American Ventures Acquisition Corp. I

What the company does

American Ventures Acquisition Corp. I is a blank check company incorporated in Florida to effect an initial business combination with one or more businesses. It has not selected a business combination target or initiated substantive discussions with a target. The company intends to identify and acquire a business where its management teams’ and affiliates’ expertise could provide a competitive advantage, including in technology, healthcare and logistics industries.

Use of proceeds

The company will hold the proceeds from the public offering in a trust account for the benefit of public stockholders who redeem their shares in connection with an initial business combination. Net proceeds not held in trust will fund accounting, due diligence, travel and other business-combination expenses, regulatory reporting obligations, and Nasdaq and other regulatory fees.

Key risk factors

• Substantial dilution

  “Because our sponsor acquired the shares of Class B common stock at a nominal price, our public stockholders will incur immediate and substantial dilution upon the closing of this offering.”

• Management 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 its affiliates on the one hand, and purchasers in this offering on the other.”

• No selected business combination target

  “We have not selected any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.”

• Business combination may not be completed

  “We have until the date that is 18 months from the closing of this offering (or 24 months from the closing of this offering if we have executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering) (as may be extended further by stockholder approval to amend our amended and restated articles of incorporation to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination) or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, to consummate our initial business combination.”

• Sponsor incentives and conflicts

  “The low price that our sponsor, executive officers and directors (directly or indirectly) paid for the founder shares creates an incentive whereby our sponsor, 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 stockholders.”

• Potential conflicts in target selection

  “Our sponsor, members of our management team and our independent directors (as consideration for each such director’s service as a director, as further described in this prospectus) will directly or indirectly own our securities following this offering, and accordingly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.”
