Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 23, 2020, for the purpose of entering into 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.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
On July 15, 2021, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub and HeartFlow. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement Merger Sub will merge with and into HeartFlow,
with HeartFlow surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary. In addition, we will be renamed HeartFlow Group, Inc. following the consummation of the transactions. The HeartFlow Business Combination is expected to close in the first quarter
of 2022.
On the Closing Date, among other things, we will distribute to record holders, on a pro rata basis, an amount, not less than zero, equal to (a) $91,000,000, less (b) the aggregate dollar amount
to be paid by us in connection with the redemptions of shares of our Class A common stock to the extent such redemptions are in excess of $25,000,000 (the “Return of Capital Distribution Amount”). The outstanding number of shares of our Class A
common stock shall be an amount of shares equal to (i) 69,000,000 minus (ii) (x) the Return of Capital Distribution Amount, divided by (y) $10.00. The Return of Capital Distribution Amount will be paid by us immediately following the closing.
See Note 6 to Item 1 above for a description of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on July 15, 2021, the Forward Purchasers entered into the Amended Forward Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the
Forward Purchasers agreed to purchase from us the Forward Purchase Shares, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, an aggregate dollar amount of shares equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate redemptions of shares of our Class A common stock
(which amount shall not be greater than $25,000,000), and (B) twenty-five percent (25%) of such aggregate redemptions in excess of the first $200,000,000 paid out of the Trust Account to holders redeeming shares of our Class A common stock (which
amount set forth in (B) shall not be greater than $25,000,000) (or more if determined by the Forward Purchasers, up to the aggregate amount of redemptions) (the “Forward Purchase”).
On
July 14, 2021 the Company entered into an agreement with UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”) to act as the exclusive financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Company’s proposed Business Combination with HeartFlow. The Company agrees to pay
$10,000,000 in transaction fees to UBS payable upon successful Business Combination (a portion of which is payable from the deferred underwriting fee).
On September 30, 2021, the Company, Merger Sub and HeartFlow entered into Amendment No. 1 to Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which the Business Combination Agreement was amended to
memorialize the parties’ intention to have the shares of New Heart Flow common stock and public warrants of the post-combination company listed and traded on Nasdaq rather than on the NYSE after the Closing.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from October 23, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021, were organizational activities, those necessary to
prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a 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 September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $5,632,149, which consists of a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,888,000, change in the fair value loss of the FPA of
$6,856,746, change in fair value of the convertible note-related party of $8,391 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $71,143, and offset by operating costs of $3,192,131.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,394,495, which consists of a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,752,000, reversal of initial classification of FPA liability
of $9,902,957, change in the fair value of the FPA of $9,902,957, change in fair value of convertible note-related party of $8,391, transaction costs allocated to derivative liabilities of $1,001,129, and interest earned on marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $103,750, offset by operating costs of $4,257,507.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 23, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 69,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $690,000,000, which is described in Note 3 to our condensed financial statements.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 9,800,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of
$14,700,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $690,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We
incurred $35,566,388 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $12,700,000 of underwriting fees, $22,225,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $641,388 of other costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $3,011,166. Net loss of $2,394,495 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $103,750,
change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,752,000, change in fair value of the convertible note-related party of $8,391 and transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $1,001,129. Changes in operating assets and liabilities
provided $1,246,341 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $690,103,750 (including approximately $103,750 of interest income) consisting of 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 September 30, 2021, we have not withdrawn any interest earned from the Trust Account.
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 September 30, 2021, we had cash of $122,427. 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.
We are party to a loan agreement with our Sponsor pursuant to which we may borrow up to $2,000,000 in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 additional 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 $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we drew down $1,750,000 under the Sponsor
Loan.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. 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 affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office
space, utilities and administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees on March 18, 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 (except with respect to units purchased by funds affiliated with Glenview Capital Management, LLC and an investment vehicle controlled by
individuals affiliated with Glenview Capital Management, LLC), or $22,225,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be forfeited by the underwriters solely in the event that the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, subject to the
terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of 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:
Warrants
The Company accounts 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, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants and to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheets date until exercised,
and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations.
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 ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory
redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is 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’ equity. 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) equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings
per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, FASB issued 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. ASU
2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022, 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 issues, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
