Description of Organization and Business Operations | Note 1-Description Organization and General Leo Holdings Corp. II (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 1, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. Leo Holdings Corp. II has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Glimpse Merger Sub, Inc (“Merger Sub I”), a Delaware corporation, which was formed on January 5, 2023 and Glimpse Merger Sub II, LLC (“Merger Sub I”), a Delaware corporation, which was formed on January 9, 2023. Leo Holdings Corp. II and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Company”. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from September 1, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the search for a potential target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating Sponsor and Financing The Company’s sponsor is Leo Investors II Limited Partnership, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 7, 2021. On January 12, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 37,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 2,500,000 additional Units to partially cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $375.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $21.3 million, of which approximately $13.1 million was in respect of deferred underwriting commissions (Note 6). Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,666,667 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $10,000 (Note 4). Trust Account Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $375.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“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 invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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) of Rule 2a-7 below. Initial Business Combination The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes paid or payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company will provide its holders of its Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share non-public Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company. The Company’s S If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by October 12, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), the Company 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 the Public Shares, at a per-share The Sponsor agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or members of the Company’s management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Liquidity and Going Concern As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $591 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $1.8 million. The Company’s liquidity needs through Initial Public Offering have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain of the Company’s expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and the loan of approximately $169,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (as defined in Note 5). The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, an affiliate of its Sponsor, or officers or directors. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor, or their affiliates, may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, reducing overhead expenses, and extending the terms and due dates of certain accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Based upon the analysis above, management has determined that the above conditions indicate that it may be probable that the Company would not be able to meet its obligations within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Proposed Business Combination On January 12, 2023, the Company, Glimpse Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Glimpse Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), and World View Enterprises Inc., a Delaware corporation (“World View”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”). World View and the Company are collectively referred to as the “Parties.” Pursuant to the Agreement, prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company shall domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Sections 206 to 209 of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands. In connection with the Domestication, (i) each Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Domestication shall be converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) and (ii) each Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Domestication shall be converted into one (1) share of Company Common Stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, it is anticipated that (a) Merger Sub I shall merge with an into World View (the “First Merger”), with World View being the surviving corporation of the First Merger; and (b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, World View will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving company of the Second Merger (Merger Sub II, in its capacity as the surviving company of the Second Merger, the “Surviving Company”), and as a result of which the Surviving Company will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.” The Business Combination is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023, following the receipt of the required approval by the Company’s shareholders and the fulfillment or waiver of other customary closing conditions. In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.00001 of World View (the “World View Common Stock”) (including shares of World View Common Stock resulting from the conversion of preferred stock, convertible notes and simple agreements for future equity of World View) will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to Per Share Merger Consideration. The total consideration to be paid at the closing to the selling parties in connection with the Agreement will be approximately $350,000,000 (subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Agreement, including with respect to the sponsor promote value, certain transaction expenses and the cash and debt of World View). Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, (i) the Company, (ii) the Sponsor, Lori Bush (“Bush”), Mary E. Minnick (“Minnick”), Naveen Agarwal (“Agarwal”), Scott Flanders (“Flanders”), Imran Khan (“Khan”), Scott McNealy (“McNealy”) and Mark Masinter (“Masinter”, and together with Bush, Minnick, Agarwal, Flanders, Khan, McNealy and the Sponsor, the “Sponsor Parties”) and (iii) World View, entered into a Sponsor Agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor Parties have agreed to (i) vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals (as such term is defined in the Agreement) and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) waive the anti-dilution or similar protections with respect to the Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company held by the Sponsor Parties and (iii) not redeem any of their shares in connection with the vote to approve the Business Combination. Extension of Combination Period On January 9, 2023, the Company held the Extension Meeting to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles Amendment”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from January 12, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to April 12, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until October 12, 2023, or a total of up to nine months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). The shareholders of the Company approved the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extension Meeting and on January 10, 2023, the Company filed the Articles Amendment with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. As disclosed in the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on December 16, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Extension Meeting”), the Sponsor agreed that if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, it or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees (the “Lender”) will contribute to the Company as a loan, within of the date of the Extension Meeting, $ to be deposited into the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. In addition, in the event the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the Articles Extension Date, the Lender will contribute to the Company as a loan up to $ in six equal installments to be deposited into the Trust Account for each of six one-month extensions following the Articles Extension Date. Accordingly, on January 12, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $ (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor (See Note 5). The Sponsor funded the initial principal amount of $ . The Promissory Note does t bear interest and matures upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. The proceeds of the Promissory Note will be deposited in the Trust Account. Up to $ of the total principal amount of the Promissory Note may be converted, in whole or in part, at the option of the Lender into warrants of the Company at a price of $ per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the initial public offering of the Company. In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 32,924,036 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.15 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $334.2 million. | Note 1-Description Organization and General Leo Holdings Corp.
