Envoy Medical, Inc.
Overview, page 57
2.We note your disclosure elsewhere that your warrants are "out of the money," which
means that the trading price of the shares underlying the warrants is below the exercise
price and that as such, you do not expect warrantholders to exercise their warrants and,
therefore, do not expect to receive cash proceeds from any such exercise. We also note
that 55.3% of the total shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding were redeemed
in connection with the business combination. Please revise your MD&A to disclose the
exercise prices of the warrants compared to the market price of the underlying securities
and the likelihood that warrant holders will not exercise their warrants. As applicable, in
light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company will
receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity
between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the Class A
common stock, expand your discussion of capital resources to address any changes in the
company’s liquidity position since the business combination. We note that you "may seek
to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity
offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and
other marketing and distribution arrangements." If the company is likely to have to seek
additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on the company’s ability to raise
additional capital. Please also revise your cover page to describe the impact of the
warrants being out of the money and significant redemptions in connection with the
business combination on your liquidity, and update the discussion on the ability of your
company to fund your operations on a prospective basis with your current cash on hand.
3.Please expand your discussion here, similar to your disclosure on the cover page, to reflect
the fact that this offering involves the potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for
resale and discuss how such sales could impact the market price of the company’s
common stock. Your discussion should highlight the fact that Glen A. Taylor, who
beneficially owns 10,290,049 shares, or 52.6%, of your Class A Common Stock and
1,000,000 shares, or 22.2%, of your Series A Preferred Stock, and your Sponsor, who
beneficially owns 2,000,000 shares (1,000,000 of which remain unvested and subject to
forfeiture), or 10.2%, of your Class A Common Stock and 3,500,000 shares, or 77.8%, of
your Series A Preferred Stock, will each be able to sell all of their shares for so long as the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is available for use.
General
4.Revise your prospectus to highlight any differences in the current trading price, the prices
that each of the selling securityholders acquired their shares and warrants, and the price
that the public securityholders acquired their shares and warrants. Please also disclose the
potential profit that each of the selling securityholders will earn based on the current
trading price of your securities.
