On June 9, 2021, we entered into an agreement for a proposed initial business combination with Valo Health, a technology company using human- centric data and artificial intelligence (AI) powered computation to transform the drug discovery and development process. Concurrently with such an agreement, we also entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE I Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE I Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE I Investors collectively subscribed for 16,855,000 shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $168,550,000 (the “PIPE I Investment”). On July 30, 2021, we entered into additional subscription agreements (the “PIPE II Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE II Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE II Investors collectively subscribed for an additional 3,231,250 shares of KVSA Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $32,312,500 (the “PIPE II Investment”).
On November 15, 2021, we and Valo Health mutually agreed to terminate the proposed initial business combination based on market conditions, particularly in the biotechnology area. As such, we continue to search for a potential initial business combination target. The PIPE I Investment and PIPE II Investment were also both terminated upon the termination of the proposed initial business combination with Valo Health.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a business combination after our IPO) nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO and the proposed initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We expect to generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
