NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Vahanna Tech Edge Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on April 22, 2021. The Company was 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 (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 22, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below and search for an acquisition target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Registration Statement”) was declared effective on November 22, 2021. On November 26, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,010,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $200,100,000, which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 8,638,500 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement transaction to Vahanna LLC (the “Sponsor”).
Additionally, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated November 22, 2021, by and between the Company and Mizuho Securities USA LLC, the representative of the underwriters (the “representative”), the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 150,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Representative Shares”), at a purchase price of approximately $3.33 per Representative Share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $500,000. NaN underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Representative Shares was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (see Notes 5 and 6).
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 26, 2021, an amount of $204,102,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined in Note 4) was placed in the Trust Account (as defined below). The funds held in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule
2a-7
of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
As of November 26, 2021, transaction costs amounted to $11,274,404 consisting of $3,480,000 of underwriting fees, $6,525,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $645,904 of Initial Public Offering costs and $623,500 representing the excess of fair value over the purchase price of Founder Shares purchased by the underwriter (see Note 5). These costs were charged to additional
paid-in
capital upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. As described in Note 6, the $6,525,000 deferred underwriting commission is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination within 15 months of the Initial Public Offering (or 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if we have filed a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial Business Combination but have not completed the initial Business Combination within such
15-month
period, or up to 21 months from the Initial Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination), unless the time period to consummate a Business Combination is extended pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”).
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
