In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a business combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. $150,000 and $0 was borrowed under the facility as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
On August 30, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $250,000 to be used for expenses of the Company pursuant to a promissory note (the “August 2022 Promissory Note”) . This loan is non-interest bearing and is to be forgiven upon the consummation of the Business Combination. If the loan is not forgiven, the unpaid principal balance on such loan will be payable by MariaDB. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are $150,000 in loan amounts outstanding under the August 2022 Promissory Note.
On September 14, 2022, Mangomill and the Sponsor signed an intra-group loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) whereby the Sponsor shall make available to Mangomill a loan facility in an aggregate amount of EUR263,063.50 to be advanced upon Mangomill’s written request at any time between the date of the Loan Agreement and the time and date on which the cross-border merger of MariaDB Corporation Ab with and into Mangomill becomes effective (the “Effective Time”). The Note is non-interest bearing and is payable on the Sponsor’s written demand to Mangomill, or in absence of such prior demand, all outstanding principal will be due and payable to the Sponsor on the Effective Time. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no amounts were borrowed under the facility.
The issuance of the Loan Agreement was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. 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 entered into any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
At September 30, 2022, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of 2% of gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,000,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to aggregate deferred underwriting commissions of $8,750,000 consisting of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. With the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of 2% of gross proceeds, or $310,297, and were entitled to an additional deferred underwriting commission of $9,293,019. The deferred underwriters’ fee was placed in the Trust Account and will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement by and between the Company, Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. In May 2022, the underwriters terminated their co-placement agreement with the Company and agreed to forfeit the deferred underwriters’ fee they were entitled to.
