If we are unable to complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or December 11, 2022, 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 the public 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 pay for our income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of our company, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $789,000 in cash and working capital of approximately $1.1 million.
Our liquidity needs up to June 30, 2021 had been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from our sponsor to cover for certain expenses on behalf of us in exchange for the issuance of the founder shares, the loan of approximately $83,000 pursuant to the note issued to our sponsor, and the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the trust account. We fully repaid the note to our sponsor on December 14, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans. To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loan.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that it will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our entire activity since inception up to June 30, 2021 was in preparation for our formation, and since our Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination at the earliest.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $1.3 million, which consisted of approximately $275,000 in general and administrative expenses, $30,000 in administrative expenses—related party, approximately $1.0 million in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, offset by approximately $7,000 in interest income from investments held in Trust Account.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of approximately $1.5 million, which consisted of approximately $11,000 in interest income from investments held in Trust Account, and approximately $2.0 million in change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, offset by approximately $482,000 in general and administrative expenses, and $60,000 in administrative expenses—related party.
Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of founder shares, private placement units and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion of such shares into Class A ordinary shares) pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement to be entered into upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration and shareholder rights. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable
lock-up
period for the securities to be registered. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
