EDGE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
SDCL
EDGE Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 16,
2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization
or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited
to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and
emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
the period from February 16, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial
public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) as described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the
search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income or gains (losses)
on investments on the cash and investments held in a trust account from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. In addition,
the Company will recognize non-operating income or loss on the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 28, 2021. On November 2,
2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 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 $175,000,000,
which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public
Warrant”).
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 8,250,000 warrants (the “Private Placement
Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to SDCL EDGE Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”),
Sustainable Investors Fund, LP (“Capricorn”), and Seaside Holdings (Nominee) Limited (“Seaside” and, together
with Capricorn, the “A Anchor Investors”) generating gross proceeds of $8,250,000, which is described in Note 4.
The
Company had granted the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to
2,625,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On November 16, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment
option and purchased an additional 2,495,246 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $24,952,460,
and incurred $499,049 in cash underwriting fees.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of 748,574 warrants (the “Over-Allotment
Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor and the A Anchor Investors generating
gross proceeds of $748,574.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, and the
sale of the Over-Allotment Warrants, an amount of $201,951,985 ($10.10 per Unit) was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
and was invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with maturities of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain
conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until
the earlier of: (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in
connection with a shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of
the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial
Public Offering; and (iii) absent an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or
with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, the
return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders as part of the redemption of the Public Shares. If the Company
does not invest the proceeds as discussed above, the Company may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act. If the Company
is deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses
for which the Company has not allotted funds and may hinder the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. If the Company
is unable to complete the initial Business Combination, the Company’s public shareholders may only receive their pro rata portion
of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public shareholders, and the warrants will expire worthless.
SDCL
EDGE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In
addition, the Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 656,250 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the extent that the
over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. As a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment
option, the Company repurchased and cancelled 32,439 Founders Shares. No other Founder Shares remain subject to forfeiture.
The
Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion
of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means
of a tender offer. 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, in its sole discretion. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for
a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account ($10.10 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion
of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released
to the Company to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect
to the Company’s warrants. The Class A ordinary shares are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon
the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”).
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such
Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not
required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business
or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association as then in effect, conduct
the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer
documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a
Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders,
Anchor Investors (as defined in Note 5), and management team have agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them, and any Public Shares
purchased in or after the Initial 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 or whether they were
a public shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association 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% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written
consent.
The
initial shareholders and A Anchor Investors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public
Shares they hold in connection with the completion of an initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect
to any Founder Shares and Public Shares they hold in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public
Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering
or with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity
and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the
Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the Initial Public Offering. However, if the initial
shareholders or Anchor Investors (as defined in Note 5) acquire additional Public Shares after the Initial Public Offering, such Public
Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within
the Combination Period (as defined below).
SDCL
EDGE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The
Company will have until 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”) to complete
a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and 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), and (iii)
as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and
board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, 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
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 Period 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 redemption
price per Unit ($10.10).
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 for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.10 per Public Share or (2) the
actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.10 per
Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s
tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third-party or prospective target business that executed
a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any
claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial 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 (other than the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm), 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.
Liquidity
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had $1,147,654
in cash held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $220,653.
Management evaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and determined that sufficient capital exists
to sustain operations one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
continues to evaluate 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 condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information or footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes
necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2022.
The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not
being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective
or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which
is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Investments
Held in Trust Account
At
March 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account is $201,832,944, and is held in money market funds, which are invested in U.S.
Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Such trading
securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the
change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in net gain (loss) on investments held in Trust Account in the
accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available
market information.
At
December 31, 2021 the Company held cash in the Trust Account of $201,951,985.
Class
A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All
of the 19,995,246 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the over-allotment
option contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation,
if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments
to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance
on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the
Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares
has been classified outside of permanent equity.
The
Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares
to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary
shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
As
of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the condensed balance
sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Offering
Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering
The
Company complies with the requirements of ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic
5A - Expenses of Offering (“SAB Topic 5A”). Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred
through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance
of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are
classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $32,005,743 as a result
of the Initial Public Offering (consisting of a $3,999,049 underwriting discount, $6,998,336 of deferred underwriting fees, $18,958,165
of Anchor Investor offering costs, and $2,050,193 of other offering costs). The Company recorded $29,576,119 of offering costs as a reduction
of temporary equity in connection with the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed
$2,429,624 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants that were classified as liabilities.

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation
allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain
tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized
tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently
not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The
Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements
in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
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. The immediate re-measurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income (loss)
per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the net income (loss) per share calculation allocates income and
losses shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income (loss) per share is the same
for Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering,
the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 18,996,197 shares in the calculation
of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result,
diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the periods presented.
The
following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair
value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price
that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an
orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires
an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable
inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market
data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based
on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The
carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term
nature.
Level
1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement
are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying
terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted
intervals.
Level
3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when
little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
Share-Based
Compensation
Share-based
compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”),
which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange
for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, non-employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange
for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, non-employee and director
services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. For the three months ended March 31,
2022, the Company recognized $642,392 of share-based compensation related to 659,844 Founder Shares to be transferred to Sustainable
Development Capital LLP for certain services performed per the Investment Advisory Agreement (See Note 5).
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”).
For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair
value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated
at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether
or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The
Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815 and are presented
as warrant liabilities on the balance sheet. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were measured at fair value at the Initial
Public Offering and on a recurring basis, with subsequent changes in fair value to be recorded in the statement of operations.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 28, 2021. On November 2,
2021, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000.
Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one Public Warrant. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7). On November 16, 2021, the underwriters partially
exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 2,495,246 Over-Allotment Units, generating gross proceeds of $24,952,460,
for an aggregate total of $199,952,460 in gross proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and closing of the exercise of the over-allotment
option.
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and A Anchor Investors purchased an aggregate of 8,250,000 warrants at a
price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant ($8,250,000 in the aggregate). Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment
option, the Company consummated the sale of 748,574 Over-Allotment Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement
to the Sponsor and A Anchor Investors, generating gross proceeds of $748,574, for an aggregate total of $8,998,574 in gross proceeds
from the sale of the Private Warrants and Over-Allotment Warrants. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class
A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added
to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the
Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
NOTE
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
On
February 23, 2021, the Sponsor was issued Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate
of $ paid to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. On July 14, 2021, the Company repurchased 2,156,250 Founder
Shares from the Company’s Sponsor for an aggregate consideration of $0.001, resulting in an aggregate of 5,031,250 Founder Shares
outstanding. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 656,250 Class B ordinary shares subject to repurchase by the Sponsor to
the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the holders of the Founder
Shares will own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering.
Following the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on November 16, 2021, 32,439 Founder Shares were
repurchased and cancelled by the Company. No other Founder Shares remain subject to forfeiture.
The
Sponsor has agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned, or sold until the
earlier of (i) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to an initial Business Combination, (x) if
the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations,
reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days
after an initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other
similar transaction that results in all of the public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities
or other property.
The
A Anchor Investors purchased a total of 4,000,000 units in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per unit. In addition
to the A Anchor Investors, two qualified institutional buyers or accredited investors not affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor, the
Company’s directors or any member of management (the “3.6% B Anchor Investors”), purchased 1,575,000 units each in
the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per unit, three qualified institutional buyers or accredited investors not
affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor, the Company’s directors or any member of management (the “4.0% B Anchor Investors”),
purchased 1,749,999 units each in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per unit, and two qualified institutional
buyers or accredited investors not affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor, the Company’s directors or any member of management
(the “Additional 4.0% B Anchor Investors” and, together with the 3.6% B Anchor Investors and the 4.0% B Anchor Investors,
the “B Anchor Investors”), purchased 1,732,500 units each in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00
per unit, or an aggregate of 15,864,997 units for all anchor investors (the “Anchor Investors” which includes the A Anchor
Investors and the B Anchor Investors).

EDGE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
As
the Anchor Investors purchased units during the Initial Public Offering, should they vote the shares included therein in favor of the
initial Business Combination, no votes from other public shareholders would be required to approve the initial Business Combination.
The Anchor Investors may have different interests with respect to a vote on an initial Business Combination than other public shareholders
due to their ownership interests in the Company.
Pursuant
to such units, the Anchor Investors have not been granted any shareholder or other rights in addition to those afforded to the Company’s
other public shareholders. Further, the Anchor Investors are not required to (i) hold any units, Class A ordinary shares or warrants
they purchased in the Initial Public Offering or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any Class A ordinary shares they may own
at the applicable time in favor of the Business Combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Public Shares
at the time of the Business Combination. The Anchor Investors have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect
to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the units they purchased in the Initial Public Offering as the rights afforded to the Company’s
other public shareholders.
Each
Anchor Investor has entered into separate investment agreements with the Company and the Sponsor. The A Anchor Investors purchased 503,125
Founder Shares each, or an aggregate of 1,006,250 Founder Shares, from the Sponsor for a purchase price of $2,500 each, or an aggregate
of $5,000, at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The 3.6% B Anchor Investors purchased 181,125 Founder Shares each, or an aggregate
of 362,250 Founder Shares, from the Sponsor for a purchase price of $900 each, or an aggregate of $1,800, at the closing of the Initial
Public Offering. The 4.0% B Anchor Investors purchased 201,250 Founder Shares each, or an aggregate of 603,750 Founder Shares, from the
Sponsor for a purchase price of $1,000 each, or an aggregate of $3,000, at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Additional
4.0% B Anchor Investors purchased 201,250 Founder Shares each, or an aggregate of 402,500 Founder Shares from the Sponsor for a purchase
price of $1,000 each, or an aggregate of $2,000, at the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or an aggregate of 2,374,750 Founder
Shares for all Anchor Investors for a total combined purchase price of $11,800). Pursuant to the investment agreements, the Anchor Investors
have agreed to (a) vote any Founder Shares held by them in favor of the Business Combination and (b) subject any Founder Shares held
by them to the same lock-up restrictions as the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and independent directors.
Due
to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters on November 16, 2021, the Company repurchased and cancelled
32,439 Founder Shares, which included 3,244 Founder Shares from each A Anchor Investor (or an aggregate of 6,488 Founder Shares), 1,168
Founder Shares from each 3.6% B Anchor Investor (or an aggregate of 2,336 Founder Shares), 1,298 Founder Shares from each 4.0% B Anchor
Investor, (or an aggregate of 3,894 Founder Shares), 1,298 Founder Shares from each Additional 4.0% B Anchor Investor, (or an aggregate
of 2,596 Founder Shares), and Founder Shares from the Company’s Sponsor. As a result 15,314 Founder Shares held by Anchor
Investors were repurchased and canceled by the Company, resulting in an aggregate of 2,359,436 Founder Shares held by all Anchor Investors.
The
Company estimated the fair value of the Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investors to be $18,969,890 or $8.04 per share. The
excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares sold over the purchase price of $11,725 (or $0.005 per share) was determined to be an
offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial
instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering
costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities were expensed immediately in the statement of operations. Offering costs allocated
to the Public Shares were charged to shareholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Due
to Sponsor
Due
to Sponsor consists of advances from the Sponsor to pay for offering costs and formation costs on behalf of the Company and are payable
on demand.
Administrative
Support Agreement
On
October 28, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office
space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company
will cease paying these monthly fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, $60,000 of administrative support expenses were
incurred.

Investment
Advisory Agreement
On
October 28, 2021, the Company and the Sponsor entered into an agreement with Sustainable Development Capital LLP (the “Advisor”),
a London-based investment firm and affiliate of the Company and Sponsor, whereby the Advisor agreed to provide administrative, consulting,
and other services to affect the Company’s initial Business Combination. In consideration of the services performed: (1) the Company
and Sponsor shall procure the transfer of the legal and beneficial title to at least 659,844 Founder Shares, or at the sole election
of the Sponsor, the payment of an amount equal to the cash value (as determined as of the date of such payment) of such number of Founder
Shares, to the Advisor immediately prior to the winding up and liquidation of the Sponsor, or such other date as shall be agreed in writing
between the Sponsor and Advisor; and (2) the Sponsor shall pay to the Advisor the sum of $20,000 per month as an ongoing advisory fee
and subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). The compensation
expense related to the above Founder Share transfer of 659,844 shares is amortized on a straight-line basis from the Grant Date of October 28,
2021 (the date at which the Investment Advisory Agreement was signed, and the date at which all parties reached a mutual understanding
of the key terms and conditions of the share-based payment) to November 2, 2023 (the date at which the combination period for the
Company’s initial business combination expires). Such Advisory Agreement is accounted for under ASC 718.
Related
Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Company’s sponsor or an affiliate
of the sponsor or certain of the officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If
the Company completes an initial Business Combination, it may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released
to the Company. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital
held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Company’s Trust Account would be used for
such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the
lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise
period. The terms of such loans by the officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with
respect to such loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Company’s sponsor, its affiliates
or the management team as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against
any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
there were no such loans outstanding.

Registration
Rights
The
holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital
Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion
of the Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective
date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands,
that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect
to registration statements filed subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination. The Company bears the expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriters
Agreement
In
connection with the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering
to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments. On November 16, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised
the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 2,495,246 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional
gross proceeds of $24,952,460 to the Company.
The
underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,999,049 in the aggregate, which became payable at the closing
of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,998,336 in the
aggregate. 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.

7. WARRANTS
A
warrant holder may exercise their warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. This means only a whole warrant may be
exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants
will trade. Accordingly, unless the warrant holder purchases at least two units, they will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant.
The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier
upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation
to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares
underlying the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to satisfying the obligations
described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue Class A ordinary
shares upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A ordinary shares issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or
deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the
conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not
be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required
to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser
of a unit containing such warrant, if not cash settled, will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary
shares underlying such unit.
The
Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business
Combination, the Company will use the commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance
of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use the commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination and to maintain the
effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire
or are redeemed; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities
exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act,
the Company may, at the option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, the Company will not be required
to file or maintain in effect a registration statement.
Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the
Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
| ● | in
whole and not in part; |
| ● | at
a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon
a minimum of thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;

recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) trading days within a 30-trading day
period ending three (3) trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to
the warrant holders. |
The
Company will not redeem the warrants for cash unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares
of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class
A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, unless the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and
such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable, the Company
may exercise the redemption right even if the Company are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all
applicable state securities laws.

reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading
day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to
the warrant holders; and |
| ● | if
the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days
within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which
the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per
share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the
exercise price of a warrant from share divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like), the private placement warrants must also be concurrently
called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described
above. |
In
addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection
with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share
(with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such
issuance to the Sponsor, Anchor Investors, or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Sponsor, the
Company’s Anchor Investors or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y)
the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available
for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the completion of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions),
and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the shares of Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting
on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummate the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”)
is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher
of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described below under “Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” and “Redemption of warrants when the price
per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180%, respectively,
of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The
private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in the Initial Public Offering except that, so long
as they are held by the Sponsor, the A Anchor Investors, or their permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable (except as described
above under “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00”); (2) they (including
the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred,
assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, as described below; (3) they
may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants)
are entitled to registration rights.
The
Company accounts for the 18,996,197 warrants that were issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (9,997,623 Public Warrants
and 8,998,574 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because
the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability due to the existence
of provisions whereby adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value
of a “fixed-for-fixed” option and the existence of the potential for net cash settlement for the warrant holders (but not
all shareholders) in the event of a tender offer.
The
accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the warrants as derivative liabilities at fair
value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance
of the Units equal to its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement,
the warrant liability will be adjusted to its current fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement
of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of
events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

The measurement of the Public Warrants as of
March 31, 2022 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker SEDA.WS.
The quoted price of the Public Warrants was $0.33 and $0.50 per warrant as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
At December 31, 2021, the amount in the Trust Account was comprised solely of cash.
The
Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair
value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement warrant liability is determined using
Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo Simulation model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life,
risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility
that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield
curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed
to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates
to remain at zero.
The
aforementioned warrant liabilities are not subject to qualified hedge accounting.
Transfers
to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated on February 16, 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. We have not selected any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive
discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using
cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering (defined below) and the sale of the private placement warrants, shares issued to
the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing or other
sources.
Our
registration statement for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on October 28,
2021. On November 2, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect
to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000.
On November 16, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 2,495,246 Units
(the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $24,952,460 (and aggregate gross proceeds of $199,952,460). The
underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of $6,998,336 in the aggregate ($0.35 per Unit).
Upon
the closing of our Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option by the Underwriters and the Private Placements
(as defined below), $192,953,411 ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment
option by the Underwriters and $8,998,574 of the proceeds of the Private Placements, for an aggregate of $201,951,985, was deposited
in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and is to be invested
in United States government treasury bills maturities of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries
and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act,
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 (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 (which interest shall be net of
taxes payable and 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), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s
remaining shareholders and board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, 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.
Results
of Operations
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the three months ended March 31,
2022 and for the period from February 16, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary
to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective
initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business
combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income or gains (losses) on investments on the cash and investments
held in a trust account after the Initial Public Offering. 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 March 31, 2022,
we had net income of $1,863,831, which was a result of a gain in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,229,353 offset
by a loss on the investments held in the trust account of $119,041 and operating and formation costs of $1,246,481.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2021 we had a net loss of $9,647 which resulted from operating and formation costs of $9,647.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
For the three months ended March 31, 2022,
net cash used in operating activities was $218,899, which was due to a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities for $3,229,353,
offset by our net income of $1,863,831, share-based compensation of $642,392, a change in operating assets and liabilities of $385,190
and a loss on on investments held in the Trust Account of $119,041.
For
the period from February 16, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $0. This resulted
from our net loss of $9,647 being offset by formation costs of $8,522 and a change in operating assets and liabilities of $1,125.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was no cash provided by financing or investing activities.
There
was no cash provided by investing activities for the period from February 16, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021.
For
the period from February 16, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $157,659.
This resulted from proceeds from the promissory note to the sponsor of $300,000 partially offset by payment of deferred offering costs
of $121,441 and an advance paid to related party for $20,900.
On
November 2, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $175,000,000.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 8,250,000 warrants (the “Private Placement
Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement (the “First Private Placement”)
to SDCL EDGE Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), Sustainable Investors Fund, LP (“Capricorn”), and Seaside Holdings
(Nominee) Limited (“Seaside” and, together with Capricorn, the “A Anchor Investors”) generating gross proceeds
of $8,250,000.
The
Company had granted the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to
2,625,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On November 16, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment
option and purchased an additional 2,495,246 Over-Allotment Units, generating gross proceeds of $24,952,460, and incurred $499,049 in
cash underwriting fees.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of 748,574 warrants (the “Over-Allotment
Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement (the “Second Private Placement” and, together
with the First Private Placement, the “Private Placements”) to the Sponsor and the A Anchor Investors, generating gross proceeds
of $748,574.
Upon
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, and the
sale of the Over-Allotment Warrants, an amount of $201,951,985 was placed in a Trust Account.
As
of March 31, 2022, we had cash of $1,147,654 held outside the Trust Account. We will use the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering
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
intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the
Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial business combination. To the
extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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.
We
do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following our Initial Public Offering in order to meet the expenditures required
for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence
and negotiating an initial 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 initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate
our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of
our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual
Obligations
Registration
Rights
The
holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital
Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion
of the Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective
date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands,
that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect
to registration statements filed subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination. The Company bears the expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriters
Agreement
In
connection with the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering
to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments. On November 16, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised
the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 2,495,246 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional
gross proceeds of $24,952,460 to the Company.
The
underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,999,049 in the aggregate, which became payable at the closing
of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,998,336 in the
aggregate. 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.
Investment
Advisory Agreement
On
October 28, 2021, the Company and the Sponsor entered into an agreement with Sustainable Development Capital LLP (the “Advisor”),
a London-based investment firm and affiliate of the Company and Sponsor, whereby the Advisor agreed to provide administrative, consulting,
and other services to affect the Company’s initial Business Combination. In consideration of the services performed: (1) the Company
and Sponsor shall procure the transfer of the legal and beneficial title to at least 659,844 Founder Shares, or at the sole election
of the Sponsor, the payment of an amount equal to the cash value (as determined as of the date of such payment) of such number of Founder
Shares, to the Advisor immediately prior to the winding up and liquidation of the Sponsor, or such other date as shall be agreed in writing
between the Sponsor and Advisor; and (2) the Sponsor shall pay to the Advisor the sum of $20,000 per month as an ongoing advisory fee
and subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). The compensation
expense related to the above Founder Share transfer of 659,844 shares is amortized on a straight-line basis from the Grant Date of October 28,
2021 (the date at which the Investment Advisory Agreement was signed, and the date at which all parties reached a mutual understanding
of the key terms and conditions of the share-based payment) to November 2, 2023 (the date at which the combination period for the
Company’s initial business combination expires). Such Advisory Agreement is accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation –
Stock Compensation.
Administrative
Support Agreement
On
October 28, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office
space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company
will cease paying these monthly fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, $60,000 of administrative support expenses were
incurred.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of 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:
Net
Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
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. The immediate re-measurement of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income (loss) per share
as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the net income (loss) per share calculation allocates income and losses shared
pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income (loss) per share is the same for Class A
and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering, the partial
exercise of the over-allotment option, and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 18,996,197 shares in the calculation of diluted
income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted
income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the period presented.
Class
A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All
of the 19,995,246 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the over-allotment
option contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation,
if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments
to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance
on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption
provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent
equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares has been classified outside of permanent equity.
The
Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares
to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary
shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
Share-Based
Compensation
Share-based
compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718, Compensation–Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”),
which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange
for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, non-employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange
for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, non-employee and director
services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. For the three months ended March 31,
2022, the Company recognized $— of share-based compensation related to 659,844 Founder Shares to be transferred to Sustainable
Development Capital LLP for certain services performed per the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). For derivative financial instruments
that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then
re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative
instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting
period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement
or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge
exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all financial instruments to determine if such instruments
are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC
815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as
equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The
warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and exercise of the over-allotment (the “Public Warrants”)
and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes
the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities
are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s
statements of operations. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent
measurement of the Public Warrants after detachment from the Units issued in the Initial Public Offering is classified as Level 1 due
to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker SEDA.WS. The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo Simulation
model to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations.
The estimated fair value of the Private Placement warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo Simulation
model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company
estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected
remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The
dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified
as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation
of current liabilities.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.
