Overview
We are a newly organized blank check company incorporated onFebruary 23, 2021 as aDelaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We were initially incorporated under the nameBH3 Acquisition Corp. and subsequently changed our name toCrixus BH3 Acquisition Company onJuly 21, 2021 . We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement of the private placement warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. Our units began trading onOctober 5, 2021 on the Nasdaq Global Market (the "Nasdaq") under the symbol "BHACU." Commencing onNovember 26, 2021 , the shares of Class A common stock and warrants comprising the units began separate trading on the Nasdaq under the symbols "BHAC" and "BHACW," respectively. Those units not separated continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol "BHACU." Transaction costs of the initial public offering amounted to$22,407,388 , consisting of$12,650,000 of underwriters' fees and discounts,$9,276,147 for the excess fair value of founder shares attributable to the anchor investors, and$481,242 of other offering costs. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer$8,050,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions. Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination. If we are unable to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the initial public offering (or 21 months or 24 months, as applicable), we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account, less up to$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of interest that may be used by us to pay our franchise and income taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and as further described herein, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. We expect the pro rata redemption price to be approximately$10.20 per share of common stock if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination once, and approximately$10.30 per share of common stock if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination twice (in each case, regardless of whether or not the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option), without taking into account any interest earned on such funds. However, we cannot assure you that we will in fact be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our public stockholders. 56

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs from the period ofFebruary 23, 2021 (inception) throughOctober 7, 2021 (date of the initial public offering) had been satisfied through the cash receipt of$25,000 from our initial stockholders to purchase the Founder Shares, and a loan of$300,000 pursuant to a note issued to our Sponsor (the "Note"). Subsequent to the consummation of the initial public offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied with the net 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, our Sponsor or its affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans ("Working Capital Loans"). To date, there are no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , the Company had approximately$1.13 million in cash outside of the trust account available for working capital needs and$232.3 million of cash and investment in liquid securities held in trust, which is not available for working capital needs. Based on the foregoing, our management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. Our management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from inception up toOctober 7, 2021 was in preparation for our initial public offering and, since the consummation of our initial public offering, the search for a prospective target business. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. For the period fromFebruary 23, 2021 (inception) throughDecember 31, 2021 , we had net income of approximately$12.43 million , which consisted of gain of$14.40 million from change in fair market valuation of derivative warrant liability,$.56 million in general and administrative expenses,$1.39 million in offering costs related to the public warrants, and loss from investment in the Trust Account of approximately$15,000 .
Founder Shares
InMarch 2021 , our initial stockholders purchased 5,750,000 shares of our Class B common stock, par value$0.0001 per share (the "Founder Shares"), for an aggregate price of$25,000 (1,450,758 of which were subsequently sold to our anchor investors at cost). Our Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full onOctober 7, 2021 . As a result, these shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. Holders of our Founder Shares (including the anchor investors) have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares and any shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of our initial business combination; and (ii) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds$12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property (except to certain permitted transferees). Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our initial stockholders with respect to any founder shares (except that our anchor investors will be permitted to abstain from voting founder shares). 57

Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, onOctober 7, 2021 , we consummated the Private Placement of 6,400,000 Private Placement Warrants in the aggregate at a price of$1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to our Sponsor, generating proceeds of$9,600,000 . Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of$11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the initial public offering held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete a Business Combination byApril 7, 2023 (or byJuly 7, 2023 orOctober 7, 2023 , as applicable, if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination), the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our Sponsor or permitted transferees.
The Sponsor and our officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.
Related Party Loans
OnMarch 12, 2021 , the Sponsor and the Company executed an unsecured promissory note pursuant to which the Company had the ability to borrow up to$300,000 in the aggregate to cover expenses in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the "Promissory Note"). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier ofDecember 31, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed$145,000 under the Promissory Note and the full amount was repaid onOctober 7, 2021 . No subsequent draws were made against the Promissory Note following repayment onOctober 7, 2021 and the outstanding balance remained at$0 as ofDecember 31, 2021 . In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender's discretion, up to$1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of$1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. The Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company's behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company's audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or their affiliates. 58

Table of Contents Contractual Obligations Registration Rights The holders of the founder shares, private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the initial public offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period, which occurs (i) in the case of the founder shares, as described in the following paragraph, and (ii) in the case of the private placement warrants and the respective shares of our Class A common stock underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Except as described in this Annual Report, the holders of the founder shares (including the anchor investors) have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earlier to occur of (a) one year after the completion of our initial business combination, or (b) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds$12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our sponsor with respect to any founder shares. We refer to such transfer restrictions throughout this Annual Report as the lock-up. In addition, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, our sponsor, upon completion of an initial business combination, will be entitled to nominate up to three individuals for election to our board of directors, as long as the sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration rights agreement.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of$0.20 per Unit, or$4,600,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the initial public offering and Over-Allotment. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of$0.35 per Unit, or$8,050,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity
("ASC 815"), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.
Investments Held in the Trust Account
Our portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised ofU.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 inU.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. The investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on marketable securities, dividends and interest held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. 59

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders' equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, atDecember 31, 2021 , 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the Class A common stock and Class B common stock, the Company first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the holders of the Class A common stock. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, the Company split the amount to be allocated pro rata between Class A and Class B common stock for the period fromMarch 12, 2021 throughDecember 31, 2021 , reflective of the respective participation rights.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):
For the Period from February 23, 2021 (Date of Inception) Through December 31, 2021 Net Income $ 12,427,342 Accretion of Class A common stock to redemption amount $ (37,127,388 ) Net loss including accretion of temporary equity to redemption value $ (24,700,046 ) For the Period from February 23, 2021 (Date of Inception) Through December 31, 2021 Class A Class B Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: Numerator: Net loss including accretion of temporary equity to redemption value $ (13,458,849 ) $ (11,241,197 ) Accretion of Class A common stock to redemption amount 37,127,388 - Net income (loss) $ 23,668,539 $ (11,241,197 )
Denominator:
Weighted Average Shares 6,884,354 5,750,000 Basic and diluted income (loss) per ordinary share $ 3.44 $ (1.95 ) As ofDecember 31, 2021 , no Founder Shares remain subject to forfeiture, as such the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and share in earnings. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the period presented
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on our financial statements. 60
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As ofDecember 31, 2021 , we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
