PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
None.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, except as set forth below. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
We have no operating history and are subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement if we do not complete our initial Business Combination by June 16, 2023 (which is subject to monthly extensions through August 16, 2023). As such, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not consummate an initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame. If we are unable to effect an initial Business Combination by the applicable date, we will be forced to liquidate.
We are a blank check company and have no operating history. Because we are subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not consummate an initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame, subject to Extensions, as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our financing and acquisition plans. Our plans to raise capital and to consummate our initial Business Combination may not be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has since completed its IPO at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the trust account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes. The Company used these funds primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses to complete an initial business combination.
Because the Company’s initial estimates of the costs of completing an initial business combination were less than the actual amount necessary to do so, it had insufficient funds available to operate the business prior to the initial business combination. Furthermore, because the term for entering into a business combination has been extended as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) the Company has needed to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating its business through such extension dates. If the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination due to insufficient available funds, it will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or any affiliates of the Sponsor, may continue to, but are not obligated to, loan funds to the Company on a non-interest basis as may be required. In the event that an initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, identical to the private placement warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the sponsor or any affiliates of the Sponsor. Additionally, the Company could suspend payments on the administrative service agreement (as discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) to conserve working capital.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $189,000 in cash and approximately $3,882,000 in working capital deficiency.
The Company currently has less than 12 months to complete a Business Combination and if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial Business Combination, it is required to liquidate and dissolve. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”, management has determined that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination during the combination period, it will cease all operations and redeem the Public Shares.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
The securities in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-256381). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on November 10, 2021. On November 16, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 23,000,000 Units, each consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of the 9,400,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, DHIP Natural Resources Investments, LLC.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
In connection with the vote on the Extension Amendment at the Special Meeting held on February 8, 2023, stockholders holding a total of 9,155,918 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, $94,489,075 was withdrawn from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders.
ITEM 3. | DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES |
None.
ITEM 4. | MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES |
Not applicable.
On May 12, 2023, the amount of $692,204 was deposited into the Company’s Trust Account to extend the Company’s time to consummate a business combination under the Trust Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2021, as amended on February 8, 2023, by and between the Company and Trustee, from May 15, 2023 to June 15, 2023.
On May 19, 2023, the Company amended and restated the previously issued unsecured promissory note dated as of January 12, 2023 (the “Promissory Note”) to Trident Point 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Trident Point 2”), to (i) eliminate Trident Point 2’s option to convert the aggregate amount outstanding under the Promissory Note into warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant, and (ii) extend the Maturity Date (as defined below) thereunder from August 15, 2023 to August 15, 2023 (or such later extension date permitted by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) in the event the stockholders of the Company approve a further amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to extend the period to consummate a Business Combination (as defined below)). The Company may borrow under the Promissory Note for costs reasonably related to the Business Combination. All unpaid principal under the Promissory Note will be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) August 15, 2023 (or such later extension date permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation in the event the stockholders of the Company approve a further amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to extend the period to consummate a Business Combination) (the “Maturity Date”) or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”).
The foregoing description of the amended and restated Promissory Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Promissory Note, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The following exhibits are filed as part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
