DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Natural Order Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 10, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

 

The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 related to the Company’s expenses incurred in relation to the pursuit of a business combination, which are described below. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 10, 2020. On November 13, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 which is described in Note 3.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,800,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant in a private placement to Natural Order Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,800,000, which is described in Note 4.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $13,173,201, consisting of $4,600,000 in cash underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $523,201 of other offering costs. Of these total transaction costs, $8,714 related to the issuance of the Private Warrants and were charged to expense and the remaining $13,164,487 were charged to temporary equity.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 13, 2020, an amount of $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States 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 any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

 

The Company has until November 13, 2022 (the “Combination Period”) to complete a Business Combination. As described in Note 10 below, we will be unable to consummate a Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, and we intend to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Company plans to (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 pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware 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 the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless.

 

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares (but not Public Shares acquired in or after the Initial Public Offering) if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period and, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. It is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

 

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $10.00 per Public Share, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Initial Stockholders will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Initial Stockholders will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

Going Concern

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $8,600 not held in the Trust Account and available for working capital needs, and a working capital deficit of approximately $783,000. The Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuing its goals. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Company’s Sponsor, officers or directors who may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time in their sole discretion, in order to meet the Company’s working capital needs.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company will be unable to complete a Business Combination by November 13, 2022, and has ceased all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution and the working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As described in Note 10, the Company will be unable to consummate a Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, and the Company intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 13, 2022.
