Organization and Business Operations | Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations Organization and General 8i Acquisition 2 Corp (the “Company”) is a newly incorporated company incorporated on January 21, 2021, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location (excluding China). The Articles of Association prohibit the Company from undertaking the initial business combination with any entity that conducts a majority of its business or is headquartered in China (including Hong Kong and Macau). As of October 31, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through October 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the proposed initial public offering (the “IPO”) described below. The Company 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 IPO. The Company has selected July 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company will have 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months, with extension of two times by an additional three months each time) to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period, it will trigger its automatic winding up, liquidation and subsequent dissolution pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Law. Accordingly, no vote would be required from the Company’s shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As of March 18, 2021, the Company was sponsored by 8i Holdings Limited, a Limited Liability Exempted Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 24, 2017. On April 12, 2021, 8i Holdings Limited transferred their founder shares (as defined below) to 8i Holdings 2 Pte Ltd (the “Sponsor”), a Singapore Limited Liability Company incorporated on April 1, 2021. The Trust Account Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement, $ 86,250,000 The funds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest solely in United States government treasuries. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations, the proceeds will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. Liquidity and Capital Resources At October 31, 2021, the Company had $ 0 in cash and working capital deficit of $ 371,079 (excluding deferred offering costs). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO (as described in Note 3) was declared effective on November 22, 2021. On November 24, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 10.00 86,250,000 Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company sold to its Sponsor 292,250 10.00 2,922,500 Offering costs amounted to $ 5,876,815 1,725,000 3,018,750 649,588 483,477 100 25,000 87,114,830 On January 21, 2021 and February 5, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,437,500 25,000 0.017 15,000 718,750 12,500 2,156,250 Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from the filing of IPO 8-K form.
