Initial Public Offering, Private Placements and Overfunding Loans
On June 28, 2022, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units, at $10.00 per nit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.0 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the initial public offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per unit. On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, we sold an additional 960,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $9.6 million. On August 7, 2022, the remaining over-allotment option expired unexercised.
On August 10, 2022, we announced that, effective August 15, 2022, the Class A Ordinary Shares and warrants comprising each issued and outstanding unit will commence trading separately under the ticker symbols “SKGR” and “SKGW,” respectively.
Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.6 million. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the partial over-allotment exercise, we completed an additional private placement of 192,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $192,000.
In addition, upon the consummation of the initial public offering on June 28, 2022, our Sponsor provided us with an overfunding loan in the amount of $5.0 million to deposit in the Trust Account at no interest. In connection with the partial over-allotment exercise on July 20, 2022, our Sponsor provided us with a second overfunding loan in the amount of $240,000 to deposit in the Trust Account.
Upon the closing of the initial public offering and the partial over-allotment exercise, approximately $214.8 million ($10.25 per unit) of net proceeds, including the net proceeds of the initial public offering, the partial over-allotment exercise, the proceeds of the overfunding loans and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of 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 Rule2a-7promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.
