Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Stockholder Rights
The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of this offering, (ii) Private Placement Warrants, which will be issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of this offering and the shares of Class A common stock underlying such private placement warrants, (iii) private placement warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and (iv) the forward purchase shares that may be purchased pursuant to the related forward purchase agreements will have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them prior to the consummation of our initial business combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this 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. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
 
Underwriter Agreement
The underwriters were due a commission of $0.20 per unit, or $2,000,000 in the aggregate, on the first 10,000,000 Units sold in the IPO and the commission was capped at $2,000,000. Additionally, the underwriters agreed to reimburse the Company $1,235,000 for certain offering costs upon the IPO. On November 5, 2021, the Company paid a cash underwriting commission of $765,000 net of the reimbursement.
The underwriters are entitled to deferred underwriting commissions of $0.50 on the first 10,000,000 Units sold in the IPO and $0.70 per unit per Unit sold thereafter, or $6,050,000 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 an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement for the offering.
Anchor Investment
Certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors (none of which are affiliated with any member of the Company’s management team, the Sponsor or any other anchor investor) (the “Anchor Investors”), have purchased an aggregate of approximately $60.8 million of the units in the IPO at the public offering price. There can be no assurance that the Anchor Investors will retain their Units prior to or upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination. In addition, none of the Anchor Investors has any obligation to vote any of their public shares in favor of the initial Business Combination.
The anchor investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to our other public stockholders and will only be issued equity interests in our sponsor, with no right to control our sponsor or vote or dispose of any securities held by our sponsor. Further, unlike some anchor investor arrangements of other blank check companies, the anchor investors are not required to (i) hold any units, Class A common stock or warrants they may purchase in this offering or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any shares of Class A common stock they may own at the applicable time in favor of our initial business combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their public shares at the time of our initial business combination. The anchor investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the trust account with respect to the Class A common stock underlying the units they may purchase in the IPO as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, offering cost associated with the IPO includes $3,386,739 of excess value of the anchor investors. The valuation of $6.78 per Founder Share (or $3,391,739 in the aggregate) of the anchor investors was reduced by $0.01 per founder share (or $5,000 in the aggregate), the price paid for the founder shares.
Forward Purchase Shares
Crescent Park, which is one of the Company’s Anchor Investors, and Carnegie Park have agreed, as the forward purchasers pursuant to their respective forward purchase agreements entered into with the Company, to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Class A common stock in the case of Crescent Park and up to 500,000 shares of Class A common stock in the case of Carnegie Park (referred to herein as the forward purchase shares) at $10.00 per share (as such price per share may be reduced to $9.20 per share or further reduced to below $9.20 per share with respect to all or part of the forward purchase shares that are purchased in the manner described below) for gross proceeds up to $30,000,000 in the aggregate if all of the forward purchase shares are purchased at $10.00 per share (or up to $27,600,000 in the aggregate if all of the forward purchase shares are purchased at $9.20 per share or up to a lower amount in the aggregate if all of the forward purchase shares are purchased at less than $9.20 per share) in private placements that occurred concurrently with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.
The price to be paid for forward purchase shares will be reduced to or below $9.20 per share in the following circumstances:
 
   
to $9.20 if the aggregate purchase price paid by the forward purchaser at $10.00 per share would exceed the lesser of (i) a specified dollar amount and (ii) a specified percentage of the aggregate purchase price paid by the purchasers of the SPAC’s Class A common stock in private placements that occur on or prior to the date of the SPAC’s initial business combination (“PIPEs”);
 
   
and to below $9.20 if the price per share in any PIPE is less than $9.20 (in which case the price per share paid by the forward purchaser will be at an 8% discount from the price per share in such PIPE).
One of the forward purchasers and/or its affiliates is expected to purchase the Company’s public units. If such forward purchaser and/or any of its affiliates sell more than 50% of the aggregate number of the public units purchased in the IPO or, following the separate trading of the public shares and the public warrants, the public shares that are a component of the public units that are purchased by the forward purchaser or any of its affiliates in the IPO, in sales that are consummated on or prior to the initial business combination, then the price per share for the forward purchase shares will remain at $10.00 per share for forward purchase shares in an aggregate number equal to the number of public units and public shares sold by the forward purchaser and/or its affiliates in such manner.
 
The following assumptions were utilized in the determination of fair value for the FPA liability:
 
   
Each forward purchase share is one share of the Company’s Class A common stock. No payment is due from the forward purchaser until immediately before the initial business combination. The purchase price is $10.00 per forward purchase share, subject to the discounted purchase price. The discounted purchase price is either at $9.20 per share or at an 8% discount to the PIPE price if the PIPE is priced below $9.20.
 
   
The conditions upon obtaining a $9.20 purchase price are within the control of the holder of the forward purchase share (the “FPA holder”) because the FPA holder will control the aggregate purchase price of the forward purchase shares to be purchased by the FPA holder and, in the case of the forward purchaser that is expected to purchase public units, such forward purchaser and its affiliates will control whether such forward purchaser and its affiliates sell or redeem more than 50% of the public units (or, following the separate trading of the public shares and the public warrants, the public shares) on or prior to the initial business combination. The FPA holder that is expected to purchase public units is assumed to have no negative economic impact from not selling or redeeming more than 50% of the public units (or, following the separate trading of the public shares and the public warrants) on or prior to the initial business combination since such forward purchaser would be selling at market price, without knowledge of future pricing, so that not selling or redeeming and realizing the 8% discount to market price on its future purchase is actually a positive feature to such FPA holder. Therefore, the Company’s management assumed that the likelihood of the FPA holder to have a $10.00 purchase price is de minimus.
 
   
Management assumed a PIPE would be priced below $9.20 per share only 5% of the time and would be priced at $9.00 per share when it is priced below $9.20 per share.
The purchase of forward purchase shares by Crescent Park and Carnegie Park as the forward purchasers pursuant to their respective forward purchase agreements will be subject to their respective internal approval processes and the other closing conditions set forth in their respective forward purchase agreements. Since the decision whether or not to purchase the forward purchase shares will be in the sole discretion of the forward purchasers, there can be no assurance that such purchases will be consummated.
Each of the forward purchasers has the right to transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligation to purchase the forward purchase shares to one or more transferees who are affiliates of the forward purchaser (the “forward transferees”), subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. Any such forward transferee will be subject to the same terms and conditions under the relevant forward purchase agreement. The forward purchase shares will be identical to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the units being sold in the IPO, except that they will be subject to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions. The funds from the sale of the forward purchase shares will be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination and any excess funds will be used for working capital in the post-transaction company. This commitment is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their public shares and is intended to provide the Company with a minimum funding level for the initial Business Combination.
