ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS Counter Press Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 19, 2021 whose purpose is to enter into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and it has not (nor has anyone on its behalf), initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from May 19, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 8, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). The Company’s sponsor is Counter Press Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). On February 11, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 1,125,000 10.00 86,250,000 Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the issuance and sale of the Units, the Company consummated in the aggregate, the sale of 471,875 10.00 As of February 11, 2022, transaction costs amounted to $ 4,949,909 1,725,000 3,018,750 206,159 The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will complete the initial Business Combination only if the post-transaction company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. Following the closing of the IPO on February 11, 2022, $ 87,543,750 10.15 The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of amounts required to pay its income and franchise taxes), in each case subject to the limitations described herein. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of its proposed Business Combination or allow shareholders to sell their shares to the Company 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. If the Company determine to engage in a tender offer, the Company will file tender offer documents which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares upon approval of any such amendment 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) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. The ordinary shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will have 12 months from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”), the Company may, at the Sponsor’s option, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times without shareholder approval, each for an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a Business Combination) (each such three-month period, an “Extension Period”) or during any Extension Period. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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 less up to $ 100,000 The Sponsor, officers and directors will enter into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they will agree (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founders and private shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame), as described herein and in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.15 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. Because the Company is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and the Company’s operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only third parties the Company currently expect to engage would be vendors such as lawyers, investment bankers, computer or information and technical services providers or prospective target businesses. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 513,081 651,935 The Company’s liquidity needs up to the closing of the IPO on February 11, 2022 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $ 25,000 150,000 In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with Working Capital Loans up to $ 1,500,000 If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, in addition to the access to the Working Capital Loans, we may need to obtain other financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. We have 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to raise additional capital. Risks and Uncertainties Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The military conflict commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation in Ukraine has created and is expected to create further global economic consequences, including but not limited to the possibility of extreme volatility and disruptions in the financial markets, diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in inflation rates and uncertainty about economic and political stability. Such global consequences may materially and adversely affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination. In addition, our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the global economy and the specific impact on our financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination are not yet determinable. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from Congress, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions of its Class A ordinary shares after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with the Business Combination, unless an exemption is available. Issuances of securities in connection with the Business Combination are expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year, but the number of securities redeemed may exceed the number of securities issued. Consequently, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation is uncertain. |
