SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 21, 2021
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
$200,000,000
Foresight Acquisition Corp. II
20,000,000 Units
Foresight Acquisition Corp. II is a newly incorporated blank check company 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. We have not selected any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
This is an initial public offering of our securities. Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one share of our Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this prospectus, and only whole warrants are exercisable. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination and 12 months from the closing of this offering, and will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as described in this prospectus. Subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus, we may redeem the warrants once the warrants become exercisable. We have also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any.
We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of our Class A common stock upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price described herein, payable in cash, subject to the limitations described herein. If we have not completed our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering (or 21 months from the closing of this offering if we have executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering, or if we extend the period of time to consummate our initial business combination, as described in more detail in this prospectus), or such later date as approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock that are voted at a stockholder meeting held to extend such date, voting together as a single class, we will redeem 100% of the public shares at a per-share price described herein, payable in cash, subject to applicable law and as further described herein.
Our sponsor, Foresight Sponsor Group II, LLC, and FA Co-Investment LLC (an affiliate of one of the underwriters of this offering) have committed to purchase an aggregate of 650,000 units (or 710,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $10.00 per unit ($6,500,000 in the aggregate, or $7,100,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of this offering. We refer to our sponsor and FA Co-Investment collectively as our “sponsors” throughout this prospectus. Each private placement unit consists of one share of our Class A common stock and one-half of one warrant.
In addition, our sponsors have agreed to lend us an aggregate of $4,000,000 (or $4,600,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) as of the closing date of this offering at no interest, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our sponsor loan. The proceeds of the sponsor loan will be added to the trust account (as described in this prospectus) and be used to fund the redemption of our public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) in accordance with the terms set forth in this prospectus. The sponsor loan shall be repaid or converted into units at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit, at the sponsors’ discretion. The sponsor loan units would be identical to the private placement units to be sold to the sponsors concurrently with the closing of this offering. The sponsor loan is being extended in order to ensure that the amount in the trust account is $10.20 per public share. If we do not complete an initial business combination, we will not repay the sponsor loan from amounts held in the trust account, and its proceeds will be distributed to our public stockholders.
As of the date of this prospectus, our initial stockholders hold 5,750,000 shares of our Class B common stock (up to 750,000 of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised). The shares of our Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our Class B common stock will have the right to elect all of our directors and may remove members of our board of directors for any reason. On any other matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders, holders of our Class B common stock and holders of our Class A common stock will vote together as a single class, except as required by applicable law or stock exchange rule.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our units, Class A common stock or warrants. We have applied to list our units on the Nasdaq Global Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “FACQU” on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. We cannot guarantee that our securities will be approved for listing on Nasdaq. The Class A common stock and warrants constituting the units will begin separate trading on the 52nd day following the date of this prospectus (or, if such date is not a business day, the following business day), unless Cowen and Company, LLC informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to certain conditions. Once the securities constituting the units begin separate trading, we expect that the Class A common stock and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “FACQ” and “FACQWS,” respectively.
We are an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our securities involves risks. Please see “Risk Factors” on page 47. Investors will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings.
