Overview
We are a newly organized blank check company incorporated on April 16, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
Our sponsor is Fat Projects PTE. LTD., a Singapore corporation (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on October 12, 2021. On October 15, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 11,500,000 Units, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase 1,500,000 units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Transaction costs amounted to $10,791,607 consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting commissions, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $554,107 of other offering costs and $5,062,500 of fair value in excess of consideration paid with respect to the Founder Shares sold to the anchor investors, and was all charged to shareholder’s equity.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we (i) consummated the private placement of 2,865,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement, generating gross proceeds to us of $2,865,000, and (ii) issued to Hutton and/or its designees, 115,000 Class A ordinary shares.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, an amount of $115,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will invest only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated 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 us to pay our tax obligations and up to $100,000 of interest that may be used for our dissolution expenses, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the placement warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or certain amendments to our charter prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we does not complete our initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO at the election of we subject to satisfaction of certain conditions or as extended by our shareholders in accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or 15 months if we have filed a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial business combination within 12 months from the consummation of this offering but have not completed the initial business combination within such 12-month period, or up to 21 months if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more detail in this prospectus), subject to applicable law.
