Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 14, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 25,300,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the units sold, the “Public Shares”), including 3,300,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $253,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of 800,000 Units to G4G Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit (the “Private Placement Units”), including 66,000 Private Placement Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $659,249, which was due to our net loss of $164,664, an unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $103,107 and interest and dividend income from the Trust Account of $982,483; partially offset by changes in working capital accounts of $591,005.
For the period from July 2, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $0, which was due to our net loss of $5,500, offset by the changes in working capital of $5,500.
For the period from July 2, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, there was no financing activity.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the period from July 2, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, there was no investing activity.
As of September 30, 2022, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $254,080,534. 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 our 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 September 30, 2022, we had cash of $989,031 held outside the Trust Account. 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, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the Initial Public Offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial Business Combination, other than funds available from loans from our Sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team. However, if our estimates 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. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete our initial Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that our 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. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per Unit at the option of the lender. The Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor, its affiliates or our management team as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.
Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our Trust Account, or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If we have not consummated our initial Business Combination within the required time period because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.
