Founder Shares
On February 18, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.005 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 5,031,250 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). In March 2021, the Sponsor transferred 50,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of the Company’s three independent directors. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on the first business day following the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 7. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, 406,250 Founder Shares were forfeited for no consideration on June 24, 2021, resulting in 4,625,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The per share price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount contributed to the company by the number of Founder Shares issued. The Founder Shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination.
On March 10, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company, the Sponsor, the holder of an aggregate of 4,475,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, elected to convert 4,475,000 shares of the Class B Ordinary Shares held by it on a one-for-one basis into Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, with immediate effect. In connection with the conversion, the Sponsor has agreed to certain transfer restrictions, a waiver of redemption rights, a waiver of any right to receive funds from the Trust Account and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination. Class B shares shall automatically convert into Class A shares at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder thereof.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares or Class A ordinary shares received upon conversion thereof until the earlier of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30- trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. The Company’s Founder Shares are subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to lock-up provisions in a letter agreement with the Company entered into by the initial stockholders, and officers and directors. The Sponsor has the right to transfer its ownership in the Founder Shares at any time, and to any transferee, to the extent that the sponsor determines, in good faith, that such transfer is necessary to ensure that it and/or any of its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates are in compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor transferred 150,000 Founder Shares to our three independent directors in recognition of and as compensation for their future services to the Company. The transfer of Founder Shares to these directors is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition (i.e. the remediation of the lock-up provision) is probable of achievement under the applicable accounting literature. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date the lock-up provisions have been remediated, or are probable to be remediated, in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the transfer of the Founder Shares. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not yet entered into any definitive agreements in connection with any Business Combination and as such, the lock-up provisions have not been remediated and are not probable to be remediated. Any such agreements may be subject to certain conditions to closing, such as, for example, approval by the Company’s shareholders. As a result, the Company determined that, taking into account that there is a possibility that a Business Combination might not happen, no stock-based compensation expense should be recognized through December 31, 2024.
On August 15, 2024, Corner Growth Acquisition Corp. 2 (the “Company”), CGA Sponsor 2, LLC (the “Original Sponsor”), and Connor Square, LLC (the “New Sponsor”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, among other things: (a) the Original Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 2,685,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company to the New Sponsor; (b) the New Sponsor executed a joinder agreement to become a party to that certain letter agreement, dated June 16, 2021 (“Letter Agreement”), and that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 16, 2021 (“Registration Rights Agreement”), both originally entered into in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), among the Company, the Original Sponsor, and certain equity holders of the Company; and (c) the Original Sponsor and holders of Class B Founder Shares granted the New Sponsor the irrevocable right to vote the retained shares on their behalf and to take certain other actions on their behalf.
Promissory Note – Related Party
On February 22, 2021, the Original Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of September 30, 2021, or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Note.
In connection with the change of Sponsor on August 15, 2024, the promissory note was formally cancelled, and no further obligations exist between the Company and the Original Sponsor with respect to this Note.
Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,950,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $7,425,000. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share (see Note 6). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. However, in connection with the transfer of the Sponsor’s stake to the New Sponsor on August 15, 2024, the Private Placement Warrants were canceled, and as a result, no further obligations or rights exist with respect to these warrants.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors had previously agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign, or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant. As of the filing date, December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no borrowings under any Working Capital Loans. Administrative Services Agreement
Pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement”) entered into on June 16, 2021, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of (A) $40,000 per month and continuing monthly until December 31, 2024, and (B) on December 31, 2024, an amount equal to $480,000 less any amounts previously paid by the Company for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the Company’s management team. As of June 21, 2022, the total amount of $480,000 was incurred. There have been no expenses incurred since June 21, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $0 in fees for these services, respectively, which is included in operating and formation costs on the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no fees outstanding for these services.
Operating and Formation Costs
Through December 31, 2024, the Sponsor and affiliates of the Sponsor paid operating and formation costs totaling $1,693,799 on behalf of the Company, of which $1,065,496 was paid as of December 31, 2023, and an additional $628,303 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2024. These amounts were included in “Due to Related Party” on the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023, and 2024.
However, in connection with the change of Sponsor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated August 15, 2024, all outstanding liabilities due to the Original Sponsor were written down to Additional Paid in capital. As a result, no amounts remain payable to the Original Sponsor as of December 31, 2024. As of that date, the New Sponsor had paid operating and formation costs of $25,813, which remained outstanding. |
