Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Levere Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 15, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The
Company generates non-operating income in
the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The Company’s sponsor was Levere Holding GG Ltd. (“Levere GG”), a U.K private company limited by shares. On March 23, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Goggo Network GmbH, a German company limited by shares and Levere GG, pursuant to which Levere GG transferred 6,413,571 Class B ordinary shares it holds in the Company to Goggo Network Gmbh. Upon the transfer of shares, Goggo Network Gmbh became the new sponsor of the 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 March 18, 2021. On March 23, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of
25,000,000
units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at
$10.00
per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one-third of 1 redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per whole share (each whole warrant, a “Public Warrant”).
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of 4,666,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4 (the “IPO Private Placement”).
On March 31, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 2,128,532 Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $21,285,320, incurred $425,706 in cash underwriting fees, and forfeited the remainder of the option.
Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company completed the sale of an additional 283,804 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $425,706, which is discussed in Note 4 (the “Over-Allotment Private Placement”, and together with the IPO Private Placement, the “Private Placements”).
Transaction costs of the IPO and the over-allotment option amounted to $15,722,172 consisting of $5,425,706 of underwriting discount, $9,494,986 of deferred underwriting discount, and $801,480 of other offering costs of which $618,405 were allocated to expense associated with the warrant liability.
Following the closing of the IPO on March 23, 2021, and closing of the over-allotment option on March 31, 2021, $271,285,320 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and over-allotment, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as discussed below and subject to the requirements of law and regulation, provide that the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to the Company, until the completion of the initial Business Combination, or (2) to the Public Shareholders (as defined below), until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elect to redeem, subject certain limitations described herein, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company has not consummated its Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of IPO (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law. Public Shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (b) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Public Shareholders.
