NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Organization and Business Operations
Tio Tech A (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 8, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and activities related to the search for a target for the Business Combination. The Company believes it will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company
will generate non-operating income
in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 7, 2021. On April 12, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (the “Units”). The Company granted Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering (the
“Underwriter”), a 45-day option to
purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 15, 2021, the Underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 4,500,000 Units, which purchase settled on April 16, 2021, at $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $345,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share
and one-third
of a redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 5,083,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to Tio Tech SPAC Holdings GmbH, a German limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,625,000, which is discussed in Note 5.
Transaction costs of the Initial Public Offering amounted to $15,383,343 consisting of $5,400,000 of underwriting discount, $9,450,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $533,343 of other offering costs, of which $749,481 were allocated to warrants and charged to expense.
Following consummation of the Initial Public Offering on April 12, 2021 and the settlement of the full exercise of the over-allotment on April 16, 2021, an aggregate of $345,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in United States “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7 promulgated
under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction 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 1940.
