Liquidity and Capital Resources
There is no current commitment on the part of any financing source to provide additional capital and no assurances can be provided that such additional capital will ultimately be available. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $3.7 million and cash of approximately $0.1 million. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise additional capital (to the extent ultimately necessary) will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
On May 18, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account and as of June 30, 2023, we had $0.1 million of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $13,707,892 in transaction costs, including $4,600,000 of underwriters’ discount paid, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and $1,067,892 of other fees.
On December 14, 2022, we held a special meeting of stockholders (“the Meeting”), where our stockholders approved a proposal (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to amend the company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the company must consummate its initial business combination from May 18, 2023 to May 18, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by the company’s board of directors (the “Extension”, and such later date, the “Extended Date”).
In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, stockholders holding 19,896,459 shares of the company’s Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the company’s trust account. As a result, $199,650,204 (approximately $10.03 per share) was removed from the company’s trust account to pay such holders. 3,103,541 of the public shares issued in our IPO remain outstanding.
Following the Meeting, on December 14, 2022, the company’s board of directors waived the condition to the Extension Amendment Proposal providing that no more than $75 million of redemptions occur.
