NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SCVX Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), today announced that it will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares (the “Class A Shares”), effective as of August 11, 2022, because the Company will not complete the consummation of an initial business combination within the time period required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles of Association”).
As stated in the Company’s Articles of Association, if the Company does not consummate an initial business combination within 24 months of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, or such later time as the shareholders of the Company may determine, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), including interest (less up to US $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then Class A Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the holders of Class A Shares as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
Net of taxes and dissolution expenses, the per-share redemption price for the Class A Shares is expected to be approximately $10.03 (the “Redemption Amount”).
The Company had previously scheduled an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (“EGM”) on July 27, 2022 to vote on a proposal to extend the time period under the Articles of Association during which the Company may consummate an initial business combination; however, no business was conducted at this meeting..
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company’s initial shareholders waived their redemption rights with respect to the outstanding Class B ordinary shares issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering.
Registered holders may redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the Trust Account upon presentation of their respective share or unit certificates or other delivery of their shares or units to Continental. Beneficial owners of Class A Shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption Amount. The redemption of the Class A Shares is expected to be completed within ten business days after July 28, 2022.
The Company expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
