Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
References to the “Company,” “Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. V,” “Kensington,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. V. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 19, 2021. We were incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
As of March 31, 2023, we had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from March 19, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to our formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
Our sponsor is Kensington Capital Sponsor V LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 12, 2021. On August 17, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 27,600,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which included the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase 3,600,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $276.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $15.7 million, of which approximately $9.7 million and approximately $889,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and offering costs allocated to derivate warrant liabilities, respectively.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (the “Initial Private Placement” and together with the Additional Private Placements (as defined below), the “Private Placements”) of 11,360,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively with the Additional Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $0.75 per Private Placement Warrant to our Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $8.5 million.
Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Initial Private Placement, $276.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Initial Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 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 as described below.
22
On each of August 4, 2022 and February 15, 2023, in connection with the Extensions as described below, we consummated a private placement (each, an “Additional Private Placement” and collectively, the “Additional Private Placements”) of 3,680,000 warrants (each, an “Additional Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $0.75 per Additional Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of an aggregate of $5,520,000. The Additional Private Placement Warrants were purchased by the Sponsor and are substantially similar to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Initial Public Offering. The Additional Private Placement Warrants were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, the Warrant Agreement that we entered into at the time of the Initial Public Offering. Upon closing of the Additional Private Placements, the proceeds received by us in connection with the issuance of the Additional Private Placement Warrants were deposited in the Trust Account.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
We initially had 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate the initial Business Combination. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate the initial Business Combination within 12 months, we may, by resolution of our board of directors at the option of our Sponsor, extend the period of time we will have to consummate an initial Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional 6 months (for a total of up to an additional 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), subject to our Sponsor purchasing additional Private Placement Warrants. Our shareholders will not be entitled to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension. Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles”), in order to extend the period of time to consummate an initial Business Combination in such a manner, our Sponsor must purchase an additional 3,680,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $0.75 per warrant, and deposit $0.10 per each Unit (for an aggregate of approximately $2.8 million), in proceeds into the Trust Account on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each 6-month extension. On August 4, 2022 and February 15, 2023, we elected to extend the Combination Period by 6 months each time to August 17, 2023 (the “Extensions”)
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by August 17, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, 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, net of taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Proposed Business Combination
On April 6, 2023, we entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Arrival, a joint stock company (société anonyme) governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 60A, rue des Bruyères, L-1274 Howald, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and registered with the RCS under number B248209 (“Arrival”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Arrival will cause one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries to cause a joint stock company (société anonyme) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“PubCo”) to be formed as soon as practicable and to become a party to the Business Combination Agreement.
23
The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things, (i) on the closing date, we will merge with and into PubCo (the “Initial Merger”), with PubCo being the surviving entity, (ii) immediately after the effectiveness of the Initial Merger, PubCo will redeem and cancel the shares held by its initial shareholder pursuant to a share capital reduction of PubCo (the “Redemption”), and (iii) immediately following the effectiveness of the Initial Merger and the Redemption, Arrival will merge with and into PubCo (the “Second Merger” and together with the Initial Merger and the Redemption, for purposes of this “Proposed Business Combination” section, the “Business Combination” and the Business Combination together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Transactions”), with PubCo being the surviving entity.
The Initial Merger is to become effective on the date and at the time at which the notarial deed of the sole shareholder’s resolutions of PubCo approving the Initial Merger has been duly published in the Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations (the Luxembourg official gazette), subject to the execution of a plan of merger between PubCo and Kensington (the “Cayman Plan of Merger”) and the registration of the Cayman Plan of Merger and the filing of other documents required under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Cayman Act”) with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Act (the time the Initial Merger becomes effective, the “Initial Merger Effective Time”).
The Redemption is to become effective immediately after the Initial Merger Effective Time, at which point PubCo will redeem and cancel the shares held by its initial shareholder and proceed with a reduction of its share capital for an amount equal to the nominal value of the redeemed shares.
The Second Merger is to become effective on the closing date on the day after the date of the effectiveness of the Initial Merger and the satisfaction of the conditions that are required to be satisfied at or prior to the Second Merger Effective Time, or such other time as Kensington and the Company may agree in writing (the time the Second Merger becomes effective, the “Second Merger Effective Time”).
Immediately prior to the Initial Merger, (i) each Kensington Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 (the “Kensington Class B Ordinary Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time will be converted into and exchanged for one fully paid and nonassessable Kensington Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value (the “Kensington Class A Ordinary Shares” and together with the Kensington Class B Ordinary Shares, the “Kensington Ordinary Shares”), and (ii) each unit of Kensington (consisting of one Kensington Class A Ordinary Share and three-fourths of a Kensington public warrant to purchase Kensington Class A Ordinary Shares (such warrants, the “Kensington Public Warrants” and such units, the “Kensington Units”)) outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time will be detached and the holder thereof deemed to hold one Kensington Class A Ordinary Share and three-fourths of a Kensington Public Warrant in accordance with the terms of the applicable Kensington Unit (such conversion, the “Pre-Merger Conversion”).
At the Initial Merger Effective Time:
(a) | each Kensington Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time but after the Pre-Merger Conversion (other than Kensington Class A Ordinary Shares validly submitted for redemption pursuant to Kensington’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for a number of newly issued ordinary shares of PubCo with an accounting par value per share (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $17.00 by the volume-weighted average price for the Arrival shares with an accounting value per share for each of the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the fourth day prior to the Kensington shareholders meeting; |
(b) | each Kensington Public Warrant and each warrant purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement in connection with Kensington’s initial public offering or in connection with the extensions of the time Kensington has to consummate an initial business combination outstanding after the Pre-Merger Conversion and immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time will cease to be a warrant to acquire Kensington Class A Ordinary Shares and be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant to purchase a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares at an exercise price determined pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2021, by and between Kensington and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent; and |
(c) | if there are any Kensington Ordinary Shares that are owned by Kensington as treasury shares or any Kensington Ordinary Shares owned by any direct or indirect subsidiary of Kensington immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, such Kensington Ordinary Shares will be canceled and cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment or other consideration therefor. |
At the Second Merger Effective Time:
(a) | each Arrival share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist and exchanged for one PubCo Ordinary Share; |
(b) | each Arrival option outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be assumed by PubCo and converted into an option to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares under the equity incentive plan to be adopted by PubCo in connection with the Proposed Transactions (the “Equity Plan”); |
(c) | each award of Arrival restricted shares outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be converted into an award of restricted PubCo Ordinary Shares under the Equity Plan; and |
(d) | each award of Arrival RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be assumed by PubCo and converted into an award of restricted share units representing the right to receive PubCo Ordinary Shares under the Equity Plan. |
The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of both Kensington and Arrival, and, when formed, will be approved by the board of directors of PubCo.
The terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, and other terms relating to the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 7, 2023. The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and incorporated herein by reference.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $1.1 million in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $341,000.
Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from our Sponsor to cover for certain expenses on behalf of us in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4 to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements), and the loan from the Sponsor of approximately $150,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4 to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements), which was converted into a Working Capital Loan (as defined in Note 4 to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements) on August 17, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Initial Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans (see Note 4 to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Working Capital Loan was $150,000.
Based upon the analysis above, our management has determined that we do not have sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated obligations through the liquidation date or the merger date. We have until August 17, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of our company. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the ASC 205-40, our management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business
24
Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after August 17, 2023. Our management plans to complete the business combination with Arrival prior to the mandatory liquidation date and expects to receive financing from our Sponsor or the affiliates of our Sponsor to meet our obligations through the time of liquidation or the completion of the business combination with Arrival; however no financing is currently committed. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Our management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statement. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The specific impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in our ability to complete a Business Combination.
On December 27, 2022, the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued a Notice 2023-2 (“Notice”), which provided interim guidance regarding the application of the corporate stock repurchase excise tax until the issuance of proposed regulations. The Notice excluded the distributions complete liquidation of a corporation from the base of the excise tax. The Notice also excludes from the scope of the excise tax any distribution made during the taxable year in which a corporation fully liquidates and dissolves, even if a distribution precedes the formal decision to liquidate.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from March 19, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 was in preparation for the Initial Public Offering and the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.
25
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of approximately $1.5 million, which consisted of a non-cash loss of approximately $3.2 million for the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $1.0 million in general and administrative expenses, and $20,000 in administrative expenses-related party, partly offset by approximately $2.7 million of income from investments held in the Trust Account.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net income of approximately $12.4 million, which consisted of a non-cash gain of approximately $12.6 million for the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, a non-cash gain of $50,000 for the change in fair value of Working Capital Loan—related party, and approximately $191,000 of income from investments held in the Trust Account, partly offset by approximately $382,000 in general and administrative expenses, and $60,000 in administrative expenses-related party.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,600,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment on August 17, 2021.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or approximately $5.5 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $0.35 per unit, or approximately $9.7 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Service and Administrative Fees
On August 12, 2021, we entered into an agreement with DEHC LLC, an affiliate the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which we agreed to pay for service and administrative fees of $20,000 per month for 18 months (or February 12, 2023). For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $20,000 and $60,000, respectively, for such expenses, included as general and administrative expenses-related party on the statements of operations contained herein. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had paid in full for such services.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
26
Derivative Financial Instruments
We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 27,600,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Offering Costs Associated with Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Net (Loss) Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
27
The calculation of diluted net (loss) income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 39,420,000 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. The Company has considered the effect of Class B ordinary shares that were excluded from the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding as they were contingent on the exercise of over-allotment option by the underwriters. Since the contingency was satisfied, the Company has included these shares in the weighted average number as of the beginning of the period to determine the dilutive impact of these shares. Remeasurement of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net loss per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We are still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the condensed financial statements.
Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 15, 2023, the Company consummated an Additional Private Placement of 3,680,000 Additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $0.75 per Additional Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $2,760,000. The Additional Private Placement Warrants were purchased by the Sponsor and are substantially similar to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Company’s Initial Public Offering. The Additional Private Placement Warrants have been issued pursuant to, and are governed by, the Warrant Agreement that the Company entered into at the time of the Initial Public Offering.
Upon closing of the Additional Private Placement, the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Additional Private Placement Warrants were deposited in the Trust Account. In accordance with the Memorandum and Articles, the Combination Period was extended by six months to August 17, 2023.
