Founder Shares

In March 2021, the Sponsor acquired 6,468,750 founder shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, consisting of 6,468,750 shares of Class B Common Stock. Prior to the initial investment in the Company of $25,000 by the Sponsor, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The per share purchase price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the Company by the aggregate number of Founder Shares issued. The number of Founder Shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Sponsor forfeited 2,156,250 Founder Shares prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, reducing the aggregate number of Founder Shares held by the Sponsor to 4,312,500. In addition, prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor returned to the Company an aggregate of 190,000 Founder Shares, which the Company canceled, and the Company issued an aggregate of 190,000 Founder Shares (including 45,000 Founder Shares that were paid for in February 2022) to its director nominees and certain of its directors at Sponsor’s effective purchase price. In addition, as a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of the over-allotment option, our Sponsor forfeited an additional 387,500 founder shares, reducing the aggregate number of Founder Shares held by Sponsor, Directors and Anchor Investors to 3,925,000. These transactions have no impact on the number of Class B founder shares outstanding. Of the total 3,925,000 Founder Shares, 190,000 shares are held by Directors, 890,625 shares are held by Anchor Investors and 2,844,375 shares are held by Sponsor.

Class B Founder Shares

The Class B Common Stock is convertible into shares of our Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein. Prior to the Business Combination, only holders of the Class B Common Stock will be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors.

Certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors not affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor or any member of the Company’s management expressed to the Company an interest in purchasing up to 1,485,000 Units (the “9.9% Anchor Investors”) and 742,500 Units (the “4.95% Anchor Investors” and together with the 9.9% Anchor Investors, the “Anchor Investors”). In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, Sponsor sold 93,750 Founder Shares to each 9.9% Anchor Investor and 46,875 Founder Shares to each 4.95% Anchor Investor, or an aggregate of 890,625 Founder Shares, in each case at Sponsor’s purchase price. The Company estimated the fair value of the Founder Shares sold to Anchor Investors to be $6.65 per share. The estimated fair value of the Founder Shares are deemed as offering costs based on the company’s assessment of SAB Topic 5A, and as a result, were recorded as offering expense upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering.

Related Party Working Capital Loan

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Related Party Promissory Note

On March 12, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note. These loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of September 8, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was $0 and $0, respectively, outstanding under the promissory note.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date the Units are first listed on NASDAQ, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof in an amount equal to $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and period from March 12, 2021 (Inception) through December 31, 2021, $180,000 and $60,000, respectively, were expensed as under the arrangement. As of December 31, 2022, all administrative support fees were paid, and no additional amount was included in accrued expenses.
