Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation | Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation CF Acquisition Corp. VII (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 8, 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”). Although the Company is not limited in its search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on companies operating in the financial services, healthcare, real estate services, technology and software industries. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced operations. All activity through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and the Company’s efforts toward locating and completing a suitable Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized non-operating income in the form of interest income from investments in money market funds that invested in U.S. government debt securities from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized non-operating income in the form of interest income from cash deposited in a demand deposit account held at a U.S. bank. The Company’s sponsor is CFAC Holdings VII, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 15, 2021. On December 20, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 18,250,000 units (each, a “Unit” and with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including 750,000 Units sold upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $182,500,000, as described in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50. Each warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and will expire 5 years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 450,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit to the Sponsor in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $4,500,000, which is described in Note 4. The proceeds of the Private Placement Units and the Sponsor Note (as defined below) were deposited into the Trust Account (as defined below) and will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares subject to the requirements of applicable law (see Note 4). Offering costs amounted to approximately $4,000,000, consisting of $3,600,000 of underwriting fees and approximately $400,000 of other costs. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and sale of the Private Placement Units on December 20, 2021, an amount of $186,150,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Units (see Note 4) and the proceeds of the Sponsor Note was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) acting as trustee, which were initially invested only 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 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 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. To mitigate the risk of the Company being deemed to be an unregistered investment company and thus be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, in December 2023, the Company instructed Continental to liquidate the investment in money market funds that invested in U.S. government debt securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a U.S. bank with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. On June 16, 2023, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved an extension of time for the Company to consummate the Business Combination from June 20, 2023 to March 20, 2024 (or such shorter period of time as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “First Extension”). In connection with the First Extension, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate amount of up to $3,861,967 (the “First Extension Loan”), with $429,107 ($0.03 for each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the First Extension) (the “First Extension Monthly Amount”) deposited into the Trust Account for each calendar month of the First Extension. The First Extension Loan does not bear interest and is repayable by the Company to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Business Combination. The principal balance of the First Extension Loan may be prepaid at any time with funds outside of the Trust Account. In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the First Extension, 3,946,419 Public Shares were redeemed at approximately $10.48 per share, resulting in a reduction of $41,373,633 in the amount held in the Trust Account. On March 14, 2024, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved an extension of time for the Company to consummate the Business Combination from March 20, 2024 to March 20, 2025 (or such shorter period of time as determined by the Company’s board of directors) (the “Second Extension”). In connection with the Second Extension, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate amount of up to $1,200,000 (the “Second Extension Loan”), with (i) $100,000 (the “Second Extension Monthly Amount”) deposited into the Trust Account in connection with the first funding of the Second Extension Loan on March 15, 2024, and (ii) the Second Extension Monthly Amount being deposited into the Trust Account for each calendar month thereafter (commencing on April 21, 2024 and ending on the 20 th Initial Business Combination – The Company will provide the holders of the Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.20 per Public Share). The per share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem the Public Shares will not be reduced by the Marketing Fee (as defined in Note 4). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Company will proceed with the Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of the Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as may be amended, the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing the Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the Business Combination is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), their Private Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by the initial stockholders in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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 common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. Forward Purchase Contract Failure to Consummate a Business Combination The initial stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders 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 the Business Combination within the Combination Period. 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 less than $10.20 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has 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 below $10.20 per share. 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, 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, except for the Company’s underwriters and independent registered public accounting firm. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $25,000 of cash in its operating account. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $12,314,000 and approximately $9,382,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $3,714,000 and approximately $6,282,000, respectively, of interest income earned on funds held in the Trust Account was available to pay taxes. The Company’s liquidity needs through September 30, 2024 have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of approximately $97,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to a promissory note (the “Pre-IPO Note”) (see Note 4), the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units not held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor Loan (as defined below), the 2023 Working Capital Loan (as defined below), and the 2024 Working Capital Loan (as defined below). The Company fully repaid the Pre-IPO Note upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor loaned the Company $1,750,000 to fund the Company’s expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements after the Initial Public Offering and prior to the Business Combination (the “Sponsor Loan”), which Sponsor Loan has been fully drawn by the Company. If the Sponsor Loan is insufficient, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4). On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Working Capital Loan (the “2023 Working Capital Loan”) with the Sponsor in the amount of up to $1,000,000 in connection with advances the Sponsor made to the Company for working capital expenses, which 2023 Working Capital Loan has been fully drawn. Effective as of September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Working Capital Loan (the “2024 Working Capital Loan”) with the Sponsor in the amount of up to $750,000 in connection with advances the Sponsor will make to the Company for working capital expenses. On June 16, 2023, the Company entered into the First Extension Loan with the Sponsor, pursuant to which as of September 30, 2024, the Sponsor loaned the Company $3,861,967 in the aggregate. On March 14, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Extension Loan with the Sponsor in the amount of up to $1,200,000. Seven fundings of the Second Extension Monthly Amount were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 for the aggregate amount of $700,000. Each of the 2023 Working Capital Loan, the 2024 Working Capital Loan, the First Extension Loan and the Second Extension Loan bears no interest and is due and payable on the date on which the Company consummates the Business Combination. The principal balance of each loan may be prepaid at any time with funds outside of the Trust Account. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was approximately $11,039,000 and approximately $8,462,000, respectively, outstanding under the loans payable by the Company to the Sponsor. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these amounts included $1,750,000 as of both periods outstanding under the Sponsor Loan, approximately $3,862,000 and approximately $3,004,000, respectively, outstanding under the First Extension Loan, $3,650,000 as of both periods outstanding under the Sponsor Note (see Note 4), $1,000,000 and approximately $58,000, respectively, outstanding under the 2023 Working Capital Loan, $700,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the Second Extension Loan, and approximately $77,000 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the 2024 Working Capital Loan. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses, 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. Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of September 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any future period. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the final prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on March 29, 2024 and December 16, 2021, respectively. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation. Going Concern In connection with the Company’s going concern considerations in accordance with guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations and certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations that occur after December 31, 2022. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself and not its stockholders from which the shares are repurchased. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”) has authority to promulgate regulations and provide other guidance regarding the excise tax. In April 2024, the Treasury Department issued proposed regulations providing guidance with respect to the excise tax. Taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations until final regulations are issued. Under the proposed regulations, liquidating distributions made by special purpose acquisition companies are exempt from the excise tax. In addition, any redemptions that occur in the same taxable year as a liquidation is completed will also be exempt from such tax. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise (such as in connection with the First Extension and the Second Extension), may be subject to the excise tax depending on a number of factors. Because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming stockholders, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not yet been determined. The obligation of the Company to pay any excise tax could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete the Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete the Business Combination. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized excise tax payable of approximately $1,405,000 and $414,000, respectively, in connection with the Extensions and resulting redemptions of Public Shares on the balance sheets. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0 and approximately $991,000, respectively, of Interest expense on mandatorily redeemable Class A common stock, representing excise tax in connection with the redemption of Public Shares in the Second Extension, on the unaudited condensed statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0 and approximately $414,000, respectively, of Interest expense on mandatorily redeemable Class A common stock, representing excise tax in connection with the redemption of Public Shares in the First Extension, on the unaudited condensed statements of operations. |
