The source filing identifies the registrant as KINS Technology Group Inc., not Cxapp Inc.

Material Changes and Transaction Terms

The company also entered into underwriting, warrant, trust, registration rights, administrative services, sponsor warrant purchase, letter, and director and officer indemnity agreements.
Private placement warrants generally have transfer restrictions and registration rights, are not redeemable by the company except as described in the prospectus, and may be exercised on a cashless basis while held by eligible holders or permitted transferees.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- The trust funds are generally restricted until the earliest of completion of an initial business combination, specified redemptions related to amendments of stockholder rights or redemption provisions, or redemption of public shares if no business combination is completed within 18 months after the IPO closing.
- Interest earned on the trust funds may be released to pay taxes, if any.
- The filing does not announce a target company, transaction agreement, operating forecast, or financial guidance.
- Investors remain exposed to the risk that the SPAC may not complete an initial business combination within the required period, which could result in redemption of public shares.
