Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 7,942,500 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Consilium Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,942,500. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)); (2) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.
A total of $2,250,000 was deposited to the Company’s operating account and a total of $191,647,500, comprised of a portion of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the Company’s completion of an initial business combination; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 18 months (or 24 months if the sponsor exercises its extension options) from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or
pre-initial
business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed its initial business combination within 18 months (or 24 months if the sponsor exercises its extension options) from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.
Our entire activity from inception through March 31, 2022 relates to our formation, the Initial Public Offering and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, a search for a Business Combination candidate. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our Business Combination at the earliest.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $184,774, which consisted of $34,164 in legal and accounting expenses, $102,095 of insurance expense, and $108,155 dues and subscriptions expense, and $5 bank fees expenses, offset by $59,645 unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the trust account.
Going Concern Consideration
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $400,661 and $20 in cash, respectively, and working capital (deficit) of $595,007 and ($866,674), respectively.
The Company’s liquidity needs through March 31, 2022 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B ordinary shares” and shares thereof, “founder shares”), the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants (see Note 3 and Note 4). Additionally, the Company drew on an unsecured promissory note to pay certain offering costs.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through related party loans from the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates (“Working Capital Loans”) and effecting a Business Combination. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. In addition, management is currently evaluating the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic and its effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date this financial statement is issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
