Unregistered Sales
On March 19, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs of the Company in consideration of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares. Through March 31, 2023, the Company effectuated a share surrender and share recapitalizations resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 12,937,500 Founder Shares. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 1,687,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full so that the Founder Shares would represent, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On April 25, 2023, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option; thus, 1,250,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering on April 25, 2023, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 14,300,000 Private Placement Warrants, including 1,000,000 additional Private Placement Warrants to cover over-allotments, for an aggregate purchase price of $14,300,000, in a private placement to the Sponsor.
These issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
