DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on February 10, 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 or entities (the “Business Combination”). As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 10, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for and efforts toward completing an 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 generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds held in the Trust Account (as defined below). The Company’s Sponsor is 10X Capital SPAC Sponsor II LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 10, 2021. On August 13, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $21.7 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 6). Each Unit is comprised of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”) and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Public Share. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 655,000 Units (the “Private Units”) to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.6 million. Each Private Unit is comprised of one Class A ordinary share (a “private placement share”) and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “private placement warrant”), with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one private placement share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 13, 2021, $200,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units and $12,515 overfunded by Sponsor, which was returned to the Sponsor on August 17, 2021, was placed in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”) and is being invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, subject to applicable law, and (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders. 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 (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 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. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The amount in the Trust Account at March 31, 2023 was $10.27 per Public Share. The Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which the Company adopted upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (as amended on May 10, 2023, the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or vote at all. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, the private placement shares underlying the Private Units and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. The Company has until August 13, 2023, with the option to extend up to six times, by an additional month each time, upon approval by the Company’s board of directors, up until February 13, 2024 (the “Combination Period”) (see discussion below), to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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 the 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, the private placement shares underlying the Private Units, and Public Shares they hold in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares they hold in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period or any extended period of time that the Company may have to consummate the Business Combination as a result of an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period). The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the assets in the Trust Account, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Proposed Business Combination On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 3, 2023, and as may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, 10X AA Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and African Agriculture, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“African Agriculture”). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement and on November 4, 2022, certain anchor investors in the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial 10X II Anchor Investors”) entered into non-redemption agreements (the “Initial Non-Redemption Agreements”) with the Company and the Sponsor. On November 8, 2022, an additional investor of the Company (together with the Initial 10X II Anchor Investors, the “10X II Investors”) entered into a non-redemption agreement (together with the Initial Non-Redemption Agreements, the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with the Company and the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, such 10X II Investors agreed for the benefit of the Company to (i) vote certain of the Company’s Public Shares now owned or acquired (the “Subject 10X II Equity Securities”), representing 3,705,743 Public Shares in the aggregate, in favor of the proposal to amend the Company’s organizational documents to extend the time the Company is permitted to close a Business Combination and (ii) not redeem the Subject 10X II Equity Securities in connection with such amendment to the organizational documents. In connection with these commitments from the 10X II Investors, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to each 10X II Investor an amount of its Class B ordinary shares on or promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination. Standby Equity Purchase Agreement Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with Yorkville Advisors Global, LP (“Yorkville”), pursuant to which, subject to the consummation of the Business Combination, African Agriculture Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“New African Agriculture”) has the option, but not the obligation, to issue, and Yorkville shall subscribe for, an aggregate amount of up to $100 million of New African Agriculture Common Stock at the time of New African Agriculture’s choosing during the term of the agreement, subject to certain limitations, including caps on issuance and subscriptions based on trading volumes. Each advance under the SEPA (an “Advance”) may be for an aggregate amount of New African Agriculture Common Stock purchased at 96% of the Market Price during a one-day pricing period or 97% of the Market Price during a three-day pricing period elected by New African Agriculture. The “Market Price” is defined in the SEPA as the VWAP (as defined below) during the trading day, in the case of a one day pricing period, or the lowest daily VWAP of the three consecutive trading days, in the case of a three day pricing period, commencing on the trading day on which New African Agriculture submits an Advance notice to Yorkville. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of New African Agriculture Common Stock for such date on Nasdaq as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during regular trading hours or such other period in the case of a one-day trading period. The SEPA will continue for a term of three years commencing from the sixth trading day following the closing of the Business Combination (the “SEPA Effective Date”). Pursuant to the SEPA, New African Agriculture will pay to Yorkville a commitment fee of $1.0 million, which is to be paid on the SEPA Effective Date. New African Agriculture can elect to pay the commitment fee by issuing New African Agriculture Common Stock to Yorkville in an amount equal to the commitment fee divided by the average daily VWAP for the five consecutive trading days prior to the SEPA Effective Date. Forward Purchase Agreement Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and African Agriculture entered into an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Vellar Opportunity Fund SPV LLC - Series 8 (“Seller”), a client of Cohen & Company Financial Management, LLC (“Cohen”). Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller intends, but is not obligated, to purchase through a broker in the open market (a) the Public Shares, after the date of the Company’s redemption deadline in connection with a vote to approve the Business Combination from holders of Public Shares, including those who have elected to redeem Shares (such purchased Public Shares, the “Recycled Shares”) pursuant to the redemption rights set forth in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association in connection with the Business Combination and (b) additional Public Shares in an issuance from the Company (such additional Public Shares, the “Additional Shares” and, together with the Recycled Shares, the “Subject Shares”). The aggregate total Subject Shares will be 4,000,000, subject to automatic reduction to equal the amount of the Company’s Public Shares outstanding as of the redemption deadline and subject to increase to up to 10,000,000 upon mutual agreement of the Company and Seller (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination. First Extension On November 9, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved, by special resolution, the proposal to amend and restate the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a Business Combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem all of the Public Shares included as part of the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, from November 13, 2022 to May 13, 2023 (the “First Extension,” and such proposal, the “First Extension Proposal”). In connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies in connection with the First Extension Proposal, the Company was required to permit the public shareholders to redeem their Public Shares. Of the Public Shares outstanding with redemption rights, a total of 212 of the Company’s shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate total of 15,357,970 Public Shares at a per share redemption price of $10.09. As a result of such redemptions, approximately $154.9 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders, and approximately $47.8 million remained in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2023. Following the redemptions and as of March 31, 2023, the Company had 4,642,030 Public Shares, including the Public Shares underlying the Units outstanding, with redemption rights outstanding. Second Extension On May 2, 2023 and May 5, 2023, certain investors of the Company (the “Second Extension 10X II Investors”) entered into non-redemption agreements (the “Second Extension Non-Redemption Agreements”) with the Company and the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Second Extension Non-Redemption Agreements, the Second Extension 10X II Investors agreed for the benefit of the Company to (i) vote certain Public Shares owned or acquired (the “Second Extension Subject 10X II Equity Securities”) in favor of the Second Extension Proposal (as defined below) and (ii) not redeem the Second Extension Subject 10X II Equity Securities in connection with the Second Extension Proposal. IN exchange for these commitments from the Second Extension 10X II Investors, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to the Second Extension 10X II Investors (a) an aggregate of 189,011 Founder Shares in connection with the Second Extended Date (as defined below) and (b) to the extent the Company’s board of directors agrees to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination to the Additional Extension Date (as defined below), an aggregate amount of up to 567,032 Founder Shares, which includes the Founder Shares referred to in clause (a), on or promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination. On May 10, 2023, in connection with the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, shareholders agreed to, among other things, amend the Company’s second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to further extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination (the “Second Extension Proposal”) from May 13, 2023 to August 13, 2023 (the “Second Extended Date”) and to allow the board of directors of the Company, without shareholder approval, to elect to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination after the Second Extended Date up to six times, by an additional month each time, up to February 13, 2024 (the “Additional Extension Date”). Liquidity and Going Concern As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $42,569 in cash and a working capital deficit of approximately $11.4 million. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of approximately $87,000 under an unsecured promissory note. The Company fully repaid the amounts borrowed under the unsecured promissory note upon closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 13, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates provided the Company with $1,162,002 in Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5) (of which up to $1.5 million may be converted at the lender’s option into warrants to purchase the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per share). In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 13, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to complete an initial Business Combination before Combination Period. Over this time period, the Company will be using the funds outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating a Business Combination. |
