The Company was incorporated 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 (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector 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.
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 10, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) described below, and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company
will generate non-operating income in
the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and will recognize changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities as other income (expense).
The Company’s sponsor is Alpha Capital Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 18, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On February 23, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 23,000,000 units, including the issuance of 3,000,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, which is discussed in Note
3
.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 7,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,000,000, which is discussed in Note
4
.
Transaction costs amounted to $13,132,346 consisting of $4,600,000 of underwriting discount, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $482,346 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the IPO on February 23, 2021, $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Trust Account, which can only 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 in money market funds meeting certain conditions
under Rule 2a-7 of
the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earliest of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or (iii) absent an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO (the “Combination Period”), the Company’s return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the Company’s public shareholders as part of the redemption of the Public Shares.
Initial Business Combination
The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
