We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 20, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. We intend to effectuate an initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business Combination after the IPO) nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the period from July 20, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $25,000, which consisted of formation costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, we had no cash. Until the consummation of the IPO, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Founder Shares by the Sponsor and a promissory note from our Sponsor.
Subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report, on November 16, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 25,300,00 Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,300,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $253,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 1,106,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $11,060,000.
Following the IPO, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $258,060,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $16,110,098 in transaction costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,915,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $2,195,098 of other offering costs.
