Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 15, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger or mergers, amalgamation, share exchange, share purchase, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). Our sponsor is Macondray, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on June 30, 2021. On July 6, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.4 million, of which approximately $8.75 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Initial Private Placement”) of 6,666,667 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant with the Sponsor and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock Inc. (collectively, the “Anchor Investor”), generating gross proceeds of $10.0 million.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Initial Private Placement, $252.5 million ($10.10 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Initial Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) in 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 an Initial 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 (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 (the “Over-Allotment Private Placement”, and, together with the Initial Private Placement, the “Private Placements,” and each warrant issued in the Private Placements, a “Private Placement Warrant”), at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $1,125,000.
