Organization and Business Operations | Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations Metals Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) is a newly incorporated blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 11, 2021. The Company was incorporated 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 has not selected any potential Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any potential Business Combination target. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (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 December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor is Green Mountain Metals LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on July 28, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On August 2, 2021, Company consummated its IPO of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one The underwriters have a 45-day option from the date of the Company’s IPO (August 2, 2021) to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. Substantially with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 5,333,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units being sold in the IPO. Certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors who are unaffiliated with the management team (“Anchor Investors”) each expressed an interest to purchase up to 9.9% of the Units sold in the IPO at the public offering price of the Units offered,. The Anchor Investors purchased a total of 19,575,000 Units or 78.3% of the outstanding Units following this offering (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option), generating $195,750,000 in proceeds, with $191,835,000 deposited in the Trust account, net of underwriters’ commission. In addition, subject to each Anchor Investor purchasing 100% of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor sold membership interests of an aggregate of 1,272,500 founders shares to all Anchor Investors combined. Membership interest were sold at approximately $0.003 per founder share for $1,273. The sale of the membership interest to the Anchor Investors is interest in the Sponsor (and indirect interest in the Company via the Sponsor’s ownership of founder shares) and no new founder shares were issued therefore, the sale of the membership interest to the Anchor Investors had no direct effect on the financial statements. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these founder shares attributable to Anchor Investors to be $11,107,653, or $8.73 per share. The founder shares purchased by the Anchor Investors represent a capital contribution by the Sponsor for the benefit of the Company and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction to the proceeds from the offering and offering expense in accordance with ASC 470 and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. As the IPO included two instruments, Class A ordinary shares and warrants, and as the warrants are classified as a financial liability, it was necessary to allocate the gross proceeds to between Class A ordinary shares and warrants. The Company adopted the residual method to allocate the gross proceeds between Class A ordinary shares and warrants based on their relative fair values. The gross proceeds were first allocated to the fair value of the warrants and the residual amount was then allocated to Class A ordinary shares. The percentage derived from this allocation was then used to allocate deferred offering costs between Class A ordinary shares and warrants. Issuance costs allocated to the warrants was charged to the Company’s current period statements of operations. The maximum purchase of 60% in aggregate of the Units sold in the IPO, or 15,000,000 Units and the sales of membership interest by the Sponsor are collectively called (“Anchor Investment”). Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $14,504,126 consisting of $5,000,000 of underwriting discount, $8,750,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $754,126 of other offering costs. Of the transaction costs, $833,082 is included within accumulated deficit and $13,671,044 is included in additional paid in capital. A total of $250,000,000 was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Upon the closing of the IPO, the Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination (less deferred underwriting commissions). The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of amounts previously disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions held in trust) 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the IPO, management has agreed that an aggregate of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be 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, 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 income taxes, if any, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as discussed below and subject to the requirements of law and regulation, will provide that the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to the Company, until the completion of the initial Business Combination, or (2) to the public shareholders, until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a (A) shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO. Public shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (b) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. 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 general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) 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, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two The ordinary shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will have only 24 months from the closing of the IPO (the “Combination Period”) to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company has not completed the initial 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 The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares they hold, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity 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 consummate the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (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 initial Business Combination within the Combination Period). The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts 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 trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay its tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective partner business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. 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. The Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. Risks and Uncertainties Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statement. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $150,000 in cash and a working capital deficit of $155,000 (excluding deferred offering costs). The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2021 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the Founder Shares (see Note 5) and advances from related parties of $150,000. Subsequent to the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), the Company consummated its IPO (see Note 3) and Private Placement (See Note 4). Of the net proceeds from the IPO and associated Private Placements, $250,000,000 of cash was placed in the Trust Account and $2,226,770 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for the Company’s working capital purposes. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5). As of March 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans. 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 this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial 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 the Business Combination. |
