Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Anzu Special Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 28, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with 1 or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).

While the Company may pursue a Business Combination target in any industry, the Company currently intends to concentrate its efforts in identifying high-quality businesses with transformative technologies for industrial applications. Since completing the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO” or the “Initial Public Offering”), the Company has reviewed, and continues to review, a number of opportunities to enter into a Business Combination with an operating business, but the Company is not able to determine at this time whether it will complete a Business Combination with any of the target businesses that the Company has reviewed or with any other target business. The Company intends to effectuate a Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), the Company’s capital stock, debt, or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 28, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 relates to organizational activitiesthe Company’s formation and those necessarythe IPO described below, and, subsequent to the IPO, identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidatesa target company for a Business Combination. The Company does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

The Company’s sponsor is Anzu SPAC GP I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Financing

On March 4, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 42,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units, the “public shares”) and, on April 14, 2021, the Company issued an additional 500,000 Units in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of 1 share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-thirdone-third of 1one warrant (the “Public Warrants”) of the Company, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase 1 whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $425,000,000 (see Note 3 and Note 7).

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 12,400,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor and, on April 14, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, , the Company issued an additional 100,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor. The Private Placement Warrants were sold at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $12,500,000.

Transaction costs of the IPO prior to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option amounted to $23,731,835 consisting of $8,400,000 of underwriting commissions, $14,700,000 of deferred underwriters’ commissions and $631,835 of other offering costs. Offering costs associated with the closing of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on April 14, 2021 amounted to $280,500 consisting of $100,000 of underwriting commissions, $175,000 of deferred underwriters’ commissions and $5,500 of other offering costs.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on March 4, 2021, $420,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”). Following the closing of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on April 14, 2021, an additional $5,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the additional Units and Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account are invested in a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company will not be permitted to withdraw any of the principal or interest held in the Trust Account except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any. The funds held in the Trust Account will not otherwise be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of:of (1) the Company’s completion of a Business Combination; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed a Business Combination by March 4, 2023 or during any Extension Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law. Based on current interest rates, the Company expects that interest earned on the Trust Account will be sufficient to pay taxes.

Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds from the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds from the IPO are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a Target Business. As used herein, “Target Business” means one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of a Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve such Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. The per-share amount to be distributed to the public stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 7)6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. As a result, shares of common stock were recorded at their redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).

The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, in its sole discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval unless a vote is required by law or stock exchange listing requirements. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of a Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of a Business Combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares of common stock and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The specific impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $127,105 and $149,845 in its operating bank accounts, respectively, and working capital deficits of $(3,304,092) and $(1,815,006), respectively.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Business Combination, the Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from Sponsor to cover for certain formation and offering costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of up to $300,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (see Note 5), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor may provide up to $1,500,000 to the Company as a working capital loan (the “Working Capital Loan”) (see Note 5). As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there was $750,000 and $0 outstanding the Working Capital Loan, respectively.

The Company may need to raise additional funds through loans from its Sponsor and/or third parties in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. If the Company’s estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating the initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial business combination. The Sponsor is not under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company, except pursuant to the Working Capital Loan described above. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If a Business Combination is not consummated by March 4, 2023 or during any Extension Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of these financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart ourOur Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is either not an emerging growth company or an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statementstatements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statement.statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statement,statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had 0 cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

CashInvestments Held in Trust Account

The Company'sCompany’s portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company'sCompany’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities.securities and are recognized at fair value. When the Company'sCompany’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities isare included in gain on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed statementstatements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. At June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for shares of its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Shares of the Company’sTopic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) areis classified as a liability instrumentinstruments and areis measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock that featurefeatures redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’sCompany's control) areis classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock areis classified as stockholders’stockholders' equity. The Company’sCompany's Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’sCompany's control and are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of the Company’sat March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption areis presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity (deficit) section of the Company’sCompany's balance sheet. There was no Class A common stock issued or outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, classified as permanent equity.

The Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO and were charged to temporary stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, as of June 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, offering costs in the aggregate of $24,012,335 (consisting of $8,500,000 of underwriting commissions, $14,875,000 of deferred underwriters’ commission and $637,335 other offering costs) had been incurred. Offering costs associated with the closing of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on April 14, 2021, amounted to $280,500 consisting mainly of $100,000 of underwriting commissions, $175,000 of deferred underwriters’ commissions and $5,500 of other offering costs.

The Company allocates the offering costs between its common stock and Public Warrants using relative fair value method, with the offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants expensed immediately. Accordingly, as of June 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, offering costs in the aggregate of $782,812 have been charged to the Company’s unaudited condensed statement of operations (consisting of $762,300 of underwriting discounts and $20,512 of other offering costs). Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock have been charged to stockholders’temporary equity.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year, excluding common stock shares subject to forfeiture. The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares.

The Company’s unaudited condensed statementstatements of operations include a presentation of lossincome (loss) per share for Class Ashares of common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of lossincome (loss) per common share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for redeemable Class A common stock is calculated by dividingConsistent with ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, accretion associated with the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of redeemable shares of Class A common stock outstandingis excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates its fair value. The calculation of diluted income per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued since original issuance. Netthe exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. However, the diluted earnings per share calculation includes the shares subject to forfeiture from the first day of the interim period in which the contingency on such shares was resolved.

A reconciliation of net loss per common share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable Class A and Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income attributable to redeemable Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding for the period. Non-redeemable shares of Class B common stock include the Founder Shares as these common shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.follows:

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes“Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 has been disclosed under Note 11, as well as the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities are considered de minimis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were 0 unrecognized tax benefits and 0 amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. The provision

A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a stand-alone instrument, meets the definition of an "embedded derivative" as defined in ASC 815. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company's equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be de minimis forsettled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash.

The Working Capital Loan has a conversion feature that allows for converting the loan into warrants, and is carried at fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting StandardStandards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own EquityEquity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current US GAAP. The ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021.
