Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On February 3, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain offering and formation costs in consideration for 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). On March 5, 2021, the Company effected a 1.2 to 1 share recapitalization with respect to its Class B ordinary shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. Up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised. On October 29, 2021, as a result of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor forfeited 381,250 of these Founder Shares and the remaining Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture (see Note 8).

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances (the “lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

 

In addition, subject to each Anchor Investor purchasing 100% of the Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor sold membership interests reflecting an allocation of an aggregate of 1,625,000 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors collectively. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares attributable to Anchor Investors to be approximately $9.68 million, or $5.96 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares and the Public Warrant was all charged to shareholder’s equity upon the completion of the IPO.

 

Promissory Note—Related Party

 

On February 2, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the closing of the IPO. As of September 24, 2021, the Company had borrowed $188,805 under the promissory note, which was fully repaid on September 30, 2021. On September 30, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to provide the Company with loans in such amounts as may be required by the Company to fund the Company's working capital requirements up to an aggregate of $250,000, and no amounts have been drawn upon this loan commitment.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”) on a non-interest basis. If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. At September 30, 2021, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

 

Administrative Service Fee

 

On September 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Kingstown Capital Management L.P., an affiliate of the Sponsor, pursuant to which it will also pay a total of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the Company’s management team. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or a liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. As of September 30, 2021, $4,500 has been accrued.

 

Forward Purchase Agreement

 

On September 21, 2021, the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement pursuant to which certain affiliates of the Sponsor (“Kingstown”) agreed to purchase up to 5,000,000 forward purchase Class A ordinary shares (“Forward Purchase Shares”), for $10.00 per share, or an aggregate amount of up to $50,000,000, in a private placement that will close concurrently with the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, subject to approval by the Kingstown investment committee. The proceeds from the sale of these Forward Purchase Shares, together with the amounts available to the Company from the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares) and any other equity or debt financing obtained by the Company in connection with the Business Combination, will be used to satisfy the cash requirements of the Business Combination, including funding the purchase price and paying expenses and retaining specified amounts to be used by the post-Business Combination company for working capital or other purposes. To the extent that the amounts available from the Trust Account and other financing are sufficient for such cash requirements, Kingstown may purchase less than 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares. In addition, Kingstown’s commitment under the forward purchase agreement will be subject to approval of its investment committee prior to the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Accordingly, if Kingstown’s investment committee does not give its approval, Kingstown will not be obligated to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares. Further, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the amount of Forward Purchase Shares that Kingstown may purchase pursuant to the forward purchase agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the forward purchase agreement, Kingstown will have the option to assign its commitment to one of its affiliates and up to $5,000,000 to members of the Company’s management team or Board of Directors. The Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the IPO, except that they will be subject to transfer restrictions and registration rights.
