Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|
References to “we,” “us,” “company” or “our company” are to Enphys Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward- looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or
the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on March 3, 2021, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). 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 Enphys Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
On August 18, 2023, we signed a non-binding letter of intent for a business combination with a leading and well-established advanced biofuels company in Latin America (the
“Target”). We continue to pursue a business combination with the Target. However, no assurances can be made that we will enter into a definitive agreement regarding a business combination with the Target. Any transaction would be subject to board
and equityholder approval of both the company and the Target, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
On October 6, 2023, at its First Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the First Extension Amendment to the Company’s amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from October 8, 2023 to February 8, 2024.
On February 2, 2024, at its Second Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Second Extension Amendment to the Company’s amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from February 8, 2024 to June 8, 2024.
On June 5, 2024, at its Third Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Third Extension Amendment to the Company’s amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from June 8, 2024 to December 8, 2024.
If we have not completed a Business Combination by December 8, 2024, (the “Combination Period”), we 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 remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
of other applicable law.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $30,414 in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,833,282. 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.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors
may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without
interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of the notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement
Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the
Working Capital Loans.
On March 4, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “2021 Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate
principal amount of $300,000. The 2021 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021, or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no
amount outstanding under the 2021 Promissory Note.
On October 30, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor (the “2023 Promissory Note”), as amended by the First Amendment to Promissory note dated March 1, 2024,
pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of $300,000. The 2023 Promissory Note is subject to a variable interest rate equal to Term SOFR for the interest period therefor plus 300 basis points (3%) and payable on the date on
which the Company consummates the Business Combination. If the Company has not consummated a Business Combination on or prior to December 31, 2024, then the Sponsor shall have no recourse against the Company and all outstanding amounts of
principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable under the 2023 Promissory Note shall immediately terminate and all related indebtedness shall be deemed cancelled. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was $300,000 outstanding under
the 2023 Promissory Note.
On March 1, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor (the “2024 Variable Rate Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of
$100,000. The 2024 Variable Rate Promissory Note is subject to a variable interest rate equal to Term SOFR for the interest period therefor plus 300 basis points (3%) and payable on the date on which the Company consummates the Business
Combination. If the Company has not consummated a Business Combination on or prior to December 31, 2024, then the Sponsor shall have no recourse against the Company and all outstanding amounts of principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable
under the 2024 Variable Rate Promissory Note shall immediately terminate and all related indebtedness shall be deemed cancelled. As of June 30, 2024 there was $100,000 outstanding under the 2024 Variable Rate Promissory Note.
On March 1, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor (the “2024 Fixed Rate Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of
$100,000. The 2024 Fixed Rate Promissory Note is subject to a fixed interest rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum and payable on the date on which the Company consummates the Business Combination. If the Company has not consummated a
Business Combination on or prior to December 31, 2024, then the Sponsor shall have no recourse against the Company and all outstanding amounts of principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable under the 2024 Fixed Rate Promissory Note shall
immediately terminate and all related indebtedness shall be deemed cancelled. As of June 30, 2024, there was $100,000 outstanding under the 2024 Fixed Rate Promissory Note.
On June 5, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note to Enphys Management Company LLC, (the “2024 OPEX Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow an
aggregate of $300,000. The 2024 OPEX Note is subject to a fixed interest rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum and payable on the date on which the Company
consummates the Business Combination. If the Company has not consummated a Business Combination on or prior to December 31, 2024, then Enphys Management Company LLC shall have no recourse against the Company and all outstanding amounts of
principal and accrued and unpaid interest payable under the 2024 OPEX Note shall immediately terminate and all related indebtedness shall be deemed cancelled. As of June 30, 2024, there was $0 outstanding under the 2024 OPEX Note.
Our registration statement for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) became effective on October 5, 2021. On October 8, 2021, we consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 34.5 million units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares” and with respect to the redeemable warrants included in the Units, the “Public Warrants”), including
4.5 million additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345 million, and incurring offering costs of $19,707,238 (including deferred underwriting fees of $12,075,000).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 8.9 million warrants (each, a “Private Placement
Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $345 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the
Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of
Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government
treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. On October 10, 2023, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed
to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we instructed Continental, the trustee with
respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account currently
yielding interest of approximately 4.5% per annum until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had approximately $38.8 million and $108.9 million in the Trust Account. The amount is the Trust Account is intended to be applied
generally toward consummating a Business Combination.
In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the First Extraordinary General Meeting on October 6, 2023, the holders of 24,301,795 Public Shares
of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.53 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $256 million. After the satisfaction of the First
Redemption, the balance in the trust account was approximately $107 million.
On October 10, 2023, the Company issued a promissory note (the “First Extension Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed that the Sponsor or one or more of
its affiliates or designees will deposit into the Company’s Trust Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $0.025 per Public Share of the Company multiplied by the number of Public Shares of the Company then outstanding and (ii) $100,000, for
each calendar month (each, a “Deposit”) until the earlier of (i) the Company’s completion of a business combination and (ii) February 8, 2024. The First Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company
consummates the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2024, there was $400,000 outstanding under the First Extension Note.
In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Second Extraordinary General Meeting on February 2, 2024, the holders of 3,940,414 Public Shares of the Company properly
exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.73 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $42.3 million. After the satisfaction of the Second Redemption, the balance in the
trust account was approximately $67.2 million.
On February 6, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Second Extension Note”) to Enphys Management Company LLC, pursuant to which Enphys Management Company LLC
agreed that it or one or more of its affiliates or designees will deposit into the Company’s Trust Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $0.02 per Public Share of the Company multiplied by the number of Public Shares of the Company then
outstanding and (ii) $80,000, for each calendar month (each, a “Deposit”) until the earlier of (i) the Company’s completion of a business combination and (ii) June 8, 2024. The Second Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date
on which the Company consummates the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2024, there was $320,000 outstanding under the Second Extension Note.
In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Third Extraordinary General Meeting on June 5, 2024, the holders of 2,729,098 Public Shares of the Company properly exercised
their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.95 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $29.9 million. After the satisfaction of the Third Redemption, the balance in the trust
account was approximately $38.6 million.
On June 5, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Third Extension Note”) to Enphys Management Company LLC, pursuant to which Enphys Management Company LLC agreed
that it or one or more of its affiliates or designees will deposit into the Company’s Trust Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $0.02 per Public Share of the Company multiplied by the number of Public Shares of the Company then
outstanding and (ii) $50,000, for each calendar month (each, a “Deposit”) until the earlier of (i) the Company’s completion of a business combination and (ii) December 8, 2024. The maximum aggregate amount of deposits shall be $300,000. The
Third Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the date on which the Company consummates the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2024, a total of $50,000 was deposited into the Trust Account pursuant to this agreement.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was a total of $770,000 and $300,000 outstanding on the First and Second Extension notes, respectively.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Combination Period is less than one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. There is no assurance that
the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period and the Company does not have sufficient cash and working capital to sustain its operation. As a result, these factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the
uncertainty.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from inception up to June 30, 2024, was in preparation for our formation, the preparation of our Initial Public Offering and the search for a business
combination target. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had net income of $1,033,595 which consisted of the related party administrative fee of $30,000, general and administrative
expenses of $139,295 and interest expense of $10,414 offset by interest earned on the Trust Account of $664,154 and a gain of $549,150 for the change in derivative warrant liabilities.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $5,785,375, which consisted of the related party administrative fee of $30,000 and general and administrative
expenses of $151,497 offset by the income earned on the investments in the Trust Account of $4,138,987 and a gain of $1,827,885 for the net change in derivative warrant liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net income of $1,581,132 which consisted of the related party administrative fee of $60,000, general and administrative
expenses of $324,846 and interest expense of $17,468 offset by interest earned on the Trust Account of $1,591,196 and a gain of $392,250 for the change in derivative warrant liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had net income of $8,586,458, which consisted of the related party administrative fee of $60,000 and general and administrative
expenses of $303,427 offset by the income earned on the investments in the Trust Account of $7,906,500 and a gain of $1,043,385 for the net change in derivative warrant liabilities.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion
of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a
registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration
rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4.5 million additional Units to cover
over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting fees. On October 8, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting fee of $0.20 per Unit, or $7.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition,
$0.35 per unit, or approximately $12.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting fees. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the
event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. The
Company did not have any critical accounting estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect
on our financial statements. See Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.
JOBS Act
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public
companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the
adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the
financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions
set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial
reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement
that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose
certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years
following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
Recent Developments
On July 24, 2024, the Company received correspondence from the staff of NYSE
Regulation (the “Staff”) of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) indicating that the Staff has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Public Shares, Units, and Public Warrants from the NYSE pursuant to Section 802.01B of the
NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring a listed acquisition company to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly-held
shares over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40,000,000.
Trading in the Company’s Public Shares, Units, and Public Warrants on the NYSE was suspended immediately on July 24, 2024. Effective as of July 25, 2024, the Company’s Public
Shares, Units, and Public Warrants began to be quoted and traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market under the ticker symbols “NFSCF,” “NFSUF,” and “NFSWF,” respectively.
On August 7, 2024, the Company submitted a written appeal request for a review of the Staff’s decision by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE (the “NYSE
Committee”). Pursuant to Section 804.00 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the review by the NYSE Committee will generally be scheduled for a date that is at least 25 business days from the date of the request for review. The delisting of the
Company’s securities will be stayed pending the conclusion of the review process, while the trading suspension that was implemented on July 24, 2024, will remain in effect.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Controls and Procedures
|
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the
Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation,
the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that material weaknesses existed and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses that are disclosed
in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 which continue to exist as of June 30, 2024.
The material weaknesses include: (1) the Company did not design and maintain effective internal controls over the valuation of the public warrants and private placement
warrants, and (2) presentation of the statements of cash flows.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II -
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings

None.
A description of the risks associated with our business, financial condition, and results of operations is set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our annual report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024 (“Form 10-K”). Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K.
The following new risk factor is added:
On July 24, 2024, the NYSE suspended trading of our securities on the NYSE and commenced proceedings to delist our securities from trading on its exchange, this could limit
investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
On July 24, 2024, we received correspondence from the staff of the NYSE indicating that the staff had determined to commence proceedings to delist our securities pursuant to
Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring a listed acquisition company to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to
its publicly-held shares over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40,000,000. Trading of our securities on the NYSE was suspended immediately. Effective as of July 25, 2024, our Public Shares, Units, and Public Warrants may be
quoted and traded in the over-the-counter (OTC Pink) market under the ticker symbols “NFSCF,” “NFSUF,” and “NFSWF,” respectively.
On August 7, 2024, the Company submitted a written appeal request for a review of the Staff’s decision by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE (the “NYSE Committee”).
Pursuant to Section 804.00 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the review by the NYSE Committee will generally be scheduled for a date that is at least 25 business days from the date of the request for review. The delisting of the Company’s
securities will be stayed pending the conclusion of the review process, while the trading suspension that was implemented on July 24, 2024, will remain in effect.
If the Company’s securities are delisted, the Company intends to seek a listing of its securities on the NYSE prior to or in connection with the consummation of any business
combination the Company may seek to consummate. However, we cannot assure our stockholders that our securities will be listed on NYSE or other stock exchange in the future or prior to our initial business combination. In order to list our
securities on a stock exchange prior to our initial business combination, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels. In addition, we must maintain a minimum number of holders of our securities. If we are able to
list our securities on an exchange prior to an initial business combination, in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with such applicable stock exchange’s initial listing requirements,
which are more rigorous than the continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on the exchange. We cannot assure our stockholders that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements
at that time. A reduction in our available public float may consequently reduce the trading volume, volatility and liquidity of our securities relative to what they would have been had such units been purchased by public investors.
Our securities are currently quoted on the over-the-counter market. As a result, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
|
• |
a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
|
|
• |
reduced liquidity for our securities;
|
|
• |
a determination that our Class A common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Class A common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the
secondary trading market for our securities;
|
|
• |
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
|
|
• |
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
|
The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are
referred to as “covered securities.” Because our securities are no longer listed on the NYSE, our securities are no longer deemed to be covered securities. Federal statute allows the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of
fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, the states can regulate or bar the sale of securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities
issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank
check companies in their states. Since our securities are no longer listed on the NYSE, our securities are not covered securities and we are subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities, including in connection with our
initial business combination if our securities are not listed on an exchange prior to an initial business combination.
