the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will 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 money market funds meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S, government treasury obligations until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to our shareholders, as described below.
Subsequently, on August 5, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the over-allotment units occurred on August 10, 2021. The issuance by us of the over-allotment units at a price of $10.00 per over-allotment unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $37,500,000. On August 10, 2021, simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the over-allotment units, we consummated the sale of an additional 525,000 warrants to the Sponsor and 225,000 warrants to the Anchor Investor, at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $1,125,000.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if we have executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering but have not completed a Business Combination within such 18 month period), or January 6, 2023 or April 6, 2023, as applicable (the “Combination Period”), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity for the period March 15, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021 was for completion of the Initial Public Offering, and since our Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of investment income from our investments held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the period from March 15, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had net income of approximately $8.5 million, which was primarily comprised change in fair value derivative warrant liabilities of $10 million partially offset by $1.1 million of warrant related expenses and general and administrative expenses of $0.4 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of approximately $8.5 million, which was primarily comprised change in fair value derivative warrant liabilities of $10 million partially offset by $1.1 million of warrant related expenses and general and administrative expenses of $0.4 million.
Our business activities since our Initial Public Offering have consisted solely of identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for a Business Combination.
