NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations
Organization and General
Tishman Speyer Innovation Corp. II (formerly known as TS Innovation II Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 12, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any industry or geographic region, the Company intends to focus its search on identifying a prospective target that can benefit from the Company’s sponsor’s leading brand, operational expertise, and global network in the real estate industry, including real estate adjacent Proptech businesses.
As of February 17, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from November 12, 2020 (inception) through February 17, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is Tishman Speyer Innovation Sponsor II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 11, 2021. On February 17, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 30,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”, collectively, the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling its holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000 (Note 3).
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with the Sponsor of an aggregate of 5,333,334 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase Class A common stock, each at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $8,000,000 (Note 4).
Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $17,018,662, consisting of $6,000,000 of underwriting commissions, $10,500,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and $518,662 of other offering costs. In addition, $1,848,111 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.
Following the closing of the IPO on February 17, 2021, an amount of $300,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), which will be 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 money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from February 17, 2021 the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law (the “Combination Period”).
