Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on February 5, 2021 as a Cayman Island exempted company and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report as our “initial business combination”. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
Proposed Business Combination
On March 23, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Ligand”), OmniAb, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ligand (“OmniAb”), and Orwell Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which we will combine with OmniAb, Ligand’s antibody discovery business (the “OmniAb Business”), in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. Also on March 23, 2022, and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, (a) the Company, Ligand, OmniAb and Merger Sub entered into that certain Employee Matters Agreement (the “Employee Matters Agreement”), (b) OmniAb and our Sponsor entered into that certain sponsor insider letter agreement (the “Sponsor Insider Agreement”) with the Company and certain insiders of the Company (the “Insiders”) and (c) we amended and restated that certain forward purchase agreement, dated August 9, 2021, by entering into the amended and restated forward purchase agreement (the “A&R FPA”), by and among the Company, our Sponsor and OmniAb.

Table of Contents
Immediately prior to the Merger (as defined below) and pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2022, among the Company, Ligand and OmniAb (the “Separation Agreement”), Ligand will, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement, transfer the OmniAb Business, including certain related subsidiaries of Ligand, to OmniAb and, in connection therewith, will distribute (the “Distribution”) to Ligand stockholders 100% of the common stock of OmniAb, par value $0.001 (the “OmniAb Common Stock”).
Immediately following the Distribution, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into OmniAb (the “Merger”), with OmniAb continuing as the surviving company in the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Merger Agreement, along with the Separation Agreement and the other transaction documents to be entered into in connection therewith, provides for, among other things, the consummation of the following transactions (collectively, the “OmniAb Business Combination”): (i) we will redomicile by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and with Section 206 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) at least one business day prior to the closing of the proposed OmniAb Business Combination (the “Domestication”), (ii) Ligand will transfer the OmniAb Business (the “Separation”) to its wholly-owned subsidiary, OmniAb, and contribute $15 million in capital thereto (less certain transaction-related and other expenses), and (iii) following the Separation, Ligand will distribute 100% of the shares of OmniAb Common Stock, to Ligand stockholders by way of the Distribution. Following the completion of the foregoing transactions and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the parties shall consummate the Merger. The Distribution and Merger are intended to qualify as “tax-free” transactions.
Upon consummation of the proposed OmniAb Business Combination, and after the Domestication, we will have one class of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“APAC Common Stock”), which will be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “OABI”. Our then-outstanding warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “OABIW”.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
At the time the proposed OmniAb Business Combination is effected (the “Closing”), each share of OmniAb Common Stock outstanding after the Distribution and immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into a number of shares of APAC Common Stock based on an exchange ratio determined by reference to a pre-money equity value for OmniAb of $850 million. Holders of OmniAb options, restricted stock units and performance stock units (determined after the Distribution and the division of Ligand equity awards into both Ligand equity awards and OmniAb equity awards pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement) will have their awards rolled over into equity awards of the Company and adjusted pursuant to the exchange ratio.
In addition, at the Closing, holders of OmniAb Common Stock and equity awards will also receive the OmniAb Earnout Shares, with 50% of such earnout shares vesting upon the combined company’s achievement of a post-transaction volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of $12.50 per share of APAC Common Stock for any 20 trading days over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, and the remainder vesting upon achievement of a post-transaction VWAP of $15 per share of APAC Common Stock for any 20 trading days over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, in each case provided such vesting occurs during the five-year period following the Closing.
In connection with the proposed OmniAb Business Combination, upon the Domestication (i) all issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of APAC Common Stock, (ii) all issued and outstanding warrants will convert automatically into warrants to acquire shares of APAC Common Stock and (iii) all issued and outstanding Units will separate and convert automatically into one share of APAC Common Stock and one-third of one warrant to purchase APAC Common Stock.
Separation and Distribution Agreement
On March 23, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into the Separation Agreement with OmniAb and Ligand, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Ligand will undertake a series of internal reorganization and restructuring transactions to effect the transfer of its (direct or indirect) ownership of the OmniAb Business to OmniAb in the Separation and (ii) immediately prior to the Merger and after the Separation, Ligand will distribute 100% of the outstanding shares of OmniAb Common Stock to Ligand’s stockholders in the Distribution.
The Separation Agreement also sets forth other agreements among Ligand and OmniAb related to the Separation, including provisions concerning the termination and settlement of intercompany accounts and the obtaining of necessary governmental approvals and third-

party consents. The Separation Agreement also sets forth agreements that will govern certain aspects of the relationship between Ligand and OmniAb after the Distribution, including provisions with respect to release of claims, indemnification, access to financial and other information and access to and provision of records.
Employee Matters Agreement
On March 23, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Ligand, OmniAb and Merger Sub entered into the Employee Matters Agreement, which will provide for employee-related matters in connection with the transaction, including allocation of benefit plan assets and liabilities between Ligand and OmniAb, treatment of incentive equity awards in the Distribution and the proposed OmniAb Business Combination and related covenants and commitments of the parties. Each existing Ligand equity award will generally be split into (i) a new Ligand equity award and (ii) a new OmniAb equity award, with any accrued value in the original Ligand equity award split between such awards based on the relative post-Closing values of Ligand and OmniAb.
Sponsor Insider Agreement
On March 23, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, OmniAb and our Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Insider Agreement with the Company and the Insiders, pursuant to which, among other things, the Insiders agreed to vote any of our securities held by them to approve the proposed OmniAb Business Combination and the other Company shareholder matters required pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and not to seek redemption of any of their Company securities in connection with the consummation of the proposed OmniAb Business Combination. Pursuant to the Sponsor Insider Agreement, our Sponsor also agreed to subject up to 1,916,667 Earnout Founder Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Insider Agreement), to the same price-based vesting conditions as the OmniAb Earnout Shares.
Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement
On March 23, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into the A&R FPA with our Sponsor and OmniAb. Pursuant to the A&R FPA, we have agreed that, in connection with the consummation of the proposed OmniAb Business Combination, we will issue and sell to our sponsor 1,500,000 shares of APAC Common Stock (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and warrants to acquire 1,666,667 shares of APAC Common Stock (the “Forward Purchase Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15.0 million with such purchases to be consummated immediately following the Domestication and prior to the proposed OmniAb Business Combination. In addition, our sponsor has agreed to purchase up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of APAC Common Stock (the “Backstop Shares”) and up to an additional 1,666,667 warrants, (The “Backstop Warrants” and, together with the Forward Purchase Shares, Forward Purchase Warrants and Backstop Shares, the “Forward Purchase and Backstop Securities”) for an aggregate additional purchase price of up to $100.0 million, in order to backstop shareholder redemptions to the extent such redemptions would result in the cash proceeds to be received by OmniAb stockholders from the Trust Account to be less than $100.0 million. The A&R FPA also provides that in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated by Ligand under circumstances in which the Termination Fee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) would be payable under the Merger Agreement, Ligand shall pay our sponsor a termination fee of $12.5 million in connection therewith.
Certain Other Transaction Documents
Certain additional agreements will be entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Separation Agreement and the other agreements described above, including, among others:
● a Tax Matters Agreement by and among Ligand, OmniAb and the Company, which governs, among other things, Ligand’s, OmniAb’s and the Company’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes, tax attributes and the preparation and filing of tax returns and responsibility for and preservation of the expected tax-free status of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and the Merger Agreement; and certain other tax matters;
● an Amended and Restated Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement by and among the Company, our sponsor and the other parties signatory thereto, pursuant to which our the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined herein) will be amended and restated in order to, among other things, provide certain equityholders of OmniAb as of immediately prior to the Closing of the proposed OmniAb Business Combination with customary registration rights; a Transition Services Agreement by and between Ligand and OmniAb, pursuant to which Ligand will, on a transitional basis, provide OmniAb with certain support services and other assistance after the Closing; and

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 and for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination, which is described below. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income or gains on investments on the cash and investments held in a Trust Account (as defined below) from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $4,361,240, which resulted from formation and operating costs of $3,821,215 and the change in fair value of Forward Purchase and Backstop Securities of $591,310, partially offset by unrealized gains on investments held in the Trust Account of $51,285.
For the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $7,786, which resulted entirely from formation and operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 net cash used in operating activities was $255,342, which was due to our net loss of $4,361,240 and unrealized gain on investments held in Trust Account of $51,285, partially offset by a change in operating assets and liabilities of $3,565,873 and change in fair value of Forward Purchase and Backstop Securities of $591,310.
For the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $0, which was due to our net loss of $7,786, which was fully offset by formation costs paid by our Sponsor in exchange for issuance of Class B ordinary shares.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $500,000 from the proceeds of the convertible promissory note from our Sponsor.
On August 12, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Each unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share (the “Public Shares”), $0.0001 par value, and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,233,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), including 900,000 Private Placement Warrants that were issued pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option in full, at a price of $1.50 per unit ($12,350,000 in the aggregate). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest income (if any) to pay income taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest income earned on the amount in the Trust Account (if any) will be sufficient to pay our franchise and income taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as
24

consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $434,629 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $4,364,603. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through the Business Combination as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate the Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period, which will end on February 12, 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Contractual Obligations
Promissory Note - Related Party
On February 12, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to our Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate of $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021 or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The Company’s Sponsor paid certain offering costs totaling $55,725, which was included in the outstanding balance of the Promissory Note as of March 22, 2021, and the Company borrowed $119,275 on June 23, 2021. On August 12, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $175,000. The Promissory Note is no longer available to the Company.
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note pursuant to the Working Capital Loans terms with our Sponsor (the “Sponsor Working Capital Loan”) to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate of $750,000. The Sponsor Working Capital Loan is non-interest bearing and payable upon the earlier of (i) completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. The unpaid principal balance on the Sponsor Working Capital Loan may be convertible into warrants at the option of our Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the promissory note is $500,000.
Administrative Support Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on August 9, 2021, to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for administrative, financial and support services. Upon the completion of an initial Business Combination, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, and for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, the Company incurred expenses of $30,000 and $0, respectively, under the administrative support agreement.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and exercise of the over-allotment in full on August 12, 2021. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Forward Purchase Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement with our Sponsor which provides for the purchase of an aggregate of 10,000,000 Class A ordinary shares plus an aggregate of 3,333,333 redeemable warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares at $11.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000, in the private placement. The obligations under the forward purchase agreement do not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Company’s public shareholders.

Table of Contents
The forward purchase securities will be issued in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities will be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Company’s initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company.
On March 23, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into the A&R FPA with our Sponsor and OmniAb. Pursuant to the A&R FPA, the Company has agreed that, in connection with the consummation of the proposed OmniAb Business Combination, they will issue and sell to our Sponsor 1,500,000 shares of APAC Common Stock and warrants to acquire 1,666,667 shares of APAC Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15.0 million with such purchases to be consummated immediately following the re-domestication to Delaware and prior to the proposed OmniAb Business Combination. In addition, our Sponsor has agreed to purchase up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of APAC Common Stock and up to an additional 1,666,667 warrants, for an aggregate additional purchase price of up to $100.0 million, in order to backstop shareholder redemptions to the extent such redemptions would result in the cash proceeds to be received by OmniAb stockholders from the Trust Account to be less than $100.0 million. The A&R FPA also provides that in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated by Ligand under circumstances in which the Termination Fee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) would be payable under the Merger Agreement, Ligand shall pay our Sponsor a termination fee of $12.5 million in connection therewith.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging . For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as assets or liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. The Forward Purchase and Backstop Securities contained within the A&R FPA are classified as derivatives in the condensed consolidated balance sheet with changes in the fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the 23,000,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
Warrants
We evaluated the Warrants in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” and concluded that there were no indexation or tender offer provisions in the Warrant Agreement that precluded the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity, and the Warrants meet the criteria in ASC 815-40-25 to be classified in shareholders’ equity. Fair value of the Public and Private Placement Warrants was determined by an independent valuation expert as of August 12, 2021 using a Monte Carlo Model. Proceeds from the IPO and subsequent partial exercise of the over-allotment option allocated to the Public
26
Table of Contents
Warrants was an aggregate $9,813,334 ($9,232,604, net of offering costs) and is recorded in additional paid-in capital. Proceeds from the issuance of the Private Placement Warrants were $12,350,000 ($12,298,375, net of offering costs) and is recorded in additional paid-in capital.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 15,900,000 shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
