Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations
RXR Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on January 5, 2021. 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”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. The Company’s sponsor is RXR Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. Substantially, all activity for the period from January 5, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), and activities related to the pursuit of a target described below. 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
income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 3, 2021. On March 8, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of
30,000,000
units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $
10.00
per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $
300.0
million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $
17.1
million, of which $
10.5
million was for deferred underwriting commissions (Note 4). The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option to purchase up to an additional
4,500,000
Units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over -allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on March 16, 2021, purchasing an additional
4,500,000
Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) and generating gross proceeds of $
45.0
million. The Company incurred additional offering costs of approximately $
2.5
million, of which approximately $
1.6
million was for deferred underwriting commissions.
Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and
one-fifth
of one redeemable warrant (each redeemable warrant, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $
11.50
per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 5). Such shares of Class A common stock and Public Warrants may trade as separate financial instruments.
Simultaneous with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of
5,333,333
warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $
1.50
per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $
8.0
million (Note 3). Simultaneous with the closing of the sale of Over-Allotment Units, the Company consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an additional
600,000
Private Placement Warrants by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $
900,000
.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the sale of Over-Allotment Units and the Private Placement, $
345.0
million ($
10.00
per Unit) of net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the Sale of Over-Allotment Units and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States 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, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having 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, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
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 net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company only intends to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires
50
% or more of the issued and 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.
