Description of Organization and Business Operations | Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations RCF Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Cayman Islands on June 9, 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’s sponsor is RCF VII Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end. All activity for the period from June 9, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Public Offering”), and activities related to pursuing merger opportunities. The Company will not generate operating revenues prior to the completion of a Business Combination and will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on Permitted Investments (as defined below) from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering. The registration statement for the Company’s Public Offering was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2021. The Public Offering closed on November 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,700,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary share (“Private Placement Warrants”) for $1.00 each, or $11,700,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement on the Closing Date (the “Private Placement”). The Company intends to finance a Business Combination with proceeds from its $230,000,000 Public Offering (see Note 3) and $11,700,000 Private Placement (see Note 4). At the Closing Date, proceeds of $241,700,000, net of underwriting discounts of $4,600,000 and $2,500,000 designated for operational use were deposited in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”) as described below. Transaction costs amounted to $13,267,977, consisting of $12,650,000 of underwriters fees of which $8,050,000 was for Deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 8) and $617,977 of other offering costs. Of the $241,700,000 total proceeds from the Public Offering and Private Placement, $234,600,000 was deposited into the Trust Account on the Closing Date. The funds in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations (collectively “Permitted Investments”). Funds will remain in the Trust Account except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to pay taxes. The proceeds from the Public Offering and Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of a Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not consummated a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity. Of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account, $296,235 was used to repay a loan from the Company’s Sponsor and the remainder may be used to pay business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions, listing fees and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a target business. The Company is focused on sponsoring the public listing of a company that combines attractive business fundamentals with, or with the potential for strong environmental, social and governance principles and practices through a Business Combination. As used herein, the target business must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any Deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement. After signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, the Company will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve a Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account was $10.20 per public share on the Closing Date. The per share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by any Deferred underwriting commissions payable to underwriters. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirements. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding of Class A ordinary shareholders vote in favor of a Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, after payment of the Deferred underwriting commission. In such an instance, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination. The Company has 18 months from the Closing Date to complete its Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes 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 earned on the funds in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Initial Shareholders (as defined in Note 4 below) and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4 below) if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the Closing Date. However, if the Initial Shareholders acquire public shares after the Closing Date, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted 18-month time period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to any Deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination and those amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares will reduce the book value of the shares held by the Sponsor, who will be the only remaining shareholder after such redemptions. If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with a Business Combination, a Public Shareholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes. As a result, such shares are recorded at their redemption amount and classified as temporary equity on the balance sheets, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $41,276 in its operating bank accounts, $238,041,214 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a business combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and working capital of ($331,676). As of December 31, 2022, $3,441,214 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is unavailable to fund operating expenses. Until the consummation of a business combination, the Company will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account primarily to find and evaluate target businesses, perform business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company anticipates that the cash held outside of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2022, will not be sufficient to allow the Company to operate until May 15, 2023, the date at which the Company must complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by May 15, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The Company issued the Sponsor Convertible Note to the Sponsor (see Note 4), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 from the Sponsor for ongoing expenses reasonably related to the business of the Company and the consummation of the Business Combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor. Prior to the completion of the initial business combination, the Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than its Sponsor or an affiliate of its Sponsor as the Company do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $500,000 in outstanding borrowings under the Sponsor Convertible Note with a fair value of $100,000. If the Company completes the initial business combination, the Company will repay any loaned amounts. In the event that the Company’s 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 to repay such loaned amounts. Going Concern In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” while the Company expects to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital under the Sponsor Convertible Note, there is no current obligation on the part of the Sponsor to provide additional capital and no assurances can be provided that such additional capital will ultimately be available if necessary. Management has determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to the need to obtain additional capital from Sponsor to address the Company’s liquidity condition, which the Sponsor is not obligated to advance, and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after May 15, 2023. |
