PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SK Growth Opportunities Corporation
$200,000,000
20,000,000 Units
SK Growth Opportunities Corporation is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to as our initial business combination. We have not selected any 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. We will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in our identification and acquisition of a target company.
This is an initial public offering of our securities. Each unit has an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, upon the terms and limitations as described herein. The underwriter has a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any.
We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations as described herein. We will have 18 months (or 21 months if we have executed a definitive agreement relating to an initial business combination) from the closing of this offering to consummate an initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months (or 21 months if we have executed a definitive agreement relating to an initial business combination) from the consummation of this offering, we may, by resolution of our board of directors if requested by our sponsor, extend the period of time we will have to consummate an initial business combination up to two times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 24 months from the closing of this offering), subject to our sponsor or its affiliates or designees depositing additional funds into the trust account as set out below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will we have more than 24 months from the closing of this offering to consummate an initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering (or up to 24 months from the closing of this offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), we will redeem 100% of 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 earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and certain conditions as further described herein. Our public shareholders will not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our extension of time to consummate an initial business combination from 18 months to up to 24 months described above or redeem their shares in connection with such extension. However, our shareholders will be entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with a general meeting held to approve an initial business combination or in a tender offer undertaken in connection with an initial business combination if we propose such an initial business combination during any extension period.
Our sponsor, Auxo Capital Managers LLC (our “sponsor”), has committed to purchase an aggregate of 6,600,000 warrants (or 7,200,000 warrants if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full), each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000 (or $7,200,000 if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full), in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of this offering. Such purchase will be funded by SK Inc., an affiliate of our sponsor.
In addition, our sponsor has agreed to lend us $5,000,000 (and up to an additional $750,000 if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full) as of the closing date of this offering at no interest, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as the overfunding loans. The overfunding loans will be repaid upon the closing of our initial business combination or converted into Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share (or any combination thereof), at our sponsor’s discretion, provided that any such conversion may not occur until after the 60th day following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The overfunding loans are being extended in order to ensure that the amount in the trust account is $10.25 per public share. If we do not complete an initial business combination, we will not repay the overfunding loans from amounts held in the trust account, and its proceeds will be distributed to our public shareholders; however, we may repay the overfunding loans if there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such overfunding loans will be funded by SK Inc., an affiliate of our sponsor.
Our initial shareholders currently own 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, up to 750,000 of which are subject to forfeiture by our sponsor for no consideration after closing of this offering depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised. The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of our initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof as described herein. Currently, there is no public market for our securities. We intend to apply to have our units listed on The Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq, under the symbol “SKGRU” We expect that the Class A ordinary shares and warrants comprising the units will begin separate trading on the Nasdaq under the symbols “SKGR” and
