Organization and Business Operations |
Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations Organization and General Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 30, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (the “Business Combination”). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”), and, since the completion of the IPO, a search for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income and dividends on cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company’s sponsor is Pegasus Digital Mobility Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). Pegasus Topco B.V. is a Dutch private limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TopCo”). The Company and TopCo’s financial statements are presented on a condensed consolidated basis. Financing The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on October 21, 2021. On October 26, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the underwriting agreement to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 9,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9,000,000. Depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, the Sponsor agreed to purchase an additional 900,000 Private Placement Warrants. On November 4, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on November 8, 2021, purchased 2,500,000 Units, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000,000. On November 8, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $750,000. Transaction costs related to the consummation of the IPO on October 26, 2021, amounted to $13,124,654 consisting of $4,500,000 of underwriting discounts, $7,875,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $749,654 of other offering costs. Prior to the IPO, qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors (the “Anchor Investors”) expressed to the Company an interest in purchasing Units in the IPO in exchange for the Sponsor agreeing to sell the Anchor Investors Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (“Founder Shares”). Upon the closing of the IPO, the Anchor Investors received 1,375,000 Founder Shares (“Anchor Shares”) from the Sponsor. The fair value of the Anchor Shares was treated as an issuance cost of the offering which was allocated to the Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants. On November 4, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 843,750 Founder Shares to the Company’s officers and independent directors. On December 6, 2021, 125,000 of the Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the expiration of the over-allotment option. All shares and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the forfeiture of the 125,000 Founder Shares. In April 2023, shareholders holding 15,300,927 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (as defined below). As a result, $160,337,374 was withdrawn from the Trust and paid to such shareholders. As of June 30, 2023, $76,959,827 remains in the Company’s Trust Account. Following the redemption, 7,199,073 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares remained outstanding. Trust Account Following the closing of the IPO on October 26, 2021, and the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on November 8, 2021, $227,250,000 ($10.10 per Unit) of the net proceeds from the sale of the Units in the IPO and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and were invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released to the Company from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of its initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Class A ordinary shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of its Class A ordinary shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO, which is extendable at the Sponsor’s option up to 21 months as described below (the “Combination Period”) or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (c) the redemption of its Class A ordinary shares if the Company is unable to complete its Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. Initial Business Combination The initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account). However, the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. On January 23, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $2,250,000 to the Sponsor (see Note 4). The Sponsor deposited the funds into the Trust Account. The Extension Note was issued in connection with the decision by the Company’s board of directors to exercise the first extension option in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination transaction from January 26, 2023 to April 26, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending 18 months after the consummation of the IPO) (the “First Extension Option”). The Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the consummation of a Business Combination by the Company. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Extension Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed under the Extension Note will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account. On March 15, 2023, the Company amended and restated certain provisions of the Extension Note to align the terms of the Extension Note with the March 2023 Promissory Note (as defined below). On April 19, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved of the adoption of the second amended and restated articles of association in the form proposed, to among other things (i) make certain updates to reflect the decision by the board of directors to exercise the First Extension Option pursuant to which the date by which the Company had to consummate an initial Business Combination was extended from January 26, 2023 to April 26, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending 18 months after the consummation of the Company’s IPO), (ii) amend the amount which the Sponsor is required to deposit in the Trust Account in order to exercise the second extension option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (the “Second Extension Option”) to $0.10 per Class A ordinary share then in issue (after giving effect to any redemptions of such shares which are tendered for redemption in connection with the results of the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on April 19, 2023), (iii) insert a third extension option to enable the board of directors to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from July 26, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the “Third Extension Option”), and (iv) insert a voluntary redemption right in favor of the holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares then in issue enabling public shareholders to redeem such shares on July 26, 2023 for 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 not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of Class A ordinary shares then in issue, if the board of directors elects to exercise the Third Extension Option. On April 24, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “April 2023 Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $719,907 to the Sponsor (see Note 4). The Sponsor deposited the funds into the Trust Account on April 28, 2023. The April 2023 Extension Note was issued in connection with the board of director’s exercise of the Second Extension Option under the second amended and restated articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination transaction from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending 21 months after the consummation of the IPO). The April 2023 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the consummation of a Business Combination by the Company. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the April 2023 Extension Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed under the April 2023 Extension Note will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the Trust Account. With the exercise of the First Extension Option and Second Extension Option, the Company would have had until 21 months from the closing of the IPO, or July 26, 2023, to consummate the initial Business Combination. On July 14, 2023, the board of directors elected to exercise the Third Extension Option to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination transaction from July 26, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (See Note 8). On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Gebr. SCHMID GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Schmid”), TopCo and Pegasus MergerSub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo (“Merger Sub”). The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”) were approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company, TopCo and Merger Sub as well as by Anette Schmid and Christian Schmid, the shareholders of Schmid (each a “Schmid Shareholder” and, collectively, the “Schmid Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company would merge with and into Merger Sub pursuant to Part XVI of the Cayman Companies Act (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the Merger, and each issued and outstanding Eligible Pegasus Share (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished in exchange for the Merger Consideration as defined and detailed in the Business Combination Agreement (such issuance, together with the Merger, the “Schmid Business Combination”) and each warrant issued by the Company (the “Pegasus Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the time the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”) will, immediately following the completion of the Schmid Business Combination, represent a warrant on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Pegasus Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as applicable, that is exercisable for an equivalent number of ordinary shares in the share capital of TopCo (“TopCo Ordinary Shares”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately after giving effect to the Schmid Business Combination, the Schmid Shareholders shall contribute their shares of common stock of the Company to Topco in return for such number of TopCo Ordinary Shares equal to the number of shares defined in the Schmid Business Combination (the “Exchange”). Immediately after giving effect to the Exchange, a notarial deed will be executed by a Dutch notary in order to change the legal form of TopCo from a private limited liability company to a public limited liability company and TopCo is currently intended to be renamed to “Schmid Group N.V.”. The obligations of the Company, TopCo, Schmid, and Merger Sub (each a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”) to consummate the Transactions are subject to the satisfaction or, if permitted by applicable law, waiver by the Party for whose benefit such condition exists of various conditions, including: (a) no legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Transactions shall be in effect; (b) the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement shall have become effective; (c) the Transaction Proposals (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall have been approved by the Company’s shareholders; (d) the Company’s shareholders shall have approved the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and execution of the transactions contemplated hereby and certain other matters related to the implementation of the Transactions and such approval shall continue to be in full force and effect; (e) after giving effect to the Transactions, TopCo shall have at least U.S.$5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”); and (f) TopCo shall receive a minimum of U.S.$35,000,000 in cash from the Transactions (from cash held in trust or private investments in public equity (PIPE)). Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and the fulfilment of the conditions precedent set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Schmid Shareholders irrevocably and unconditionally undertook (the “Schmid Shareholders Undertakings”) and agreed in each case to the extent legally possible and permissible (a) to fully support and implement the Transactions in relation to which such Schmid Shareholders’ support or participation is required or appropriate, (b) to omit any actions that could be of detriment to the implementation of the Transactions, (c) to vote or cause to be voted all of such Schmid Shareholder’s Company Shares (as defined in the Schmid Shareholders’ Undertakings) against any resolution that would reasonably be expected to impede or adversely affect the Transactions in any way, or result in a breach of any undertaking, representation or warranty of such Shareholder contained in the Schmid Shareholders’ Undertakings, and (d) to contribute its respective shares of the Company to TopCo in exchange for shares of TopCo substantially in accordance with the exchange table and the exchange ratio as set forth therein, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Schmid Shareholders’ Undertakings. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, each Schmid Shareholder entered into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which they agreed not to, without the prior written consent of the board of directors of TopCo, effect any transaction or enter into any arrangement that is designed to or that reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of any ordinary shares in the share capital of TopCo held by them immediately after the Closing, nor to publicly announce any intention to effect or enter the same, during the period beginning on the Closing and ending on the date that is one year after the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, the Sponsor, Schmid and certain individuals party thereto (comprising the officers and directors of the Company) (each, an “Insider”) entered into a Sponsor Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and the Insiders agreed to (i) vote in favor of all of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the meeting of the Company’s shareholders, including approval of the Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) waive certain adjustments to the conversion ratio and other anti-dilution protections set forth in the governing documents of the Company with respect to the Founders Shares owned by such Sponsor and Insider, (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to their Company shares prior to the Closing, (iv) to use 2,812,500 of the existing Founders Shares (half of the existing Founders Shares) to negotiate non-redemption agreements with certain holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares or to enter into PIPE subscription agreements with investors, and (v) be bound by certain lock-up provisions during the Lock-Up Period with respect to any shares or warrants of TopCo received in exchange for holdings in the Company in connection with the Transactions, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. The Company and TopCo are in ongoing discussions with investors as part of potential PIPE transactions. In case PIPE investors are committing to subscribe shares or instruments convertible into shares, the issuance of subscribed shares or such other instruments by such PIPE investors are intended to be completed substantially concurrent to the Transactions. At the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor, TopCo, and the Schmid Shareholders would enter into an amended restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and the Schmid Shareholders would be granted certain customary registration rights with respect to their TopCo Ordinary Shares, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. TopCo, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s warrant agent, would enter into a warrant assumption agreement (the “Warrant Assumption Agreement”) immediately following the completion of the Transactions, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company would assign all of its right, title and interest in and to, and TopCo would assume all of the Company’s liabilities and obligations under, the Warrant Agreement. As a result of such assumption, following the execution of the Warrant Assumption Agreement, each Pegasus Warrant would be exchanged for a warrant to purchase TopCo Ordinary Shares on the terms and conditions of the Warrant Assumption Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and certain directors and officers of the Company entered into a warrant grant agreement transferring 1,775,000 private warrants held by the Sponsor to such directors and officers, subject to certain conditions. On May 31, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “May 2023 Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of $1,400,000 to the Sponsor. The May 2023 Promissory Note was issued in connection with the decision by the Company’s board of directors to approve the Business Combination Agreement and to provide additional working capital to the Company. The Company would provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (1) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (2) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company would seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the board of directors of the Company, in its sole discretion. The Company will proceed with the Business Combination if the Company would have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of the Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company would also provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of its initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then deposited in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of its initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares that were sold as part of the Units in the IPO, which the Company refers to collectively as its Class A ordinary shares, subject to the limitations described herein. If the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company would redeem 100% of the Class A ordinary shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. The Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, and subsequently accreted to redemption value. In such case, the Company is expected to proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of the Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The initial shareholders, directors, officers and advisors agreed to waive: (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Class A ordinary shares held by them, as applicable, in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination; (ii) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Class A ordinary shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Class A ordinary shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares; (iii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any extended time that the Company has to consummate a Business Combination beyond the Combination Period as a result of a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (an “Extension Period”) (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Class A ordinary shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame); and (iv) vote their Founder Shares and any Class A ordinary shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Each of the Anchor Investor entered into an investment agreement with the Company pursuant to which they agreed that any Founder Shares held by them are (i) not entitled to redemption rights in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and (ii) not entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares the Anchor Investor holds in the event the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period. The Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.10 per Class A ordinary share or (2) such lesser amount per Class A ordinary share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company, and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy its obligations. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations. Liquidity and Going Concern As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $444,059 in cash and a working capital deficit of $6,949,116. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. Although no formal agreement exists, the Sponsor is committed to extend Working Capital Loans (as defined below) as needed. The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful. In addition, management is currently evaluating the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war and other macroeconomic conditions and their effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or the completion of the Business Combination. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Risks and uncertainties Management continues to evaluate the impact of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and resulting market volatility and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these events could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Although our financial results have not yet been adversely affected by the war in Ukraine, and we do not conduct business in Russia or Ukraine, our financial results, our ability to raise capital or raise capital on favorable terms, and a potential target business’s financial condition, results of operations, or prospects, may be adversely affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In addition, the United States and other nations have raised the possibility of sanctions on China, Chinese banks, and companies with operations in China that do business with Russia or its allies, including Belarus. Although we do not conduct business in Russia or Belarus, or with Russian or Belarusian counterparties, we may be impacted by sanctions imposed on third parties. Our operations may also be adversely impacted by any actions taken by China in response to the war or any related sanctions or threatened sanctions. Such actual or threatened sanctions and other geopolitical factors arising in connection with the way, such as continued political or economic instability or increased economic or political tensions between the United States and China, could also adversely affect our business and financial results, including our ability to raise capital or raise capital on favorable terms and the market price of our ordinary shares and/or a potential target business’s financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.
