KIMBELL TIGER ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Corporation is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 9, 2021. As used herein, “the Company” or “TGR” refer to Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Corporation and its majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiary, Kimbell Tiger Operating Company, LLC (“Opco”), unless the context indicates otherwise. The Company is 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”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 relates to the IPO and activities around identifying a business combination target. 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 on cash and cash equivalents and amounts held in trust from the proceeds derived from the IPO (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is Kimbell Tiger Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). In May 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain expenses of the Company in exchange for the issuance of (i) 5,750,100 shares of TGR’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B common stock”), and (ii) 2,500 shares of TGR’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”). Also in May 2021, TGR paid $25,000 to Opco in exchange for the issuance of 2,500 Class A units of Opco. In May 2021, the Sponsor received 100 Class A units of Opco in exchange for $1,000 and 5,750,000 Class B units of Opco (which are profits interest units only). The Company refers to the 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock and corresponding number of Class B units of Opco (or the Class A units of Opco which such Class B units will convert) collectively as the “Founders Shares.” The Founders Shares consists of Class B units of Opco (and any Class A units of Opco into which such Class B units are converted) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, which together will be exchangeable for shares of TGR’s Class A common stock after the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided herein. The Company refers to the 100 Class A units of Opco (and corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock (which together will be exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock after the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis)) and the 2,500 shares of our Class A common stock as the “Sponsor Shares.”
The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 4, 2022. On February 8, 2022, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), including 3,000,000 additional Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise in full of its over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at $10.00 per Unit and consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of
public warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $230,000,000, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12,650,000, inclusive of $8,050,000 in deferred underwriting commissions. The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 14,100,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $14,100,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase for $11.50 one share of Class A common stock, or, in certain circumstances, one Class A unit of Opco together with a corresponding number of shares of TGR’s non-economic Class B common stock.
Following the IPO, the Public Stockholders (as defined below) hold a direct economic equity ownership interest in TGR in the form of shares of Class A common stock, and an indirect ownership interest in Opco through TGR’s ownership of Class A units of Opco. By contrast, the Initial Stockholders of the Company (as defined below) own direct economic interests in Opco in the form of Class B units and a corresponding non-economic voting equity interest in TGR in the form of shares of Class B common stock.
Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement, $236,900,000 of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and are invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of 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, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
7
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the 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 (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account) 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-business combination company controls 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
The Company will provide the holders (the “Public Stockholders”) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”) 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) by means of a tender offer. Unless otherwise stated herein, the term “Public Shares” includes the 2,500 shares of Class A common stock held by the Sponsor. 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 $10.30 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 underwriter (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 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 reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Charter”), 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 have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO 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 Amended and Restated Charter 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”)), will be 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.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (May 8, 2023) (or up to 21 months, if the sponsor exercises its option to extend to August 8, 2023 and November 8, 2023 (each, an “extension option”), upon deposit of an amount equal to $0.10 per Public Share (the “extension fee”) into the Trust Account, to cause us to extend the available time to consummate our initial Business Combination by three months, which extension option the sponsor may exercise up to two times) (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 10 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 (which interest will be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, and of which no interest earned will be used to fund operational expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares and Class A units of Opco (other than those held by TGR), which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining Public Stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
8
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed (i) that any Founder Shares and Sponsor Shares held by them will not be entitled to redemption rights, and they will waive any such redemption rights for any Public Shares held by them, in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) that any Founder Shares and Sponsor Shares held by them will not be entitled to redemption rights, and they will waive any such redemption rights for any Public Shares held by them, in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our Amended and Restated Charter in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, (iii) that any Founder Shares held by them are subject to forfeiture, and thus will not be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account, and they will waive any such rights to liquidating distributions for any Founder Shares, if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period), and (iv) in certain limited circumstances the Class B units of Opco will have more limited rights to current or liquidating distributions from the Company.
The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and subsequently liquidates 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 $10.30. 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 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) $10.30 per Public Share or Class A Unit of Opco not held by TGR and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share or Class A Unit of Opco not held by TGR held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.30 per Public Share or Class A Unit of Opco not held by TGR 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 underwriter of the IPO 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, 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.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern Consideration
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $0.1 million in its operating bank accounts, excluding the amounts held in the Trust Account. In the event additional resources are needed 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, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined below) (see Note 4).
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern, management has determined the liquidity condition and the inability to satisfy its obligations raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern from the date that these unaudited condensed financial statements are filed, if it does not complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination period. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period; however, completing a Business Combination is not entirely within the Company’s control. Therefore, the Company does not have sufficient cash flows to satisfy obligations to creditors upon liquidation and therefore, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might arise as a result of uncertainties about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, are unaudited, and do not include all the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise
9
disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2023. The effect of these reclassifications had no impact on previously reported stockholder’s equity or net income. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
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.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled operating subsidiary after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances as of March 31, 2023. The ownership interest of non-controlling participants in the operating subsidiary is included as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.
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 balance sheet primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value Measurement
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used to measure investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, characteristics specific to the investment, market conditions and other factors. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements).
Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets will typically have a higher degree of input observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:
● | Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used. |
● | Level II—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level II pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
● | Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the investment is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the investment. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment |
10
within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment. |
The Company’s Permitted Investments, which were invested on February 9, 2022 are classified as Level 1.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023.
Trust Account
Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement, $236.9 million of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with 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, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described herein.
The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses from changes in fair value, and dividends and interest relating to these investments are included in Interest earned on securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations.
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 depository insurance coverage.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A “Expenses of Offering.” The Company incurred offering costs in connection with the IPO. These costs, together with the underwriter discount and Deferred Discount (as defined in the underwriting agreement), were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Public Offering.
Stock Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. The fair value of equity awards has been estimated using a market approach. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.
The Class B common stock and the Class B units of Opco were granted subject to a performance condition, namely the occurrence of a Business Combination. This market condition is considered in determining the grant date fair value of these instruments using a closed form barrier option model. Compensation expense related to the Class B common stock and Class B units of Opco is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence, or more specifically when a Business Combination is consummated. Therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
11
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated 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.
FASB 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023. 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.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $0.5 million of income tax expense, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet. The effective tax rate used to calculate the income tax expense was 21%. As of March 31, 2022, there was a deferred tax asset of $1.4 million related to the net operating loss generated, offset by a valuation allowance of $1.4 million as a result of the realization of the tax benefit of the net operating loss carryforward prior to expiration. The effective tax rate used to calculate the deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2022 was 21%. The Company reversed the valuation allowance and used its deferred tax asset during 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3—INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On February 8, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 23,000,000 Units, including 3,000,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $230,000,000, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12,650,000, inclusive of $8,050,000 in deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of
redeemable warrant, or 11,500,000 redeemable warrants in the aggregate (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of TGR’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.NOTE 4—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
In May 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 in exchange for issuance of (i) 5,750,100 shares of TGR’s Class B common stock and (ii) 2,500 shares of TGR’s Class A common stock. Upon a liquidation of Opco, distributions generally will be made to the holders of Opco units on a pro rata basis, subject to certain limitations with respect to the Class B units of Opco, including that, prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination, such Class B units of Opco will not be entitled to participate in a liquidating distribution.
Also in May 2021, TGR paid $25,000 to Opco in exchange for issuance of 2,500 Class A units of Opco. In May 2021, the Sponsor received 100 Class A units of Opco in exchange for $1,000 and 5,750,000 Class B units of Opco (which are profits interest units only).
The Company refers to the 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock and corresponding number of Class B units of Opco (or the Class A units of Opco into which such Class B units will convert) collectively as the “Founder Shares.” The Founder Shares consist of Class B units of Opco (and any Class A units of Opco into which such Class B units are converted) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, which together will be exchangeable for shares of TGR’s Class A common stock after the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
12
The Class B units of Opco will convert into Class A units of Opco in connection with 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. The Founder Shares consist of Class B units of Opco (and any Class A units of Opco into which such Class B units are converted) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, which together will be exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock after 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 excess of the amounts sold in the IPO and related to the closing of the Business Combination, the number of Class A units of Opco into which the Class B units of Opco will convert may be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Founder Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-exchanged basis, 20% of the sum of the total outstanding shares of TGR’s common stock upon completion of the IPO, plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination). In addition, the number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock will be adjusted through a stock split or stock dividend so that the total number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock corresponds to the total number of Class A units of Opco outstanding (other than those held by TGR) plus the total number of Class A units of Opco into which the Class B units of Opco are entitled to convert.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares held by them (and any shares of Class A common stock acquired upon exchange of Founder Shares) until one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (i) the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, 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 (ii) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 14,100,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for a price of $11.50 to purchase one share of TGR’s Class A common stock. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO 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.
With certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Warrants and the securities underlying such warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.
Related Party Loans
The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to operate its business through the Combination Period. In the event additional resources are needed 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 loan the Company funds as may, but are not obligated to, 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. 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, a portion of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. 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. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
The Sponsor, 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 or directors, or their affiliates.
13
Administrative Support Agreement
Commencing on the date the Company’s securities were first listed on New York Stock Exchange, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $25,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services provided to members of the management team. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
NOTE 5—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 and 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. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of such securities.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of IPO to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting commissions. On February 4, 2022, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full. The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, payable upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriter will be entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit. The deferred fee will become payable to the 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.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is currently evaluating 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 this consolidated financial statement. The consolidated financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 6—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Class A Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 225,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2023, there were 23,002,500 shares of Class A common stock issued or
.Class B Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of
March 31, 2023, there were 5,750,100 shares of Class B common stock and outstanding.
Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except as required by law. Each share of common stock will have one vote on all such matters.
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 March 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or
.14
Warrants
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 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, provided 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 the initial Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of the Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.
The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Proceeds from the issuance of the warrants are included in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, if the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the 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 board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Newly Issued Price.
Redemption of warrants when our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share:
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash:
● | in whole and not in part; |
● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
● | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and |
● | if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
The Company will not redeem the warrants for cash unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption for cash as described above, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”
In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. 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 7—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any additional subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
15
On May 3, 2023, TGR determined that it will redeem all of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock included as part of the units issued in its initial public offering and the 2,500 shares of Class A common stock forming part of the sponsor shares, effective as of the close of business on May 22, 2023, as TGR will not consummate an initial business combination on or prior to May 8, 2023. Based on the amount held in trust as of March 31, 2023, the per-share redemption price for the TGR public shares is expected to be approximately $10.56. The public shares of TGR will cease trading as of the close of business on May 8, 2023. As of the close of business on May 9, 2023, the public shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the redemption amount. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless. The sponsor has waived its redemption rights with respect to TGR’s outstanding common stock issued before TGR’s initial public offering.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 9, 2021 formed 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. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the sale of the private placement warrants our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We have until May 8, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination before that date, the sponsor may, but is not obligated to, cause us to extend the available time to consummate our initial business combination by three months. In order to exercise the extension option, our sponsor must deposit into the Trust Account $0.10 per public share (a total of $2,300,000) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. The sponsor may exercise the extension option up to two times to August 8, 2023 and to November 8, 2023, allowing for up to an additional six months (for a total of 21 months) to complete an initial business combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account. 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 March 31, 2023, we had a net income of approximately $1.7 million, which consisted of interest income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, offset by operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of approximately $0.6 million, which consisted of formation and operating expenses, offset by interest income earned on the amounts held in Trust.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Consideration
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete an initial 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. As of March 31, 2023, we had cash on hand of $0.1 million, excluding the amounts held in the Trust Account.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, management has determined the liquidity condition and its inability to satisfy its obligations in the event of liquidation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, if it does not complete a business combination prior to the end of the business combination period.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We intend to complete a business combination within the combination period.
We intend to use 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 an initial business combination.
The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to operate its business through the Combination Period. In the event additional resources are needed to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that an initial 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. Upon completion of a business combination, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination.
If mandatory liquidation occurs, we may not have sufficient resources to pay our creditors based on our working capital deficit. If the Sponsor elects to exercise the extension option and deposits additional amounts to the Trust Account, those proceeds will not be available for use in operations, but rather fund the incremental redemption price. Interest earned on the Trust Account is not available for use in operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay KRP and certain of its subsidiaries a total of $25,000 per month for administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees on February 4, 2022 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and our liquidation.
The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Related Estimates
There have been no substantial changes to our critical accounting policies and related estimates from those previously disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of March 31, 2023, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our IPO, the net proceeds of our IPO, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been invested in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of 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. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material 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
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Controller, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As of March 31, 2023, to the knowledge of our management, there was no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such, and we and the members of our management team have not been subject to any such proceeding.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report, included in Part I, Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, you should carefully consider the risks set out under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2022 Form 10-K. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The unprecedented nature of the current pandemic and the volatility in the worldwide economy and oil and gas industry may make it more difficult to identify all the risks to our business, results of operations and financial condition and the ultimate impact of identified risks. Further, these risks are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
