Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 17,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit for a total of $175,000,000 (the “
”). Each Unit consists of one Public Share, and
one-half
of one warrant (“
”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
The Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are
non-redeemable
so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrant.
The Company evaluated the Public and Private Warrants under ASC
815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
, and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity (deficit). Specifically, the exercise of the Public and Private Warrants may be settled in cash upon the occurrence of a tender offer or exchange that involves 50% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Because not all of the Company’s shareholders need to participate in such tender offer or exchange to trigger the potential cash settlement and the Company does not control the occurrence of such an event, the Company concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Warrants do not meet the conditions to be classified in equity. Since the Public and Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at its initial fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the statement of operations at each reporting date.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock forfeited. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 13,625,000 shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of loss per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for class A Common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on investments held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.
Net income per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income or income on investments attributable to class A Common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable class A and B common stock outstanding for the period.
Non-redeemable common stock includes Founder Shares class B common stock and non-redeemable shares of class A common stock as these shares do not have any redemption features. Non-redeemable common stock participates in the income or loss on investment securities based on non-redeemable shares’ proportionate interest.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2024, can be applied using either a modified retrospective or a fully retrospective method of transition and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance
sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021. 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.
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial, and administrative support services provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on March 19, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.
The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option from March 16, 2021, to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. At June 30, 2021, the underwriters had not exercised any of the over-allotment units. Because the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option, 656,250 shares of Class B Common Stock were forfeited at no cost on May 3, 2021, so that total Class B Common Stock were reduced from 5,031,250 to 4,375,000 shares (Note 5). The forfeited shares returned to the authorized but unissued shares of the Class B Common Stock of the Company.
