ITEM 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Business Combination

On March 20, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Zura Bio Limited, a limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Target”), the Issuer, JATT Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub”), JATT Merger Sub 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub 2”) and Zura Bio Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdco”), consummated the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated June 16, 2022, as amended on September 20, 2022, November 14, 2022 and January 13, 2023, by and among Target, Issuer, Merger Sub, Merger Sub 2, and Holdco (the “Business Combination Agreement”), following the approval at an extraordinary general meeting of the SPAC’s shareholders held on March 16, 2023 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting” and the consummation of such transactions, the “Closing”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Holdco, with Holdco continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”); (ii) immediately following the Merger, Holdco merged with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Subsequent Merger” and, together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”); and (iii) the Issuer changed its name to “Zura Bio Limited”.

Founder Shares

In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on March 22, 2021, JATT purchased 4,312,500 founder shares (“Founder Shares”), which wetre Class B ordinary shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.006 per share. On June 14, 2021, JATT surrendered 862,500 Class B ordinary shares to the Issuer for no consideration, resulting in a decrease in the total number of founder Class B ordinary shares outstanding from 4,312,500 to 3,450,000 After the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering in July 16, 2021 (the “IPO”), JATT transferred 30,000 Founder Shares to Verender S.

On February 10, 2023 JATT distributed 2,337,630 Founder Shares to certain members. Subsequently, Dr. Sidhu acquired such shares as of March 20, 2023 due to the failure of such members to comply with the terms of the agreement under which they received membership interests in JATT. In connection with the Closing of Business Combination, on March 20, 2023, the Issuer’s outstanding Class B ordinary shares were converted into the Issuer’s Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for one basis.

Private Placement Warrants

As of the closing of the Business Combination on March 20, 2023, JATT directly held 1,776,534 Private Placement Warrants. 5,910,000 Private Placement Warrants were originally acquired by JATT simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering of the Issuer on July 16, 2021 at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($5,910,000 in the aggregate). The Private Placement Warrants become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.
