Third Promissory Note

 

The Company accounts for its Third Promissory Note under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be made at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The Company has made such election for its Third Promissory Note (See Note 9). Using the fair value option, the Third Promissory Note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the Third Promissory Note and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the unaudited condensed statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Any material changes in the estimated fair value of the Third Promissory Note are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 5, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

On February 28, 2023, the Company’s stockholders held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) where the date by which we have to consummate a Business Combination (as defined below) was extended from March 4, 2023 to the Extension Date (as defined below). In connection with the extension vote, 24,304,187 Class A common stock were redeemed for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $247,259,068. After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in our trust account (the “Trust Account”) was approximately $45,229,556.

Recent Developments

As described in greater detail in Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations to the notes to the unaudited financial statements included herein under Part I, Item 1, on April 27, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with ARAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and iLearningEngines, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iLearningEngines”).(the “Proposed Business Combination”). Unless specifically stated, this Quarterly Report does not give effect to the Proposed Business Combination and does not contain the risks associated with the Proposed Business Combination. The consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding our current Proposed Business Combination, in the event that such Merger Agreement is not consummated for any reason in the future, we may pursue an initial Business Combination opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of plans completing the Proposed Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete Proposed Business Combination, or any Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

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 (a “Business Combination”). We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through March 31, 2023, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination, including in connection with the Proposed 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 marketable securities 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 net loss of $1,694,692, which consists of general and administrative costs of $828,626, provision for income taxes of $455,948 and loss of $2,610,000 derived from changes in fair value of the warrant liabilities, offset by interest income earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,199,882 and changes in fair value of convertible promissory notes of $1,319,850.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net income of $5,921,767, which consists of income of $6,335,000 derived from the changes in fair value of the warrant liabilities and interest income earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $25,629, offset by general and administrative costs of $438,862.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 4, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 28,750,000 Units which includes the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 3,750,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $287,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 8,250,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $8,250,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $287,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $16,392,714 in transaction costs related to the Initial Public Offering, consisting of $5,750,000 in cash underwriting fees, $10,062,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $580,214 of other offering costs.

On February 28, 2023, the Company’s stockholders held the Special Meeting and approved and adopted an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination from March 4, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to July 6, 2023 (the “Charter Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate an initial Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to seven times by an additional one month each time after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the Board if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until February 4, 2024 (each, an “Additional Charter Extension Date”) or a total of up to eleven months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of an initial Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension”, such extension deadline, the “Extension Date”, and such proposal, the “Extension Proposal”). In connection with the Extension, shareholders holding 24,304,187 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account at a redemption price of approximately $10.17 per share. As a result, following the Special Meeting, approximately $247,259,068 in cash was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $458,031. Net loss of $374,842 was affected by income related to the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $2,610,000 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,199,882 and losses related to the change in fair value of convertible promissory notes of $1,319,850. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $826,543 of cash for operating activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $365,845. Net income of $5,921,767 was affected by income related to the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $6,335,000 and interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $25,629. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $73,017 of cash for operating activities.

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $46,278,681 (including $5,397,749 of interest) consisting of money market funds which invest primarily in U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through March 31, 2023, we withdrew an amount of $40,050 interest earned from the Trust Account to pay franchise and income taxes and approximately $247,259,068 in connection with redemption.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less 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.

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of $227,999. If we do not complete the Proposed Business Combination, then 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 a Business Combination (which we currently anticipate will be the Proposed Business Combination).

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors 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. 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. Up to $1,500,000 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.

On December 21, 2020, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “IPO Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The outstanding balance under the IPO Promissory Note of $149,992 was repaid at the closing of the initial public offering on March 4, 2021.

On December 29, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “First Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to its Sponsor, of which $750,000 was funded by the Sponsor upon execution of the First Promissory Note and an additional amount of $200,000 was drawn down on March 17, 2022. On April 21, 2022, the Company drew down the remaining $550,000 pursuant to the terms of the First Promissory Note issued on December 29, 2021. Following this draw down, the full $1,500,000 available under the First Promissory Note was outstanding. There are no remaining funds available under the First Promissory Note for future drawdowns. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $1,500,000 and $1,500,000 were outstanding under this First Promissory Note, respectively.

 

The First Promissory Note does not bear interest. The principal balance of the First Promissory Note will be payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective (such date, the “Maturity Date”). In the event the Company consummates its initial Business Combination, the Sponsor has the option on the Maturity Date to convert all or any portion of the principal outstanding under the First Promissory Note into that number of warrants (“Working Capital Warrants”) equal to the portion of the principal amount of the First Promissory Note being converted divided by $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants, if any, would be identical to the terms of the private placement warrants issued by the Company at the time of its initial public offering, as described in the prospectus for the initial public offering dated March 1, 2021 and filed with the SEC, including the transfer restrictions applicable thereto. The First Promissory Note is not convertible into Working Capital Warrants or any other security. The Promissory Notes are subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Notes and all other sums payable with regard to the Promissory Notes becoming immediately due and payable.

On February 23, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 in favor of the Sponsor (the “Second Promissory Note”), which was funded in full by the Sponsor upon execution of the Second Promissory Note. The Second Promissory Note is not convertible into Working Capital Warrants or any other security. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $500,000 outstanding balance under this Second Promissory Note.

All of the Company’s outstanding Promissory Notes are subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Notes and all other sums payable with regard to the promissory notes becoming immediately due and payable. However, notwithstanding the original terms the Promissory Notes, the Company and iLearningEngines have agreed, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, that if the Closing occurs, the Sponsor will have the option for the principal and interest outstanding under the Promissory Notes to be repaid in cash or convert into common stock of the Surviving Corporation at a price per share equal to $10.00 per share at the Closing; provided, however, that to the extent the Acquiror Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceed $30,000,000, then the Promissory Notes will be settled by the conversion of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the principal and interest outstanding under the Promissory Notes and (ii) the Excess Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) into common stock of the Surviving Corporation at a price per share equal to $10.00 per share.

If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a 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 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.

 

Based on the foregoing, management has determined that we do not have sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated obligations for at least twelve months after the financial statements are available to be issued, as such, the events and circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as discussed further below. The accompanying 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 our ability to continue as a going concern.

Going Concern

In connection with the Company’s 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 that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs, obtain approval for an extension of the deadline or complete a Business Combination by July 6, 2023 (or such later date as permitted by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) but no later than February 4, 2024, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Extension Date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

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 the Sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees on March 4, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $10,062,500 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters 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 Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liabilities

We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our unaudited condensed statement of operations. The Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ deficit. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The company has two classes of common stock, 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 stock. Net (loss) income per common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from (loss) income per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a–15(e) and 15d-15(e) 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 (our “Annual Report”). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report and other reports we file with, or furnish to, the SEC.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On December 29, 2021, we issued the First Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to our Sponsor, of which $750,000 was funded by the Sponsor upon execution of the First Promissory Note and additional amounts of $200,000 and $550,000 were drawn down on March 17, 2022 and April 21, 2022, respectively, after which $1,500,000 was outstanding under the First Promissory Note. As of March 31, 2023, no amounts remained available under the First Promissory Note for future drawdowns. The issuance of the First Promissory Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

The First Promissory Note is subject to the Sponsor’s approval and does not bear interest. The principal balance of the note will be payable on Maturity Date. Pursuant to the terms of the First Promissory Note, in the event the Company consummates its initial Business Combination, the Sponsor has the option on the Maturity Date to convert all or any portion of the principal outstanding under the First Promissory Note into that number of Working Capital Warrants. However, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we have agreed, that if the Closing occurs, the Sponsor will have the option for the principal and interest outstanding under the First Promissory Note to be repaid in cash or convert into common stock of the Surviving Corporation at a price per share equal to $10.00 per share at the Closing; provided, however, that to the extent the Acquiror Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exceed $30,000,000, then the First Promissory Note will be settled by the conversion of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the principal and interest outstanding under the First Promissory Note and (ii) the Excess Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) into common stock of the Surviving Corporation at a price per share equal to $10.00 per share. The First Promissory Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the First Promissory Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Convertible Promissory Note becoming immediately due and payable.

 

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants included the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described in Note 9 to our unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their 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.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $287,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

We paid a total of $5,750,000 in cash underwriting fees and $580,214 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering and incurred $10,062,500 in deferred underwriting fees.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
