## Customers

The company does not sell products or services to end customers in the ordinary course; its primary counterparties are public investors, the sponsor, underwriters, and potential merger targets. After a business combination, the acquired operating company becomes the core business and the relevant customer base would depend on that target’s industry.

- **Public market investors** (primary) — Buy units, shares, and warrants for exposure to the SPAC structure and a future deal.
- **Sponsor and affiliates** (primary) — Provide private placement warrant capital and working capital support to fund the search process.
- **Potential acquisition targets** (primary) — Operating businesses that may combine with the SPAC to access public markets.
- **Underwriters and service providers** (secondary) — Support the IPO, compliance, legal, accounting, and transaction process.

- Public investors buying units, shares, and warrants
- Sponsor providing private placement warrant capital
- Underwriters distributing the IPO units
- Potential target companies for a future merger
- Post-combination customers depend on the acquired business

## Geography

Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. VI is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and operates as a U.S.-listed acquisition vehicle. Its economic activity is centered in the United States through the IPO, sponsor arrangements, and target search process, while any future operating geography will depend on the business it acquires.

- Incorporated in the Cayman Islands
- Listed and financed through U.S. capital markets
- Sponsor and underwriter relationships are U.S.-based
- Target search can extend across industries and geographies
- Future operating footprint depends on the acquired company

## Strategy

The company’s strategy is to identify and complete a business combination with one or more operating businesses using IPO proceeds, private placement warrant proceeds, and, if needed, additional financing. Its competitive position depends on sourcing an attractive target, negotiating terms, and completing a transaction before the SPAC lifecycle ends.

- **Source and evaluate acquisition targets** (short-term) — The company exists to find a suitable operating business for a merger or similar combination.
- **Preserve transaction financing flexibility** (short-term) — The deal may require cash, shares, debt, or a mix depending on target needs and redemptions.
- **Complete a business combination** (medium-term) — The SPAC structure only creates long-term value if a transaction closes and the company becomes an operating business.

- Identify a suitable target for a business combination
- Use trust proceeds and warrant capital to fund the deal
- Preserve flexibility through cash, shares, or debt consideration
- Use sponsor support and working capital loans for transaction costs
- Complete a transaction before the SPAC deadline

## Risks

The main risk is that the company may not complete a business combination on acceptable terms or at all, which would limit the purpose of the SPAC structure. It also faces redemption risk, transaction-cost risk, and valuation risk from warrants and other derivative instruments, all of which can affect the amount of capital available for a deal.

- **Failure to complete a business combination** [critical] — The company is a blank check vehicle and has no operating revenues until a transaction closes.
- **Shareholder redemptions reduce trust capital** [high] — Redemptions at closing can materially lower the cash available to fund the acquisition.
- **Warrant and derivative fair value volatility** [medium] — Private placement warrants and related liabilities are remeasured, affecting reported results.
- **Transaction and compliance costs** [medium] — Public company, legal, accounting, and due diligence costs are incurred before any operating revenue exists.

- No operating business until a combination closes
- Target search may fail or take longer than expected
- Shareholder redemptions can reduce deal capital
- Warrant and derivative valuations can create volatility
- Working capital may be insufficient for due diligence and closing

## Accounting

The key accounting issues are fair value measurement of warrant liabilities, transaction costs tied to the IPO and future business combination, and the treatment of cash held in the trust account. Because the company has no operating revenue, small changes in valuation assumptions and deal-related costs can materially affect reported earnings and balance sheet presentation.

- **Warrant fair value measurement** — Can create large non-cash gains or losses in reported earnings.
- **Transaction cost allocation** — Affects reported expenses, equity, and net loss.
- **Trust account interest income** — Offsets some operating and public-company costs.
- **Working capital loan conversion features** — May affect liabilities, equity instruments, and dilution.

- Fair value remeasurement of private placement warrants
- Derivative liability accounting for warrant instruments
- Allocation of IPO and transaction costs
- Interest income on trust account balances
- Working capital loans and possible warrant conversion
