (i) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), requiring a minimum of $50 million Market Value of Listed Securities, (ii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B), requiring a minimum 1,100,000 Publicly Held Shares, and (iii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), requiring a minimum of $15 million in Market Value of Publicly Held Shares. In addition, the Letter stated that the Company did not comply with either of the alternative requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Listing Rules 5450(b)(1) or 5450(b)(3), or the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Listing Rule 5550. The Letter also indicated that the Staff had concerns that the Company might no longer comply with the minimum 400 Total Holders requirement of Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) due to the substantial number of stockholder redemptions and low number of shares remaining outstanding. Additionally, the Letter indicated that, while companies are normally afforded compliance periods or the ability to submit a plan of compliance in order to be granted time to regain compliance, the Staff had determined to apply a more stringent criteria as permitted under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. As a result, the Letter indicated that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. The Staff’s determination was based on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 28, 2022, in which the Company disclosed that holders of 14,221,705 shares of Class A common stock exercised their redemption rights in connection with a special meeting of stockholders held on December 21, 2022.
In addition, on January 11, 2023, the Staff determined to halt trading in the Company’s securities (the “Trading Halt”). The Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. A hearing request stays any suspension or delisting of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities continued to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the hearing process concluded and the Panel issued a written decision following the hearing. At this juncture, the Company is unable to provide assurance as to if and when the trading halt will be released.
On March 2, 2023, Relativity had a hearing before the Panel to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. After the hearing, the Panel requested additional information from Relativity, which was provided on April 12, 2023. On April 20, 2023, the Panel granted Relativity’s request to continue the listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the Panel did not remove the Trading Halt. On June 3, 2024, Nasdaq filed a form 25-NSE removing and delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and Section 12b of the Securities and Exchange Act.
On March 27, 2024, Mr. John Anthony Quelch resigned from the Company. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On July 11, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) providing for a proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) that will result in the Company acquiring 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of 4503309 Nova Scotia Ltd. (to be renamed
 
F-40

 
“Mazaii Corp Ltd.”) (“Mazaii”). The exclusivity period of the LOI expired on September 12, 2024 by which time both parties had chosen to not proceed.
On January 31, 2025, Mr. Francis Knuettel II, resigned as a Board member and as a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Knuettel II had no disagreements with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On February 1, 2025, the Company appointed David Kane as a Director and Chair of the Audit Committee, and Jessica Assaf as a Director and Chair of the Compensation Committee.
Risks and Uncertainties
Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s business and its ability to complete an initial Business Combination. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Consideration of IR Act Excise Tax
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 stockholders 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, 2022, 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.
On February 13, 2024 and 2025, the Company’s stockholders redeemed 90,054 and 753 public shares of common stock for a total redemption amount of $1,019,230 and $9,266, respectively. The Company evaluated the classification and accounting of the stock redemption under ASC 450, “Contingencies”. ASC 450 states that when a loss contingency exists, the likelihood that the future event(s) will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability can range from probable to remote. A contingent liability must be reviewed at each reporting period to determine appropriate treatment. The Company evaluated the current status of completing an initial business combination as well as variability of its liquidation date as of June 30, 2025 and concluded that it is probable that a contingent liability should be
 
F-41

 
recorded. As of June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $10,285 of excise tax liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed on February 13, 2024 and 2025.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $6,255 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,573,869.
The Company will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating the business. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted) at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such working capital loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” the Company has until February 15, 2026 (absent any extensions of such period, pursuant to the terms described above) to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this date. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, unless that time is extended (as provided above, or pursuant to a stockholder vote), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate by February 15, 2026. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 15, 2025.
 
F-42

 
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Relativity Holdings Inc. There has been no intercompany activity since inception.
Emerging Growth Company Status
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 auditor 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 of 1934 (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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company has determined the more significant accounting estimates included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of derivative financial instruments as described below.
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. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $6,255 and $1,674, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Cash Held in Trust Account
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held $782,875 and $769,267 in cash in its Trust Account, respectively. Net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private
 
F-43

 
Placement Units were placed in the Trust Account which 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. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of warrant liability are included in interest income on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature (except for the warrant liabilities — see Note 8).
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. U.S. 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). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:

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.
Derivative Financial Instruments
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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet date.
Net Loss per Common Stock
The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The 15,028,750 shares of Class A common stock from the outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, basic and diluted net loss per Class A share is the same for the periods presented. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of common stock.
 
F-44

 
At June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted and basic loss per Class B share is the same for the period.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of common stock.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” ​(“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the valuation allowance increased by $38,454 and $87,224, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.68% and 13.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 0.29% and 6.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company’s Class A common stock that was sold as part of the Units in the IPO contains a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classified the 14,375,000 shares subject to redemption outside of permanent deficit as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The public shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants), and as such, the initial carrying value of public shares is classified as temporary equity.
On December 21, 2022, the Company held the Meeting to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, and to provide for up to two additional three-month extensions beyond August 15, 2023 for the period of time for the Company to consummate an initial Business Combination. In connection with the Meeting, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $146 million (approximately $10.29 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $1.6 million remained in the Trust Account. In March 2023, the Company assessed and determined that an excess amount was withdrawn from the Trust Account for taxes in connection with the December 2022 redemptions. As such, in March 2023, the Company had a subsequent disbursement to redeeming stockholders in the amount of $132,263.
On February 13, 2024, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
On February 13, 2025, the Company held the 2025 Meeting. At the 2025 Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2025 to February 15, 2026 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2025, stockholders holding 753 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds
 
F-46

 
in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $9,266 (approximately $12.31 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
Following redemptions, the Company has 62,488 and 63,241 Public Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company had cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year did not exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” ​(“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On February 15, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 14,375,000 Units, including 1,875,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).
Following the closing of the IPO on February 15, 2022, $146,625,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a Trust Account and will be invested only 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.
All of the 14,375,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC Topic 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent deficit.
Accordingly, at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 62,488 and 63,241 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented at redemption value of approximately $11.08 and $10.74 per share, as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
The shares of Class A common stock are accounted for in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest
 
F-47

 
redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, or $6,537,500 in the aggregate, in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one Private Placement Warrant.
The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
In May 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 of deferred offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for 3,750,000 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On December 14, 2021, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 511,250 Founder Shares, which the Company cancelled. On December 14, 2021, an aggregate of 355,000 shares of Class B common stock were issued to A.G.P. (the “Representative”), resulting in an aggregate of 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. On January 12, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 176,094 Founder Shares to George Syllantavos, and 28,750 Founder Shares to Anastasios Chrysostomidis. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 14,375,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option were exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares
 
F-48

 
would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and no Founder Shares were forfeited.
On February 27, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Class A common stock to the Sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Class B common stock, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock. These shares of class A common stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B common stock before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the initial public offering. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B common stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Class A common stock to certain members of the Sponsor. Subsequent to those transfers, the Sponsor holds 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B common stock, as well as 653,750 shares of Class A common stock underlying private placement units, which units were acquired by the Sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
Following the redemptions and the conversion of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, there are currently 153,295 public shares outstanding and a total of 4,400,794 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B Common stock are outstanding, including the 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and the one share of Class B common stock that are beneficially owned by the Sponsor.
The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the shares of 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 90 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On August 10, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note to SVES LLC under which SVES LLC agreed to extend to the Company $300,000 for working capital purposes (“SVES Note”). The SVES Note is non-interest bearing and payable at the closing of the Business Combination. In the event the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not consummated, the SVES Note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the payee.
On February 13, 2024, the Company borrowed $3,541.50 from SVES, which amount was deposited into the Company’s Trust Account on that day in connection with an extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination. The borrowing was made under the terms of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $42,498, pursuant to which SVES agreed to loan the Company up to $42,498 in connection with the Company extending the date by which it must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025.
Under the terms of the SVES Note, SVES (or its affiliates or permitted designees) shall deposit $3,541 per month (approximately $0.056 per public share that is not redeemed) into the Company’s Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on February 15, 2024 and ending on the 15th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that was needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $42,498.
On May 15, 2024, the Company and SVES mutually terminated the SVES Business Combination Agreement. As part of the termination the SVES Note was declared null and void. Accordingly, all debt proceeds received under the SVES Note, or $110,129, were recognized as a gain from the extinguishment of this promissory note.

On July 15, 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note (“Mazaii Note”) with Mazaii Corp Ltd. pursuant to which Mazaii agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000. The Mazaii note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Mazaii note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder. The exclusivity period of the LOI expired on September 12, 2024 by which time both parties had chosen to not proceed. As a result, the Mazaii Note became null and void. Accordingly, all debt proceeds received under the Mazaii Note, or $249,985, were recognized as a gain from the extinguishment of this promissory note.
On January 24, 2025, the Company entered into a promissory note (“Instinct Note”) with Instinct Bio Technical Company Pte Ltd. (“Instinct”) pursuant to which Instinct agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000. The Instinct Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Instinct Note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an outstanding balance of $325,000 under the Instinct Note.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted) at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such Working Capital Loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Administrative Service Fee
The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO pursuant to which the Company will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month, for up to 18 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $30,000 and $60,000 of administrative service fees, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $185,000 and $125,000, respectively, recoded as accrued costs and expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Due to Related Party
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $28,771 due to a related party.
Due from Sponsor
Due from Sponsor is a non-interest-bearing advance and is due on demand. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $8,186 and $3,047 is included in due from sponsor in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, the Private Placement Warrant, and the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement that was signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggyback” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriters may not exercise their demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company engaged A.G.P. as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, to introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with the initial Business Combination, and to assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay A.G.P. a fee in cash for such services upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $5,031,250 in the aggregate. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination marketing agreement, no fee will be due if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination. As of June 30, 2025, no expense has been recorded as the Business Combination is not deemed probable.
Business Combination Agreement

Note 7 — Fair Value Measurement
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. 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 in the Mutual Fund.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. There were no transfers during the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
The warrants were initially classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market price of these warrants. On December 31, 2022, the Public Warrants were reclassified to Level 2 as no trading activity took place on the reporting dates. Subsequently, on December 31, 2023, the Public Warrants were reclassified to Level 3 as the Public Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach. The Company used the median warrant trading price of market comparable Special Purpose Acquisition Companies due to the lack of trading activity of the Company’s warrants. The Company chose Special Purpose Acquisition Companies with a similar initial public offering size and warrant coverage for the analysis. This approach requires a significant amount of judgment and is highly susceptible to variability based on the sample of comparable Special Purpose Acquisition Companies used.
The Private Warrants, since issuance, have been valued using a Monte Carlo model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. Inherent in a Monte Carlo options pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on projected volatility of comparable public companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. On December 31, 2023, the Private Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach, consistent with the valuation method applied to the Public Warrants.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Public and Private Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach as described above. The changes in the fair value of the Company’s Warrants have an effect on the Company’s net income, however, the changes in fair value have no effect on the cash flows of the Company.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 measurement dates for Public and Private Warrants:

Note 8 — Warrant Liability
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 15,028,750 warrants outstanding. The Company accounted for the 15,028,750 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (14,375,000 Public Warrants and 653,750 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability is adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of this offering and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the warrant expiration date, which is five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying the Company’s obligations described below 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. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event
 
F-54

 
that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 52nd day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

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, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
Note 9 — Stockholders’ Deficit
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 4,247,499 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, respectively, excluding 62,488 and 63,241 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
Class B Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was 1 share of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2022, there were 468,750 Class B shares that were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the
 
F-55

 
underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full so that the Founder Shares would represent, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any public shares in the IPO). As of February 15, 2022, the over-allotment option was fully exercised and such shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
On February 27, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the Sponsor, A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Conversion”). The 3,593,749 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the shares of Class B Common Stock before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination, as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering. Following the Conversion, there are 4,400,794 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and one share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.
The remaining share of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock 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 excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the IPO (not including the shares of Class A common stock issuable to the Representative) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). The Company cannot determine at this time whether a majority of the holders of the Class B common stock at the time of any future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i) closing conditions which are part of the agreement for the initial Business Combination; (ii) negotiation with Class A stockholders on structuring an initial Business Combination; or (iii) negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B common stock. If such adjustment is not waived, the issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of the Class B common stock but would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of the Class A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of the Company’s common stock. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time. The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock issues in a financing transaction in connection with the initial Business Combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be “deemed issued” for purposes of the conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities.
Note 10 — Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
 
F-56

 
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net loss and total assets, which include the following:

The CODM reviews interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement.
Formation and operating costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews these costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other segment items included in net loss are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
Note 11 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed consolidated balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based on this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

RELATIVITY ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Relativity Acquisition Corp. (the “Relativity” or the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2021, 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”). The Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business or industry.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 13, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”), described below, and identifying a target company for 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 generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The sponsor is Relativity Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 10, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). On February 15, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 14,375,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), including the issuance of 1,875,000 units as a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, including 1,875,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, the Company consummated the private placement of 653,750 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one warrant (“Private Placement Warrant”).
Transaction costs amounted to $3,890,326, consisting of $1,437,500 of underwriting commissions, $1,972,398 of the excess of the fair value of Class B common stock issued to underwriters over the share subscription receivable and $480,428 of other offering costs.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of the business combination fee held in trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete an initial Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Following the closing of the IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment by the underwriters on February 15, 2022, $146,625,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and
 
F-62

 
will be invested only 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public stockholders.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in the Company’s discretion.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account initially was $10.20 per public share. The per-share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the business combination fee the Company will pay to the underwriters. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the initial Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The shares of common stock subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company’s Class A common stock is not a “penny stock” upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company had 12 months from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination, except that the Sponsor had two 3-month extensions available to it for a total of up to 18 months to complete the initial Business Combination (as set out below). On December 21, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) in which the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023, by which it was required to pay $10,000 in the Trust Account. The Sponsor was permitted to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination for up to two times without stockholder approval, each for an additional three months (for a total of up to 24 months to complete a Business Combination (each such three-month period, a “Funded Extension Period”)), so long as the Company deposited an aggregate amount of $1,000 from its working capital into the Trust Account no later than the 21-month and 24-month anniversary of its IPO for each such extension that the Company determines to implement. The public stockholders were not entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any Funded Extension Periods. On August 7, 2023, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from August 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, which is the first of two

Funded Extension Periods. On November 9, 2023, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024. In accordance with the Sponsor’s request and with the Company’s current charter, an aggregate amount of $1,000 from Relativity’s working capital was deposited into the Trust Account on August 3, 2023 and November 9, 2023, respectively. On November 9, 2023, Relativity announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from November 15, 2023 to February 15, 2024.
On February 13, 2024, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025 (the “Combination Period”). In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $720,000 remained in the Trust Account. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
In connection with the stockholders’ vote at the Meeting on December 21, 2022, 14,221,705 shares were submitted for redemption. In connection with the redemptions of public shares, a total of $133,689 was withdrawn from the Company’s Trust Account in order to pay taxes prior to the Special Meeting, which amount had later been determined to be withheld in excess and should be returned to the public stockholders. As such, a portion of this rebate was sent to the financial institutions that had submitted share redemptions on behalf of their investor clients ahead of the Special Meeting and the balance to the Trust Account. The redemption rebate payments total $132,263 ($0.00930008 per redeemed share), with $1,426 returned to the Trust Account. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $720,000 will remain in the Trust Account. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
On February 13, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Meeting”). At the 2025 Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “2025 Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2025 to February 15, 2026 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s the Board. The Company filed the 2025 Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
In connection with the 2025 Meeting, stockholders holding 753 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $9,266 (approximately $12.31 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company has 62,488 Class A common stock outstanding.
As a result of stockholder approval of the 2025 Charter Amendment and the Company’s implementation thereof, an aggregate amount of $1,000 per month, from the Sponsor or its designees as extension contribution shall be deposited in the Trust Account seven calendar days before February 28, 2025.
If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 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 the Company’s franchise and income 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 the Company’s 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 Sponsor, officers, directors and initial stockholders of the Company have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period; or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
On January 12, 2023, the Company received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules set forth in (i) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), requiring a minimum of $50 million Market Value of Listed Securities, (ii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B), requiring a minimum 1,100,000 Publicly Held Shares, and (iii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), requiring a minimum of $15 million in Market Value of Publicly Held Shares. In addition, the Letter stated that the Company did not comply with either of the alternative requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Listing Rules 5450(b)(1) or 5450(b)(3), or the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Listing Rule 5550. The Letter also indicated that the Staff had concerns that the Company might no longer comply with the minimum 400 Total Holders requirement of Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) due to the substantial number of stockholder redemptions and low number of shares remaining outstanding. Additionally, the Letter indicated that, while companies are normally afforded compliance periods or the ability to submit a plan of compliance in order to be granted time to regain compliance, the Staff had determined to apply a more stringent criteria as permitted under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. As a result, the Letter indicated that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. The Staff’s determination was based on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 28, 2022, in which the Company disclosed that holders of 14,221,705 shares of Class A common stock exercised their redemption rights in connection with a special meeting of stockholders held on December 21, 2022.
In addition, on January 11, 2023, the Staff determined to halt trading in the Company’s securities (the “Trading Halt”). The Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. A hearing request stays any suspension or delisting of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities continued to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the hearing process concluded and the Panel issued a written decision following the hearing. At this juncture, the Company is unable to provide assurance as to if and when the trading halt will be released.
On March 2, 2023, Relativity had a hearing before the Panel to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. After the hearing, the Panel requested additional information from Relativity, which was provided on April 12, 2023. On April 20, 2023, the Panel granted Relativity’s request to continue the listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the Panel did not remove the Trading Halt. On June 3, 2024, Nasdaq filed a form 25-NSE removing and delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and Section 12b of the Securities and Exchange Act.
On March 27, 2024, Mr. John Anthony Quelch resigned from the Company. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On July 11, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) providing for a proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) that will result in the Company acquiring 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of 4503309 Nova Scotia Ltd. (to be renamed
 
F-65

 
“Mazaii Corp Ltd.”) (“Mazaii”). The exclusivity period of the LOI expired on September 12, 2024 by which time both parties had chosen to not proceed.
On January 31, 2025, Mr. Francis Knuettel II, resigned as a Board member and as a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Knuettel II had no disagreements with the Company on any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On February 1, 2025, the Company appointed David Kane as a Director and Chair of the Audit Committee, and Jessica Assaf as a Director and Chair of the Compensation Committee.
Risks and Uncertainties
Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s business and its ability to complete an initial Business Combination. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Consideration of IR Act Excise Tax
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 stockholders 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, 2022, 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.
On February 13, 2024 and 2025, the Company’s stockholders redeemed 90,054 and 753 public shares of common stock for a total redemption amount of $1,019,230 and $9,266, respectively. The Company evaluated the classification and accounting of the stock redemption under ASC 450, “Contingencies”. ASC 450 states that when a loss contingency exists, the likelihood that the future event(s) will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability can range from probable to remote. A contingent liability must be reviewed at each reporting period to determine appropriate treatment. The Company evaluated the current status of completing an initial business combination as well as variability of its liquidation date as of September 30, 2025 and concluded that it is probable that a contingent liability should
 
F-66

 
be recorded. As of September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $10,285 of excise tax liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed on February 13, 2024 and 2025.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $21,280 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,863,206.
The Company will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating the business. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted) at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such working capital loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” the Company has until February 15, 2026 (absent any extensions of such period, pursuant to the terms described above) to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this date. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, unless that time is extended (as provided above, or pursuant to a stockholder vote), there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate by February 15, 2026. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 15, 2025.
 
F-67

 
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Relativity Holdings Inc. There has been no intercompany activity since inception.
Emerging Growth Company Status
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 auditor 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 of 1934 (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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company has determined the more significant accounting estimates included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of derivative financial instruments as described below.
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. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $21,280 and $1,674, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Cash Held in Trust Account
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held $786,345 and $769,267 in cash in its Trust Account, respectively. Net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private
 
F-68

 
Placement Units were placed in the Trust Account which 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. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of warrant liability are included in interest income on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature (except for the warrant liabilities — see Note 8).
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. U.S. 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). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:

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.
Derivative Financial Instruments
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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet date.
Net Loss (Income) per Common Stock
The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The 15,028,750 shares of Class A common stock from the outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, basic and diluted net loss per Class A share is the same for the periods presented. The tables below present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of common stock.
At September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted and basic loss per Class B share is the same for the period.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” ​(“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax
 
F-70

 
assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the valuation allowance increased by $60,681 and $147,905, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.08% and 13.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 0.16% and 6.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company’s Class A common stock that was sold as part of the Units in the IPO contains a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classified the 14,375,000 shares subject to redemption outside of permanent deficit as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The public shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants), and as such, the initial carrying value of public shares is classified as temporary equity.
On December 21, 2022, the Company held the Meeting to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from February 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, and to provide for up to two additional three-month extensions beyond August 15, 2023 for the period of time for the Company to consummate an initial Business Combination. In connection with the Meeting, stockholders holding 14,221,705 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $146 million (approximately $10.29 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $1.6 million remained in the Trust Account. In March 2023, the Company assessed and determined that an excess amount was withdrawn from the Trust Account for taxes in connection with the December 2022 redemptions. As such, in March 2023, the Company had a subsequent disbursement to redeeming stockholders in the amount of $132,263.
On February 13, 2024, the Company announced that it had extended the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2024, stockholders holding 90,054 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.02 million (approximately $11.32 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following the redemptions, the Company had 63,241 Public Shares outstanding.
On February 13, 2025, the Company held the 2025 Meeting. At the 2025 Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2025 to February 15, 2026 or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors. In connection with the extension on February 13, 2025, stockholders holding 753 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $9,266 (approximately $12.31 per Public Share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
Following redemptions, the Company has 62,488 and 63,241 Public Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company had cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year did not exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” ​(“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On February 15, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 14,375,000 Units, including 1,875,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).
Following the closing of the IPO on February 15, 2022, $146,625,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a Trust Account and will be invested only 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.
All of the 14,375,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC Topic 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent deficit.
Accordingly, at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 62,488 and 63,241 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented at redemption value of approximately $11.08 and $10.74 per share, as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
The shares of Class A common stock are accounted for in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount

value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 653,750 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, or $6,537,500 in the aggregate, in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one Private Placement Warrant.
The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
In May 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 of deferred offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for 3,750,000 shares of common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On December 14, 2021, the Sponsor returned to the Company, at no cost, an aggregate of 511,250 Founder Shares, which the Company cancelled. On December 14, 2021, an aggregate of 355,000 shares of Class B common stock were issued to A.G.P. (the “Representative”), resulting in an aggregate of 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. On January 12, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 176,094 Founder Shares to George Syllantavos, and 28,750 Founder Shares to Anastasios Chrysostomidis. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of the IPO would be a maximum of 14,375,000 Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option were exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and no Founder Shares were forfeited.
 
F-73

 
On February 27, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of Class A common stock to the Sponsor, A.G.P., George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Class B common stock, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock. These shares of class A common stock are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B common stock before the conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the initial public offering. Following the conversion, the Sponsor was the beneficial owner of 3,033,905 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B common stock. The Sponsor then transferred 533,525 shares of Class A common stock to certain members of the Sponsor. Subsequent to those transfers, the Sponsor holds 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B common stock, as well as 653,750 shares of Class A common stock underlying private placement units, which units were acquired by the Sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
Following the redemptions and the conversion of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, there were 153,295 public shares outstanding and a total of 4,400,794 shares of Class A common stock and one share of Class B Common stock are outstanding, including the 2,500,380 shares of Class A common stock and the one share of Class B common stock that are beneficially owned by the Sponsor.
The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the shares of 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 90 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On August 10, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note to SVES LLC under which SVES LLC agreed to extend to the Company $300,000 for working capital purposes (“SVES Note”). The SVES Note is non-interest bearing and payable at the closing of the Business Combination. In the event the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not consummated, the SVES Note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the payee.
On February 13, 2024, the Company borrowed $3,541.50 from SVES, which amount was deposited into the Company’s Trust Account on that day in connection with an extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination. The borrowing was made under the terms of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $42,498, pursuant to which SVES agreed to loan the Company up to $42,498 in connection with the Company extending the date by which it must consummate its initial business combination from February 15, 2024 to February 15, 2025.
Under the terms of the SVES Note, SVES (or its affiliates or permitted designees) shall deposit $3,541 per month (approximately $0.056 per public share that is not redeemed) into the Company’s Trust Account for each calendar month (commencing on February 15, 2024 and ending on the 15th day of each subsequent month), or portion thereof, that was needed to complete an initial business combination, for up to an aggregate of $42,498.
On May 15, 2024, the Company and SVES mutually terminated the SVES Business Combination Agreement. As part of the termination the SVES Note was declared null and void. Accordingly, all debt proceeds received under the SVES Note, or $110,129, were recognized as a gain from the extinguishment of this promissory note.
On July 15, 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note (“Mazaii Note”) with Mazaii Corp Ltd. pursuant to which Mazaii agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000. The Mazaii note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company
 
F-74

 
consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Mazaii note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder. The exclusivity period of the LOI expired on September 12, 2024 by which time both parties had chosen to not proceed. As a result, the Mazaii Note became null and void. Accordingly, all debt proceeds received under the Mazaii Note, or $249,985, were recognized as a gain from the extinguishment of this promissory note.
On January 24, 2025, the Company entered into a promissory note (“Instinct Note”) with Instinct Bio Technical Company Pte Ltd. (“Instinct”) pursuant to which Instinct agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000. The Instinct Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. In the event a Business Combination Agreement is not consummated, the Instinct Note shall be null and void and the Company shall not have any obligation to the Payee hereunder.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an outstanding balance of $400,000 under the Instinct Note.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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 (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 150,000 units if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted) at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such Working Capital Loans by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Administrative Service Fee
The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO pursuant to which the Company will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month, for up to 18 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000 of administrative service fees, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $215,000 and $125,000, respectively, of accrued administrative service fees recorded within accrued costs and expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Due to Related Party
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $28,771 due to a related party.
Due from Sponsor
Due from Sponsor is a non-interest-bearing advance and is due on demand. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $8,186 and $3,047 is included in due from sponsor in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, the Private Placement Warrant, and the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement that was signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggyback” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriters may not exercise their demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company engaged A.G.P. as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, to introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with the initial Business Combination, and to assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay A.G.P. a fee in cash for such services upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $5,031,250 in the aggregate. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination marketing agreement, no fee will be due if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination. As of September 30, 2025, no expense has been recorded as the Business Combination is not deemed probable.
Business Combination Agreement
On February 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Relativity Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Relativity (“Pubco”), (iii) Relativity Purchaser Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger Sub”), (iv) SVES GO, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, SVES LLC, a Florida limited liability company, SVES CP LLC, a Florida limited liability company and SVES Apparel LLC, a Florida limited liability company (collectively, the “Operating Companies” or “SVES”), (v) SVGO LLC, ESGO LLC, SV Apparel LLC, and ES Business Consulting LLC (each a “Seller”), (vi) Timothy J.

At the Closing, each public warrant of the Company will be converted into one Pubco public warrant and each private warrant of the Company will be converted into one Pubco private warrant, in each case with such Pubco warrant having substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the respective Company warrants, except that in each case they will represent the right to acquire shares of Pubco common stock in lieu of shares of Class A common stock.
On April 19, 2023, the Company, the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative entered into the Second Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Second BCA Amendment”) pursuant to which the parties amended the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, in order (i) to extend the date by which the Seller Representative is required to deliver Audited Company Financials to the Company from April 7, 2023 to May 1, 2023, (ii) to extend the period of time in which the Company may conduct additional due diligence on SVES (the “Due Diligence Period”) from 5:00 p.m. on April 7, 2023 to

Note 7 — Fair Value Measurement
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. 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 in the Mutual Fund.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. There were no transfers during the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The warrants were initially classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market price of these warrants. On December 31, 2022, the Public Warrants were reclassified to Level 2 as no trading activity took place on the reporting dates. Subsequently, on December 31, 2023, the Public Warrants were reclassified to Level 3 as the Public Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach. The Company used the median warrant trading price of market comparable Special Purpose Acquisition Companies due to the lack of trading activity of the Company’s warrants. The Company chose Special Purpose Acquisition Companies with a similar initial public offering size and warrant coverage for the analysis. This approach requires a significant amount of judgment and is highly susceptible to variability based on the sample of comparable Special Purpose Acquisition Companies used.
The Private Warrants, since issuance, have been valued using a Monte Carlo model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. Inherent in a Monte Carlo options pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on projected volatility of comparable public companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. On December 31, 2023, the Private Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach, consistent with the valuation method applied to the Public Warrants.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Public and Private Warrants were valued utilizing the market approach as described above. The changes in the fair value of the Company’s Warrants have an effect on the Company’s net income, however, the changes in fair value have no effect on the cash flows of the Company.

Note 8 — Warrant Liability
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 15,028,750 warrants outstanding. The Company accounted for the 15,028,750 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (14,375,000 Public Warrants and 653,750 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability is adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the
 
F-79

 
initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of this offering and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the warrant expiration date, which is five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying the Company’s obligations described below 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. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 52nd day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

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, recapitalizations and the like)
 
F-80

 
for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
Note 9 — Stockholders’ Deficit
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 4,247,499 shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding, respectively, excluding 62,488 and 63,241 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
Class B Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was 1 share of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2022, there were 468,750 Class B shares that were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full so that the Founder Shares would represent, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any public shares in the IPO). As of February 15, 2022, the over-allotment option was fully exercised and such shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
On February 27, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,593,749 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to the Sponsor, A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, George Syllantavos and Anastasios Chrysostomidis, the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Conversion”). The 3,593,749 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the shares of Class B Common Stock before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination, as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering. Following the Conversion, there are 4,400,794 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and one share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.
The remaining share of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock 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 excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the IPO (not including the shares of Class A common stock issuable to the Representative) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). The Company cannot determine at this time whether a majority of the holders of the Class B common stock at the time of any future issuance would agree to waive such adjustment to the conversion ratio. They may waive such adjustment due to (but not limited to) the following: (i) closing
 
F-81

 
conditions which are part of the agreement for the initial Business Combination; (ii) negotiation with Class A stockholders on structuring an initial Business Combination; or (iii) negotiation with parties providing financing which would trigger the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B common stock. If such adjustment is not waived, the issuance would not reduce the percentage ownership of holders of the Class B common stock but would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of the Class A common stock. If such adjustment is waived, the issuance would reduce the percentage ownership of holders of both classes of the Company’s common stock. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time. The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock issues in a financing transaction in connection with the initial Business Combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. Securities could be “deemed issued” for purposes of the conversion rate adjustment if such shares are issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible securities, warrants or similar securities.
Note 10 — Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net (loss) income and total assets, which include the following:

Interest income on cash and investments held in Trust Account
$ 6,245 $ 8,059 $ 18,564 $ 32,059
The CODM reviews interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Trust Agreement.
Formation and operating costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews these costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
 
F-82

 
All other segment items included in net loss are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
Note 11 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed consolidated balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based on this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Opinion on the Combined Financial Statements
We have audited the combined financial statements of Instinct Brothers Group and its combining entities as disclosed in Note 1 to the combined financial statements, which comprises the combined statements of financial position of Instinct Brothers Group as of 30 November 2024 and 30 November 2023, the combined statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, combined statements of changes in equity and combined statements of cash flows, for the years ended 30 November 2024 and 30 November 2023, and the related notes to the combined financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “combined financial statements”). In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of 30 November 2024 and 30 November 2023, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended 30 November 2024 and 30 November 2023, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined financial statements based on our audits.

(Incorporated in Japan)
Basis for Opinion (Cont’d)
We conducted our audits 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 combined financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group 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 Group’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 combined 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 combined financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Basis of measurement
The combined financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of separate entities, segments or components of a group under common control that do not meet the definition of a ‘legal group’. The combined financial statements comprise the financial statements of the abovenamed companies under common management as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the companies used in the preparation of the combined financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
 
F-92

 
Note 2.   Basis of Presentation (continued)
All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
The combined financial statements are historical financial information and such combined financial statements of the new reporting entity should comprise of all income and expenses of economic activities arising from its business. Income and expenses that are clearly identifiable in all economic activities should be included in the combined financial statements, using a reasonable basis of allocation, considering whether a) the assets and liabilities will be part of the new reporting entity; b) there was any intra-group recharge between the parent and the new reporting entity; and c) the recharges represent amounts actually incurred and the basis of these recharges has been established. The new reporting entity should comply with the requirements of IAS 12 to allocate income tax of separate entities for the preparation of the combined financial statements.
The legal status of the new reporting entity subsequent to the transaction should be taken into consideration when determining allocation of such expenses. The Group can either treats the economic activities as if they were an independent group for tax purposes; or treat the business as a separate tax payer within the Group from which it is being separated; or allocate tax balances on a proportionate basis by applying the overall Group’s tax rate to the income earned by the business. Revenue was included based on specific identification as they relate to customers and revenue type of the merchant retail business.
Functional and presentation currency
These combined financial statements have been presented in United States dollar (“USD” or “US$”) while the Group’s functional currency remain in Japanese Yen (“JPY” or “JP¥”). The combined financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which the combining entities are incorporate and operates. The translations of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts have been made at the following rates:
(i)
¥138 to $1, the approximate rate of exchange at year ended 1 December 2022;
(ii)
¥147 to $1, the approximate rate of exchange at year ended 30 November 2023; and
(iii)
¥150 to $1 the approximate rate of exchange at year ended 30 November 2024.
Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate. All financial information presented in USD have been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise stated.
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information
The Group applies the significant accounting policies set out below, consistently throughout all periods presented in the combined financial statements unless otherwise stated.
(a)
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The policy of recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 3(h).
(i)
Recognition and measurement
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, cost of replacing component parts of the assets, and the present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the assets after their use. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
 
F-93

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss.
(ii)
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
(iii)
Depreciation
Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation is recognised in the profit or loss on straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life.
Except for freehold land, property, plant and equipment are depreciated based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Freehold buildings and renovation 15 to 20 years
Signboard 10 years
Motor vehicles 6 years
Machineries 10 years
Computers and equipment 4 to 5 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in property, plant and equipment.
(b)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired are measured initially at cost. Following initial acquisition, intangible asset is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible asset is tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment. The useful life of intangible asset is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Software is depreciated based on the estimated useful lives of 5 years.
Intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amounts is recognised in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
 
F-94

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
(c)
Financial assets
Debt instruments
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition, and the categories include trade and other receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and cash and bank balances.
(i)
Financial assets at amortised cost
The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
(ii)
Fair value through other comprehensive income
The Group has not designated any financial assets as FVTOCI.
(iii)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Debt instruments that are held for trading as well as those that do not meet the criteria for classification as amortised cost or FVOCI are classified as FVTPL. Movement in fair values and interest income is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all its equity investments at fair value. Equity investments are classified as FVTPL with movements in their fair values recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the changes arise, except for those equity securities which are not held for trading. The Group has elected to recognise changes in fair value of equity securities not held for trading in OCI as these are strategic investments and the Group considers this to be more relevant. Movements in fair values of investments classified as FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Dividends from equity investments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s and Company’s right to receive payments is established.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received for financial instrument is recognised in profit or loss.
(d)
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
 
F-95

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(a)   Offsetting of financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(e)
Leases
(i)
Where the Group is the lessee
At the inception of the contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Reassessment is only required when the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets
The Group recognises a ROU asset and lease liability at the date which the underlying asset is available for use. ROU assets are measured at cost which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and lease incentive received. Any initial direct costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are added to the carrying amount of the ROU assets.
The ROU asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term which is determined on the same basis as property, plant and equipment.
Lease liabilities
The initial measurement of lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the implicit rate in the lease, if the rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group shall use its incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments include the following:

Fixed payment (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivables;

Variable lease payment that are based on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

Amount expected to be payable under residual value guarantees;

The exercise price of a purchase option if is reasonably certain to exercise the option; and

Payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option.
For contract that contains both lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease
 
F-96

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
and non-lease component. Lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Lease liability shall be remeasured when:

There is a change in future lease payments arising from changes in an index or rate;

There is a change in the Group’s assessment of whether it will exercise an extension option; or

There is modification in the scope or the consideration of the lease that was not part of the original term.
Lease liability is remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the ROU asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU asset has been reduced to zero.
Short term and low value leases
The Group has elected to not recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of low value leases, except for sublease arrangements. Lease payments relating to these leases are expensed to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Variable lease payments
Variable lease payments that are not based on an index or a rate are not included as part of the measurement and initial recognition of the lease liability. The Group shall recognise those lease payments in profit or loss in the periods that triggered those lease payments.
(f)
Inventories
Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate allowance has been made for all deteriorated, damaged, obsolete or slow-moving inventories.
Cost of manufactured and trading products is determined on weighted average basis respectively. The cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads based on normal operating capacity and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(g)
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognised an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all debt instruments not held at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (“a 12-month ECL”). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (“a lifetime ECL”).
For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
 
F-97

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
(h)
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation and depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which it is charged to the revaluation surplus.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
(i)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash at bank which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.
(j)
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Other shares are classified as equity and/or liability according to the economic substance of the particular instrument. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided.
(k)
Revenue recognition
(i)
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfied a performance obligation (“PO”) by transferring a promised good or services to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A PO may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied PO.
The Group recognises revenue from the sales of goods and services rendered. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products has transferred, and the payment terms can be identified, and it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled to in exchange of those goods or services, being at the point the customer purchases the goods.
Revenue is recognised based on the price specified in the contract net of the rebates, discounts and taxes. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately at the point the customer purchases the goods.
 
F-98

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
It is the Group’s policy to sell its products to the end customer with a right of return within 14 days. The Group uses its accumulated historical experience to estimate the number of returns using the expected value method. It is highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur given the consistent level of returns over previous years. The validity of this assumption and the estimated amount of returns are reassessed at each reporting date. No contract liability (refund liability) nor the right to the returned goods are recognised for the products expected to be returned as the return rate is assessed to be insignificant, based on accumulated experience of the Group.
(ii)
Other revenue and income
Revenue and income from other sources are recognised as follows:
Rental income
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the tenure of the lease.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.
(l)
Income taxes
Tax expense in profit or loss comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
(m)
Provision
A provision is recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(n)
Contingencies
Where it is not probable that an inflow or an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the asset or the obligation is disclosed as a contingent asset or contingent liability, unless the probability of inflow or outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent assets or contingent liabilities unless the probability of inflow or outflow of economic benefits is remote.
Note 4.   Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with IAS and IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting dates. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
Judgements
The following are the judgements made by management in the process of applying the accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Note 4.   Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options — company as lessee
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset).
The Group includes the renewal period as part of the lease term for leases of land and building with non-cancellable period included as part of the lease term as these are reasonably certain to be exercised because there will be a significant negative effect on operation if a replacement asset is not readily available. Furthermore, the periods covered by termination options are included as part of the lease term only when they are reasonably certain not to be exercised.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period are set out below:
Useful lives/amortisation of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and intangible assets
The Group regularly reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, ROU and intangible assets based on factors such as business plan and strategies, expected level of usage and future technological developments. Future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned above. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, ROU and intangible assets would increase the recorded depreciation and decrease the value of property, plant and equipment, ROU and intangible assets. The carrying amount at the reporting date for property, plant and equipment, ROU and intangible assets are disclosed in Notes 5, 6 and 7 to the financial statements.
Inventories valuation
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The Group estimates the net realisable value of inventories based on an assessment of expected sales prices. Demand levels and pricing competition could change from time to time. If such factors result in an adverse effect on the Group’s products, the Group might be required to reduce the value of its inventories. Details of inventories are disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements.
Discount rate used in leases
Where the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate requires estimation, particularly when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the incremental borrowing rate using observable inputs when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.

Note 10:   Trade receivables
Trade receivables are generally on 30 days term (2023: 30 days). They are recognised at their original invoice amounts which represent their fair values on initial recognition. Other credit terms are approved on a case-by-case basis.
The Group determines that a trade receivable is credit-impaired when the customer is experiencing significant financial difficulty and has defaulted in payments. Unless otherwise demonstrated, the Group generally considers a default to have occurred when the trade receivable is more than 90 days past due. The gross carrying amount of a credit-impaired trade receivable is directly written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. This normally occurs when there is reasonable proof of customer insolvency.
The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses using the simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9. Such lifetime expected credit losses are calculated using a provision matrix based on historical observed default rates (adjusted for forward-looking estimates). The following table details the risk profile of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished among the diversity of customer base.
The average credit loss rates were based on the payment profile of revenue over a period of 12 months and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced during the period. The rates were adjusted to reflect

Note 19.   Related Party Disclosures
Historically, the Group has been managed and operated in the normal course of business by various entities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated to the Group and are reflected as expenses in the combined statements of profit and loss and comprehensive income. Management considers the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable, such that the allocations appropriately reflect the various combining entities’ historical expenses attributable to the Group for purposes of the combined financial statements. However, the expenses reflected in the combined financial statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if the Group had historically operated as a stand-alone independent entity. It is not practicable to estimate actual costs that would have been incurred had the Group been a standalone company during the periods presented. In addition, the expenses reflected in the combined financial statements may not be indicative of expenses that the Group will incur in the future.
Note 20.   Financial Instruments
(a)
Classification of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on an ongoing basis either at fair value or at amortised cost. The principal accounting policies in Note 3 describe how the classes of financial instruments are measured, and how income and expense, including fair value gains and losses, are recognised.
 
F-108

(b)
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group standardised financial risk management policy is to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group whilst managing its financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest risk. The Group operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Parent’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.
The following sections provide details regarding the Group’s exposure to the abovementioned financial risks and the objective, policies and processes for the management of these risks.
(i)
Credit risk
Financial assets that are primarily exposed to credit risks are receivables, inter-company balances and cash and bank balances.
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from the inability of its customers to make payments when due.
The carrying amounts of the financial assets recorded on the combined statements of financial position at the end of the reporting period represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
(ii)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.
The Group’s funding requirements and liquidity risk are managed with the objective of meeting business obligations on a timely basis. The Group finances its liquidity through internally generated cash flows and minimises liquidity risk by keeping committed credit lines available.
The remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities are disclosed in their respective notes.
 
F-109

 
Note 20.   Financial Instruments (continued)
(iii)
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Group has transactional currency exposures arising from balances in trade receivables in a currency other than the functional currencies of the Group. The foreign currencies in which these transactions are denominated in are Indonesia Ruppiah.
The Group’s foreign currency risk management objective is to minimise foreign currency exposure that gives rise to economic impact, both at transaction and reporting period translation levels. The Group is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk as the majority of the Group’s and of the Company’s transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in the functional currencies of the Group.
The foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the end of reporting period are as follows:
2024
2024
JPY
USD
Financial assets
Trade receivables
1,925,482 12,836
(iv)
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from interest-bearing financial instruments, namely other receivables, loans and lease liabilities.
The Group observes the movements in interest rates and always strives to obtain the most favourable rates available for new financing or during repricing. It is also the Group’s policy to maintain a mix of fixed and floating rate financial instruments as follows:
2024
2023

20,000,000 136,000
Lease liabilities
34,989,786 55,107,513 233,265 374,731
As the Group does not account for its fixed rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, any change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect its profit or loss (and equity). No disclosure of sensitivity analysis is presented as there is no floating rate instrument outstanding as at end of the financial year.
(c)
Fair values of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of short-term payables and cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments and insignificant impact of discounting.
(i)
Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during current and previous financial period.
 
F-110

 
Note 20.   Financial Instruments (continued)
(ii)
Level I fair value
Level I fair value is derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) m active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(iii)
Level 2 fair value
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
(iv)
Level 3 fair value
Level 3 fair values for the financial assets and liabilities are estimated using unobservable inputs.
Note 21.   Capital Management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The combining entities are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial year.

Note 22.   Prior Year’s Adjustments

RELATIVITY HOLDINGS INC (OC-421851)
(HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE

(Incorporated in Cayman Islands)
Basis for Opinion (Cont’d)
We conducted our audits 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 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 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements have been presented in United States Dollar (“USD” or “US$”), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in USD have been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise stated.
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information
The Company applies the significant accounting policies set out below, consistently throughout all periods presented in the financial statements unless otherwise stated.
(a)
Financial assets
Debt instruments
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition, and the categories include trade and other receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and cash and bank balances.
(i)
Financial assets at amortised cost
The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (“EIR”) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The Company’s financial asset at amortised cost includes cash in hand.
(ii)
Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
The Company has not designated any financial assets as FVTOCI.
(iii)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
The Company has not designated any financial assets as FVTPL.
 
F-120

 
RELATIVITY HOLDINGS INC.
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
Equity instruments
The Company subsequently measures all its equity investments at fair value. Equity investments are classified as FVTPL with movements in their fair values recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the changes arise, except for those equity securities which are not held for trading. The Company has elected to recognise changes in fair value of equity securities not held for trading in OCI as these are strategic investments and the Company considers this to be more relevant. Movements in fair values of investments classified as FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Dividends from equity investments are recognised in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received for financial instrument is recognised in profit or loss.
(b)
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(a)   Offsetting of financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(c)
Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognised an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all debt instruments not held at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (“a 12-month ECL”). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is
 
F-121

 
RELATIVITY HOLDINGS INC.
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (“a lifetime ECL”).
(d)
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation and depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which it is charged to the revaluation surplus.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
(e)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash at bank which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.
(f)
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Other shares are classified as equity and/or liability according to the economic substance of the particular instrument. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided.
Note 4.   Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IAS and IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting dates. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgement in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company standardised financial risk management policy is to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Company whilst managing its financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest risk. The Company operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Company’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.
The following sections provide details regarding the Company’s exposure to the abovementioned financial risks and the objective, policies and processes for the management of these risks.
(i)
Credit risk
The carrying amounts of the financial assets recorded on the statement of financial position at the end of the reporting period represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
(ii)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company’s funding requirements and liquidity risk are managed with the objective of meeting business obligations on a timely basis. The Company finances its liquidity through internally generated cash flows and minimises liquidity risk by keeping committed credit lines available.
All financial liability of the Company is assessed as current and correspondingly, no detailed maturity analysis is deemed necessary.
(c)
Fair values of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of short-term payables and cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments and insignificant impact of discounting.
(i)
Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during current and previous financial period.
(ii)
Level 1 fair value
Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) m active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
F-124

 
RELATIVITY HOLDINGS INC.
Note 9.   Financial Instruments (continued)
(iii)
Level 2 fair value
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
(iv)
Level 3 fair value
Level 3 fair values for the financial assets and liabilities are estimated using unobservable inputs.
Note 10.   Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The combining entities are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the financial year.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Note 11.   Comparative Figures

The adoption of these new and amendments to IAS, IFRS pronouncements did not result in significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies and has no material effect on the amounts or the disclosures reported for the current or prior reporting periods.
Basis of measurement
The combined financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of separate entities, segments or components of a group under common control that do not meet the definition of a ‘legal group’. The combined financial statements comprise the financial statements of the abovenamed companies under common management as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the companies used in the preparation of the combined financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
The combined financial statements are historical financial information and such combined financial statements of the new reporting entity should comprise of all income and expenses of economic activities arising from its business. Income and expenses that are clearly identifiable in all economic activities should be included in the combined financial statements, using a reasonable basis of allocation, considering whether a) the assets and liabilities will be part of the new reporting entity; b) there was any intra-group recharge between the parent and the new reporting entity; and c) the recharges represent amounts actually incurred and the basis of these recharges has been established. The new reporting entity should comply with the requirements of IAS 12 to allocate income tax of separate entities for the preparation of the combined financial statements.
 
F-131

 
Note 2:   Basis of Presentation (continued)
The legal status of the new reporting entity subsequent to the transaction should be taken into consideration when determining allocation of such expenses. The Group can either treats the economic activities as if they were an independent group for tax purposes; or treat the business as a separate tax payer within the Group from which it is being separated; or allocate tax balances on a proportionate basis by applying the overall Group’s tax rate to the income earned by the business. Revenue was included based on specific identification as they relate to customers and revenue type of the merchant retail business.
Functional and presentation currency
These combined financial statements have been presented in United States dollar (“USD” or “US$”) while the Group’s functional currency remain in Japanese Yen (“JPY” or “JP¥”). The combined financial statements are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which the combining entities are incorporate and operates. The translations of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts have been made at the following rates :
(i)
¥150 to $1 the approximate rate of exchange at year ended 30 November 2024; and
(ii)
¥144 to $1 the approximate rate of exchange at period ended 31 May 2025.
Such translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate. All financial information presented in USD have been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise stated.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, cost of replacing component parts of the assets, and the present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the assets after their use. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit or loss.

Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
(ii)
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.
(iii)
Depreciation
Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation is recognised in the profit or loss on straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life.
Except for freehold land, property, plant and equipment are depreciated based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Freehold buildings and renovation 15 to 20 years
Signboard 10 years
Motor vehicles 6 years
Machineries 10 years
Computers and equipment 4 to 5 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in property, plant and equipment.
(b)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired are measured initially at cost. Following initial acquisition, intangible asset is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible asset is tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment. The useful life of intangible asset is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change
in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Software is depreciated based on the estimated useful lives of 5 years.
Intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amounts is recognised in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(c)
Financial assets
Debt instruments
Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition, and the categories include trade and other receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and cash and bank balances.
 
F-133

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
(i)
Financial assets at amortised cost
The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
(ii)
Fair value through other comprehensive income
The Group has not designated any financial assets as FVTOCI.
(iii)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Debt instruments that are held for trading as well as those that do not meet the criteria for classification as amortised cost or FVOCI are classified as FVTPL. Movement in fair values and interest income is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
(d)
Inventories
Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate allowance has been made for all deteriorated, damaged, obsolete or slow-moving inventories.
Cost of manufactured and trading products is determined on weighted average basis respectively. The cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads based on normal operating capacity and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(e)
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognised an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all debt instruments not held at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (“a 12-month ECL”). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (“a lifetime ECL”).
For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
 
F-134

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
(f)
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation and depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which it is charged to the revaluation surplus.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
(g)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash at bank which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.
(h)
Revenue recognition
(i)
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfied a performance obligation (“PO”) by transferring a promised good or services to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A PO may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied PO.
The Group recognises revenue from the sales of goods and services rendered. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products has transferred, and the payment terms can be identified, and it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled to in exchange of those goods or services, being at the point the customer purchases the goods.
Revenue is recognised based on the price specified in the contract net of the rebates, discounts and taxes. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately at the point the customer purchases the goods.
It is the Group’s policy to sell its products to the end customer with a right of return within 14 days. The Group uses its accumulated historical experience to estimate the number of returns using the expected value method. It is highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur given the consistent level of returns over previous years. The validity of this assumption and the estimated amount of returns are reassessed at each reporting date. No contract liability (refund liability) nor the right to the returned goods are recognised for the
 
F-135

 
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information (continued)
products expected to be returned as the return rate is assessed to be insignificant, based on accumulated experience of the Group.
(ii)
Other revenue and income
Revenue and income from other sources are recognised as follows:
Rental income
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the tenure of the lease.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

The Group leases buildings for their office, production and hostel for lease terms of between 1 to 5 years.
Note 7:   Trade receivables
Trade receivables are generally on 30 days term (2024: 30 days). They are recognised at their original invoice amounts which represent their fair values on initial recognition. Other credit terms are approved on a case-by-case basis.
The Group determines that a trade receivable is credit-impaired when the customer is experiencing significant financial difficulty and has defaulted in payments. Unless otherwise demonstrated, the Group generally considers a default to have occurred when the trade receivable is more than 90 days past due. The gross carrying amount of a credit-impaired trade receivable is directly written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. This normally occurs when there is reasonable proof of customer insolvency.
The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses using the simplified approach in accordance with IFRS 9. Such lifetime expected credit losses are calculated using a provision matrix based on historical observed default rates (adjusted for forward-looking estimates). The following table details the risk profile of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished among the diversity of customer base.
The average credit loss rates were based on the payment profile of revenue over a period of 12 months and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced during the period. The rates were adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired are relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default.

FIRM TO THE SHAREHOLDER AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR OF
INSTINCT BIO TECHNICAL COMPANY INC. (OC-420235)
(HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE “COMPANY” OR “ISB BIOTECH”)
(Incorporated in Cayman Islands)
Basis for Opinion (Cont’d)
We conducted our audits 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 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 estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements have been presented in United States Dollar (“USD” or “US$”), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in USD have been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise stated.
Note 3.   Material Accounting Policy Information
The Company applies the significant accounting policies set out below, consistently throughout all periods presented in the financial statements unless otherwise stated.
(a)
Financial assets
Debt instruments
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVTPL, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition, and the categories include trade and other receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and cash and bank balances.
(i)
Financial assets at amortised cost
The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (“EIR”) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The Company’s financial asset at amortised cost includes cash in hand.
(ii)
Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”)
The Company has not designated any financial assets as FVTOCI.
(iii)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
The Company has not designated any financial assets as FVTPL.
Equity instruments
The Company subsequently measures all its equity investments at fair value. Equity investments are classified as FVTPL with movements in their fair values recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the changes arise, except for those equity securities which are not held for trading. The Company has elected to recognise changes in fair value of equity securities not held for trading in OCI as these are strategic investments and the Company considers this to be more relevant. Movements in fair values of investments classified as FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Dividends from equity investments are recognised in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
 
F-151

 
A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received for financial instrument is recognised in profit or loss.
(b)
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
(a)
Offsetting of financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statements of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(c)
Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognised an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all debt instruments not held at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (“a 12-month ECL”). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (“a lifetime ECL”).
(d)
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation and depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which it is charged to the revaluation surplus.
 
F-152

 
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
(e)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash at bank which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any.
(f)
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Other shares are classified as equity and/or liability according to the economic substance of the particular instrument. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided.
Note 4.   Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IAS and IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting dates. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgement in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Note 8.   Related Party Disclosures
(a)
Identifying related parties
For the purpose of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related to the Company if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice versa, or where the Company and the party are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.
Related parties also include key management personnel defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company either directly or indirectly. The key management personnel comprise the Director and management personnel of the Company, having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company directly or indirectly.
(b)
Significant related party transactions
The Company has no significant related party transactions during the financial period.
(c)
Compensation of key management personnel
The Company does not have any key management personnel compensation during the financial period.
Note 9.   Financial Instruments
(a)
Classification of financial instruments
Financial asset and financial liability are measured on an ongoing basis either at fair value or at amortised cost. The principal accounting policies in Note 3 describe how the classes of financial instruments are measured, and how income and expense, including fair value gains and losses are recognised.
The following table analyses the financial asset and liability in the statement of financial position by the class of financial instruments to which they are assigned, and therefore by the measurement basis:

(b)
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company standardised financial risk management policy is to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Company whilst managing its financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest risk. The Company operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Company’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.
The following sections provide details regarding the Company’s exposure to the abovementioned financial risks and the objective, policies and processes for the management of these risks.
(i)
Credit risk
The carrying amounts of the financial assets recorded on the statement of financial position at the end of the reporting period represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
 
F-154

 
(ii)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company’s funding requirements and liquidity risk are managed with the objective of meeting business obligations on a timely basis. The Company finances its liquidity through internally generated cash flows and minimises liquidity risk by keeping committed credit lines available.
All financial liability of the Company is assessed as current and correspondingly, no detailed maturity analysis is deemed necessary.
(c)
Fair values of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of short-term payables and cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments and insignificant impact of discounting.
(i)
Policy on transfer between levels
The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during current and previous financial period.
(ii)
Level 1 fair value
Level 1 fair value is derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) m active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(iii)
Level 2 fair value
Level 2 fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
(iv)
Level 3 fair value
Level 3 fair values for the financial assets and liabilities are estimated using unobservable inputs.
Note 10.   Capital Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The combining entities are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the financial year.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Note 11.   Comparative Figures
There are no comparative figures presented as this is the first set of financial statements prepared by the Company.
Note 12.   Date of Authorisation for Issue
The financial statements of the Company for the financial period from 28 March 2025 (date of incorporation) to 31 May 2025 were authorised for issue on 23 June 2025.

6.2   Delivery of Audited Company Financial Statements.   The Seller Representative has delivered to Purchaser the Audited Company Financials (as hereinafter defined). “Audited Financial Statements” means the audited consolidated financial statements of the Target Company (including, in each case, any related notes thereto), consisting of the consolidated balance sheets of the Target Company as of November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2023, and the related consolidated income statements, changes in membership interests and statements of cash flow for the fiscal years then ended, each audited by PCAOB-qualified auditors in accordance with IFRS and PCAOB standards.

Each Party agrees that (i) Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. on April 30, 2025, to conduct additional due diligence (the “Due Diligence Period”) on the Target Company to determine whether any facts exist that would result, individually or in the aggregate, in a reduction of the valuation of the Target Company by an amount equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Equity Consideration (such 5% reduction in valuation, a “Material Reduction”) and (ii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Target Company shall deliver the Company Disclosure Schedules to the Purchaser following the execution of this Agreement. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that all disclosures in the Company Disclosure Schedules delivered by the
 
A-37

 
Target Company shall be deemed to modify and qualify all of the representations and warranties set forth herein for all purposes of this Agreement, subject to the Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.3. On or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, if the Purchaser wishes to assert that a Material Reduction in the valuation of the Target Company has been identified Purchaser shall deliver to the Target Company and Seller Representative a written notice containing Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Material Reduction in the valuation of the Target Company in reasonable detail, including a list of each fact that Purchaser contends would result in such Material Reduction and the portion of the Material Reduction attributable to such fact (the “Reduction Notice”). If the Purchaser does not deliver a Reduction Notice in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then the Purchaser on behalf of all of the Purchaser Parties shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.3. If the Target Company and Seller Representative disagrees with any element of or fact or amount set forth in the Reduction Notice, the Target Company and Seller Representative shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth its disagreement thereto in reasonable detail (a “Disagreement Statement”). If a Disagreement Statement is not delivered by the Target Company and/or Seller Representative within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Reduction Notice, then Seller will have waived their right to contest the Reduction Notice and Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.18.1(g). If a Disagreement Statement is delivered within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, then Seller Representative and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve all issues set forth in the Reduction Notice and in the Disagreement Statement for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter. If Seller Representative and Purchaser do not reach a final resolution within such thirty (30) day period, then the Parties shall refer the dispute to an independent third-party valuation firm with no material current or prior business or personal relationship with any Party or their Affiliates which is mutually decided by the Purchaser and the Target Company (the “Valuation Firm”), for valuation purposes. The Target Company and the Purchaser agree to execute, if requested by the Valuation Firm, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Valuation Firm. All fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm will be borne one hundred percent (100%) by (i) Target Company, if the Valuation Firm determines that a Material Reduction exists; or (ii) Purchaser, if the Valuation Firm determines that a Material Reduction does not exist. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with the review and preparation of the Reduction Notice and Disagreement Statement and in connection with the review by the Valuation Firm shall be borne by the Purchaser Party or the Target Company based on who incurred such costs. The Valuation Firm will determine only those issues in the Reduction Notice or the Disagreement Statement that are still in dispute. The determination by the Valuation Firm will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by the Purchaser and Target Company and not on the Valuation Firm’s independent review; provided, that such presentations will be deemed to include any work papers, records, accounts or similar materials delivered to the Valuation Firm by the Purchaser or the Target Company in connection with such presentations and any materials delivered to the Valuation Firm in response to requests by the Valuation Firm. Target Company and the Purchaser will use their commercially reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Valuation Firm of the disputed items, and each of the Purchaser and the Target Company will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other and any questions and requests of the Valuation Firm. In deciding any matter, the Valuation Firm will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. It is the intent of the Parties hereto that the activities of the Valuation Firm in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). Target Company and the Purchaser will request that the Valuation Firm’s determination be made within forty-five (45) days after its engagement, or as soon thereafter as possible, will be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Purchaser and the Target Company and will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error). If the Valuation Firm determines that there exists a Material Reduction, Purchaser may terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.18.1(g), provided that the Target Company have failed to remedy the identified issues within thirty (30) days of receipt of the written statement of the Valuation Firm’s determination.

8.3   Fees and Expenses.   Subject to Sections 6.18, 10.16 and 10.17, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such
 
A-55

 
expenses; provided that (i) if the Closing occurs then the Expenses of the Parties shall be paid by the Surviving Subsidiary; provided, further that if this Agreement is terminated because the Target Company has entered into an agreement for an Alternative Transaction in violation of Section 6.6, then the Seller Representative shall cause the Target Company to, in addition to and without limitation of other available remedies, promptly after receipt of written notice from the Purchaser setting forth the aggregate amount of Expenses of the Purchaser Parties incurred prior to such termination and containing reasonable documentation for all such Expenses (the “Expense Notice”), reimburse each Purchaser Party for all Expenses set forth in the Expense Notice. As used in this Agreement, “Expenses” includes all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors, financing sources, experts and consultants to a Party hereto or any of its Affiliates) incurred by a Party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document related hereto. With respect to the Purchaser, Expenses shall not include any expenses paid as described in Section 6.18 and shall include any and all deferred expenses (including fees or commissions payable to the underwriters and any legal fees) of the IPO upon consummation of a Business Combination and any Extension Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Purchaser and the Target Company shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all filing fees and expenses under any applicable Antitrust Laws, including the fees and expenses relating to any pre-merger notification required the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“Antitrust Expenses”), and fees and expenses relating to the filing of, or the registration of securities pursuant to, the Registration Statement and/or Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in aggregate maximum amount of Expenses for which the Purchaser Parties may be able to receive reimbursement hereunder shall not exceed the aggregate amount set forth on Schedule 6.5(b)(xv). For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall not incur any expenses relating to this Agreement and/or the Merger, including the Antitrust Expenses, without the prior written consent of the Target Company, and any such expenses incurred without such prior written consent shall not be reimbursable under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser Parties’ aggregate Expenses shall be settled in cash up to $400,000, and any remaining Expenses of the Purchaser and the Sponsor, including any promissory notes issued by the Purchaser, shall be paid from the capital of the Surviving Subsidiary, including available funds in the Trust Account. If such funds are insufficient, the remaining balance shall be converted into equity of the Target Company. In derogation to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall remain obligated to comply with its obligations in accordance with the terms of the promissory note issued by the Purchaser to the Operating Company dated January 24, 2025 (“Promissory Note”). In the event of inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Promissory Note, the terms of the Promissory Note shall prevail, to the extent of such inconsistency.
ARTICLE IX
WAIVERS AND RELEASES
9.1   Waiver of Claims Against Trust.   Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. Each Seller hereby represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that the Purchaser has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment securities acquired by Purchaser’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Purchaser’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Purchaser’s underwriters) (the “Public Stockholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Purchaser’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (“Business Combination”) or in connection with an amendment to Purchaser’s Organizational Documents to extend Purchaser’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if Purchaser fails to consummate a Business Combination within the timeframe specified in the Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, as amended, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes, or (d) to Purchaser after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of Purchaser entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Seller hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither a Seller nor
 
A-56

 
any of its controlled Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each Seller on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with Purchaser or its Affiliates). Each Seller agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Purchaser and its Affiliates to induce Purchaser to enter in this Agreement, and each Seller further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Seller and each of its controlled Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent that a Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Purchaser or its Representatives, such Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its controlled Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that a Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates commences an Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, Purchaser and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the such Seller or its controlled Affiliates, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event Purchaser or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action. This Section 9.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

10.4   Binding Effect; Assignment.   This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any Party by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (and after the Closing, the Purchaser Representative) and the Seller Representative, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder; provided, further that after the Closing, Pubco may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with any transaction which constitutes an Acquisition Proposal without the consent of any other Party.
 
A-58

 
10.5   Third Parties.   Except for the rights of the D&O Indemnified Persons set forth in Section 6.17, and of each of RAC and Target Company attorneys in Section 10.18, which the Parties acknowledge and agree are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement for purposes of such Sections and related enforcement provisions, nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person that is not a Party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party.
10.6   Arbitration.   Any and all disputes, controversies and claims (a “Dispute”) (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of a resolution under this Section 10.6 arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby) shall be governed by this Section 10.6. A Party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any Disputes to the other Parties subject to such Dispute, which notice must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the Dispute. The Parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within ten (10) Business Days of the notice of such Dispute being received by such other Parties subject to such Dispute (the “Resolution Period”); provided, that if any Dispute would reasonably be expected to have become moot or otherwise irrelevant if not decided within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of such Dispute, then there shall be no Resolution Period with respect to such Dispute. Any Dispute that is not resolved during the Resolution Period may immediately be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the then-existing Expedited Procedures (as defined in the AAA Procedures) of the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Procedures”) of the AAA. Any party involved in such Dispute may submit the Dispute to the AAA to commence the proceedings after the Resolution Period. To the extent that the AAA Procedures and this Agreement are in conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator nominated by the AAA promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the submission of the Dispute to the AAA and reasonably acceptable to each Party subject to the Dispute, which arbitrator shall be a commercial lawyer with substantial experience arbitrating disputes under acquisition agreements. The arbitrator shall accept his or her appointment and begin the arbitration process promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after his or her nomination and acceptance by the Parties subject to the Dispute. The arbitrator shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Delaware. Each Party subject to the Dispute shall submit a proposal for resolution of the Dispute to the arbitrator within twenty (20) days after confirmation of the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to order any Party to do, or to refrain from doing, anything consistent with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and applicable Law, including to perform its contractual obligation(s); provided, that the arbitrator shall be limited to ordering pursuant to the foregoing power (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall order) the relevant party (or parties, as applicable) to comply with only one or the other of the proposals. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and shall include a reasonable explanation of the arbitrator’s reason(s) for selecting one or the other proposal. The seat of arbitration shall be in the State of New York, City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
10.7   Governing Law; Jurisdiction.   This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Subject to Section 10.6, all Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if such court lacks jurisdiction, any other state or federal court located in the State of Delaware) (or in any appellate court thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Subject to Section 10.6, each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at
 
A-59

 
the applicable address set forth in Section 10.3. Nothing in this Section 10.7 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.
10.8   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.   EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.8.
10.9   Specific Performance.   Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party(ies), money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Party(ies) may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party(ies) in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
10.10   Severability.   In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
10.11   Amendment.   This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the Purchaser, the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative.
10.12   Waiver.   The Purchaser on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and the Seller Representative on behalf of the Seller, the Founder and the Operating Company, may in its sole discretion (i) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act, (ii) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties contained herein and (iii) waive compliance with any covenant or condition contained herein if such waiver is in writing and signed by both the Purchaser and the Seller Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement by Pubco or the Purchaser after the Closing shall also require the prior written consent of the Purchaser Representative.
10.13   Entire Agreement.   This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which exhibits and schedules are incorporated herein by reference embody 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 to herein or the documents or instruments referred to herein, which collectively supersede all prior agreements and the understandings among the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein.

(a)
evidence;
 
B-15

payment of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating the evidence; and
(d)
payment of a reasonable fee, if any for issuing a replacement share certificate,

Lien on Shares
Nature and scope of lien
4.1
The Company has a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether Fully Paid Up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others). The lien is for all monies payable to the Company by the Member or the Member’s estate:
(a)
either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a Member; and
(b)
whether or not those monies are presently payable.
4.2
At any time the Board may declare any Share to be wholly or partly exempt from the provisions of this Article.
Company may sell Shares to satisfy lien
4.3
The Company may sell any Shares over which it has a lien if all of the following conditions are met:
(a)
the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable;
(b)
the Company gives notice to the Member holding the Share (or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of that Member) demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold; and
(c)
that sum is not paid within fourteen Clear Days after that notice is deemed to be given under these Articles,
and Shares to which this Article 4.3 applies shall be referred to as Lien Default Shares.
4.4
The Lien Default Shares may be sold in such manner as the Board determines.
4.5
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Directors shall incur no personal liability to the Member concerned in respect of the sale.
Authority to execute instrument of transfer
4.6
To give effect to a sale, the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Lien Default Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser.
4.7
The title of the transferee of the Lien Default Shares shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in respect of the sale.
Consequences of sale of Shares to satisfy lien
4.8
On a sale pursuant to the preceding Articles:
(a)
the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of those Lien Default Shares; and
(b)
that person shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the certificate (if any) for those Lien Default Shares.
4.9
Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4.8, such person shall remain liable to the Company for all
 
B-16

 
monies which, at the date of sale, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those Lien Default Shares. That person shall also be liable to pay interest on those monies from the date of sale until payment at the rate at which interest was payable before that sale or, failing that, at the Default Rate. The Board may waive payment wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the Lien Default Shares at the time of sale or for any consideration received on their disposal.
Application of proceeds of sale
4.10
The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable. Any residue shall be paid to the person whose Lien Default Shares have been sold:
(a)
if no certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, at the date of the sale; or
(b)
if a certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, upon surrender to the Company of that certificate for cancellation
but, in either case, subject to the Company retaining a like lien for all sums not presently payable as existed on the Lien Default Shares before the sale.

5.13
A forfeited or surrendered Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Board determine either to the former Member who held that Share or to any other person. The forfeiture or surrender may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit at any time before a sale, re-allotment or other disposition. Where, for the purposes of its disposal, a forfeited or surrendered Share is to be transferred to any person, the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share to the transferee.
Effect of forfeiture or surrender on former Member
5.14

The Directors may deduct from a dividend or any other amount payable to a person in respect of a Share any amount due by that person to the Company on a call or otherwise in relation to a Share.
Power to pay other than in cash
23.9
If the Directors so determine, any resolution declaring a dividend may direct that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets. If a difficulty arises in relation to the distribution, the Directors may settle that difficulty in any way they consider appropriate. For example, they may do any one or more of the following:
 
B-39

 
(a)
issue fractional Shares;
(b)
fix the value of assets for distribution and make cash payments to some Members on the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of Members; and
(c)
vest some assets in trustees.
How payments may be made
23.10
A dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a Share may be paid in any of the following ways:
(a)
if the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share nominates a bank account for that purpose — by wire transfer to that bank account; or
(b)
by cheque or warrant sent by post to the registered address of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share.
23.11
For the purposes of Article 23.10(a), the nomination may be in writing or in an Electronic Record and the bank account nominated may be the bank account of another person. For the purposes of Article 23.10(b), subject to any applicable law or regulation, the cheque or warrant shall be made to the order of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to the Share or to his nominee, whether nominated in writing or in an Electronic Record, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company.
23.12
If two or more persons are registered as the holders of the Share or are jointly entitled to it by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the registered holder (Joint Holders), a dividend (or other amount) payable on or in respect of that Share may be paid as follows:
(a)
to the registered address of the Joint Holder of the Share who is named first on the register of Members or to the registered address of the deceased or bankrupt holder, as the case may be; or
(b)
to the address or bank account of another person nominated by the Joint Holders, whether that nomination is in writing or in an Electronic Record.

Any Joint Holder of a Share may give a valid receipt for a dividend (or other amount) payable in respect of that Share.

23.14
Unless provided for by the rights attached to a Share, no dividend or other monies payable by the Company in respect of a Share shall bear interest.
Dividends unable to be paid or unclaimed
23.15
If a dividend cannot be paid to a Member or remains unclaimed within six weeks after it was declared or both, the Directors may pay it into a separate account in the Company’s name. If a dividend is paid into a separate account, the Company shall not be constituted trustee in respect of that account and the dividend shall remain a debt due to the Member.
23.16
A dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by, the Company.

(a)
by paying up the amounts unpaid on that Member’s Shares;
(b)
by issuing Fully Paid Up Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company to that Member or as that Member directs. The Directors may resolve that any Shares issued to the Member in respect of Partly Paid Up Shares (Original Shares) rank for dividend only to the extent that the Original Shares rank for dividend while those Original Shares remain Partly Paid Up.
Applying an amount for the benefit of Members
24.3
The amount capitalised must be applied to the benefit of Members in the proportions to which the Members would have been entitled to dividends if the amount capitalised had been distributed as a dividend.

Annex C
FAIRNESS OPINION
[MISSING IMAGE: lg_entrepreneurshares-4clr.jpg]
EntrepreneurShares Valuation Services
Private and Confidential February 24, 2025
Relativity Acquisition Corp.
Attention: Tarek Tabsh
3753 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 200
Las Vegas, Nevada 89169
Fairness Opinion Letter
We understand that Relativity Acquisition Corp. (“Relativity”), entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) dated January 14, 2025, by and among Instinct Brothers Holdings Co. Ltd. (“Instinct Brothers” or the “Company”) and Relativity, pursuant to which Relativity will form a new subsidiary (“NewCo”) to consummate a business combination with Instinct Brothers (the “Transaction”) based on a pre-money Enterprise Value of $200 Million. After giving effect to the Transaction, NewCo will become a public company and indirectly wholly own Instinct Brothers.
The total consideration to be paid to the equity holders of the Company (including holders of options, warrants and other convertible securities) in the Transaction (the “Transaction Consideration”), after adjusting for debt, cash and transaction expenses, will be shares of NewCo common stock based on a pre-money enterprise value of the Company of $200 Million. The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more fully set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
The Board of Directors of Relativity (“you”) have engaged EntrepreneurShares LLC (“ERShares Valuation Services” or “us”) to render an opinion (the “Opinion”) as to the fairness of the Transaction to the shareholders (other than Relativity Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), any of its affiliates and any other holder of shares of Class B common stock of Relativity (“Relativity Class B Shares”)) of Relativity from a financial point of view.
This Opinion is furnished solely to be utilized by the Board of Directors as only one input to consider in its process of analyzing the Transaction and it does not constitute a recommendation to any member of the Board of Directors, any stockholder of Relativity, or any other person as to how such person should vote or act with respect to the Transaction. This Opinion is delivered to the Board of Directors subject to the conditions, scope of engagement, limitations and understanding set forth in this Opinion and subject to the understanding that the obligations of ERShares Valuation Services in the Transaction are solely corporate obligations. Furthermore, no officer, director, employee or shareholder of ERShares Valuation Services shall be subjected to any personal liability whatsoever (other than for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) to any person, nor will any such claim be asserted by or on behalf of you or your affiliates against such person with respect to this Opinion other than ERShares Valuation Services.
We have not been asked to opine on, and this Opinion does not express any views on, (i) any other terms of the Transaction, (ii) Relativity’s underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Transaction, (iii) the merits of the Transaction relative to any alternative transaction or business strategy that may be available to Relativity (iv) the amount or nature of the compensation to any officer, director or employee, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received by the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Relativity or the Company in the Transaction, or relative to or in comparison with the Transaction Consideration, (v) the fairness of the Transaction to any particular group or class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of Relativity, other than those set forth in this Opinion (vi) the solvency, creditworthiness or fair value of the Company or any other participant in the
 
C-1

 
Transaction under any applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters or (vii) the fair value of the Company independent from the Transaction taken as a whole.
In the course of our analyses for rendering this Opinion, we have made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as we have deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, including, without limitation:
1)
We have reviewed the following documents and sources of information in items a through h, without limitation:
a.
Executed Non-Binding Letter of Intent referenced above dated January 14, 2025 (the “LOI”);
b.
Draft of the Business Combination Agreement, by and among Relativity, NewCo, and Instinct Brothers (the “Draft Business Combination Agreement”);
c.
Instinct Brothers Group’s Draft financial statement for the Years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021;
d.
Instinct Brothers’ Investor Presentation;
e.
Various Instinct Brothers’ organizational and administrative documents we deemed necessary and appropriate to our analysis;
f.
Instinct Brothers’ Cap Table (including pro forma for the Transaction);
g.
Various documents related to insurance, loan and tax we deemed necessary and appropriate to our analysis;
h.
Prospective financial data related to the Company, for which we have no reason to dispute the underlying assumptions.
2)
We met or otherwise communicated electronically with certain members of Relativity’s senior and operating management to discuss Instinct Brothers’ operations, historical financial results related to their entities, future prospects, and projected operations and performance;
3)
We considered publicly available data and stock market performance data of public companies we deem comparable to Instinct Brothers and reviewed the industry in which Instinct Brothers operates; and
4)
We conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries, and investigations as we deemed appropriate, including economic, industry and Company-specific information.
The primary method used was a Market Method — Guideline Public Traded Companies as the basis for the fairness opinion assessment. These public comps were independently obtained by us.
We also used a Guideline Transaction Method to support the fairness opinion assessment. These were independently obtained and examined by us. Additional details of the analysis performed can be found in the associated proxy statement.
In the course of our investigation, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial statements and other information provided to us by Relativity and the Company and we have further relied upon the assurances of management that they were unaware of any facts that would make the information provided to us incomplete or misleading in any material respect for the purposes of this Opinion. We have not assumed any responsibility for independent verification of such information or assurances. With respect to the Instinct Brothers’ Management’s company outlook, we have been advised, and have assumed, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting good faith judgements of the management of Instinct Brothers as to the future financial performance of Instinct Brothers.
Given the Company’s nature as a special purpose acquisition company, for purposes of our opinion and with Relativity’s consent we have assumed a value of $10.00 per NewCo Share in calculating the value of the SPAC New Common Shares to be issued as the consideration under the agreement, with such $10.00 value being based on Relativity’s initial public offering price, the stated value per NewCo Common Share provided in the agreement, and Relativity’s approximate cash per outstanding Class A Share (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the dilutive impact of the Class B common stock, par value 0.0001 per share, of Relativity (the “Class B Shares” and together with Relativity’s Class A Shares and the NewCo Common
 
C-2

 
Shares) or any warrants issued by Relativity). In rendering our opinion, we do not express any view or opinion as to what the value of any Relativity’s Common shares will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the price or range of prices at which any Relativity Common Shares or other securities and financial instruments of or relating to Relativity may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time before or after announcement or consummation of the transaction.
In arriving at our opinion, we have not performed any independent appraisal, or physical inspection, of the assets of the Company. Our analysis does not constitute an examination, review of, or compilation of prospective financial statements in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”). We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions or whether any of the prospective financial statements, if used, are presented in conformity with AICPA presentation guidelines. We have also assumed that neither Relativity nor the Company are currently involved in any material transaction other than the Transaction, and those activities undertaken in the ordinary course of conducting their businesses. We are not responsible for conclusions based on erroneous or incomplete information provided to us.
Our Opinion is predicated on our assumption that the final executed form of the Business Combination Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the LOI and the Draft Business Combination Agreement we have examined, that the conditions to the Transaction as set forth in the LOI will be satisfied, and that the Transaction will be consummated on a timely basis in the manner contemplated by the LOI. We have also assumed, that, in the course of obtaining the necessary governmental, regulatory and other approvals, consents, releases and waivers for the Transaction, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Instinct Brothers or the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.
Our Opinion is necessarily based on business, economic, market, and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated by us at the date of this letter. It should be noted that although subsequent developments may affect this Opinion, we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm our Opinion. We reserve the right, however, to withdraw, revise, or modify our Opinion based upon additional information that may be provided to or obtained by us after the issuance of the Opinion but was known or should have been known by Relativity or the Company at the date of such issuance that suggests, in our judgment, a material change in the assumptions upon which our Opinion is based.
We acknowledge and agree that this Opinion and a summary thereof may be filed with or included in or with any proxy or information statement required to be filed by Relativity or NewCo with the Securities and Exchange Commission and delivered to the holders of Relativity’s or NewCo’s securities in connection with the Transaction.
Our assignment was finalized on February 23, 2025, after a period of comments from the Fairness Opinion Review board of Relativity. Any events or information occurring after this date have not been subject to consideration.
We have been retained by Relativity to provide this Fairness Opinion in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fixed fee for our services. Our fee is not contingent upon, or related to, the size of the transaction consideration, or whether the Transaction is consummated.
