We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
We are 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. We have not selected any specific business combination target and, as of June 30, 2022, we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement of the private placement warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to a forward purchase agreement), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
On May 28, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 22,500,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $225,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 4,333,333 private placement warrants, at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6,500,000.
Of the net proceeds from the IPO and associated private placements, $225,000,000 of cash was placed in the trust account. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. The only activities through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We will generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. We will 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 searching for, and completing, a Business Combination. in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

Going Concern and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $86,000 in our operating bank account, and working capital deficit of approximately $270,000.
Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a payment of certain offering costs of $25,000 from the Sponsor for the Founder Shares, and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $66,366.
We fully paid the note to the Sponsor on December 31, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account.
Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
