ALPHA HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP. III
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Alpha Healthcare Acquisition Corp. III is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and 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 has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target. While the Company may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any business or industry, it intends to focus its search on companies in the healthcare industry.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity from January 21, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, relates to the Company’s formation and the Public Offering (as defined below).
The registration statement for the Company’s Public Offering was de
c
lared effective on July 26, 2021. On July 29, 2021 (“IPO Date”), the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000, which is described in Note 3. In connection with the IPO, the Company also granted the underwriters a
45-day
option to purchase an additional 2,250,000 Public Units at the initial public offering price.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 455,000 Units (each, a “Private Placement Unit” and, collectively, the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to AHAC Sponsor III LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $4,550,000, which is described in Note 4.
At the IPO Date, transaction costs amounted to $3,461,151, consisting of $3,000,000 of underwriting fees and $461,151 of other offering costs. The Company has also accrued underwriting fees of $5,250,000 that will be paid only if a business combination is entered into. In addition, cash of $1,550,000 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes.
At the IPO date, the Sponsor also transferred to certain investors a total of 225,000 of Founders shares (Note 4) (“Non-Risk Incentive Private Shares”) as a compensation for their commitment to purchase the Public Units sold in the IPO. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these shares to be $1,186,448, or $5.27 per share. The fair value of the Non-Risk Incentive Private Shares was determined to be a contribution from the sponsor for offering costs in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T. These offering costs were allocated to the Units and charged to shareholder’s equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
At the IPO date, the Sponsor also transferred to certain other investors the total of 600,900 of Founders shares (“Risk Incentive Private Shares”) as a compensation for their commitment to acquire at least 9.9% of the Units sold in the IPO. These Risk Incentive Private Shares are subject to forfeiture if the investors sell their Units prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination. The fair value of these Risk Incentive Private Shares is equal to the fair value of the Non-Risk Incentive Private Shares. Due to the high probability of forfeiture, the fair value of these Risk Incentive Private Shares will be recorded as a capital contribution from the Sponsor upon the closing of the initial Business Combination.
Underwriters exercised their option to purchase 444,103 additional Units for the total amount of $4,441,030. Resulting from the partial over-allotment exercise, the Company also issued 8,882 Private Placement Units, generating additional $88,820 in gross proceeds. Transaction costs related to the Underwriters’ partial over-allotment exercise amounted to $92,070, consisting of $88,820 of underwriting fees and $3,250 of other offering costs. The Company has also accrued underwriting fees of $155,435 that will be paid only if a business combination is entered into.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 29, 2021, an amount of $154,441,030 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, including the Units sold upon the exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a) (16) of 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 meeting the conditions of Rule
2a-7
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company. Except for the withdrawal of interest income to pay the income taxes, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and subject to the requirements of law and regulation, provides that none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial
Business Combination activity. 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 Company’s public shareholders.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination.
The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in trust and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete an initial Business Combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the 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. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
