On December 20, 2021, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the Class A Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Units commencing on December 23, 2021.

No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Holders of the Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into Class A Common Stock and Warrants.
