Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2020-06,
Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
815-40):
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity
, 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 also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted the ASU on February 11, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying the unaudited condensed interim financial statements.
Note 3—Initial Public Offering
On May 3, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.3 million, inclusive of $10.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions.
Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock
and one-fourth of
one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).
The Company granted the underwriters
a 45-day option
from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The option to purchase additional units expired unexercised on June 14, 2021.
Note 4—Related Party Transactions
On February 19, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 of the Company’s offering costs in exchange for issuance of 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). The initial stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units was not exercised in full, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The over-allotment expired unexercised; thus, the 1,125,000 Founder Shares were forfeited on July 16, 2021.
The initial stockholder agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within
any 30-trading
day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholder with respect to any Founder Shares.
Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 5,733,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $8.6 million. If the over-allotment option was exercised in full, the Sponsor could have purchased an additional 600,000 Private Placement Warrants but did not as the option expired unexercised.
