- Private Placement Proceeds: $6,000,000 from the sale of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant.
- Trust Account Balance: $230,000,000 deposited into a U.S.-based trust account, inclusive of $9,800,000 in deferred underwriting discounts.
- Security Structure: Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Warrants are exercisable at $11.50 per share.
- Debt and Liquidity: The filing does not provide specific data on existing debt, operating cash flow, or profit margins, as the Company is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) pre-business combination.
Material Changes and Transactions
The primary material change is the transition from a private entity to a public company listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbols CUBWU (Units), CUB (Class A shares), and CUBWW (Warrants). The Company executed an Underwriting Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., which fully exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units. Additionally, the Company amended and restated its Memorandum and Articles of Association effective June 17, 2024.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Company has 24 months from the closing of the IPO to complete an initial business combination. If the Company fails to consummate a business combination within this period, the funds in the trust account (excluding interest used for taxes and winding-up expenses) will be used to redeem public shares. The filing notes that the Private Placement Warrants were sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and are identical to public warrants except as disclosed in the Registration Statement.
