Reverse Recapitalization [Abstract] |
Merger Transaction | Merger Transaction Merger with Spring Valley In December 2021, NuScale LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. (“Spring Valley”) and Spring Valley Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Spring Valley. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into NuScale LLC (the “Merger”), with NuScale LLC surviving the Merger (the “Surviving Company”), Spring Valley being renamed NuScale Power Corporation, and NuScale LLC continuing to be held as a wholly controlled subsidiary of NuScale Power Corporation in an “Up-C” structure. On May 2, 2022, the Merger Agreement and Merger (collectively the “Transaction”) was completed. The Transaction is shown as a reverse recapitalization under GAAP. Spring Valley is the acquired company, with NuScale LLC treated as the acquirer. This determination reflects Legacy NuScale Equityholders holding a majority of the voting power of NuScale Corp, NuScale LLC’s pre-merger operations being the majority post-merger operations of NuScale Corp, and NuScale LLC’s management team retaining similar roles at NuScale Corp. Accordingly, although Spring Valley is the legal parent company, GAAP dictates that the financial statements of NuScale Corp will represent a continuation of NuScale LLC’s operations, with the Transaction being treated as though NuScale LLC issued ownership interests for Spring Valley, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of NuScale LLC are stated at historical cost, with no incremental goodwill or other intangible assets recorded for the effects of the Transaction with Spring Valley. The following table provides the historical cost of the assets and liabilities assumed as a result of the Transaction:
Cash |  | $ | 341,462 |
Warrant liabilities |  | (47,532) |
Total net assets |  | $ | 293,930 |
In connection with the Transaction, each Convertible Preferred Unit of the NuScale LLC was converted into common units using an exchange ratio, and each NuScale LLC common unit holder received a certain number of Surviving Company Class B common units and non-economic voting shares of NuScale Corp Class B common stock based on an exchange ratio. Holders of Surviving Company Class B common units have the right to exchange each Surviving Company Class B common unit they hold, together with the cancellation for no consideration of one share of NuScale Corp Class B common stock, par value $0.0001, for one share of NuScale Corp Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, (or cash), subject to certain restrictions. Further, in connection with the Merger Agreement, Spring Valley also entered into Subscription Agreements with PIPE Investors to purchase shares of NuScale Power Corporation Class A common stock. These investments were contingent on the closing of the Transaction. Additionally, $30,000 of these investments were contingent on the entry into definitive documents between the investor, Fluor Corporation and NuScale LLC with respect to certain ancillary commercial arrangements, which were satisfied in February 2022. As of June 30, 2022, these investors purchased 23,700,002 shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate amount of $235,000. Finally, in connection with the Transaction, the convertible loan held by Fluor, identified in the December 31, 2021 balance sheet as convertible note payable, was converted into 8,257,560 NuScale LLC Class B units in April 2022 (which then received Surviving Company common units and non-economic voting shares of NuScale Power Corporation Class B common stock). The Transaction resulted in NuScale LLC receiving cash in the amount of $341,462, consisting of $235,000 in PIPE funding and $145,525 in cash in trust, partially offset by transaction costs of $39,063. The following summarizes the Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Transaction, on May 3, 2022:
|  | Shares |  | %
Spring Valley Class A Shareholders |  | 14,400,369 |  | 6.5 | %
Spring Valley Founders (B) |  | 3,871,009 |  | 1.8 | %
Total Spring Valley |  | 18,271,378 |  | 8.3 | %
Legacy NuScale Equityholders |  | 178,396,711 |  | 81.0 | %
PIPE Shares |  | 23,700,002 |  | 10.8 | %
Total Shares at Closing (excluding shares below) |  | 220,368,091 |  | 100.0 | %
Remaining NuScale Consideration Shares - upon Exercise of NuScale Corp Options |  | 14,742,933 |  |
Other - Earn Out Shares (A) |  | 1,643,924 |  |
Total Shares |  | 236,754,948 |  |
(A) Spring Valley Founders also receive “Earn Out Shares”, should certain criteria be met. Fifty percent of the Earn Out Shares vest, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, if NuScale Corp trades at $12.00 per share or higher over any 20 trading days within a 30-day window during the 60 months following the closing and the dollar volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) is greater than or equal to $12.00 per share. The remainder of the Earn Out Shares vest if NuScale Corp trades at $14.00 per share or higher over any 20 trading days within a 30-day window during the 60 months following the closing and the VWAP is greater than or equal to $14.00 per share.
(B) Includes an aggregate of 120,000 Spring Valley Class B ordinary shares that were issued to Spring Valley’s independent directors.
Earn Out Shares The Company has excluded Earn Out Shares in the calculation of the ownership interests in NuScale LLC as the Earn Out Shares are subject to forfeiture if the achievement of certain stock price thresholds are not met within five years of the Transaction. To the extent these price thresholds are met, the Earn Out Shares will no longer be subject to forfeiture and the units will then be included in the calculation of the ownership interests in NuScale Corp. Warrants The Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants (collectively the “Warrants”) are included on the balance sheet as Warrant liabilities. We are required to measure the fair value of the Warrants at the end of each reporting period. See note 5 for the rights of the Warrant holders and note 6 for the valuation methodology. Tax Receivable Agreements Upon consummation of the Transaction, as part of the Up-C structure, substantially all of the assets of the combined company are held by NuScale LLC, and NuScale Corp’s only asset is its equity interest in NuScale LLC. NuScale Corp entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with NuScale LLC, each of the TRA Holders (as defined in the TRA), and Fluor, in its capacity as TRA Representative. Pursuant to the TRA, NuScale Corp must pay 85% of the net cash tax savings from certain tax benefits, if any, that it realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of any increases in tax basis and other tax benefits resulting from any exchange by the TRA holders of NuScale LLC Class B units for shares of Class A common stock or cash in the future. NuScale Corp will benefit from the remaining 15% of cash tax savings, if any, realized as a result of such tax benefits. Cash tax savings will be computed by comparing NuScale Corp’s actual income tax liability to the amount of such taxes that NuScale Corp would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of its assets as a result of the Transaction or the exchanges and had NuScale Corp not entered into the TRA (calculated by making certain assumptions). As of June 30, 2022, there have been no exchanges of Class B units for shares of Class A common stock or cash. NuScale Corp maintains a full valuation allowance and no liability related to the projection obligation under the TRA has been recorded.
