Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 3,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $2.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.0 million. On August 6, 2021, simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 294,081 Private Warrants at $2.00 per Private Placement Warrant (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $588,162.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placement, $229.4 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and will be invested in United States government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or August 6, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), we 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 (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 issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.
Our entire activity from March 10, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021 was related to organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering. Although we consummated the Initial Public Offering, we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had net loss of approximately $5,000, which consisted solely of formation expenses.
For the period from March 10, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2021, we had net loss of approximately $5,000, which consisted solely of formation expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2021, we had no cash and a working capital deficit of approximately $638,965.
Our liquidity needs through June 30, 2021 were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from our Sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, approximately $78,965 of accrued expenses were paid by the Sponsor on behalf of the Company. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan. The Company has since completed its Initial Public Offering 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.
