Kartoon Studios Acquisition Corp

What the company does

Kartoon Studios Acquisition Corp is a blank check company that intends to seek an initial business combination. Its sponsor, Toon Acquisition LLC, is expected to provide expertise and assist with sourcing a transaction but is not obligated to do so.

Use of proceeds

Of the proceeds received from the units and private placement warrants, $300,000,000 will be placed in a U.S.-based trust account, while approximately $1,000,000 will not be held in trust. The proceeds not held in trust will be used for expenses associated with a potential business combination, regulatory reporting and exchange fees, consulting and travel, administrative fees to the sponsor, and miscellaneous working capital.

Key risk factors

• Sponsor may not source a business combination

  “While we expect Kartoon Studios to provide expertise and assist us in sourcing an initial business combination, it is not obligated to and there is no guarantee it will source an initial business combination for us.”

• Sponsor financing is not guaranteed

  “In addition, Kartoon Studios is under no obligation to provide financing for our initial business combination.”

• Financing may dilute shareholders

  “Any financing, whether provided by Kartoon Studios or third parties, may dilute the value of our shareholders’ investment in us.”

• Founder-share dilution

  “Because our sponsor acquired the Class B ordinary shares at a nominal price, our public shareholders will incur an immediate and substantial dilution upon the closing of this offering, assuming no value is ascribed to the warrants included in the units.”

• Conflicts of interest

  “As a result, there may be actual or potential material conflicts of interest between members of our management team, our sponsor and their affiliates on the one hand, and purchasers in this offering on the other hand.”

• Incentive to complete an unprofitable transaction

  “The low price that our sponsor, executive officers and directors (directly or indirectly) paid for the founder shares creates an incentive whereby our officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit even if we select an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is unprofitable for public shareholders.”

• Limited completion window

  “We have until the date that is 12 months from the closing of this offering or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, to consummate our initial business combination.”

• Forward-looking statement uncertainty

  “These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.”
