Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On April 11, 2023, Denali issued a convertible promissory note (the "Convertible
Promissory Note") in the total principal amount of up to $825,000 to the
Sponsor. The Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal
balance of $412,500, with the remaining $412,500 drawable at Denali's request
prior to the maturity of the Convertible Promissory Note. The Convertible
Promissory Note bears an interest equivalent to the lowest short-term Applicable
Federal Rate, and matures upon the earlier of (i) the closing of Denali's
initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of Denali. At
the option of the Sponsor, upon consummation of a business combination, the
Convertible Promissory Note may be converted in whole or in part into additional
Class A ordinary shares of Denali, at a conversion price of $10 per ordinary
share (the "Conversion Shares"). The terms of the Conversion Shares will be
identical to those of the private placement shares that were issued to the
Sponsor in connection with Denali's initial public offering. In the event that
Denali does not consummate a business combination, the Convertible Promissory
Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be
forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
The foregoing description of the Convertible Promissory Note is only a summary
and is qualified in its entirety by the Convertible Promissory Note, which is
filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On April 12, 2023, Denali issued a press release announcing that it deposited
$825,000 into the Denali trust account in order to extend the period of time it
has to consummate a business combination by an additional three months, from the
current deadline of April 11, 2023 to July 11, 2023 (the "Extension"), a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Current Report are not historical facts but
are forward-looking statements, including for purposes of the safe harbor
provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as
"believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend,"
"expect," "should," "would," "plan," "project," "forecast," "predict,"
"potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," "target," and similar
expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not
statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean
that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, expectations related to the terms, satisfaction
of conditions precedent and timing of the Business Combination. These statements
are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current
Report, and on the current expectations of Denali's and Company's management and
are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are
provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and
must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a
prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and
circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from
assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of
Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including: changes in domestic and foreign business, market,
financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to
successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk
that any required stockholder or regulatory approvals are not obtained, are
delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect
the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination;
failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; risks
relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect
to Company; risks and costs relating to the regulatory approvals and compliance
applicable to Company's products; Company's ability to obtain sufficient working
capital; Company's level of indebtedness; Company's ability to successfully and
timely acquire, develop, sell and expand its technology and products, and
otherwise implement its growth strategy; risks relating to Company's operations
and business, including information technology and cybersecurity risks; risks
related to the loss of requisite licenses; risks relating to potential
disruption of current plans, operations and infrastructure of Company as a
result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; risks
that Company is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; risks
that the combined company experiences difficulties managing its growth and
expanding operations; the ability to compete with existing or new companies that
could slow the development of Company's products or cause downward pressure on
prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage
of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share; the amount of
redemption requests made by Denali's shareholders; the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic; the ability to successfully select, execute or integrate future
acquisitions into the business, which could result in material adverse effects
to operations and financial conditions; and those factors discussed in the
sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements" in Denali's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC
"
) on March 17, 2023 and in those documents that Denali or Holdco has filed, or
will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied
by these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties above are not
exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither Denali nor Company
presently know or that Denali and Company currently believe are immaterial that
could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the
forward-looking statements. In addition, forward looking statements reflect
Denali's and Company's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and
views as of the date of this Current Report. Denali and Company anticipate that
subsequent events and developments will cause Denali's and Company's assessments
to change. However, while Denali and Company may elect to update these
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Denali and Company
specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements
should not be relied upon as representing Denali's and Company's assessments as
of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. Accordingly, undue
reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

matters as described in the Registration Statement, as well as the preliminary
prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to Denali's
shareholders and certain of Company's equity holders in connection with the
completion of the Business Combination. After the Registration Statement has
been declared effective, Denali will mail a definitive proxy statement and other
relevant documents to its shareholders as of the record date established for
voting on the Business Combination. Denali's shareholders and other interested
persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary proxy
statement/prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the

statement, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC
