Equity Ownership & Alignment
| Holder | Shares Beneficially Owned | % of Outstanding | As-of Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heung Ming Henry Wong | 42,000 | “*%” (as shown) | Based on 6,121,733 ordinary shares outstanding at proxy date |
| All directors/officers (6 individuals, incl. one former CEO) | 152,000 | 2.5% | Group total at proxy date |
| Sponsor and insiders (Founder + Private units) | 1,725,000 Founder Shares; 332,000 Private Units | 33.60% of issued and outstanding ordinary shares (with Private Units included) | Record date holdings of directors/executives/Sponsor and affiliates |
Additional alignment and selling pressure considerations:
- Founder/Private holdings expire worthless if no business combination; this creates a strong incentive to consummate a deal rather than liquidate .
- Lock-up provisions restrict transfers of “Restricted Securities” until the earliest of a defined release date, a change of control, or when Pubco shares trade at or above $12.00 for any 20 trading days in a 30-day period commencing at least 150 days after closing; transfers include pledges, with limited exceptions .
- Registration rights and potential conversion of up to $1.5 million of working capital loans into Private Units at $10.00 per unit can add post-merger supply; no amounts were outstanding as of the referenced dates .
Employment Terms
| Term | Detail |
|---|---|
| Role start date | CFO and Director since May 2023 |
| Contract term/expiration | Not disclosed |
| Severance/change-of-control | Company states it is not party to agreements providing benefits upon termination; no cash/non-cash compensation prior to initial business combination |
| Non-compete / non-solicit | Not disclosed |
| Clawback | Company clawback policy effective Nov 30, 2023 |
| Post-closing comp framework | To be established by Pubco; executive and director compensation had not been determined as of proxy date |
Board Governance (including dual-role implications)
- Role: CFO and Director (executive director) . AFJK identifies three independent directors (Lin Bao, Robin H. Karlsen, Dr. Julianne Huh); Mr. Wong is not listed among independent directors .
- Committees (AFJK pre-business combination):
- Audit Committee: Lin Bao (Chair), Robin H. Karlsen, Julianne Huh .
- Compensation Committee: Lin Bao, Robin H. Karlsen, Dr. Julianne Huh (Chair) .
- Nominating Committee: Lin Bao, Robin H. Karlsen (Chair), Dr. Julianne Huh .
- Executive sessions: Independent directors will have regularly scheduled independent-only meetings .
- Post-business combination (Pubco): Board intended to be five directors with three independent directors; audit committee fully independent; nominating and compensation committees with majority independent (not all independent), and a “controlled company” exemption anticipated due to Ms. Xia Ma’s majority voting control (approx. 93% voting power immediately following closing in scenarios disclosed), which may reduce certain governance protections .
Dual-role implications: Mr. Wong’s status as both CFO and director, combined with his not being identified as independent, indicates he is not an independent director; independence oversight is provided by separate committees chaired by independent directors pre-merger .
Director Compensation
| Category | Pre-Business Combination | Post-Business Combination |

| Cash retainers/fees | None paid to officers/directors/affiliates prior to or in connection with business combination; only out-of-pocket expense reimbursement | To be determined by Pubco; expects to develop a program consistent with Nasdaq-listed peers; not yet made as of proxy date |
| Equity compensation | None prior to business combination | Pubco Equity Incentive Plan adoption contemplated; grant schedule/amounts not determined as of proxy date |

Equity Ownership & Alignment Commentary
- Mr. Wong beneficially owns 42,000 ordinary shares; the approximate percentage is shown as “*%” in the proxy table based on 6,121,733 shares outstanding .
- As an initial shareholder/officer, his economic interest is primarily via founder/private holdings that become worthless if no business combination, aligning incentives to close a deal but also creating potential conflict relative to public shareholders who can redeem .
- Post-closing lock-up mechanics (price- and time-based) may influence selling pressure once the $12.00 price/150-day conditions are met or on change of control .
Compensation Structure Analysis
- Year-over-year changes in cash vs equity mix: No executive cash or equity compensation paid prior to business combination; thus no mix shift .
- Guaranteed vs at-risk pay: None pre-combination; at-risk exposure derives from founder/private securities economics and lock-ups .
- Clawback: Company has an adopted clawback compliant with Rule 10D-1, a governance positive .
- Use of independent comp oversight: Compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and chaired by Dr. Huh pre-merger; empowered to retain independent advisers .
Risk Indicators & Red Flags
- Multiple fiduciary roles: Mr. Wong concurrently serves on several public-company boards, creating potential conflicts and time-commitment risks; the filing explicitly lists multiple fiduciary obligations for officers/directors .
- SPAC incentive structure: Founder/private securities’ binary outcome (worthless absent a deal) can misalign incentives with public shareholders around transaction selection and timing .
- Post-merger governance: Anticipated “controlled company” status with concentrated voting power may reduce certain board independence requirements, affecting future executive oversight .
- Compensation opacity: Post-merger executive/director compensation not yet determined as of the proxy date, delaying clarity on pay-for-performance alignment .
Board Service History, Committees, and Independence
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Board service start | Director since May 2023 (concurrent with CFO role) |
| Committee memberships | Not listed on Audit, Compensation, or Nominating (each comprised of independent directors) |
| Independence status | Not identified among independent directors (independent directors are Lin Bao, Robin H. Karlsen, Dr. Julianne Huh) |
| Dual-role implication | CFO + Director; independence addressed via committees chaired by independent directors and executive sessions for independents |
Employment Terms Summary (Key Investor Levers)
- No employment agreement, severance, or change-of-control benefits disclosed for Mr. Wong; no executive compensation paid pre-merger .
- Clawback policy in place; post-merger comp program to be determined by Pubco’s compensation committee .
Investment Implications
- Alignment and unlock overhang: Mr. Wong’s economic exposure is via founder/private securities and 42,000 beneficially owned shares; lock-up terms create a defined path to potential selling (post 150 days and $12.00/20-of-30 day condition or change of control), implying potential supply overhang around those milestones .
- Incentive asymmetry: Founder/private holdings expiring worthless absent a deal strongly incentivize consummating a transaction, which can be at odds with public holders focused on quality and valuation; risk is partly mitigated by independent committees and fairness opinion process .
- Governance trajectory: Post-merger “controlled company” status may dilute minority protections and independent oversight; compensation design and equity plan implementation by the Pubco compensation committee will be important to watch for true pay-for-performance alignment .
- Retention and time commitment: Absence of severance/COC economics reduces “pay to stay” friction but, combined with multiple external directorships, raises time-allocation and retention questions that should be monitored via future disclosures and Form 4 activity, if any .
