We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on
August 25, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger,
amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase,
reorganization or other similar business combination with one or
more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We intend to
effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the
proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Initial Public
Offering”) and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as
defined below), our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares
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.
Business Combination Agreement
On April 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business
Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination
Agreement”), by and among J1 Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands
exempted company (“PubCo”), J2 Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands
exempted company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo
(“Merger Sub 1”) and J3 Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted
company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub
2”) and Grab Holdings Inc. a Cayman Islands exempted company
(“Grab”).
The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other
things, the following transactions on the closing date:
(i) the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub 1, with
Merger Sub 1 as the surviving company in the merger and, after
giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned
subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”), (ii) following the
Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into Grab, with
Grab as the surviving entity in the merger and, after giving effect
to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo
(the “Acquisition Merger”). The Initial Merger, the Acquisition
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business
Combination”.
On December 1, 2021, the Company merged with and into Merger Sub 1,
with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement. The combined company is
operating under the name “J2 Holdings Inc.,” which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Grab Holdings Limited.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any
revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been
organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our
Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for our
initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any
operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business
Combination. We generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held
in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a
public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and
auditing compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct due
diligence on prospective Business Combination candidates.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net
income of $83,708,515, which consisted of
non-cash
gains of $49,582,029 and $41,941,059 related to changes in the fair
value of the Warrants and FPAs, respectively, interest income on
marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $21,794 and
operating costs of $7,836,367. For the three months ended September
30, 2021, we had net income of $49,385,333, which consisted of
non-cash gains of $24,983,421 and $31,354,748 related to changes in
the fair value of the Warrants and FPAs, respectively, interest
income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,682
and operating costs of $6,960,518. For the period from
August 25, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020,
we had a net loss of $5,000, which consisted of formation and
operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $57,423 in its cash
account, $500,021,794 in securities held in the Trust Account to be
used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its
common stock in connection therewith and a working capital
deficiency of $6,768,904. As of September 30, 2021, $21,794 of the
amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income,
which is available for payment of taxes and expenses in connection
with the liquidation of the Trust Account.
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be
required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which
could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the
pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any
assurance that new financing will be available to it on
commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
Prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the
Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a
$25,000 capital contribution from the Sponsor in exchange for the
issuance of the Founder Shares to the Sponsor, and a $300,000
promissory note payable to the Sponsor.
On October 5, 2020, we completed the Initial Public Offering
of 50,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the
underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of
5,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $500,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 12,000,000
Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per
Private Placement Warrant generating gross proceeds of
$12,000,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private
Placement Warrants, a total of $500,000,000 was placed in the Trust
Account, and we had $1,961,900 of cash held outside of a trust
account (the “Trust Account”) after payment of costs related to the
Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital
purposes. We incurred $28,244,738 in transaction costs, including
$10,000,000 of underwriting fees, $17,500,000 of deferred
underwriting fees and $744,738 of other costs.
As of September 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in
the Trust Account of $500,021,794 (including approximately $21,794
of unrealized gains) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a
maturity of 185 days or less.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in
operating activities was $888,394. Net income of $83,708,515 was
affected by an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our
Trust Account of $21,794, change in fair value of warrant
liabilities of $49,582,029, change in fair value of FPA liability
of $41,941,059, and changes in operating assets and liabilities,
which provided $6,947,973 of cash. As of September 30, 2020,
we had no cash.
