We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.
For the six months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $2,408,500, which consisted of operating costs and costs related to a prospective initial Business Combination of $2,367,661 and stock-based compensation of $55,926, partially offset by trust interest income of $15,087.
We will have 15 months (or 18 months if extended) from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination (the “
Combination Period
”). However, if we are unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a
per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company but net of taxes payable (and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
We have also agreed to reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team, in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per month. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Company paid $60,000 under this agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash outside our Trust Account of $343,600, available for working capital needs. All remaining cash was held in the Trust Account and is generally unavailable for our use, prior to an initial business combination.
On August 17, 2021, we completed the sale of 15,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 459,500 shares of common stock (“
Private Shares
”), at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $4,595,000.
In connection with the IPO, the underwriters were granted a
45-day
option from the date of the prospectus for the IPO to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any. On October 1, 2021 this option expired unused.
Following our IPO and the sale of the Private Shares, a total of $150,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $3,537,515 in IPO related costs, including $1,500,000 of underwriting fees and $2,037,515 of other costs.
As of March 31, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $150,016,139 (including $16,139 of interest income) consisting of mutual funds. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes.
For the six months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $313,990. Net loss of $2,408,500 was impacted primarily by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,053,671, stock-based compensation of $55,926, partially offset by trust interest income of $15,087.
