Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of 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 and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities, and certain Promissory Notes, are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged underwriters as advisors in connection with its business combination to assist it in holding meetings with the Company’s stockholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’s attributes, introduce it to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with the potential business combination, assist it in obtaining stockholder approval for the business combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. The Company will pay the Marketing Fee (as defined in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended, that was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2021) for such services upon the consummation of its initial business combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, including the proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters will not be entitled to such fee unless the Company consummates its initial business combination. In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 20,317,255 shares of Flame Class A common stock subject to possible redemption stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, representing approximately 70.67% of our issued and outstanding Flame Class A common stock subject to possible redemption stock. After this redemption, 8,432,745 shares of Flame Class A common stock subject to possible redemption stock remained outstanding. In connection with the Second Extension, stockholders holding 2,328,063 shares of Flame Class A common stock subject to possible redemption stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, representing approximately 27.61% of our issued and outstanding Flame Class A common stock subject to possible redemption stock. After this redemption, 6,104,682 shares of Flame Class A common stock subject to possible redemption stock remained outstanding. If no additional public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares of Flame Class A common stock, the amount of effective underwriting commissions due to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Business Combination will represent 15.9% of the aggregate proceeds from the Flame IPO retained by Flame.

Underwriters Agreement

On March 1, 2021, the Company paid a fixed underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $5,750,000 in the aggregate.

These costs are deferred until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
