NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

Registration and Stockholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) 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, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities 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 consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

On March 30, 2022, the underwriter exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. The total underwriting fee paid to the underwriter at the closing of the Initial Public Offering was $2,300,000.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

On March 23, 2022, the Company engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities in connection with a Business Combination, and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of Initial Public Offering.

Additionally, the Company will pay EBC a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the proposed Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with which the Company completes a Business Combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 90 days from the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, unless the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the Initial Public Offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110.

EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. Founder Shares (“EBC Founder Shares”)

On April 12, 2021 the Company issued to EBC and or designees an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $0.0001 per share for a total consideration of $20. The Company accounts for the fair value of the EBC Founder shares over consideration paid as offering cost of the Initial Public Offering, with a corresponding credit to stockholder’s equity.

The Company estimated the fair value of the EBC Founder Shares to be $519,415 and is recorded as an offering cost with a corresponding increase in stockholder’s equity. The Company established the initial fair value of the EBC Founder Shares on April 12, 2021, using a probability weighted model for the EBC Founder Shares. The EBC Founder Shares are classified as Level 3 at the measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs including the probability of a business combination, the probability of the initial public offering, and other risk factors.

EBC (and/or its designees) has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without the Company’s prior written consent until the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, EBC (and/or its designees) has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners.
