Overview
We are a newly organized blank check company incorporated on February 23, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We were initially incorporated under the name BH3 Acquisition Corp. and subsequently changed our name to Crixus BH3 Acquisition Company on July 21, 2021. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
Our units began trading on October 5, 2021 on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “BHACU.” Commencing on November 26, 2021, the shares of Class A common stock and warrants comprising the units began separate trading on the Nasdaq under the symbols “BHAC” and “BHACW,” respectively. Those units not separated continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “BHACU.”
Transaction costs of the initial public offering amounted to approximately $22,407,000, consisting of $12,650,000 of underwriters’ fees and discounts, $9,276,000 for the excess fair value of founder shares attributable to the anchor investors, and $481,000 of other offering costs. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $8,050,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the initial public offering 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.
On December 7, 2022 (following approval by our stockholders at the special meeting), we effected the charter amendment and the trust amendment, the effect of which was to change our termination date from April 7, 2023 to the new termination date (August 7, 2023, unless further extended in accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation by our sponsor (or its affiliates or designees) providing to us the requisite notice and the deposit amount). In connection with the charter amendment, 17,987,408 public shares were tendered for redemption. After giving effect to the early redemptions, we had approximately $51.2 million remaining in the trust account.
If we are unable to consummate an initial business combination on or before the new termination date, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and as further described herein, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. We expect the pro rata redemption price to be approximately $10.24 per share of common stock if we don’t extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, and an additional $0.035 per share of common stock for each month thereafter if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination (in each case, regardless of whether or not the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option), without taking into account any interest earned on such funds. However, we cannot assure you that we will in fact be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our public stockholders.
