Administrative Support
Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on August 9,
2021, to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per
month for administrative, financial and support services. Upon the
completion of an initial Business Combination, the Company will
cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 the Company incurred expenses of $30,000 and $60,000,
respectively, under the agreement.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters purchased Units at a purchase price of $9.80 per
unit (i.e., at a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or
$4,600,000 in the aggregate) upon the closing of the Initial Public
Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment in full on August
12, 2021. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the underwriters a
deferred underwriting fee of up to $0.35 per unit, or $8,050,000 in
the aggregate, which would be payable to the underwriters upon the
consummation of an initial Business Combination, except that the
Company’s management team would be permitted, in its sole
discretion, to allocate up to 50% of the deferred underwriting fee,
or $4,025,000 in the aggregate, to third parties that assist in
identifying and consummating an initial Business Combination. On
July 25, 2022, the Company’s board of directors passed a unanimous
written consent whereby it decided not to pay or allocate to any
third party, including Credit Suisse, any of the remaining 50%, or
$4,025,000 in the aggregate, of the deferred underwriting fee.
Forward Purchase Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering,
the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement with our
Sponsor which provides for the purchase of an aggregate of
10,000,000 Class A ordinary shares plus an aggregate of 3,333,334
redeemable warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares at $11.50
per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000, in the
private placement. The obligations under the forward purchase
agreement do not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are
redeemed by the Company’s public shareholders.
The forward purchase securities will be issued in connection with
the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from
the sale of forward purchase securities will be used as part of the
consideration to the sellers in the Company’s initial Business
Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business
Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction
company.
On March 23, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Merger
Agreement, the Company entered into the A&R FPA with our
Sponsor and OmniAb. Pursuant to the A&R FPA, the Company has
agreed that, in connection with the consummation of the proposed
OmniAb Business Combination, they will issue and sell to our
Sponsor 1,500,000 shares of APAC Common Stock and warrants to
acquire 1,666,667 shares of APAC Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $15.0 million with such purchases to be
consummated immediately following the re-domestication to Delaware
and prior to the proposed OmniAb Business Combination. In addition,
our Sponsor has agreed to purchase up to an additional 10,000,000
shares of APAC Common Stock and up to an additional 1,666,667
warrants, for an aggregate additional purchase price of up to
$100.0 million, in order to backstop shareholder redemptions to the
extent such redemptions would result in the cash proceeds to be
received by OmniAb stockholders from the Trust Account to be less
than $100.0 million. The A&R FPA also provides that in the
event the Merger Agreement is terminated by Ligand under
circumstances in which the Termination Fee (as defined in the
Merger Agreement) would be payable under the Merger Agreement,
Ligand shall pay our Sponsor a termination fee of $12.5 million in
connection therewith.
As a result of the A&R FPA, the Company evaluated the
modification of the equity contract, which resulted in a
reclassification between equity and a liability, in which the
difference between the fair value at issuance of the original
forward purchase agreement and the fair value at issuance of the
A&R FPA (the modification date) was treated as a deemed
dividend. An amount of $225,000 was recorded to accumulated deficit
as a deemed dividend upon modification of the forward purchase
agreement on March 23, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed
consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during
the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from
those estimates. We have identified the following critical
accounting policies:
