Note 1 - Organization and Plan of Business Operations

 

Stryve Foods, Inc. (f/k/a Andina Acquisition Corp. III) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 29, 2016 as a blank check company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (an “Initial Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry or geographic region, although the Company initially intended to focus on target businesses in the Americas.

 

All activity through June 30, 2021 related to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s search for an Initial Business Combination, specifically, activities in connection with the announced and subsequently terminated proposed acquisition of EMMAC Life Sciences Limited, (“EMMAC”) (which activities ceased in November 2020) and activities in connection with the Business Combination (as defined below) with Stryve Foods LLC (“Stryve”), as described below.

 

On July 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, Andina Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, B. Luke Weil, in the capacity from and after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as the representative for the shareholders of the Company (other than the Seller) (the “Purchaser Representative”), Stryve, Stryve Foods Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Seller”), and R. Alex Hawkins, in the capacity from and after the Closing as the representative for the members of the Seller (the “Seller Representative”).

 

As contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, the following occurred: (i) the Seller and Stryve conducted a reorganization via a merger pursuant to which the Seller became a holding company for Stryve, the former owners of Stryve became the owners of the Seller, and the former holders of convertible notes of Stryve became holders of convertible notes of the Seller, and pursuant to which Stryve retained all of its subsidiaries, business, assets and liabilities, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller, (ii) the Company was transferred by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and domesticated as a corporation in the State of Delaware, (iii) the Seller contributed to Holdings all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Stryve in exchange for 11,502,355 newly issued non-voting Class B membership interests of Holdings (the “Seller Consideration Units”) and voting (but non-economic) Class V Common Stock of the Company (subject to a post-Closing working capital true-up), (iv) the Company contributed all of its cash and cash equivalents to Holdings, approximately $37.9 million, after the payment of approximately $7.8 million to the Company’s shareholders that elected to have their Company shares redeemed in connection with the Closing (the “Redemption”) and the payment of approximately $10.4 million of the Company’s expenses and other liabilities due at the Closing, in exchange for newly issued voting Class A membership interests of Holdings and (v) the Company changed its name to “Stryve Foods, Inc.” In addition, the Company’s ordinary shares converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, without any action of the holder. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure, in which substantially all of the assets of the combined company are held by Holdings, and the Company’s only assets are its equity interests in Holdings.

 

On July 20, 2021, in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company: (i) issued 4,250,000 shares of Class A common stock to private placement investors for aggregate consideration of $42.5 million; and (ii) the Company issued 1,357,372 shares of Class A common stock to the Bridge PIPE Investment satisfied by the offset of $10.9 million of principal and accrued interest under outstanding Bridge Notes issued by Stryve, as part of the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the information in this report does not reflect the consummation of the Business Combination, which occurred subsequent to the period covered hereunder.

 

 

Initial Public Offering

 

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”) was declared effective on January 24, 2019 pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On January 31, 2019, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 10,800,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), which included a partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 800,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $108,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 395,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to certain shareholders, or their affiliates (collectively, the “Initial Shareholders”) and the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $3,950,000, which is described in Note 4.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $3,204,451, consisting of $2,700,000 of underwriting fees and $504,451 of offering costs.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 31, 2019, an amount of $108,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), which was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, which was the Business Combination with Stryve. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) were used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

 

Initial Business Combination

 

Pursuant to the Nasdaq Capital Markets listing rules, the Company’s Initial Business Combination had to be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such Initial Business Combination, although this could have entailed simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. The Company completed an Initial Business Combination on July 20, 2021, which was the Business Combination with Stryve. The Company sought shareholder approval of the Business Combination, which was obtained, and provided its public shareholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to certain limitations.

 

Failure to Consummate an Initial Business Combination

 

The Company initially had until July 31, 2020 to complete an Initial Business Combination. On July 29, 2020, the Company held a special meeting pursuant to which the Company’s shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete an Initial Business Combination from July 31, 2020 to October 31, 2020 (or December 31, 2020 if the Company had executed a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination by October 31, 2020). In connection with the approval of the extension, shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 4,303,096 ordinary shares. As a result, an aggregate of $44,063,656 (or approximately $10.24 per share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such shareholders.

 

On October 28, 2020, the Company held a special meeting pursuant to which the Company’s shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete an Initial Business Combination from October 31, 2020 to January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if the Company had executed a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination by January 31, 2021) (such date or later date, as applicable, the “Extended Date”). In connection with the approval of the extension, shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 5,174,508 ordinary shares. As a result, an aggregate of $52,996,135 (or approximately $10.24 per share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such shareholders.

 

 

On January 27, 2021, the Company held a special meeting pursuant to which the Company’s shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete an Initial Business Combination from January 31, 2021 to April 30, 2021 (or July 31, 2021 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination by April 30, 2021) (such date or later date, as applicable, the “Extended Date”). In connection with the approval of the extension, shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 300 ordinary shares. As a result, an aggregate of $3,073 (or approximately $10.24 per share) was released from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such shareholders and 4,417,096 ordinary shares are now issued and outstanding.

 

The Company completed an Initial Business Combination on July 20, 2021, which was the Business Combination with Stryve.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $59,163 in its operating bank accounts, $13,543,086 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for an Initial Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Public Shares in connection therewith. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $322,199 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations, if any.

 

Until the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company used the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar location of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses and structuring, negotiating and completing an Initial Business Combination, which was the Business Combination with Stryve.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had working capital deficit of $2,079,174, and it would have needed additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or its officers or directors. to meet the Company’s working capital needs. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was not able to provide any assurance that new financing was available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the Extended Date, which was the date the Company is required cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it has not completed an Initial Business Combination. The Company completed an Initial Business Combination on July 20, 2021, which was the Business Combination with Stryve, and has raised sufficient capital for its operations.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and/or results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
