SPINDLETOP HEALTH ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Organization, Business Operations and Liquidity
Spindletop Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 17, 2021. The Company was 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 (“Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to the Business Combination.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company has not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 17, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) (as defined below) and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. 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 investments held in the Trust Account.
The Company’s sponsor is Spindletop Health Sponsor Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on November 3, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On November 8, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”) including 3,000,000 Units as part of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”), and
one-half
of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Public Warrant”), with each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $230,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 12,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), including 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants related to the underwriters’ fully exercising their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $12,600,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the IPO, except that, so long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the Sponsor and its permitted transferees: (i) they are not redeemable by the Company, except under certain circumstances when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 (as adjusted), (ii) they (including the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of a business combination, (iii) they are exercisable on a cashless basis and (iv) they are entitled to registration rights.
In connection with the IPO, the Company also granted the underwriters
a 45-day option
to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments. As part of the IPO the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option on the date of the IPO.
Transaction costs amounted to $13,423,194 consisting of $4,600,000 of underwriting commissions, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $773,194 of other offering costs. Of the total offering costs, $12,842,557 was charged to temporary equity and $580,637 is included in the statement of operations.
Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement, $234,600,000 has been placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), representing the redemption value of the Class A common stock sold in the IPO, at their redemption value of $10.20 per share.
The Company’s ability to commence operations was contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the IPO of 23,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, which is discussed in Note 3 and the sale of 12,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor that closed simultaneously with the IPO. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
