We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 15, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the private placement shares and forward-purchase shares, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
Our sponsor is Khosla Ventures SPAC Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on March 3, 2021. On March 8, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 34,500,000 Public Shares at $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000, and incurring offering costs of $19,660,260, inclusive of $12,075,000 in deferred underwriting fees payable.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the private placement of 990,000 private placement shares at a price of $10.00 per private placement share to the sponsor, generating proceeds of $9,900,000.
Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement, the $345,000,000 of net proceeds from the IPO and certain of the proceeds of the private placement were placed in a Trust Account (“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 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
promulgated under the Investment Company Act that 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.
If we are unable to complete a business combination by March 8, 2023 (24 months from the closing of the IPO), or June 8, 2023 (27 months from the closing of the IPO), if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination by March 8, 2023, and our stockholders have not amended the certificate of incorporation to extend such period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes as well as expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
