ANGEL POND HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Angel Pond Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 18, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effectuating a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
Our only activities from inception to September 30, 2021
were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Public Offering”) and identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 12, 2021. On May 20, 2021 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to Class A ordinary shares included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000, which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 7,000,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1 per warrant in a private placement to Angel Pond Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,000,000, which is described in Note 4.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 20, 2021, an amount of $250,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of
Rule 2a-7 of
the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to the Company’s
, as described below.
In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters were granted an option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On June 30, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and on July 2, 2021, the underwriters purchased 1,551,482 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,514,820. On July 2, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company completed a private placement with the Sponsor for an additional 310,297 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $310,297. Approximately $15,514,820 of the net proceeds from the Over-Allotment Units and Additional Private Placement Warrants have been deposited in the Trust Account.
Transaction costs amounted to $15,137,827 consisting of $5,310,293 of underwriting fees, $9,293,019 of deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6) and $534,515 of other
costs. $514,236 of the total underwriting costs were expenses in connection with the warrant liability and the balance was charged to equity. In addition
, $753,772 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NYSE rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units, will be held in a trust account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions
of Rule 2a-7 of
the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
