We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business Combination after our Initial Public Offering) nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through March 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net income of $7,629,083, which consists of the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $8,707,588 and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $24,320, offset by general and administrative expenses of $1,102,825.
For the period from January 13, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,610,097 which consists of transaction costs incurred in connection with warrant liability of $609,973, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $872,184 and general and administrative expenses of $131,660, offset by interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $3,720.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 9, 2021 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,578,466 units (the “Units”) which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,078,466 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $255,784,660. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,127,129 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings Sponsor II, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,690,693.
Transaction costs amounted to $14,564,011, consisting of $5,115,693 of underwriting fees, $8,952,463 of deferred underwriting fees and $495,855 of other offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $122,078. Net income of $7,629,083 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $24,320 and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities of $8,707,588. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $980,747 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from January 13, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,309,327. Net loss of $1,610,097 was affected by formation cost paid by Sponsor in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares of $5,000, interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $3,720, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities of $872,184, and transaction costs incurred in connection with warrants of $609,973. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $1,182,667 of cash for operating activities.
As of March 31, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $255,830,678 consisting of money market funds invested in U.S. Treasury Securities. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance
sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance
sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any
off-balance
sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any
non-financial
assets.
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on March 4, 2021, to pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred and accrued $30,000 in fees for these services. For the period from January 13, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $10,000 in fees for these services.
