Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on
August 13, 2019 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business
Combination with one or more target businesses. We intend to effectuate our
Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Placement Units that occurred simultaneously with the
completion of our Initial Public Offering, our capital stock, debt or a
combination of cash, stock and debt.
On May 5, 2021, we entered into a business combination agreement (the "Business
Combination Agreement") by and among the Company, Ample Merger Sub, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub")
and Jasper Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Jasper"). The Business
Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into
Jasper, with Jasper surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, we
entered into Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors (as defined
in the Business Combination Agreement), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors
have agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and we have agreed to issue and sell
to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at
a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $100.0 million (the
"PIPE Financing"). The consummation of the PIPE Financing is contingent upon,
among other things, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement (the "Proposed Business Combination"). Under the Business
Combination Agreement, the obligations of each of Jasper and the Company to
consummate the Proposed Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties,
including, among others, the approval and adoption of the Business Combination
Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby by the requisite vote of
Jasper's stockholders and the Company's stockholders.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our
acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business
Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our only activities through March 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those
necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and
identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to
generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business
Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on
marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result
of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and
auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with
completing a Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net income of $5,498,071,
which consists of the change in fair value of the warrant liability of
$5,710,000 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust
Account of $2,473, offset by operating costs of $214,402.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had net income of $1,428,859,
which consists of the change in fair value of the warrant liability of
$1,390,000 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust
Account of $325,348, offset by operating costs of $228,666.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 22, 2019, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000
Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated
the sale of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of
$1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement
Warrants, a total of $100,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred
$5,944,772 in transaction costs, including $2,000,000 of underwriting fees,
$3,500,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $444,772 of other offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was
$317,750, which consists of our net income of $5,498,071, reduced by noncash
income derived from the change in fair value of warrant liability of $5,710,000
interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,473 and
changes in operating assets and liabilities, which used $103,348 of cash from
operating activities.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust
Account of $100,203,611. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may
be used by us to pay taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we
withdrew approximately $138,241 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay
for our franchise tax obligations. 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 Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to
pay taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in
part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining
proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance
the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and
pursue our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $590,605 held outside of the Trust Account.
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify
and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective
target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations
of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review
corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses,
and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our
Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to,
loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we
would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does
not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust
Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account
would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be
convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a
price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of
the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence
and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary
to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior
to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional
financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become
obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation
of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or
incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance
with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing
simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable
to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds
available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust
Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is
insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our
obligations.
Going Concern
We have until November 22, 2021 to consummate a Business Combination. It is
uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this
time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a
mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Management has determined that
the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and
potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. We intend to consummate a business combination by
this date but there is no guarantee we will be able to do so. No adjustments
have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be
required to liquidate after November 22, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021. We do not participate in
transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial
partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have
been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements,
established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of
other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
18
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease
obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay one of the
underwriters a portion of a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $3,500,000 in the
aggregate. Another portion of such deferred fee will be paid to a third party
that did not participate in the Initial Public Offering (but who is a member of
FINRA) that is assisting us in consummating a Business Combination. The deferred
fee will become payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the
event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the
underwriting agreement and subsequent related agreements.
On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a
relative of one of the members of the Company's Board of Directors. The
consultant will provide the Company due diligence services related to potential
acquisitions and, in return, receive a fee of $600 per hour for services
rendered.
The Company has an arrangement with an entity, which is 45% owned by the
Company's Chief Executive Officer, whereby it currently pays an aggregate of
$3,697 per month for office space. No written agreement currently exists, as
such, the payments are on a month to month basis.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses
during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Shares of Class A common stock
subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is
measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common
stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the
holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not
solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our common stock
features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our
control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class
A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity,
outside of the stockholders' equity section of our balance sheets.
Net Loss Per Common Share
We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per
common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is
calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of
applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A
redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per common share,
basic and diluted for Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by
dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A redeemable common
stock, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable common stock
outstanding for the periods.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or
foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including
issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives
or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480
and ASC 815-15. 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.
We issued common stock warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public
Offering and private placement which are recognized as derivative liabilities in
accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as
liabilities at fair value and adjust 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 statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued in
connection with the Initial Public Offering as of November 19, 2019 and December
31, 2019 has been estimated using Monte Carlo simulations at each measurement
date and subsequently using the public trading prices of such warrants. The fair
value of warrants issued in connection with the private placement has been
estimated using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model at each
measurement date.
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 our
condensed financial statements.
19
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and
Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in
Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for
certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that
require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from
convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance
pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The
new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and
freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own
equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including
the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments.
ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or
modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January
1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06
would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
