Overview

FG Merger Corp. (the "Company") is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on December 23, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities ("Business Combination").

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses in the financial services industry. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2022 relates to the Company's formation, the initial public offering ("IPO"), and the search for a business combination target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate nonoperating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 25, 2022. On March 1, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 7,000,000 units (the "Units"). On March 3, 2022, 1,050,000 additional Units were issued pursuant to the underwriters' full exercise of their over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $80,500,000.

Each Unit consists of one common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Public Share") and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant (the "Public Warrant"), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $80,500,000. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of Business Combination or earlier upon the Company's liquidation.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated private placements ( the "Private Placements") of i) 1,000,000 $15.00 exercise price warrants (the "$15 Private Warrants") at a price of $0.10 per $15 Private Warrant, ii) 3,950,000 $11.50 exercise price warrants (the "$11.50 Private Warrants") at a price of $1.00 per $11.50 Private Warrant, and iii) 55,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the "Private Units" and, together with the $15 Private Warrants and $11.50 Private Warrants, the "Private Placement Securities") to the Company's sponsor, FG Merger Investors LLC (the "Sponsor"), directors, and officers, for the aggregate purchase price of $4,600,000.



                                       13

Table of Contents

Each Private Unit consists of one Common Stock and three-quarters of one non-redeemable warrant ("Private Unit Warrant"). Each whole Private Unit Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

Each $15 Private Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per each share, will be exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of Business Combination, will be non-redeemable, and may be exercised on a cashless basis. Additionally, $15 Private Warrants and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the $15 Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Each $11.50 Private Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $11.50 per each share, will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of Business Combination, will be non-redeemable, and may be exercised on a cashless basis. Additionally, $11.50 Private Warrants and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the $11.50 Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

The Company Units are listed on NASDAQ. The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and Private Placement Securities, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding any taxes payable on interest earned on the trust account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

Following the closing of the IPO on March 1, 2022, and subsequent closing of the over-allotment on March 3, 2022, a total of $82,512,500 ($10.25 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of Units in the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Securities as well as the proceeds from the closing of the over-allotment option were placed in a trust account ("Trust Account") and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company's shareholders, as described below.

The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000 upon or immediately prior to such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company's prior written consent.

The holders of Public Shares will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company's warrants.

If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.



                                       14

Table of Contents

The Sponsor, officers, directors and advisors (the "Initial Shareholders") have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) as well as any common shares underlying the Private Units, and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to the Company's pre-Business Combination activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares as well as any common shares underlying the Private Units) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to shareholders' rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the Founder Shares, the Private Units and $15 and $11.50 Private Warrants (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Initial Shareholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

The Company will have until 15 months (or 18 months if the time to complete a business combination is extended as described herein) from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination. In addition, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate an initial business combination within 15 months, the Company's insiders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by an additional three months (for a total of 18 months to complete a business combination) (the "Combination Period"). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliate or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $805,000 ($0.10 per Public Share in either case), on or prior to the 15-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $100,000), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company's board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidation distribution with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination period.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.25 per share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company's indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Recent Developments

On January 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among FGMC, FG Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of FGMC ("Merger Sub"), and iCoreConnect Inc., a Nevada corporation ("iCoreConnect"). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of FGMC, Merger Sub, and iCoreConnect.

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, at the closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into iCoreConnect (the "Merger"), with iCoreConnect surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FGMC.

The obligation of iCoreConnect to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of FGMC and Merger Sub being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of FGMC and Merger Sub having been performed or complied with in all material respects and (ii) the shares of FGMC Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination being listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of FGMC and iCoreConnect, (ii) by FGMC, on the one hand, or iCoreConnect, on the other hand, if there is any breach of the representations, warranties, covenant or agreement of the other party as set forth in the Merger Agreement, in each case, such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by either FGMC or iCoreConnect if the Business Combination is not consummated prior to the later of (A) June 1, 2023 and (B) September 1, 2023 if FGMC extends the deadline by which it must complete its initial business combination in accordance with its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, provided the failure to close by such date is not due to a breach by the terminating party and (iv) by either FGMC or iCoreConnect if a meeting of FGMC's stockholders is held to vote on proposals relating to the Business Combination and the stockholders do not approve the proposals.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed January 6, 2022, as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. FGMC and iCoreConnect do not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

iCoreConnect Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of iCoreConnect have entered into a support agreement (the "iCoreConnect Support Agreement") pursuant to which the stockholders of iCoreConnect that are parties to the iCoreConnect Support Agreement have agreed to vote all shares of common stock of iCoreConnect beneficially owned by them in favor of the Merger Agreement and related transactions (as more fully described in the iCoreConnect Support Agreement).

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through December 31, 2022 were organizational activities, including those necessary to prepare for the IPO and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a Business Combination.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported net loss of $125,789, which consists of $922,230 of general and administrative expenses as well as $170,632 of franchise taxes and $215,000 of income taxes, offset by $1,182,073 of investment income earned in Trust Account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 1, 2022, we consummated our IPO of 7,000,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $70,000,000. On March 3, 2022, 1,050,000 additional Units were issued pursuant to the underwriters' full exercise of their over-allotment option, generating additional gross proceeds of $10,500,000, for total proceeds of $80,500,000.



                                       19

  Table of Contents

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of i) 1,000,000 $15 Private Warrants generating total proceeds of $1,000,000, ii) 3,950,000 $11.50 Private Warrants generating total proceeds of $3,950,000, and iii) 55,000 Private Units generating total proceeds of $55,000. From the proceeds of the IPO and private placement of $15 Private Warrants, $11.50 Private Warrants, and Private Units, the Company retained approximately $900,000 for working capital needs after transfer of proceeds to the Trust Account and payment of expenses related to the IPO and directors and officers insurance. As of December 31, 2022, the Company held a cash balance of $521,865 outside of the Trust Account.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $332,178, consisting primarily of (i) net loss of $125,789, and (ii) change in operating assets and liabilities which include a decrease in prepaid expenses by $223,692, an increase in accounts payable by $296,684, and an increase in tax liabilities by $384,974.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). As of December 31, 2022, there were no Working Capital Loans under this arrangement.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

We have no obligations, assets, or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We had identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Common stock subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company's control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. The Company's common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company's control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2022, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity at redemption value, outside of the stockholders' equity section of the Company's balance sheet.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value using the "at redemption value" method and accordingly recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in-capital. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded charges of $4,435,410 against additional paid-in-capital.

Warrants

The Company accounts for the 6,037,500 Public Warrants, 41,250 Private Unit Warrants, 3,950,000 $11.50 Private Warrant, 1,000,000 $15.00 Private Warrant and 30,188 Underwriter Warrants issued in connection with the IPO and the Private Placements in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 "Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" and ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity". Such guidance provides that the Company's warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each Company's warrants is recorded as equity.

Deferred offering costs

Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO and that are charged to shareholders equity upon the completion of the IPO. Offering costs amounting to $1,240,837 (including $750,000 of underwriting fees) were charged to shareholders' equity upon the completion of IPO. In addition, all deferred offering costs were recorded in additional paid-in-capital due to the IPO. Furthermore, underwriters also received 40,250 Units ("Underwriter Units"), with such Units restricted from sale until the closing of the Business Combination and with no redemption rights from the Trust Account. Each Underwriter Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant ("Underwriter Warrant"), each whole Underwriter Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for $11.50 per share.

Net income (loss) per share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The Company has redeemable and nonredeemable shares of common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the redeemable and nonredeemable shares of common stock. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period. Net loss for the period from January 1, 2022 to IPO was allocated fully to the nonredeemable shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share attributable to stockholders adjusts the basic net loss per share attributable to stockholders and the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the potentially dilutive impact of outstanding warrants. However, because the warrants are anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share of common stock is the same as basic loss per share of common stock for the period presented.
