DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Coliseum Acquisition Corp. (“Coliseum” or the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), as described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of investment income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 22, 2021. On June 25, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consisted of one Public Share and one-third of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share (the “Public Warrants”). The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units, which option expired unexercised on August 6, 2021. Transaction costs amounted to $9,176,463, consisting of $3,000,000 of underwriting fees, $5,625,000 of deferred underwriting fees, which was later entirely waived on June 12, 2023 (see Note 6), and $551,463 of other offering costs. The Company was reimbursed $750,000 by the underwriter for such transaction costs upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Prior to the Initial Public Offering, Coliseum Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Previous Sponsor”), purchased an aggregate of 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares” or “Founder Shares”, which term includes the Class A ordinary shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Class B ordinary shares) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.006 per share. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 3,225,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Previous Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $4,837,500, which is described in Note 4. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 25, 2021, an amount of $150,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below. On June 27,2023, the Company transferred its Trust Account out of investment in securities into an interest-bearing bank deposit account in order to mitigate the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company. The Company will provide the holders of its Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account, calculated as of two Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as then in effect (the “Articles”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Previous Sponsor, Berto LLC (the “New Sponsor”), Harry L. You and the Company’s officers and the other holders of Founder Shares immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering (collectively, the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Articles provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent. The Initial Shareholders agreed to waive (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination (ii) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Articles (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of Public Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the time provided for in the Articles (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below). On June 15, 2023, the Company, the Previous Sponsor and the New Sponsor entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Previous Sponsor agreed to sell to the New Sponsor, and the New Sponsor agreed to purchase from Previous Sponsor an aggregate of 2,625,000 Founder Shares and 2,257,500 Private Placement Warrants held by the Previous Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus the New Sponsor’s agreement to fund monthly contributions (the “Contributions”) in connection with the First Extension (as defined below) (such transaction, the “Transfer Transaction”). Prior to the completion of the Transfer Transaction, New Sponsor assigned its right to receive the 2,625,000 Founder Shares to Harry You. The Transfer Transaction was consummated on June 26, 2023, and immediately thereafter the Previous Sponsor elected to convert each of the remaining 1,125,000 Class B ordinary shares it held into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis and Mr. You elected to convert 2,624,999 of the 2,625,000 Class B ordinary shares he held into Class A ordinary shares on a one for one basis, leaving one Class B ordinary share outstanding. In connection with the Transfer Transaction, the Initial Public Offering underwriter waived its deferred underwriting fees. Also in connection with the Transfer Transaction, the Company appointed Charles Wert to serve as its Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the board of directors and Oanh Truong to serve as Chief Financial Officer, Harry You to serve as chairman, and Roland Rapp, Kenneth Rivers and Walter Skowronski to serve on the board of directors. The Company initially had 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or June 25, 2023) to complete a Business Combination, which was later extended as discussed below. On June 22, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “June Meeting”). At the June Meeting, shareholders voted on and approved three proposals: (i) an amendment of the Articles to extend (the “First Extension”) the Combination Period up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time (each, an “Extension Period”), only if the Previous Sponsor or its designee would make Contributions into the Trust Account, as a loan, an amount equal to $100,000 for each monthly Extension Period elected by the Company’s board of directors, (ii) an amendment to the Articles to remove the net tangible asset requirement from the Articles in order to expand the methods that the Company may employ so as not to become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, and (iii) an amendment to the Articles to provide for the right of a holder of the Class B ordinary shares to convert into non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holder. In connection with the Transfer Transaction, the New Sponsor assumed the obligation to make Contributions in connection with each monthly Extension Period elected by the board of directors. Following the approval of the First Extension, the board of directors elected five Extension Periods and the New Sponsor made an aggregate of $500,000 of Contributions, which were deposited into the Trust Account. On November 27, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of annual general meeting of the Company (the “November Meeting”). At the November Meeting, shareholders voted on and approved three proposals: (i) an amendment to the Articles to extend (the “Second Extension”) the Combination Period to June 25, 2024, and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, by resolution of the board of directors, to elect to further extend the Combination Period for an additional three months, until up to September 25, 2024, without requiring the New Sponsor to make any Contributions into the Trust Account, (ii) an amendment to the Articles to permit the board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations prior to the end of the Combination Period, as determined by the board of directors and included in a public announcement, and (iii) the re-election of Walter Skowronski and Harry L. You as Class I directors to serve for a term of three years or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. On September 20, 2024, the Company held another extraordinary general meeting, which was later adjourned to September 24, 2024 (the “September Meeting”). At the September Meeting, shareholders voted to amend the Company’s Articles to extend (the “Third Extension”) the Combination Period to October 25, 2024, and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, to elect to further extend such date up to two times for an additional one month each time, until up to December 25, 2024, provided that the New Sponsor or its affiliate or designee deposits into the Trust Account, as a loan, one business day following the public announcement by the Company disclosing that the board of directors has approved the monthly extension, with respect to each such additional extension, the lesser of (x) $50,000 and (y) $0.04 multiplied by the number of Public Shares then outstanding, up to a maximum aggregate contribution amount of $150,000 if all monthly extensions are exercised (the “New Contributions”). On September 25, 2024 and October 25, 2024, the Company deposited $50,000 of New Contributions each month, for an aggregate amount of $100,000, to extend the Combination Period through November 25, 2024. In connection with the shareholder approval of the First Extension on June 22, 2023, the Second Extension on November 27, 2023, and the Third Extension on September 24, 2024, an aggregate of 9,121,799, and 3,001,840 and 1,089,249 Public Shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $94,696,372, and $32,132,524, and $12,181,639, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 1,787,112 Public Shares outstanding and an aggregate amount of $20,055,086 held in the Trust Account. In connection with the November Meeting, the Company and an affiliate of the New Sponsor, Harry L. You, entered into non-redemption agreements (collectively, the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain of the Company’s existing shareholders and other unaffiliated investors (collectively, the “Non-Redeeming Shareholders”), pursuant to which the Non-Redeeming Shareholders agreed not to redeem an aggregate of 2,023,236 Public Shares and to vote all of such shares in favor of the proposals brought before the November Meeting. In exchange for these commitments from the Non-Redeeming Shareholders, Mr. You agreed to forfeit at the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination an aggregate of 606,971 Founder Shares (the “Forfeited Shares”), and the Company agreed to issue to the Non-Redeeming Shareholders a number of newly issued ordinary shares of the Company in an amount equal to the Forfeited Shares. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (through November 25, 2024), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the New Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the Trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s tax obligations, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the New Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the New Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Business Combination with Rain Enhancement Technologies, Inc. On June 25, 2024, the Company, Rain Enhancement Technologies, Inc. (“RET”), Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Holdco”), Rainwater Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub 1”), and Rainwater Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Old Merger Sub 2”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). On August 22, 2024, Old Merger Sub 2 entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Business Combination Agreement (the “Assignment”) pursuant to which Old Merger Sub 2 assigned to Rainwater Merger Sub 2A, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Coliseum (“Merger Sub 2”, and together with Merger Sub 1, the “Merger Subs”), all of Old Merger Sub 2’s right, title and interest in and to the Business Combination Agreement, and Merger Sub 2 assumed, and agreed to perform, satisfy and discharge in full, as the same become due, all of Old Merger Sub 2’s liabilities and obligations under the Business Combination Agreement arising on, from and after the date thereof. Old Merger Sub 2 was liquidated and dissolved on August 23, 2024. On August 22, 2024, all parties entered into an Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amended Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Business Combination Agreement, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, (i) on the day immediately prior to the date of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing Date”), Coliseum will merge with and into Merger Sub 1 (the “SPAC Merger”) with Merger Sub 1 surviving the SPAC Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco, and (ii) on the Closing Date, following the SPAC Merger and as a part of the same overall transaction, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into Rainwater (the “Company Merger”, and together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”) with Rainwater surviving the Company Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco so that, immediately following completion of the Business Combination, each of Merger Sub 1 and RET will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. The transaction has a $10 million minimum cash condition, among other material conditions to closing. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain shareholders of RET entered into a voting support agreement with the Company and RET (the “RET Support Agreement”), and certain shareholders of the Company, including the Previous Sponsor and New Sponsor, entered into a voting support agreement with the Company and RET (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Previous Sponsor and Mr. You agreed to share, pro rata, in the forfeiture of the Forfeited Shares. Nasdaq Notice of Delisting On June 25, 2024, the Company received a notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, unless the Company timely requests a hearing to appeal the delisting, the Company’s securities would be subject to suspension and delisting at the opening of business on July 5, 2024, due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its Initial Public Offering registration statement. On August 14, 2024, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel notified the Company that it granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq and an exception to Nasdaq IM-5101-2. Specifically, the Company will now have 180 days from the date of the delisting notice, or until December 23, 2024, to complete its Business Combination, provided that the Company provides the Hearings Panel with certain progress updates relating to the status of the Business Combination. Going Concern Consideration As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no cash held outside of the Trust Account and had a working capital deficit of $4,797,417. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In addition, in order to provide the Contributions and New Contributions and to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company issued a convertible note (“the Convertible Note”) to the New Sponsor with a principal amount up to $1.5 million on June 22, 2023 as discussed in Note 5. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $550,000 outstanding under the Convertible Note, which amount was deposited into the Trust Account. On October 25, 2024, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 under the Convertible Note to deposit in the Trust Account as a New Contribution in connection with the extension through November 25, 2024, increasing the aggregate outstanding balance under the Convertible Note to $600,000. In connection with management’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 210-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern Risks and Uncertainties United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets. Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination. |
