Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Support Agreement
Commencing on the effective date of the Company’s prospectus through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company in
the amount of $10,000 per month. The Company incurred $30,000 in expenses in connection with these services during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, which are included in administrative
fee-related
party on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
amounts of
approximately $10,000 and $27,900
are
outstanding, respectively, in connection with these serv
ic
es, included in due to related party on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates for any
expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates.
The Company also agreed to pay (i) the Company’s
non-employee
directors who will receive an annual cash compensation of $20,000 and a
onetime
cash payment of $30,000 to be paid upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and (ii) Matthew Roden, as Chairman, will receive an annual cash retainer of $40,000 and a
onetime
cash payment of $60,000 to be paid upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the Company to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, prior to completion of the initial Business Combination.
The Sponsor and its affiliates have indicated an interest to purchase up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of the Company’s ordinary shares in a private placement that would occur concurrently with the consummation of the initial Business Combination. However, because indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the Sponsor may determine not to purchase any such shares, or to purchase fewer shares than it has indicated an interest in purchasing. Furthermore, the Company is not under any obligation to sell any such shares. Such investment would be made on terms and conditions determined at the time of the Business Combination.
Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements.
