NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 25,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, $0.0001 par value, and one third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 8).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering and the subsequent closing of Over-Allotment Units, the Sponsor purchased 7,000,000 and 310,297 Private Placement Warrants, respectively, at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $7,310,297.
Each Private Placement Warrant is identical to the units offered in the Initial Public Offering, except there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to private placement shares or private placement warrants, which will expire worthless if we do not consummate a business combination within the Combination Period.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On January 18, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,625,000 of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On May 18, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Class B shares, resulting in an aggregate of 7,187,500 Founder Shares issued and outstanding. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 937,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will collectively own, on an
as-converted
basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). On July 2, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and 549,630 Class B Ordinary Shares were subsequently forfeited for no consideration.
The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a business combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or similar transaction that results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of ordinary shares for cash, securities, or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
30-trading
day period commencing at least 150 days after the business combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the
lock-up.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On January 20, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note is
non-interest
bearing and is payable on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. On May 20, 2021, the $300,000 outstanding under the Note was repaid in full
and cancelled.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a business combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. No amounts were borrowed under the facility as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Administrative Support Agreement
Commencing on May 20, 2021, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Proposed Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company had incurred and paid $30,000 and $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and $60,000 and $20,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the Period from January 18, 2021 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 2021, respectively.
