Item 2. Identity and Background.
| (a) | This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by Mercury Capital, LLC (“Mercury”), a Delaware
limited liability company. |
| (b) | The business address of Mercury is 4413 South Nepal Street, Centennial, Colorado 80015. |

securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. |
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds
or Other Consideration.
On December 27, 2023,
the Issuer, Alpha Partners Technology Merger Sponsor LLC (“Alpha Partners Sponsor”) and Mercury entered into a purchase agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, at a closing on December 28, 2023 (the “Closing”), Mercury (i) purchased
3,902,648 founder units of the Issuer from Alpha Partners Sponsor, each unit consisting of one Class B ordinary share (“Class B
Shares”) and one-third of one redeemable warrant to acquire one Class B Share, which founder units are subject to forfeiture in
certain circumstances, and (ii) became entitled to 70% of 2,030,860 founder units that Alpha Partners Sponsor placed in escrow at
the Closing to the extent such founder units are allocated to investors who hold and do not redeem their Class A Shares of the Issuer
at the time of the Issuer’s initial business combination, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.
The source of funds for the
acquisitions described above was working capital of Mercury.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
As announced in the Issuer’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 2024, Mercury (i) purchased 3,902,648
founder units of the Issuer from Alpha Partners Sponsor, each unit consisting of one Class B Shares and one-third of one redeemable warrant
to acquire one Class B Share, which founder units are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, and (ii) became entitled to
70% of 2,030,860 founder units that Alpha Partners Sponsor placed in escrow at the Closing to the extent such founder units are allocated
to investors who hold and do not redeem their Class A Shares of the Issuer at the time of the Issuer’s initial business combination.
Such securities were acquired and are held for investment purposes, but Mercury may review and evaluate strategic alternatives, opportunities
to increase stockholder value, Issuer operations, governance and control, and other matters related to the Issuer. Depending on market
conditions and other factors (including evaluation of the Issuer’s businesses and prospects, availability of funds, alternative
uses of funds and general economic conditions), Mercury may from time to time acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of
all or a portion of its investment in the Issuer.
Following
the Closing, Mercury beneficially owns approximately 55% of the Issuer’s outstanding Class B Shares, has the power to appoint the
officers of the Issuer and a majority of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and may therefore be deemed
to control the Issuer.
On
December 28, 2023, Michael D. Ryan, Steve Brotman, Scott Grimes, John Rice, Marcie Vu and Tracy R. Wolstencroft resigned as members
of the Board, and Matt Krna and Sean O’Brien resigned from their respective positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Issuer. On January 2, 2024, Mercury and the other holders of the Issuer’s Class B Shares appointed Michael Dinsdale,
Alan Black and David Sable to the Board. On January 3, 2024, the Board appointed Kanishka Roy as President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary
and Treasurer of the Issuer.
Except as set forth in the
preceding paragraphs and in Item 6 of this statement on Schedule 13D, as of the date hereof, Mercury does not have any plan or proposal
that relates to or would result in any of the transactions enumerated in sub items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule
13D.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Mercury reserves the right to effect any such actions as it may deem necessary or appropriate in the future.
Item 5. Interest in Securities
of the Issuer
| (a) | The information contained on the cover page of this statement on Schedule 13D and the footnotes thereto
is incorporated herein by reference. |
| (b) | The information contained on the cover page of this statement
on Schedule 13D and the footnotes thereto is incorporated herein by reference. |
| (c) | Except as described herein, during the 60 days preceding the date of this statement on Schedule 13D, Mercury
has not effected any transactions in the Class A Shares of the Issuer. |
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Purchase Agreement
The information contained
in Item 3 of this statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.
Alpha
Partners Sponsor and Mercury each agreed to pay $112,500 in Extension Contributions (as defined in the Issuer’s definitive proxy
statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2023) in each of December 2023 and January 2024. In addition,
pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Alpha Partners Sponsor agreed to pay, or cause its affiliates to pay, certain liabilities
of the Issuer accrued and outstanding as of the Closing and will deliver founder units to Mercury to the extent such liabilities are unsatisfied
or Alpha Partners Sponsor’s obligation to make Extension Contributions is not satisfied.
Following
the Closing, Alpha Partners Sponsor has no further obligations with respect to the Issuer and Mercury assumed all obligations relating
to the Issuer, including, (i) to cause the Issuer to file a proxy statement providing public investors of the Issuer with the option to
accept a revised trust extension arrangement or redeem their Class A Shares and receive their pro rata share of the Issuer’s
trust account, (ii) to cause the Issuer to satisfy all of its public reporting requirements as well as taking all action to cause the
Issuer to remain listed on Nasdaq, (iii) the payment of all Extension Contributions after January 2024 and working capital of the Issuer,
at the discretion of Mercury, and (iv) all other obligations of Alpha Partners Sponsor related to the Issuer.
The
foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Purchase
Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Subscription
Agreement
On
January 3, 2024, the Issuer, Mercury and Palmeira Investment Limited (the “Investor”) entered into a subscription agreement
(the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which Mercury may raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund extension payments
and working capital for the Issuer, including $250,000 upon the execution of the Subscription Agreement, $250,000 on February 1, 2024,
and as otherwise called by Mercury in its discretion. At the closing of the Issuer’s initial business combination, Mercury will
forfeit 0.85 Class B Shares, and the Issuer will issue an equal number of Class A Shares to the Investor, for each dollar funded by the
Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. If the Issuer’s initial business combination does not occur, Mercury will not forfeit
any shares.
Prior
to the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, the Investor has the right to appoint one representative to the
Board and Mercury agreed to vote its shares in favor of such representative. In addition, the Issuer agreed not to enter into a definitive
agreement with respect to a proposed business combination without the prior written consent of Mercury and the Investor.
The
foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the text of the Subscription Agreement, which is
filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
