Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this Presentation may be considered forward - looking statements within the meaning of the U . S . federal securities laws with respect to the proposed Business Combination . Forward - looking statements generally relate to future events, such as the benefits of the Business Combination or the anticipated timing of the Business Combination , or SPAC or the Company’s future financial or operating performance . For example, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which the Company operates and anticipated growth in demand for the Company’s products, projections of the Company’s future financial results, possible growth opportunities for the Company and other metrics are forward - looking statements . In some cases, you can identify forward - looking statements by terminology such as “pro forma,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “strive,” “budget,” “forecast,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential” and “continue” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology . Such forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward - looking statements . These forward - looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by SPAC, the Company and their respective management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain . Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to : competition ; the ability of the company to grow and manage growth, maintain relationships with consumers, suppliers and strategic partners and retain its management and key employees ; costs related to the Business Combination ; changes in applicable laws or regulations ; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors ; the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability ; the evolution of the markets in which the Company competes ; the ability of the Company to implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing products ; the ability of the Company to defend its intellectual property ; and the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic on the Company’s business . Nothing in this Presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward - looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward - looking statements will be achieved . You should not place undue reliance on forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made . Neither SPAC nor the Company undertakes any duty to update or revise these forward - looking statements . You should consult the risk factors included in this Presentation and SPAC’s public filings with the SEC, including the “Risk Factors” section in the registration statement on Form F - 4 and the proxy statement included therein (the “Registration Statement”) that SPAC filed relating to the proposed Business Combination and the “Risk Factors” section of other documents that SPAC files with the SEC from time to time, for additional information regarding risks and uncertainties related to the potential Business Combination and which could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward - looking statements in this Presentation . Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date they are made . Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward - looking statements, and SPAC and Marti assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward - looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise . Disclaimers 2
Use of Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts for the Company with respect to certain financial results for the Company’s fiscal years 2022 through 2023 . The Company’s independent auditors have not audited, studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation . These projections are forward - looking statements and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results . In this Presentation, certain of the above - mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data . The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information . Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information . Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved . The performance projections and estimates are subject to the ongoing COVID - 19 pandemic, and have the potential to be revised to take into account further adverse effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic on the future performance of SPAC and Marti . Projected financial results and estimates are based on an assumption that public health, economic, market and other conditions will improve ; however, there can be no assurance that such conditions will improve within the time period or to the extent estimated by SPAC or Marti . The full impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic on future performance is particularly uncertain and difficult to predict ; therefore actual results may vary materially and adversely from the projections included herein . Financial Information ; Non - GAAP Measures The financial information for the nine months ended September 30 , 2021 and 2022 and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X promulgated under the Securities Act . Such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, the registration statement on Form F - 4 filed by Galata relating to the Business Combination and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein . This Presentation also includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”) including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom . The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus non - operating income (loss), depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income taxes, stock - based compensation and transaction costs . These non - GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results . Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP . You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly - titled measures used by other companies . The Company believes these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information for management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations . The Company believes the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors . These non - GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures . This Presentation also includes certain projections of non - GAAP financial measures . Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort . Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures is included . Industry and Market Data In this Presentation, SPAC and the Company rely on and refer to certain information and statistics obtained from third - party sources which SPAC and the Company believe to be reliable . While SPAC and the Company believe such third - party information is reliable, there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the indicated information, and the Company has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information . Trademarks This Presentation contains trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners . The Company’s use thereof does not imply an affiliation with, or endorsement by, the owners of such trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights . Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this Presentation may be listed without the TM, SM © or ® symbols, but the Company will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the rights of the applicable owners to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights . There is no guarantee that either SPAC or the Company will work, or continue to work, with any of the firms or businesses whose logos are included herein in the future . Disclaimers (cont’d) 3

55 Risk Factors Risks Related to Marti’s Business and Industry • We have a relatively short operating history and a new and evolving business model, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects, forecast financial results and assess the risks and challenges we may face . • We have incurred significant operating losses in the past and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future . • If we fail to retain existing riders or add new riders, or if our riders decrease their level of engagement with our products and services, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be significantly harmed . • Changes to our pricing could adversely affect our ability to attract or retain riders . • We rely on third parties maintaining open marketplaces to distribute our application and provide the software we use in certain of our products and services . If such third parties interfere with the distribution of our products or services or with our use of such software, if we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such third parties, or if marketplaces are unavailable for any prolonged period of time, our business will suffer . • We operate in a new and rapidly changing industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. • The market for micromobility vehicle sharing is in an early stage of growth, and if such market does not continue to grow, grows more slowly than we expec t or fails to grow as large as we expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. • If we are unable to efficiently grow and further develop our network of shared vehicles and manage the related risks, our bus ine ss, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. • We intend to expand our business and may enter into new lines of business or geographic markets, which may result in addition al risks, uncertainties and costs in our business. • We recently launched a car - pooling service, which may be difficult to monetize and may subject us to increased liability . • We may acquire other businesses, which could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute sharehold er value, and adversely affect our operating results. • We will need additional capital, and we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available. • We may experience delays in launching and ramping the production of our products and features, or we may be unable to control ou r manufacturing costs or the quality of supplies that we require. • Poor weather adversely affects the use of our services, which causes seasonality in our business and could negatively impact our financial performance from period to period. • Future operating results depend upon our ability to obtain vehicles that meet our quality specifications in sufficient quanti tie s on commercially reasonable terms. • We rely on third - party insurance policies to insure us against vehicle - related risks and operations - related risks. If our insura nce coverage is insufficient for the needs of our business or our premiums or deductibles become prohibitively expensive or i f o ur insurance providers are unable to meet their obligations, we may not be able to mitigate the risks facing our business, which co uld adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. • We do not maintain insurance policies for certain risks related to loss or damage to our vehicles, and increases in vandalism or theft could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. • Illegal, improper, or inappropriate activity of riders could expose us to liability and harm our business, brand, financial c ond ition, and results of operations. • Exposure to product liability in the event of significant vehicle damage or reliability issues could harm our business, finan cia l condition, and results of operations. • Our growth and performance metrics and estimates, including the key metrics included in this proxy statement/prospectus, are sub ject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business. • We rely on third - party payment processors to process payments made by users on our software platform and if we cannot manage our relationships with such third parties and other payment - related risks, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. • We may in the future rely on third parties to provide services to us, and if we cannot obtain third - party services our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. • The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and competition represents an ongoing threat to the growth and succes s o f our business. • If our vehicles, mobile applications, or other services have defects, the reputation and brand of our products and services c oul d suffer, which could negatively impact the use of our products and services, and negatively impact our operating results and financial condition. • Any failure to offer high - quality user support may harm our relationships with users and could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations. • Our business is subject to interruptions, delays, or failures resulting from earthquakes, other natural catastrophic events, geo political instability, war, terrorism, public health crises, and other unexpected events. • The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the fu tur e, could harm our business. • The impact of economic conditions, including the resulting effect on discretionary consumer spending, may harm our business a nd operating results. • Our company culture has contributed to our success and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, our business could be h arm ed. • We are subject to risks associated with doing business in an emerging market. • Our history of recurring losses and anticipated expenditures raise doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. O ur ability to continue as a going concern depends in part on obtaining sufficient funding to finance our operations. • We have debts and may incur additional debts in the future. Our debt repayment obligations may limit our available resources and the terms of debt instruments may limit our flexibility in operating our business.
56 Risk Factors • If we breach covenants under our outstanding debts, we could be held in default under such loans, which could accelerate our rep ayment dates and adversely affect our business.The operators of digital storefronts on which we publish our mobile application in many cases have the unilateral ability to change and interpret the terms of our contract with them. • Any actual or perceived security or privacy breach could interrupt our operations and adversely affect our reputation, brand, bu siness, financial condition, and results of operations. • The Convertible Notes to be issued and outstanding after consummation of the Business Combination may have a material adverse eff ect on Galata’s financial results, result in the dilution of Galata’s stockholders and create downward pressure on the price of Galata Class A Ordinary Shares. • COVID - 19 has adversely affected our business and may continue to adversely affect our business. Risks Related to Marti’s Intellectual Property and Technology • Our user growth and engagement on mobile devices depend upon effective operation with mobile operating systems, networks, and st andards that we do not control. • Our future success depends on our ability to keep pace with rapid technological changes that could make our current or future te chnologies less competitive or obsolete. • Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in the Internet and mobile device accessibility of users and unfavorable cha nges in or our failure to comply with existing or future laws governing the Internet and mobile devices. • The operators of digital storefronts on which we publish our mobile application in many cases have the unilateral ability to cha nge and interpret the terms of our contract with them. • We may be parties to intellectual property rights claims and other litigation that are expensive to support, and if resolved adv ersely, could have a significant impact on us and our shareholders. • If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and our business may be adversely affected. • Any significant disruption in our services or in our information technology systems could result in a loss of users or harm o ur business. • Damage to, or failure of, our systems or interruptions or delays in service from our third - party cloud service platforms could i mpair the delivery of our service and harm our business. • Our service relies on GPS and other Global Satellite Navigation Systems (“GNSS”). • Computer malware, viruses, hacking, and phishing attacks, and spamming could harm our business and results of operations. • Systems failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our website, applications, products or services could adv ers ely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Risks Related to Legal Matters and Regulations • Action by governmental authorities to restrict access to our products and services in their localities could substantially ha rm our business and financial results. • Government regulation of the Internet and user privacy is evolving and negative changes could substantially harm our business an d operating results . • We collect, store, process and use personal information and other customer data, which subjects us to governmental regulation an d other legal obligations related to privacy, information security, and data protection, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business. • Expansion of products or services could subject us to additional laws and regulations, and any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations or manage the increased costs associated with such laws or regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. • We are regularly subject to claims, lawsuits, government investigations, and other proceedings that may adversely affect our bus iness, financial condition, and results of operations. • We have faced and are likely to continue to face lawsuits from local governmental entities, municipalities, and private citiz ens related to the conduct of our business. • We are subject to various existing and future environmental health and safety laws and regulations that could result in incre ase d compliance costs or additional operating costs and restrictions. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations may resul t in substantial fines or other limitations that could adversely impact our financial results or operations. • We may be subject to Turkish tax audits that may result in additional tax liabilities. • Our business currently requires us to source parts, materials and supplies internationally, and supply chain disruptions, for eig n currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, import and excise duties, taxes or other governmental rules and regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and pro spects. • Because New Marti is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interest s, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited. • The Economic Substance Legislation of the Cayman Islands may impact New Marti. • The Financial Action Task Force’s increased monitoring of the Cayman Islands could impact New Marti. • The Cayman Islands has recently been added to the EU AML high - risk third countries list and it is unclear if and how this design ation will impact New Marti. • We may be subject to fines and the loss of certain tax advantages as a result of investigations by the Turkish customs author ity .
57 Risk Factors Risks Related to Türkiye • Our headquarters and other operations and facilities are located in Türkiye and, therefore, our prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by political o r economic instability in Türkiye . • We are subject to certain anti - corruption laws, trade sanctions laws and regulations, and anti - money laundering laws and regulat ions, and we could face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which could harm our business. • Türkiye’s economy is subject to inflation and risks related to its current account deficit. • Risks from events affecting Türkiye’s relationship with the United States. • Foreign exchange rate risks could affect the Turkish macroeconomic environment, could affect your investment and could signif ica ntly affect our results of operation and financial position in future periods if hedging tools are not available at commercia lly reasonable terms. • Türkiye is subject to internal and external unrest and the threat of future terrorist acts, which may adversely affect us. • Türkiye’s economy has been undergoing a significant transformation and remains subject to ongoing structural and macroeconomic risks. • Internet and e - commerce regulation in Türkiye is recent and is subject to further development. • If regional instability were to spread, our operations could be adversely affected. • Türkiye is subject to the risk of significant seismic events . Risks Related to Marti’s Financial Results • We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. • We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities and may be affected by changes in tax laws or interpretation s, any of which could adversely impact our results of operations. • We are subject to tax in multiple jurisdictions, and changes in tax laws (or in the interpretations thereof) in the Cayman Is lan ds, Türkiye or in other jurisdictions could have an adverse effect on us. • We establish tax provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to (and recovered from) tax autho rit ies and, as a result, changes in tax laws (or in the interpretations thereof) could have an adverse effect on us. Risks Related to Being a Public Company • New Marti will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and a smaller reporting company, and the reduced disclosure requiremen ts applicable to “emerging growth companies” and smaller growth companies may make its securities less attractive to investors. • The requirements of being a public company may strain New Marti’s resources, divert New Marti management’s attention and affe ct New Marti’s ability to attract and retain qualified board members. • If New Marti fails to put in place appropriate and effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure control s a nd procedures, it may suffer harm to its reputation and investor confidence levels. • New Marti will qualify as a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such New Ma rti is exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies. • As an exempted company limited by shares incorporated in the Cayman Islands, New Marti is permitted to adopt certain home cou ntr y practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the NYSE American corporate governance listing standards applicable to domestic U.S. companies; these practices may afford less protection to shareholder s t han they would enjoy if New Marti complied fully with the NYSE American corporate governance listing standards. • An active, liquid trading market for New Marti’s securities may not develop or be sustained. • If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about New Marti’s bu sin ess, the price and trading volume of New Marti’s securities could decline. • New Marti may be subject to securities class action litigation, which may harm its business and operating results. • Galata may redeem the Public Warrants prior to their exercise or expiration at a time that is disadvantageous to Public Warra nt holders, thereby making their Public Warrants worthless, and exercise of a significant number of the Public Warrants could adversely affect the market price of Class A Ordinary Shares. • Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, New Marti may be required to take write downs or write offs, restru ctu ring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on New Marti’s financial condition, results of operations and share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment. • Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Marti’s only significant asset will be its ownership of Marti and it s affiliates and such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or obtain loans to enable New Marti to pay any dividends on its Class A Ordinary Shares or satisfy other financial obligations.
58 Risk Factors Risks Related to Galata and the Business Combination • Because New Marti will become a publicly traded company by virtue of the Business Combination as opposed to an underwritten i nit ial public offering, the process does not use the services of one or more underwriters, which could result in less diligence being conducted. • Past performance by the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the directors and officers of Galata, may not be indicative of future p erf ormance of an investment in Galata or New Marti. • Galata and Marti may require additional financing prior to completion of the Business Combination in order to satisfy the con dit ions to consummation of the Business Combination, which additional financing may not be able to be obtained. • Galata and Marti may require additional financing prior to completion of the Business Combination in order to satisfy the con dit ions to consummation of the PIPE Subscription, which additional financing may not be able to be obtained. • Activities taken by existing Galata shareholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business Combination proposal and the other proposals could have a depressive effect on our Class A Ordinary Shares. • Galata shareholders will experience dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of Class A Ordinary Sha res as consideration in the Business Combination and the conversion of the Convertible Notes. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that Galata’s current shareholders have on the management of Galata. • If Galata is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination prior to July 9, 2023, they will cease all operations except fo r the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the Galata Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Galata a nd, as a result, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced. • Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Marti’s sole material asset will be its direct and indirect inter est s in its subsidiaries and, accordingly, New Marti will be dependent upon distributions from its subsidiaries to pay taxes and cover its corporate and other overhead expenses and pay dividends, if any, on Class A Ordinary Shares. • The Galata Founder Shareholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Galata’s public s har eholders vote. • The Galata Founder Shareholders and certain of Galata’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination tha t a re different from, or in addition to, those of other shareholders generally, and Galata’s directors were aware of and considered such interests, among other matters, in recommending that shareholders vote in favor of approval of the Proposals. • Galata Founder Shareholders hold a significant number of Founder Shares and the Sponsor holds a significant number of Private Pl acement Warrants. They will lose their entire investment in Galata if Galata does not complete the Initial Business Combination. • Galata will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. • Marti may be subject to business uncertainties while the Business Combination is pending. • The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indic ati ve of what New Marti’s actual financial position or results of operations will be. • The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied o r w aived, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed. • Galata may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination. • The exercise of discretion by Galata’s directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of, or waivers of closing c ond itions in, the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to t he terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of Galata’s sh are holders. • The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) is different from taking a company public through an underwritten offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors. • If third parties bring claims against Galata, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redem pti on amount received by Galata’s shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share. • Galata’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amo unt of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Galata’s public shareholders. • Galata may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of its directors and officers. • If, after Galata distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to Galata’s public shareholders, Galata files a bankruptcy pet iti on or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Galata that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recove r s uch proceeds, and the members of the Galata Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Galata’s creditors, the reby exposing the members of the Galata Board and Galata to claims of punitive damages. • If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Galata’s public shareholders, Galata files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Galata that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding ma y have priority over the claims of Galata’s shareholders and the per - share amount that would otherwise be received by Galata’s sha reholders in connection with Galata’s liquidation may be reduced. • Even if Galata consummates the Business Combination, there is no guarantee that the Public Warrants will be in the money at t he time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless. • Galata may amend the terms of its Public Warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of Public Warrants with the appr ova l by the holders of at least 50% of the then - outstanding Public Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of the Public Warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of Class A Ordinary Shares purchasable upo n e xercise of a Public Warrant could be decreased, all without a holder’s approval. • Galata may redeem unexpired Galata Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to warrant holders, the reb y making their warrants worthless. • Because certain of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants currently trade as Galata Units consisting of one Class A Ord inary Share and one - half of one warrant, the Galata Units may be worth less than units of other blank check companies. • Galata may issue a substantial number of additional Class A Ordinary Shares or Galata preference shares to complete the Busin ess Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of the Business Combination. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of Galata’s shareholders and likely present other risks.
59 Risk Factors • The NYSE American may delist New Marti’s securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to mak e t ransactions in New Marti’s securities and subject New Marti to additional trading restrictions. • Galata cannot assure you that its diligence review has identified all material risks associated with the Business Combination , a nd you may be less protected as an investor from any material issues with respect to New Marti’s business, including any material omissions or misstatements contained in the registration statement or proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Bus ine ss Combination than an investor in an initial public offering. • A significant portion of Galata’s total outstanding shares may not be immediately resold but may be sold into the market in t he near future. This could cause the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares to drop significantly, even if Galata’s busines s i s doing well. • If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, shareholders or financial analysts, the mar ket price of Galata’s securities may decline. • The Sponsor or Galata’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may elect to purchase Galata’s pu bli c shares from public shareholders, which may influence the vote on the Proposals and reduce the public “float” of the Class A Ordinary Shares. • The Galata Warrants and Founder Shares may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares and make it more difficult to effectuate the Business Combination. • Barclays was to be compensated as a financial and capital markets advisor to Marti in connection with the Business Combinatio n. Barclays, gratuitously and without any consideration from Galata or Marti, waived such compensation and disclaimed any responsibility for this proxy statement/prospectus. • If the funds not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the 24 months following th e closing of our initial offering, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. • We have concluded that Galata’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021.
