Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Cayman Islands on December 8, 2021. 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. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
Our Sponsor is Auxo Capital Managers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 23, 2022. On June 28, 2022, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.0 million, of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On July 20, 2022, pursuant to the underwriter’s notice of the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, we sold an additional 960,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $9.6 million to us. On August 7, 2022, the remaining Over-Allotment Option expired unexercised.
On August 10, 2022, the Company announced that, effective August 15, 2022, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and warrants comprising each issued and outstanding Unit will commence trading separately under the ticker symbols “SKGR” and “SKGW,” respectively. Holders of Units may elect to continue to hold Units or separate their Units into the component securities.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.6 million. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Partial Over-Allotment Exercise, we completed an additional private placement of 192,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $192,000.
