Form F-1 filed February 13, 2024
Cover Page
1.You indicate that you are registering 20,233,439 shares in a primary offering by the
company. Please separately disclose the number of shares being registered upon the
exercise of the Public Warrants, the conversion of secured convertible notes and the
automatic conversion of the Company Earnout Non-Voting Special Shares. Similarly
identify all of the shares being registered for resale on behalf of selling securityholders.
2.Please explain in your response letter why you are registering the primary offering rather
than the secondary offering of shares issuable upon conversion of your secured
convertible notes. In addition, explain why you are registering both the primary offering
of 5,000,000 million shares issuable upon the automatic conversion of the Company
Earnout Non-Voting Special Shares and the secondary offering of 3,712,410 shares

3.For each of the securities being registered for resale, disclose the price that the selling
securityholders paid for such securities or the securities overlying such securities.
4.Please revise to include disclosure comparing the exercise prices of the warrants whose
underlying shares are being registered to the market price of the underlying securities.
Disclose that cash proceeds associated with the exercise of warrants are dependent on
your stock price. Identify the warrants that are currently out of the money, such as the
Public Warrants, and that the company is unlikely to receive proceeds from the exercise of
those warrants. Also identify the warrants that may be exercised on a cashless basis and
disclose that the company may not receive cash for the exercise of these warrants even if
they are in the money. Provide similar disclosure in the prospectus summary, risk factors,
MD&A and use of proceeds section. As applicable, describe the impact on your liquidity
and update the discussion on the ability of your company to fund your operations on a
prospective basis with your current cash on hand.
5.We note the significant number of redemptions of Prospector Class A Shares in
connection with your business combination and that the shares being registered for resale
will constitute a considerable percentage of your public float. We also note that many of
the shares being registered for resale were purchased by the selling securityholders for
prices considerably below the current market price of your Common Shares. Highlight the
significant negative impact sales of shares on this registration statement could have on the
public trading price of the Common Shares.
Risk Factors, page 14
6.Include an additional risk factor highlighting the negative pressure potential sales of
shares pursuant to this registration statement could have on the public trading price of the
Common Shares. To illustrate this risk, disclose the purchase price of the securities being
registered for resale and the percentage that these shares currently represent of the total
number of shares outstanding. Also disclose that even though the current trading price
is significantly below the SPAC IPO price, certain private investors have an incentive to
sell because they will still profit on sales because of the lower price that they purchased
their shares than the public investors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 105
7.In light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company
will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity
between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the Common
Shares, expand your discussion of capital resources to address any changes in the
company’s liquidity position since the business combination. For example, disclose
the total percentage of Prospector public shares that were redeemed in connection with the
vote to extend the deadline for a business combination and the vote on the Business
Combination, the resulting amount of funds you received from the trust account and the

transaction costs of the Business Combination. Disclose the amount of debt and other
securities issued, net proceeds received, and fees paid or payable to finance the company
and its obligations in connection with and following the Business Combination. If the
company is likely to have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on
the company’s ability to raise additional capital. For example, disclose that this offering
involves the potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for resale and discuss how
such sales could impact the market price of the company’s common stock. Your
discussion should highlight the fact that three selling shareholders who beneficially own
almost 80% of your outstanding shares will be able to sell all of their shares for so long as
the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is available for use.
Selling Securityholders, page 156
8.Please discuss how each of the selling securityholders received the shares they are
offering.
9.Footnote 12 to the selling securityholder table on page 158 provides information about
Interest Solutions LLC and the shares it is reselling. In the footnote, you indicate that an
affiliate of Interest Solutions LLC is a party to a consulting agreement with the company
pursuant to which the shares being offered by Interest Solutions LLC are being issued.
Please identify this affiliate. You further indicate that the shares have not been issued.
Please tell us when the shares will be issued and why it is appropriate to register the shares
for resale when they are not outstanding. Lastly, you indicate that Interest Solutions LLC
is an affiliate of a broker-dealer. Please identify the broker-dealer.
General
10.Revise your prospectus to disclose the price that each selling securityholder paid for the
securities being registered for resale. Highlight any differences in the current trading
price, the prices that the Sponsor, private placement investors, PIPE investors or other
selling securityholders acquired their securities, and the price that the public
securityholders acquired their shares and warrants. Disclose that while the Sponsor,
private placement investors, PIPE investors or other selling securityholders may
experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public
securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they
purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price. Please
also disclose the potential profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current
trading price. Lastly, please include appropriate risk factor disclosure.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
