Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on April 9, 2019 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that we have not yet identified. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating our Business Combination, we intend to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify, acquire and manage a business in the industrial and consumer sectors. Our sponsor is Oaktree Acquisition Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership.
Our registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on July 17, 2019. On July 22, 2019, we consummated our initial public offering of 20,125,000 units, including 2,625,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $201.25 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.9 million, inclusive of approximately $7.04 million in deferred underwriting commissions.
Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of 4,016,667 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant with our sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.03 million.
Upon the closing of the initial public offering and the private placement, $201.25 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and certain of the proceeds of the private placement was placed in a trust account, located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) ofRule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the assets held in the trust account as described below.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or July 22, 2021, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem thepublic shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to fund our regulatory compliance requirements and other costs related thereto and/or to pay our income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
