Company Description
SilverBox Corp V (NYSE: SBXE) is a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. According to its public disclosures, the company may pursue an initial business combination in any business or industry and intends to focus its search on a target business in an industry where it believes the expertise of its management team can provide a competitive advantage in completing a successful initial business combination.
SilverBox Corp V is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and has its principal offices in Austin, Texas. Its securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The company’s units, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant, trade under the symbol SBXE.U. The Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units trade under the symbol SBXE, and the redeemable warrants trade under the symbol SBXE.WS, each on the New York Stock Exchange.
Each whole redeemable warrant included in the units entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, as disclosed in the company’s offering announcement. The units were initially offered to the public in an upsized initial public offering, following the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933.
As a SPAC, SilverBox Corp V’s business model is centered on identifying and completing an initial business combination within a defined timeframe. In connection with its initial public offering, the company and its directors and officers entered into agreements that, among other things, address how they will vote any Class A ordinary shares they hold in favor of the company’s initial business combination and outline their obligations to facilitate the liquidation and winding up of the company if a business combination is not consummated within 24 months or such longer period as approved by shareholders. These agreements also include transfer restrictions with respect to the company’s securities.
SilverBox Corp V has disclosed that it is an emerging growth company under the U.S. securities laws, which allows it to take advantage of certain reduced reporting and compliance requirements compared to more seasoned issuers. The company’s governance structure includes an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of its Board of Directors.
In a reported corporate governance development, the Board of Directors appointed additional directors to the Board and to its key committees. These directors entered into indemnity agreements in the same form as the company’s standard form of indemnification agreement with its other directors, and they are signatories to the letter agreement entered into in connection with the initial public offering. The company has stated that there are no family relationships between these directors and any other director or executive officer and that they have not engaged in related party transactions that would be reportable under applicable SEC rules.
Investors and analysts evaluating SBXE as a SPAC typically focus on its stated objective of effecting a business combination, its jurisdiction of incorporation, its listing on the New York Stock Exchange, and the structure of its units, shares, and warrants as disclosed in its SEC filings and offering materials.
