Our sponsor is Khosla Ventures SPAC Sponsor III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on March 23, 2021. On March 26, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 56,330,222 Public Shares at $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $563,302,226, and incurring offering costs of $31,705,310, inclusive of $19,715,578 in deferred underwriting fees payable.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the private placement of 1,426,605 private placement shares at a price of $10.00 per private placement share to the sponsor, generating proceeds of $14,266,050.
Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement, the $563,302,226 of net proceeds from the IPO and certain of the proceeds of the private placement were placed in a trust account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 180 days or less, classified as trading securities. 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 these securities is included in gain on marketable securities, dividends and interest held in the trust account in the accompanying statements of operations. The fair value for trading securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by March 26, 2023 (24 months from the closing of the IPO), or June 26, 2023 (27 months from the closing of the IPO), if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination by March 26, 2023, and our stockholders have not amended the certificate of incorporation to extend such period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes as well as expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the 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.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business Combination after our IPO) nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2022 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. 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.
