NOTE 4 – REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION On September 30 , 2021 , pre-combination KORE and CTAC consummated the merger contemplated by the merger agreement (see Note 1 – Nature of Operations). Immediately following the Business Combination, there were 71,810,419 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 . Additionally, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 8,911,744 shares of common stock. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP as pre-combination KORE was determined to be the accounting acquirer. Under this method of accounting, while CTAC was the legal acquirer, it has been treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of pre-combination KORE issuing stock for the net assets of CTAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CTAC were stated at historical cost, with no
goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of pre-combination KORE. Reported shares and earnings per share available to holders of the Company’s common stock, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination (approximately one
pre-combination KORE share to 139.15
of the Company’s shares). The most significant change in the post-combination Company’s reported financial position and results was an increase in cash, net of transactions costs paid at close, of $63.2 million including: $225.0 million in gross proceeds from the private placements (the “PIPE”), $20.0 million in proceeds from CTAC after redemptions, $95.1 million in proceeds from the Backstop Notes (see Note 9)
, and payments of $229.9
million to KORE’s preferred shareholders. Additionally, on the Closing Date, the Company repaid the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility with UBS of $25
million. The Company also repaid the outstanding related party loans due to Interfusion B.V and T-Fone B.V. of $1.6
million. Refer to “Note 9 – Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings, net” and “Note 17 – Related Party Transactions”, to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company incurred $24.2 million in transaction costs relating to the Business Combination on the Closing Date, of which $24.1 million has been recorded against additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31
, 2021
and the remaining amount of $0.1 million was recognized as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31
, 2021
.
Upon closing of the Business Combination, the shareholders of CTAC, including CTAC founders, were issued 10,356,593 shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with the closing, holders of 22,240,970 shares of common stock of CTAC were redeemed at a price per share of $10.00 .
