Business Wire
BCLS Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BLSA), a special
purpose acquisition company, today announced that as of the close
of business on October 26, 2022, the Company’s publicly held Class
A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Public Shares”), will be
deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive their
pro-rata share in the Company’s trust account (“Trust Account”),
because the Company will not consummate an initial business
combination within the time period required by its Amended and
Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the
“Articles”).
As stated in the Company’s Articles and in the Company’s
registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-249284),
initially filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) on October 2, 2020, relating to the
Company’s initial public offering, if the Company is unable to
complete an initial business combination within 24 months of the
initial public offering, the Company will: (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as
reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter,
redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account,
including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account
and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes,
if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public
Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public
shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to
receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject
to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the
Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in
each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to
provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other
applicable law.
The per-share redemption price for the Public Shares will be
approximately $10.03 (the “Redemption Amount”). The balance of the
Trust Account as of September 30, 2022 was $144,329,573, which
includes $579,573 in interest and dividend income (excess of cash
over $143,750,000, the funds deposited into the Trust Account). In
accordance with the terms of the related trust agreement, the
Company expects to retain $100,000 of the interest and dividend
income from the Trust Account to pay dissolution expenses.
As of the close of business on October 26, 2022, the Public
Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right
to receive the Redemption Amount within ten business days. The
Company anticipates that the Public Shares will cease trading on
The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) as of the close of business on
October 26, 2022.
The Redemption Amount will be payable to the holders of the
Public Shares upon delivery of their shares to the Company’s
transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however,
will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption
Amount.
The Company’s sponsor has waived its redemption rights with
respect to the outstanding founder shares and private placement
shares. After October 26, 2022, the Company shall cease all
operations except for those required to wind up the Company’s
business.
The Company expects that Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the
Commission in order to delist the Company’s securities. The Company
thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to
terminate the registration of the Company’s securities under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
