(the “Company”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection therewith, the Company entered into the following agreements previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

 

  An Underwriting Agreement, dated May 2, 2022, by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”);
     
  Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association;

On May 5, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”), which includes the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (“Ordinary Share”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”) and one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000.

 

As of May 5, 2022, a total of $203,500,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (as defined below) were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of May 5, 2022 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement will be filed within 4 business days of the consummation of the IPO.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with A SPAC II (Holdings) Corp., the Company’s sponsor, of 8,966,000 private warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $8,966,000.

The Private Warrants are identical to the public Warrants sold in the IPO, as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, except as described in the Warrant Agreement. The warrant agent will not register any transfer of Private Warrants, except for transfers (i) among the initial shareholders or to the initial shareholder’s members or the Company’s officers, directors, consultants or their affiliates, (ii) to a holder’s shareholders or members upon the holder’s liquidation, in each case if the holder is an entity, (iii) by bona fide gift to a member of the holder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the holder or a member of the holder’s immediate family, in each case for estate planning purposes, (iv) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (vi) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination, (vii) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to its consummation of an initial business combination or (viii) in the event that, subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property, in each case (except for clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) or with the Company’s prior written consent) on the condition that prior to such registration for transfer, the warrant agent shall be presented with written documentation pursuant to which each transferee (each, a “Permitted Transferee”) or the trustee or legal guardian for such Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions contained in this Agreement and any other applicable agreement the transferor is bound by.

 

The Private Warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.
