Overview


We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 19, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination utilizing cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. Although we are not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, we intend to initially focus our search on identifying a prospective target business in the technology, media and telecommunications industries in the United States and other developed countries. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 23, 2021. On February 26, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the "Units" and the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units, the "Public Shares"), including the underwriters' exercise of their full over-allotment option of 4,500,000 units, at $10.00 per Unit ("Over-Allotment Option"), generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million (the "Initial Public Offering"), and incurring offering costs of approximately $18.8 million, inclusive of approximately $11.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale (the "Private Placement") of an aggregate of 5,933,333 warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") to our Sponsor, X-icity Holdings Corporation, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8.9 million.





                                       19




Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $345.0 million was placed in a trust account ("Trust Account") and we had $2.0 million of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $18.9 million in transaction costs, including $6.7 million of underwriting fees, $11.8 million of deferred underwriting fees and $0.3 million of other costs.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or February 26, 2023 (the "Combination Period"), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us (less 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 stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.





Results of Operations


We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from October 19, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2022, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held 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 $5.0 million which primarily consists of a gain of $5.2 million from changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $0.1 million, partially offset by operating costs of $0.3 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $3.3 million which primarily consists of a loss of $2.7 million from changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, warrant offering costs of $0.5 million and operating costs of $0.1 million, partially offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $6,916.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2022, we had $0.2 million of cash available for working capital purposes.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through the Sponsor's payment of $25,000 of our liabilities in exchange for issuance of 7,187,500 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the "Founder Shares"), and a promissory note (the "Note") issued by the Sponsor. We repaid the Note on February 26, 2021.

On February 26, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units, including the underwriters' exercise of their full Over-Allotment Option, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8.9 million.





                                       20




Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $345.0 million was placed in the Trust Account and we had $2.0 million of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $18.9 million in transaction costs, including $6.7 million of underwriting fees, $11.8 million of deferred underwriting fees and $0.3 million of other costs.

As of March 31, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $345,149,683. We intend to utilize substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on funds in the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $0.5 million. Net income of $5.0 million was primarily impacted by the noncash change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $5.2 million, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $0.1 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities which utilized $0.2 million of cash from operating activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $0.7 million. A net loss of $3.3 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities which utilized $0.4 million of cash from operating activities, were partially offset by the noncash change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2.7 million and noncash deferred warrant offering costs of $0.3 million.

We intend to utilize 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, the initial stockholders or their affiliates 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 $1.5 million 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.

If the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination exceed the funds available in the operating account, we would 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.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by February 26, 2023, then we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating, (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 (less amounts released to pay taxes 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 stockholders' rights as stockholders (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 our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case, to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.





                                       21




In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, we have determined that our liquidity needs as well as the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern, should we be required to liquidate after February 26, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022.





Contractual obligations


We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term cash obligations, other than the deferred underwriting commissions described below and an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees on February 23, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination or our liquidation.





Registration Rights



The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and securities that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated as of February 23, 2021. These holders are entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.





Underwriting Agreement


The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. The underwriters exercised their full Over-Allotment Option concurrent with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on February 26, 2021.

The underwriters were paid an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit (excluding the 400,000 units purchased by Pendrell and an affiliate of Craig McCaw as well as 517,500 shares purchased by certain other parties (total of 917,500 shares) with respect to which no underwriting discount is payable), or $6,716,500 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $0.35 per unit (excluding the 400,000 units purchased by Pendrell and an affiliate of Craig McCaw as well as 517,500 shares purchased by certain other parties (total of 917,500 shares) with respect to which no underwriting discount is payable), or $11,753,875 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters 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.





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 as critical accounting policies:





                                       22




Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold as part of the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature as described in the prospectus for the public offering. In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, redemption provisions not solely within the control of Colicity Inc. require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. As a result, all of our Class A common stock is classified as temporary equity.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides a minimum net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001. However, we believe classifying all of our common stock subject to possible redemption as temporary equity does not invalidate the $5 million requirement as we will not redeem our Class A common stock in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

Public and Private Placement Warrants

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering in accordance with ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ("ASC 815"), under which we have determined that the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of derivatives as contemplated in ASC 815, the warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of the change.





JOBS Act


The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.





Recent 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 financial statements.
