NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The measurement of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker SEDA.WS. The quoted price of the Public Warrants was $0.24 and $0.03 per warrant as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility. 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 assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes model to value the Promissory Notes at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Promissory Notes is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in the Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected warrant volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, warrant fair value, and exercise price. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on historical volatility for a period commensurate with the expected term. The expected term of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. 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 dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The aforementioned warrant liabilities are not subject to qualified hedge accounting.

The measurement of the Derivative liability - promissory note – related party redemption feature as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is classified using Level 1 inputs due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker SEDA. The fair value of the Derivative liability promissory note – related party redemption feature was calculated by using the quoted price of the Company’s shares on the date of each deposit made by the Sponsor into the Trust Account. On November 7, 2023, December 7, 2023, January 3, 2024, February 1, 2024, March 5, 2024, April 3, 2024, April 30, 2024, and May 30, 2024 the closing price of the Company’s shares was $10.73, $10.75, $10.80, $10.87, $10.92, $10.96, $11.02, and $11.09 respectively. Management used the estimated probability of completion of a business combination to calculate the fair value of the shares. The fair value of the Derivative liability – promissory note – related party redemption feature as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was calculated by using the quoted price of the Company’s shares of $11.14 and $10.76, respectively, and estimated probability of completion of a Business Combination.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were no transfers between levels.

The following table provides the significant inputs to the Monte Carlo simulation model for the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants:

The following table provides the significant inputs to the Black-Scholes simulation model for the fair value of the Promissory Notes:

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments that are measured at fair value:

The Company recognized a loss of $1,709,659 and $3,989,202 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and a gain of $1,709,658 and $1,139,772 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, in connection with changes in the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, which is recorded in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.
