REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION
The Company operates subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) dated September 30, 2021. On March 12, 2021, Maple Holdings Inc. (“Maple” or “pre-combination KORE”) entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Cerberus Telecom Acquisition Corp. (“CTAC”) ("the Business Combination”).

On September 30, 2021, pre-combination KORE and CTAC consummated the merger contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization whereby pre-combination KORE was determined to be the accounting acquirer and CTAC was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of pre-combination KORE with the acquisition being 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. Pre-combination KORE was deemed to be the predecessor and the consolidated assets and liabilities and results of operations prior to September 30, 2021 are those of pre-combination KORE. Reported shares and earnings per share available to common stockholders, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. The number of shares of preferred stock was also retroactively restated based on the exchange ratio.

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, 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 $25.0 million. The Company also repaid the outstanding related party loans of $1.6 million.

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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of 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. In connection with the Closing, 22,500,000 shares of the Company were issued to PIPE investors at a price per share of $10.00.
The number of shares of Class A common stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination were:
Shares Percentage
Pre-combination KORE shareholders 38,767,500  54.0  %
Public stockholders 10,356,593  14.4  %
Private offering and merger financing 22,686,326  31.6  %
Total 71,810,419  100.0  %
Additionally, there were outstanding public and private placement warrants to purchase 8,638,966 and 272,779 shares of common stock, respectively. Refer to “Note 10 – Warrants on Common Stock” to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Prior to the Business Combination, pre-combination KORE had a different capital structure comprised of several classes of preferred stock and warrants. As a result of the Business Combination, these were settled for cash or shares of common stock of the Company in lieu of cash.
