Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations

Colicity Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 19, 2020. The Company was 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 (the “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to initially focus its search on identifying a prospective target business in the technology, media and telecommunications industries in the United States and other developed countries.

All activity for the period from October 19, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2022, relates to the Company’s formation, its Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is X-icity Holdings Corporation, a Washington corporation (the “sponsor”). The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 23, 2021. On February 26, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the “Units” and the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), including the underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option of 4,500,000 units, at $10.00 per Unit (“Over-Allotment Option”), generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million (the “Initial Public Offering”), and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.8 million, inclusive of approximately $11.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions. On July 19, 2022, one of the Company’s underwriters waived entitlement to deferred underwriting fees payable of $8.2 million (see Note 6). 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 5,933,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Company’s sponsor, X-icity Holdings Corporation, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8.9 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $345.0 million ($10.00 per Unit), consisting of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement, was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States at Bank of America, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will 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”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 26, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten 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 amounts released to pay taxes and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to its obligations under Delaware 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 the warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the 24-month time period.

The initial stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). The financial information as of December 31, 2021, is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Annual Report. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with those of another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $0.2 million in cash available for working capital purposes.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied through the receipt of $25,000 from the sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, and a promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the sponsor (see Note 5). The Company repaid the Note on February 26, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied with the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account.

If the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination exceed the available funds in the operating account, the Comapny would have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the sponsor may, but is not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 26, 2023, then the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten 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 amounts released to pay the Company’s taxes and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case, to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management has determined that the Company’s liquidity needs as well as the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern, should the Company be required to liquidate after February 26, 2023, as it is management’s intent to consummate a business combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available, and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account are in U.S. Treasury Bills or money market funds which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company withdrew an aggregate of $0.4 million of interest earned on the assets held in the Trust Account to pay taxes as permitted.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $18.8 million of which $0.5 million was allocated to the warrant liabilities and expensed immediately and $18.3 million was charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. 

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach for the Private Placement Warrants and market price for the public warrants (see Note 9).

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of the Company’s 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock are subject to possible redemption and are presented at redemption amount as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

The Company classifies all of its shares of Class A common stock as redeemable. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

The Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, is reconciled in the following table:

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as permitted by ASC 740-270-30-18, to calculate its interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate and uses the actual effective tax rate for the year to date as the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate used to determine the income tax expense or benefit for an interim period. The Company believes that the use of the discrete method is currently more appropriate because the Company cannot reliably estimate its annual effective tax rate due to the high degree of uncertainty in forecasting (i) gain or loss from changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities that may occur before the end of the annual reporting period and (ii) interest income from U.S. Treasury securities held in the Trust Account.

The Company’s currently taxable income primarily consists of interest income on funds held in the Trust Account less any franchise taxes. The Company’s general and administrative costs are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $350,000 and $405,000, respectively. The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate was 2.9% and 2.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 0.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory income tax rate primarily due to the recognition of gains and/or losses from the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities and the gain on the relinquishment of deferred underwriting fees, which are not recognized for tax purposes, and recording a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Net Income per Common Share

Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase 12,833,333 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the average market price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was below the warrants’ $11.50 exercise price and the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the periods presented.

The Company has two classes of common shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of common shares. This presentation assumes a business combination as it is management’s intent to consummate a business combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from net income per share as the redemption amount approximates fair value.

The tables below present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for each class of common stock (in dollars, except share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, except for the warrant liabilities (see Note 9).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

Note 3—Initial Public Offering

On February 26, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units, including the underwriters’ exercise of their full Over-Allotment Option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.8 million, inclusive of approximately $11.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions. On July 19, 2022, one of the Company’s underwriters waived entitlement to deferred underwriting fees payable of $8.2 million (see Note 6).

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).

Pendrell Corporation, the parent of the sponsor (“Pendrell”), and an affiliate of Craig McCaw, the Company’s chief executive officer, purchased an aggregate of 400,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering at the public offering price. The underwriters did not receive any underwriting discounts or commissions on the Units purchased by these parties. If the Company submits its initial Business Combination to its Public Stockholders for a vote, its initial stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the initial Business Combination. As a result, in addition to the initial stockholders’ Founder Shares and the shares underlying the Units purchased by these parties in the Initial Public Offering, the Company would need 12,537,501, or 36.3%, of the 34,500,000 Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering to be voted in favor of an initial Business Combination in order to have the initial Business Combination approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted).

Note 4—Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the Private Placement of an aggregate of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s sponsor, X-icity Holdings Corporation, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8.9 million. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the sponsor or its permitted transferees, unless the Company calls for a redemption of all warrants when the reported price of the Class A common stock is at least $10.00 per share and no more than $18.00 per share.

The sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Note 5—Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On October 20, 2020, the sponsor paid for certain offering costs for an aggregate price of $25,000 in exchange for issuance of 7,187,500 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). On February 3, 2021, the Company effected a 312,500 share stock dividend, on February 8, 2021, the Company effected a 1.0541667-for-1 common stock split and on February 23, 2021, the Company effected a 1.0909091-for-1 common stock split, resulting in an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The sponsor transferred 40,250 Founder Shares to each of Wayne Perry, Dennis Weibling and Cathleen A. Massey, independent director nominees; 195,500 Founder Shares to Craig O. McCaw, director and Chief Executive Officer; 115,000 Founder Shares to Randy Russell, former Chief Investment Officer; 97,750 Founder Shares to R. Gerard Salemme, director; 57,500 Founder Shares to Steve Ednie, former Chief Financial Officer; and 329,648 Founder Shares to other directors, officers, employees, consultants and affiliates of Pendrell, in each case for approximately the same per-share price initially paid by the sponsor, resulting in the sponsor holding 7,708,852 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares, on an as-converted basis, represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.

The initial stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Related Party Loans

On October 20, 2020, the sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the Note. The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of May 31, 2021, or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Note was repaid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering out of the $1.0 million of offering proceeds that had been allocated to the payment of offering expenses.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loan may be converted into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on February 23, 2021, and continuing until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will pay an affiliate of the sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $30,000 and $90,000, respectively, in fees for these services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $30,000 and $71,786, respectively, in fees for these services. All fees for these services were paid within their applicable quarter.

The sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates.

Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statement. The registration rights agreement does not provide for any maximum cash penalties nor any penalties connected with delays in registering the Company’s common stock.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might results from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Additionally, management notes that in February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements, and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.

Further, on August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the “IRA”), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because the Company is a Delaware corporation and its securities are traded on Nasdaq, the Company may be a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IRA and any redemptions of the Company’s stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial business combination, may be subject to the Excise Tax. Consequently, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with the Company less appealing to potential business combination targets. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation is uncertain.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters received an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit (excluding the 400,000 units purchased by Pendrell and an affiliate of Craig McCaw as well as 517,500 shares purchased by certain other parties (total of 917,500 shares) with respect to which no underwriting discount is payable), or $6,716,500 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, $0.35 per unit (excluding the 400,000 units purchased by Pendrell and an affiliate of Craig McCaw as well as 517,500 shares purchased by certain other parties (total of 917,500 shares) with respect to which no underwriting discount is payable), or $11,753,875 in the aggregate, was payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions.

On July 19, 2022, the Company and one of the Company’s underwriters entered into an agreement pursuant to which the underwriter waived entitlement to deferred underwriting fees payable of $8.2 million, resulting in a gain of $8.2 million in the Company’s condensed statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The balance of the deferred fees, $3.5 million, will become payable to the remaining underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 7—Stock

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of Class A common stock issued or outstanding classified as equity, as all of the 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding were subject to possible redemption and have been reflected in temporary equity on the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. In October 2020, the Company issued 7,187,500 shares of Class B common stock, on February 3, 2021, the Company effected a 312,500 share stock dividend, on February 8, 2021, the Company effected a 1.0541667-for-1 common stock split and on February 23, 2021, the Company effected a 1.0909091-for-1 common stock split, resulting in an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

Stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as required by law.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Note 8—Warrant Liabilities

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless” basis, and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

If (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 50% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 10 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the sponsor or its permitted transferees, unless the Company calls for a redemption of all warrants when the reported price of the Class A common stock is at least $10.00 per share and no more than $18.00 per share (subject to the conditions described in more detail below). If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may call only the Public Warrants for redemption:

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The Company may call both the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants for redemption:

During this 30-day redemption period in connection with a redemption of warrants when the price of the Class A common stock is at least $10.00 per share and no more than $18.00 per share, the holders of the warrants may elect to receive, in lieu of the redemption price, a number of shares of Class A common stock per warrant determined by reference to the table as set forth in the warrant agreement.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Note 9—Fair Value Measurements

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account totaling $346,832,607 and $345,031,165, respectively, were invested in U.S. Treasury Bills or money market funds which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. Through September 30, 2022, the Company had withdrawn an aggregate of $0.4 million of interest earned on the assets held in the Trust Account to pay taxes as permitted.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 6,900,000 Public Warrants and 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Warrants

The warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations.

The Company established the initial fair value for the warrants on February 26, 2021, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one share of Class A common stock and one-fifth of one Public Warrant), (ii) the sale of Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) the issuance of Class B common stock, first to the warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption (temporary equity) and Class B common stock (permanent equity) based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date.

The warrants were classified as Level 3 at February 26, 2021, due to the use of unobservable inputs. In accordance with the terms of the Units as disclosed in the Prospectus, on April 16, 2021, the shares of Class A common stock and warrants comprising the Units began separate trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, the Company began utilizing the market price to determine the fair value of the Public Warrants and the Public Warrants moved from Level 3 to Level 1.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows:

The Company’s use of a Monte Carlo simulation model required the use of subjective assumptions as follows:

Based on the applied volatility assumption and the expected term to a business combination, the Company determined that the fair value of the warrant liabilities at February 26, 2021, was $17.8 million. On April 16, 2021, the Company transferred Public Warrants with fair value of $9.0 million from Level 3 to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2022, the Company classified the Public Warrants as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy due to low trading volume. Commencing April 16, 2021, only Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 3. The change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities classified as Level 3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the period from February 26, 2021 through September 30, 2021, are summarized as follows:

Note 10— Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through November 9, 2022, the date the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 19, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination utilizing cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, we intend to initially focus our search on identifying a prospective target business in the technology, media and telecommunications industries in the United States and other developed countries. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 23, 2021. On February 26, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the “Units” and the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), including the underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option of 4,500,000 units, at $10.00 per Unit (“Over-Allotment Option”), generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million (the “Initial Public Offering”), and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.8 million, inclusive of approximately $11.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions. On July 19, 2022, one of the Company’s underwriters waived entitlement to deferred underwriting fees payable of $8.2 million.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 5,933,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to our Sponsor, X-icity Holdings Corporation, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8.9 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $345.0 million was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and we had $2.0 million of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $18.9 million in transaction costs, including $6.7 million of underwriting fees, $11.8 million of deferred underwriting fees and $0.3 million of other costs. On July 19, 2022, one of the Company’s underwriters waived entitlement to deferred underwriting fees of $8.2 million.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or February 26, 2023, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from October 19, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2022, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur 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 three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $11.6 million which primarily consists of a gain on relinquishment of deferred underwriting fees of $8.2 million, a gain of $2.2 million from changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1.7 million, partially offset by operating costs of $0.2 million and a $0.3 million provision for income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $19.2 million which primarily consists of a gain on relinquishment of deferred underwriting fees of $8.2 million, a gain of $9.9 million from changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2.2 million, partially offset by operating costs of $0.7 million and a $0.4 million provision for income taxes.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $9.3 million which primarily consists of $9.5 million of changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,440, partially offset by operating costs of $0.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $5.6 million which primarily consists of $6.7 million of changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $23,876, partially offset by operating costs of $0.7 million and warrant offering costs of $0.5 million. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2022, we had $0.2 million of cash available for working capital purposes.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through the Sponsor’s payment of $25,000 of our liabilities in exchange for issuance of 7,187,500 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Founder Shares”), and a promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Sponsor. We repaid the Note on February 26, 2021.

On February 26, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units, including the underwriters’ exercise of their full Over-Allotment Option, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8.9 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $345.0 million was placed in the Trust Account and we had $2.0 million of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $18.9 million in transaction costs, including $6.7 million of underwriting fees, $11.8 million of deferred underwriting fees and $0.3 million of other costs. On July 19, 2022, one of the Company’s underwriters waived entitlement to deferred underwriting fees of $8.2 million.

As of September 30, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $346,832,607. We intend to utilize substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on funds in the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million. Net income of $19.2 million was primarily impacted by the noncash change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $9.9 million, a non-cash gain on relinquishment of deferred underwriting fees of $8.2 million, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2.2 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities which generated $0.2 million of cash from operating activities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million. Net income of $5.6 million was primarily impacted by the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $6.7 million, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $23,876 and changes in operating assets and liabilities which used $0.2 million of cash from operating activities, partially offset by deferred warrant offering costs of $0.3 million.

We intend to utilize the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1.5 million of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment.

If the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination exceed the funds available in the operating account, we would have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by February 26, 2023, then we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten 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 amounts released to pay taxes and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case, to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, we have determined that our liquidity needs as well as the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern, should we be required to liquidate after February 26, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term cash obligations, other than the deferred underwriting commissions described below and an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees on February 23, 2021, and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination or our liquidation.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and securities that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated as of February 23, 2021. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. The underwriters exercised their full Over-Allotment Option concurrent with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on February 26, 2021.

The underwriters were paid an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit (excluding the 400,000 units purchased by Pendrell and an affiliate of Craig McCaw as well as 517,500 shares purchased by certain other parties (total of 917,500 shares) with respect to which no underwriting discount is payable), or $6,716,500 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, $0.35 per unit (excluding the 400,000 units purchased by Pendrell and an affiliate of Craig McCaw as well as 517,500 shares purchased by certain other parties (total of 917,500 shares) with respect to which no underwriting discount is payable), or $11,753,875 in the aggregate, was payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions.

On July 19, 2022, one of our underwriters waived entitlement to deferred underwriting fees of $8.2 million. The $3.5 million remaining balance of the deferred fees as of September 30, 2022, will become payable to the remaining underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates We have identified the following as critical accounting policies:

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold as part of the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature as described in the prospectus for the public offering. In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, redemption provisions not solely within the control of Colicity Inc. require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. As a result, all of our Class A common stock is classified as temporary equity.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides a minimum net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001. However, we believe classifying all of our common stock subject to possible redemption as temporary equity does not invalidate the $5 million requirement as we will not redeem our Class A common stock in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

Public and Private Placement Warrants

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering in accordance with ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”), under which we have determined that the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of derivatives as contemplated in ASC 815, the warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed statements of operations in the period of the change. 

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Recent accounting standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item. As of September 30, 2022, we were not subject to significant market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been 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 (“Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no material associated exposure to interest rate risk.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception and we do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Certifying Officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.  

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than the additional risk factor described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 10, 2022.

We may be subject to the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in the event of a liquidation or in connection with redemptions of our stock after December 31, 2022.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the “IRA”), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities are traded on Nasdaq, we will be a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IRA. While not free from doubt, absent any applicable further guidance, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions of our stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial business combination, unless an exemption is available. Issuances of securities in connection with our initial business combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of our initial business combination) are expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year, but the number of securities redeemed may exceed the number of securities issued. Consequently, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation is uncertain.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On October 20, 2020, our Sponsor paid for certain offering costs for an aggregate price of $25,000 in exchange for issuance of 7,187,500 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. On February 3, 2021, we effected a 312,500 share stock dividend, on February 8, 2021, we effected a 1.0541667-for-1 common stock split and on February 23, 2021, we effected a 1.0909091-for-1 common stock split, resulting in an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. Our Sponsor transferred shares to its independent director nominees and various other directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and Pendrell, in each case for approximately the same per-share price as initially paid by our Sponsor, resulting in our Sponsor holding 7,708,852 Founder Shares. The foregoing issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On February 26, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units, including the issuance of 4,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their Over-Allotment Option in full. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $345.0 million. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and PJT Partners LP acted as joint book-running managers of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-252811). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on February 23, 2021.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Use of Proceeds

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $345.0 million was placed in the Trust Account and we had $2.0 million of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes.

We paid a total of $6.7 million in underwriting fees and incurred $0.3 million for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering and the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer up to $11.8 million in underwriting fees.

On July 19, 2022, one of our underwriters waived entitlement to deferred underwriting fees of $8.2 million.
