PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, SEPTEMBER 29, 2021
$150,000,000
Seaport Calibre Materials Acquisition Corp.
15,000,000 Units
Seaport Calibre Materials Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as our initial business combination. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
This is an initial public offering of our securities. Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one share of our Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. Only whole warrants are exercisable. The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, and will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as described in this prospectus. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The underwriters have a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of our Class A common stock upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein. If we do not complete our initial business combination within 15 months (or up to 18 months if the period of time to consummate a business combination is extended, as described in more detail in this prospectus) from the closing of this offering, we will redeem 100% of the public shares for cash, subject to applicable law and certain conditions as further described herein.
Our sponsors, Seaport Global Asset Management, LLC (“SGAM”) and Calibre Group, LLC ( “Calibre Group”), together with certain of their controlled affiliates, have committed to subscribe to purchase an aggregate of 5,166,667 warrants (or 5,691,667 warrants if the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional units is exercised in full) at a price of $1.50 per warrant ($7,750,000 in the aggregate, or $8,537,500 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of this offering. We refer to these warrants throughout this prospectus as the private placement warrants. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this prospectus.
Our initial stockholders own an aggregate of 4,312,500 shares of our Class B common stock (up to 562,500 shares of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised), which will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination.
Additionally, certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors who are unaffiliated with us, our sponsors, our directors or any member of our management team, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our “anchor investors,” have each expressed an interest to purchase up to 9.9% of the units sold in this offering at the public offering price of the units offered hereby, for a total of 49.5% of the units sold in this offering, and we have agreed to direct the underwriters to sell to the anchor investors such amount of units. However, because expressions of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, they may determine to purchase more, fewer or no units in this offering or the underwriters may determine to sell more, fewer or no units to the anchor investors. If these investors purchase the full 49.5% of the units they have expressed an interest in purchasing, the anchor investors would own approximately 39.6% of the outstanding shares following this offering (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option).
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our units, Class A common stock or warrants. We have applied to list our units on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “SCMAU”. We expect that our units will be listed on Nasdaq on or promptly after the date of this prospectus. We cannot guarantee that our securities will be approved for listing on Nasdaq. We expect the Class A common stock and warrants comprising the units will begin separate trading on the 52nd day following the date of this prospectus unless Seaport Global Securities LLC (“Seaport Global”), the representative of the underwriters, which we refer to in this prospectus as Seaport Global, informs us of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, we expect that the Class A common stock and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “SCMA” and “SCMAW” respectively.
We are an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 42 for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities. Investors will not be entitled to protections normally afforded to investors in Rule 419 blank check offerings. Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Does not include certain fees and expenses payable to the underwriters in connection with this offering. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” for a description of underwriting compensation payable to the underwriters.
Seaport Global Securities LLC, an underwriter of this offering and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has several relationships with the Company, including: Stephen Smith is our Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of SGAM, an affiliate of Seaport Global Securities LLC. Therefore, Seaport Global Securities LLC has a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the Conduct Rules of FINRA. Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with the applicable provisions of FINRA Rule 5121, which requires that a “qualified independent underwriter,” as defined by the FINRA rules, participate in the preparation of the registration statement and exercise the usual standards of due diligence with respect to the registration statement that an underwriter would exercise on its own behalf. Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) is acting as the qualified independent underwriter. Chardan will receive $100,000 of the underwriting discount for acting as the qualified independent underwriter and will not be reimbursed any expenses incurred as a qualified independent underwriter.
Of the proceeds we receive from this offering and the sale of the private placement warrants described in this prospectus, $152,250,000 or $175,087,500 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full ($10.15 per unit in either case) will be deposited into a trust account in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and $2,500,000 will be available to pay fees and expenses in connection with the closing of this offering and for working capital following the closing of this offering. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders.
The underwriters are offering the units for sale on a firm commitment basis. The underwriters expect to deliver the units to the purchasers on or about , 2021.
