Description of Organization and Business Operations |
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations Organization and General Bluescape Opportunities Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 9, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an early stage and “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 9, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2023 was related to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) further described below. Since such offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. On September 22, 2022, the Company's shareholders held a meeting and approved and adopted an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the period of time for which the Company is required to consummate a Business Combination from October 30, 2022 to October 30, 2023 (the "Extension"). In connection with the Extension, shareholders holding 53,350,554 shares of the Company's Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company's Trust Account (as defined below) at a redemption price of approximately $10.06 per share. As a result, on September 22, 2022 $536,494,151 in cash was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. On July 13, 2020, Bluescape Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) purchased 20,125,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. On October 23, 2020, the Sponsor surrendered 3,593,750 Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate of 16,531,250 Founder Shares. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 1,343,750 additional Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in 15,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The 15,187,500 Founder Shares outstanding will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 7. The registration statement for the Company’s Public Offering became effective on October 27, 2020. On October 30, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 57,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $575,000,000. Subsequently, on November 12, 2020, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of 3,250,000 additional units at a price of $10.00 per unit upon receiving notice of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, generating additional gross proceeds of $32,500,000 to the Company and resulting in an aggregate of 60,750,000 outstanding Units as of November 12, 2020 (Note 3). Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 13,500,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor and an investment fund managed by Zimmer Partners, LP (“Zimmer Entity”), generating gross proceeds of $13,500,000. In connection with the November 12, 2020 exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an additional 650,000 warrants, at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, to Bluescape Sponsor LLC and an investment fund managed by Zimmer Partners, LP, generating gross proceeds of $650,000 and resulting in an aggregate of 14,150,000 Private Placement Warrants (Note 4). Trust Account and Initial Business Combination Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 30, 2020 and the subsequent partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment exercise, an amount of $607,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a segregated trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested 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 any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. On September 22, 2022, the Company liquidated its remaining portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account and converted it into cash held in the Trust Account. Substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully and the Company must complete an initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value of at least 80% of the cash held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Other than the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses), none of the cash held in the Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption (liquidation) of public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by October 30, 2023, subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination by October 30, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes. The per-share amount to be distributed to public shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (Note 6). The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the initial Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NYSE rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law or stock exchange requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and its permitted transferees will agree to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company. The Company will have until October 30, 2023 (the “Combination Window”) to complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors that hold Founder Shares have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to Founder Shares and Public Shares held in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to Founder Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Window (as defined below) and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares in conjunction with any such amendment. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires shares of Class A ordinary shares in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period. None of the Company’s independent directors hold any Public Shares. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Public Offering price of $10.00 per Unit. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) the amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Shares due to reductions in the value of the trust will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Going Concern As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $368,187 in its operating bank account for working capital. The Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to complete a business combination by October 30, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. There is no assurance that a business combination target will be identified prior to October 30, 2023. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 30, 2023. Risks and Uncertainties Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
