Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on September 8, 2020 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”). Our sponsor is HAAC Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”).
The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on November 12, 2020. On November 17, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 52,500,000 SAILSM Securities, including 2,500,000 SAILSM Securities as a result of the underwriters’ exercise in part of their over-allotment option. The SAILSM Securities were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per SAILSM Security, generating gross proceeds of $525.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $29.8 million, inclusive of approximately $18.4 million in deferred underwriting commissions.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 11,666,666 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), including 333,333 Private Placement Warrants as a result of the underwriters’ exercise in part of their over-allotment option, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement with our Sponsor and certain directors of our Company (the “Private Placement Warrants Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds of $17.5 million (Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $525.0 million ($10.00 per SAILSM Security) of the net proceeds of the sale of the SAILSM Securities in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or November 17, 2022 and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to extend this date, 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, of $10.00, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors (the “Board”), liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
