Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. Our board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any further stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness in connection with our business combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Offering
On October 21, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 11,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment of 1,500,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Craig-Hallum Capital Group acted as the joint book-running managers for the IPO. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statements on Form S-1 (No. 333-259912). The SEC declared the registration statements effective on October 18, 2021.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated the private placement of 675,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit to our sponsor and the representative of the underwriters and/or certain of their designees or affiliates, generating gross proceeds of $6,750,000. This issuance of Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Units are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
A total of $117,300,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in the trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account are invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations 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 of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
In connection with the IPO, we incurred transaction costs of $2,822,937, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting commissions and $522,937 of other offering costs. $2,686,076 was charged to temporary equity and $136,861 was charged to additional paid-in capital.
There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units as is described in our final prospectus dated October 18, 2021 and filed with the SEC on October 21, 2021.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
