NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

Note 1 - Description of Organization, Business Operations and Liquidity

 

Organization and General

 

FAST Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on December 30, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. On July 11, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Flacon’s Beyond Global, Inc. (“Pubco”), Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (which has since redomesticated as a Delaware limited liability company, “Falcon’s”) and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which, on the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company would complete its initial Business Combination.

 

The Business Combination was effected between October 5, 2023 and October 6, 2023 in two steps: (a) on October 5, 2023 (the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”), the Company merged with and into Pubco (the “SPAC Merger”), with Pubco surviving as the sole owner of Merger Sub, followed by a contribution by Pubco of all of its cash (except for cash required to pay certain transaction expenses) to Merger Sub to effectuate the “UP-C” structure; and (b) on October 6, 2023 (the “Acquisition Merger Effective Time”), Merger Sub merged with and into Falcon’s (the “Acquisition Merger”), with Falcon’s as the surviving entity of such merger. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the direct interests in Falcon’s were held by Pubco and certain holders of the limited liability company units of Falcon’s outstanding as of immediately prior to the Business Combination. Unless stated otherwise, these unaudited condensed financial statements contain information about the Company before the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 30, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for, negotiation, and efforts to consummate an initial Business Combination. The Company did not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generated non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

 

The Company’s sponsor is FAST Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 15, 2021. On March 18, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.6 million, inclusive of $7.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). The Company granted the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering (the “underwriter”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part and, on March 26, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 2,233,687 units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $22.3 million (the “Over-Allotment”), and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $1.2 million, inclusive of approximately $0.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.0 million. The Company consummated a second closing (the “Second Closing”) of the Private Placement simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on March 26, 2021, for an additional 297,825 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of approximately $0.4 million (see Note 4).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placement, $222.3 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and were invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

 

From March 2023 through September 30, 2023, the funds in the trust account are maintained in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and liquidation.

 

On March 3, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”), in which the Company’s stockholders voted to approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”) to (i) change the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from March 18, 2023 (the “Current Outside Date”) to June 18, 2023 (the “Extended Date”), and (ii) to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board, to elect to further extend this date in one-month increments (the “Additional Extended Date”), up to four additional times (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

 

In connection with the Extension Amendment, 15,098,178 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock were redeemed for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.1498 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $153.24 million. Following such redemptions, 7,135,509 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock remained outstanding and approximately $72.42 million remained in the Company’s Trust Account as of such date before the deposit of funds by the Company as described in the following paragraph.

 

Also, in connection with the Extension Amendment and the extension of the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination to June 18, 2023, the Company caused $750,000, or approximately $0.1051 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock outstanding after giving effect to the redemptions disclosed above, to be deposited in the Company’s Trust Account. Such funds were provided by Infinite Acquisitions LLLP pursuant to the Promissory Note as described in Note 5.

 

On June 9, 2023, July 7, 2023, August 15, 2023 and September 13, 2023, the board of directors, upon request of FAST Sponsor II LLC, elected to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination (the “Termination Date”) from June 18, 2023 to July 18, 2023, from July 18, 2023 to August 18, 2023, from August 18, 2023 to September 18, 2023 and from September 18, 2023 to October 18, 2023, respectively. In connection with such one-month extensions of the Termination Date, as required by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date (the “Charter”), on June 12, 2023, July 17, 2023, August 16, 2023 and September 14, 2023, the Company deposited $1,000,000 ($250,000 per each one-month extension) into the Trust Account.

  

In connection with the shareholder vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting on March 10, 2023, the Company’s public shareholders had the right to elect to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares for a per share price calculated in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents. The Company’s public shareholders holding 15,098,178 Class A ordinary shares validly elected to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account for approximately $153.24 million (approximately $10.15 per share).

 

Amendment to Promissory Note

 

On July 7, 2023, the Company and Infinite Acquisitions LLLP (“Infinite”) entered into an amendment (the “Promissory Note Amendment”) to that certain promissory note dated as of January 31, 2023 (as amended, the “Promissory Note”), which increased the amount Infinite agreed to advance to SPAC to be up to $2,250,000. As of the date of the Promissory Note Amendment, Infinite had already advanced $1,500,000 (out of $2,250,000) to SPAC under the Promissory Note. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and repayable, in cash, or, at Pubco’s option, in shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger and would be forgiven without payment if the A&R Merger Agreement is terminated. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, on October 6, 2023, Pubco elected to convert the principal amount of $2.25 million outstanding under the Promissory Note into 225,000 shares of Pubco’s Class A common stock.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2023, or any future period.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 29, 2023.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limits of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents held outside the Trust Account as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Investments Held in Trust Account

 

In March 2023, the Company liquidated the U.S. “government securities” held in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account are maintained in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and liquidation. Prior to liquidating the U.S. “government securities”, the Company’s portfolio of investments was comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments were classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of money market funds, the investments were recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds were presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities were included in gain from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account were determined using available market information.

 

Cash held in Trust Account for redeemed shares represents amount owed to stockholders for the shares of common stock they elected to redeem in connection with the shareholder meeting held on September 26, 2023, which was not paid as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the amount due to redeemed stockholders is reflected as common stock to be redeemed in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” equals or approximates the fair values for such assets and liabilities either because the short-term nature of the instruments or because the instrument is recognized at fair value (see Note 9).

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:

 

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

 

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Working Capital Loan - Related Party and Convertible Promissory Note

 

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for its working capital loan-related party with its Sponsor as defined and more fully described in Note 4, in addition to its Promissory Note with Infinite as described in Note 5. As a result of applying the fair value option, the Company records each draw at fair value with a gain or loss recognized at issuance, and subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as change in the fair value of working capital loan-related party and convertible promissory note on the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The fair value is based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s and, if applicable, an independent third-party valuation firm’s own assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Black-Scholes Merton model. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities may be subject to change as more current information becomes available, and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

 

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

 

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were charged against the carrying value of the shares of Class A common stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and Over-Allotment. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

 

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

 

Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events, and accordingly, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 362,665 and 22,233,687 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets, respectively. The Company’s Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at September 30, 2023 includes the 6,772,844 shares of common stock that were exercised to be redeemed in connection with the stockholders’ vote at the special meeting of stockholders on September 26, 2023. However, the redemptions did not occur until October 4, 2023.

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

Under ASC 480-10-S99, the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security.

 

Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Subsequently, the Company recognized changes in the redemption value as an increase in redemption value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as reflected on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred tax assets with a full valuation allowance against them.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

Share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees are measured at grant-date fair value of the awards and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. For awards that have a performance condition, compensation cost is measured based on the grant date fair value and recognized when the performance condition becomes probable. The Company assesses the probability of the performance conditions being met on a continuous basis. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. No compensation expense for share-based payment awards has been recognized to date.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 9,856,247 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. The Company has considered the effect of Class B shares of common stock that were excluded from the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding as they were contingent on the exercise of over-allotment option by the underwriter. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statement.

 

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

 

On March 18, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.6 million, inclusive of $7.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

 

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 9).

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part, and on March 26, 2021, purchased additional 2,233,687 units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $22.3 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $1.2 million, inclusive of approximately $0.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

 

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On January 6, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On March 26, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option to purchase 2,233,687 additional units for a total of 22,233,687 Units; thus, the initial stockholders forfeited 191,578 shares of Class B common stock accordingly. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,558,422 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, none subject to forfeiture.

 

The initial stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the last reported sales price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.0 million. On March 26, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an additional 297,825 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a Second Closing, generating proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.

 

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

 

Related Party Loans

 

On January 6, 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 the Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed $100,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, the loan was no longer available.

 

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or 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 may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. 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 lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

 

On May 4, 2022, the Sponsor provided a $600,000 Working Capital Loan to the Company in the form of a convertible promissory note that is due upon the completion of a Business Combination. At any time on or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, at the option of the lender, any outstanding amount of the Working Capital Loan may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. On July 20, 2022, the Company borrowed an additional $500,000 from the Sponsor and amended the convertible promissory note to increase the principal balance to $1.1 million. The Working Capital Loan does not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor, if not converted, on the effective date of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses. Due to the conversion feature within the Working Capital Loan, the estimated fair value of the Working Capital Loan was $1,098,909 and $1,094,749, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively (see Note 9).

 

Administrative Service Agreement

 

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange and continuing until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the Company’s management team. The Company incurred approximately $45,000 and $135,000 in administrative expenses under the agreement, respectively, which are recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, within administrative expenses - related party. The Company incurred approximately $45,000 and $135,000 in administrative expenses under the agreement, respectively, which are recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, within administrative expenses - related party. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $75,000 and $15,000, respectively, included in due to related party were outstanding in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

 

The Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or their affiliates. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no such outstanding balance presented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, respectively.

Registration Rights

 

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (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), were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders were entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $0.35 per unit, or $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Over-Allotment on March 26, 2021, the underwriter was entitled to an additional fee of approximately $447,000 paid upon closing, and an approximately $782,000 in deferred underwriting commissions.

 

On January 31, 2023, the engagement letter between the Company and the underwriter was amended to provide that in lieu of the fees under the original engagement letter and underwriting agreement, at the closing of the business combination with Falcon described in Note 1, the underwriter will be entitled to a fee $7,781,790 (inclusive of amounts owed as deferred underwriting commission from the Initial Public Offering and for acting as financial and capital markets advisor to the Company), an additional one-time discretionary fee of $1,000,000 under certain circumstances, and the right to receive a portion of the Seller Earnout Shares. A portion of the fees may be deferred until up to two years after the closing of the business combination with Falcon.

 

Convertible Promissory Note

 

On January 31, 2023, the Company and Infinite entered into a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) pursuant to which Infinite agreed to advance up to $2,000,000 to the Company, with any advances under the Promissory Note to be used by the Company to pay certain expenses of the Extension. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and repayable, in cash, or, at Pubco’s option, in shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger and will be forgiven without payment if the A&R Merger Agreement is terminated.

 

On July 7, 2023, the Company and Infinite entered into an amendment (the “Promissory Note Amendment”) to that certain promissory note dated as of January 31, 2023 (as amended, the “Promissory Note”), which increased the amount Infinite agreed to advance to the Company to be up to $2,250,000. As of the date of the Promissory Note Amendment, Infinite had already advanced $1,500,000 (out of $2,250,000) to the Company under the Promissory Note.

 

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, on October 6, 2023, Pubco elected to convert the principal amount of $2.25 million outstanding under the Promissory Note into 225,000 shares of Pubco’s Class A common stock.

 

Consulting Agreement

 

On June 13, 2022, the Company engaged a contractor (the “Contractor”) to perform technical diligence in exchange for a cash consideration of $125,000, with $50,000 paid upon execution and $75,000 payable upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Sponsor’s agreement to issue membership interest in the Sponsor that, in aggregate, represent an indirect economic interest in 25,000 Founder Shares, upon completion of the services. The grant date fair value of the Sponsor membership interests issued to the Contractor is compensation expense for the Company, and a contribution from the Sponsor to the Company for the same amount and is recognized upon completion of the services by the Contractor. Management estimated that the grant date fair value of the indirect economic interest in 25,000 Founder Shares was de minimis.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements, and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. On December 27, 2022, the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service issued a Notice 2023-2 (“Notice”), which provided interim guidance regarding the application of the corporate stock repurchase excise tax until the issuance of proposed regulations. The Notice excluded the distributions for a complete liquidation of a corporation from the base of the excise tax. The Notice also excludes from the scope of the excise tax any distribution made during the taxable year in which a corporation fully liquidates and dissolves, even if a distribution precedes the formal decision to liquidate.

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company’s stockholders redeemed 15,098,178 shares of Class A shares of common stock for a total of $153,242,918. The Company evaluated the classification and accounting of the stock redemption under ASC 450, “Contingencies”. ASC 450 states that when a loss contingency exists the likelihood that the future event(s) will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability can range from probable to remote. A contingent liability must be reviewed at each reporting period to determine appropriate treatment. The Company evaluated the current status and probability of completing a Business Combination as of September 30, 2023 and concluded that it is probable that a contingent liability should be recorded. The Company recorded $1,532,435 of excise tax liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed on March 1, 2023.

Note 6 - Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 380,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share.

Stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and holders of shares of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders except as required by law.

 

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by the holders of the Company’s Public Shares), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

 

Note 8 - Warrants

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,558,422 Public Warrants and 4,297,825 Private Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised in whole and only for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

 

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 

in whole and not in part;

 

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

The “fair market value” per share of Class A common stock for the above purpose shall mean the volume-weighted average price per share of Class A common stock during the ten trading days ending on the third trading day immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment).

 

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00:

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

 

in whole and not in part;

 

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants, but only on a cashless basis, prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A common stock;

 

if, and only if, the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

 

if the closing price of Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

 

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

(1)Includes $25 in cash as of December 31, 2022.

 

Transfers to/from Level 3 measurements are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The fair value measurement of the derivative warrant liabilities - Public warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement as they became separately listed and traded in May 2021.

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were no Level 1 assets. As of December 31, 2022, Level 1 assets included investments in U.S. Treasury Securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

 

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

  

For periods where no observable traded price was available, the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, was determined using Level 3 inputs. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Public Warrants was determined by their listed trading price and the fair value of Private Placement Warrants was estimated by employing a Black-Scholes Merton formula and a Monte Carlo simulation analysis.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized income of approximately $1.7 million and income of approximately $3.3 million, respectively, from a change in fair value in the derivative warrant liabilities, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.

 

Inherent in the Monte Carlo simulations and Black-Scholes Merton model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different. The Company estimated the volatility of its common stock warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. As of September 30, 2023, the Company estimated the volatility of its Private Warrants based on the implied volatility of the Company’s Public Warrants determined running simulations of the Public Warrant price. A significant increase or decrease in volatility alone could have a significant impact on the valuation. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

 

The following table provides quantitative information regarding the Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at their measurement dates:

 

   As of
September 30,
