Description of the Business Combination

 

As previously announced, Pubco entered into that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 31, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated June 25, 2023, Amendment No. 2 dated July 7, 2023, and Amendment No. 3 dated September 1, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pubco, FAST II, the Company, and Palm Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”).

 

 

 

 

As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination (as defined below) was effected in two steps: (a) on October 5, 2023 (the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”), FAST II 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 the Company (the “Acquisition Merger,” and collectively with the SPAC Merger, the “Business Combination”), with the Company as the surviving entity of such merger. Following the consummation of the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), the direct interests in the Company were held by Pubco and certain holders of the limited liability company units of the Company (the “Company Units”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Business Combination.

 

A special meeting of FAST II stockholders was held on September 26, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), where the FAST II stockholders considered and approved, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby. Prior to the Special Meeting, 6,772,844 holders of FAST II Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the cash in the FAST II trust account, which equaled approximately $10.63 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $72 million.

 

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, on October 4, 2023, (w) all 5,588,422 outstanding shares of FAST II’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “FAST II Class B Common Stock”), were converted into 5,588,422 shares of FAST II’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “FAST II Class A Common Stock” and such conversion, the “Class B Exchange”), (x) FAST Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) converted $1.1 million principal amount of working capital loans into 733,333 warrants of FAST II (“Working Capital Warrants”) with the same terms as the FAST II Private Placement Warrants, (y) each unit of FAST II outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time was automatically separated and the holder thereof was deemed to hold one share of FAST II Class A Common Stock and one-quarter of one warrant of FAST II (“FAST II Warrant”), and (z) 6,772,844 shares of FAST II Class A Common Stock for which redemption rights were properly exercised and not withdrawn were redeemed for an aggregate of approximately $72 million paid from FAST II’s trust account.

 

At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, (1) each outstanding share of FAST II Class A Common Stock (except for each share of FAST II Class A Common Stock converted from the FAST II Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Class B Exchange and the shares of FAST II Class A Common Stock redeemed by public shareholders) was automatically cancelled in exchange (the “Conversion”) for 0.580454 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco Class A Common Stock”) and 0.5 shares of 8% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco Series A Preferred Stock”); (2) the 5,588,422 shares of FAST II Class A Common Stock converted from the FAST II Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Class B Exchange were automatically cancelled in exchange for (A) 5,588,422 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and (B) the right to receive 1,162,500 Earnout Shares (in the form of Pubco Class A Common Stock); and (3) each FAST II Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time (including FAST II’s public warrants and private placement warrants, and the Working Capital Warrants) was assumed by Pubco and each resulting whole Pubco Warrant is exercisable, at an initial exercise price of $11.50, subject to adjustment, for 0.580454 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 0.5 shares of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock.

 

At the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, (a) the Sponsor forfeited 4,308,422 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 2,148,913 Pubco Warrants for no consideration; (b) Pubco issued to the Sponsor the 1,162,500 Earnout Shares it was entitled to receive (as described above), which were placed into an escrow account as described below; (c) Pubco issued 4,362,966 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock to certain holders of Company Units upon the Company’s election to reclassify such units (the “Reclassified Units”) into the right to receive one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock, in lieu of and not in addition to the same number of shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and New Company Units (both as defined below); (d) all issued and outstanding Company Units (other than the Reclassified Units and the Company Financing Units) converted into (x) 46,763,877 shares of Pubco’s non-economic voting Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Pubco Class B Common Stock”), and 46,763,877 limited liability company interests of the Company (the “New Company Units”) and (y) 775,000 Earnout Shares (in the form of Pubco Class A Common Stock), 75,562,500 Earnout Shares (in the form of Pubco Class B Common Stock) and 75,562,500 Earnout Units which were placed into an escrow account for the benefit of certain holders of Company Units pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as described below; (e) all Company Financing Units converted into 5,270,240 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and 5,270,240 New Company Units; (f) Pubco elected to convert the principal amount of $2.25 million outstanding under the Infinite Promissory Note into 225,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock; and (g) the units of Merger Sub that were issued and outstanding were converted into and became (x) a number of New Company Units equal to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger, (y) a number of preferred units equal to the number of shares of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger and (z) a number of warrant units equal to the number of Pubco Warrants outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger, in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) through (z) after giving effect to the redemption of shares of common stock of FAST II in connection with the exercise of redemption rights, the Class B Exchange and the Conversion.

The Earnout Shares and Earnout Units were deposited into escrow at the Acquisition Merger Effective Time and are to be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of, or forfeited and canceled upon the failure of, certain milestones related to the EBITDA of Pubco and the gross revenue of Pubco during periods between July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024 and the volume weighted average closing sale price of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock during the five-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the Acquisition Merger and ending on the six-year anniversary of the Acquisition Merger. In connection with the Closing, as of the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, Jefferies LLC assigned all of its rights to receive 775,000 Earnout Shares to Infinite Acquisitions Partners LLC (formerly known as Infinite Acquisitions LLLP and Katmandu Collections, LLLP, “Infinite Acquisitions”), without any payment or other consideration therefor.

 

Prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, an aggregate of approximately $67.25 million in financing was provided to the Company by Infinite Acquisitions, an existing equity holder of the Company, including through debt to equity conversions. On October 4, 2023, Infinite Acquisitions irrevocably committed to fund an additional approximately $12.75 million to the Company by December 31, 2023, for a total financing from Infinite Acquisitions of $80 million. Further, holders of an aggregate of $4.75 million of outstanding indebtedness (the “Transferred Debt”) of the Company entered into Exchange Agreements whereby such indebtedness was exchanged for an aggregate of 475,000 shares of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock and a cash payment of unpaid accrued interest, and Pubco agreed to contribute the Transferred Debt to the Company in exchange for the Company (i) issuing to Pubco a number of Preferred Units equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued upon the exchange of the Transferred Debt, and (ii) paying to Pubco an amount in cash equal to the amount of cash paid by Pubco as accrued interest. The material terms of such financings are described in the sections of the Form S-4 titled “Proposal No. 1 – The Business Combination Proposal—Financing of the Business Combination” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Company Related Party Transactions—Company and Infinite Acquisitions Credit Agreement.”

 

On October 6, 2023, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Pubco entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with the Company, the TRA Holder Representative, certain members of the Company (the “TRA Holders”) and other persons from time to time party thereto. The material terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement are described in the section of the Form S-4 titled “Proposal No. 1 – The Business Combination Proposal— Related Agreements—Tax Receivable Agreement.” Based primarily on historical losses of the Company, management has determined it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be unable to utilize its deferred tax assets subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement; therefore, management has not recorded an adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the deferred tax assets or a corresponding liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement related to the tax savings the company may realize from the utilization of tax deductions related to basis adjustments created by the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement and the exchange of common units of the Company for Pubco Class A Common Stock or cash in the future and tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, if utilization of the deferred tax assets were more-likely-than-not Pubco would recognize a deferred tax asset of approximately $232.4 million and a liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement of approximately $201.4 million, assuming (i) a price of $10 per share; (ii) a constant corporate tax rate of 25%; and (iii) no material changes in tax law.

 

Pursuant to Pubco’s Certificate of Designation, Pubco’s Series A Preferred Stock automatically converts, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock if at any time the volume weighted average closing price of Pubco’s Class A Common Stock exceeds $14.30 for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of determination, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like.

On November 3, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Company determined that the volume weighted average closing price of Pubco’s Class A Common Stock exceeded $14.30 for 20 consecutive trading days. Accordingly, on November 6, 2023, all outstanding shares of Pubco’s Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at a conversion rate of 0.90909 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock for each share of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock. No action by the holders of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock was required in connection with the automatic conversion. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with the terms of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock. An aggregate of approximately 600,000 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock were issued upon conversion of the Pubco Series A Preferred Stock. Following the automatic conversion of the Pubco Series A Preferred Stock, there are no outstanding shares of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 assumes the conversion of the Pubco Series A Preferred Stock occurred as of September 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022 assumes the conversion of the Pubco Series A Preferred Stock occurred as of January 1, 2022, the beginning of the earlier period presented.

 

For more information about the Business Combination, please see the section of the Form S-4 titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal.”

 

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

 

The SPAC Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition similar to a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP.

 

The Acquisition Merger was also accounted for similar to a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Following the closing of the Acquisition Merger, the Company’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Scott Demerau, together with other members of the Demerau family, continue to collectively have a controlling interest (as determined in accordance with GAAP) in Pubco through their control of Katmandu Ventures LLC, and through the membership of Lucas Demerau, Nathan Markey and Cory Demerau on the board of directors of the general partner of Infinite Acquisitions. As the Acquisition Merger represents a common control transaction from an accounting perspective, the Acquisition Merger was treated similar to a reverse recapitalization. As there is no change in control, the Company has been determined to be the accounting acquirer and Pubco was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Acquisition Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of Pubco, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Pubco were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the period prior to the Acquisition Merger are those of the Company.

 

Earnout Shares and Earnout Units were deposited into escrow at the Acquisition Merger Effective Time and will be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of certain milestones related to the EBITDA of Pubco and the gross revenue of Pubco during periods between July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024 and the volume weighted average closing sale price of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock during the Earnout Period. Earnout Shares and Earnout Units are liability classified under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) prior to the satisfaction of the applicable milestone. Following the satisfaction of applicable milestones, Earnout Shares and Earnout Units released from escrow and delivered to its holders are expected to be equity classified.

 

Description of the Strategic Investment

 

On July 27, 2023, the Company completed the Strategic Investment. Pursuant to the Strategic Investment, QIC invested $30.0 million, inclusive of the Reimbursement Amount, in the Company’s Falcon’s Creative division through a private placement of preferred units by FCG LLC. Pursuant to the QIC Subscription Agreement, upon the closing of the Strategic Investment, FCG LLC received a closing payment of $17.5 million (net of $500,000 in reimbursements). The remaining $12.0 million of the $30.0 million investment is being held by QIC and will be released to FCG LLC upon the establishment of an employee retention and attraction incentive program that incentivizes employees of FCG LLC and its subsidiaries involved in satisfying the QIC Priority Commitment to satisfy such QIC Priority Commitment. The employee retention and attraction incentive program must include either (i) an equity pool equal to approximately 10% of FCG LLC’s issued and outstanding equity or (ii) a cash bonus pool equal to $12.0 million. The specific terms and details of the employee retention and attraction incentive program are being negotiated by FCG LLC and QIC. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the QIC Subscription Agreement, FCG LLC has two members: QIC, holding 25% of the equity interest of FCG LLC in the form of preferred units, and the Company, holding the remaining 75% of the equity interest of FCG LLC in the form of common units. In connection with the Strategic Investment, FCG LLC amended and restated its limited liability company agreement to include QIC as a member and to provide QIC with certain consent, priority and preemptive rights. The FCG LLC amended and restated limited liability company agreement grants QIC the right to block or participate in certain significant operating and capital decisions of FCG LLC, including the approval of FCG LLC’s budget and business plan, entering into strategic investments, and incurring additional debt, among others. These rights allow QIC to effectively participate in significant financial and operating decisions of FCG LLC that are made in FCG LLC’s ordinary course of business. As such, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest since QIC has the substantive right to participate in FCG LLC’s business decisions. As of July 27, 2023, the date the Company ceases to have a controlling financial interest, FCG LLC is deconsolidated and accounted for as an equity method investment in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company and FCG LLC also entered into an intercompany service agreement and a license agreement; and FCG LLC agreed to indemnify the members of its board of managers for liabilities arising from their service in their respective roles.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The SPAC Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition similar to a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. The Acquisition Merger was also accounted for similar to a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Following the closing of the Acquisition Merger, the Company’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Scott Demerau, together with other members of the Demerau family, continue to collectively have a controlling interest (as determined in accordance with GAAP) in Pubco through the control of Katmandu Ventures LLC by Scott Demerau and Julia Demerau and through the membership of Lucas Demerau, Nathan Markey and Cory Demerau on the board of directors of the general partner of Infinite Acquisitions. As the Acquisition Merger represents a common control transaction from an accounting perspective, the Acquisition Merger was treated similar to a reverse recapitalization. As there is no change in control, the Company has been determined to be the accounting acquirer and Pubco was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Acquisition Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of Pubco, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Pubco were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the period prior to the Acquisition Merger are those of the Company.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on September 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination and Strategic Investment as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2022.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

  The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the related notes included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K/A; and

 

  FAST II’s unaudited condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the related notes included in Exhibit 99.3 to the Form 8-K/A.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

  The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K/A; and

 

  FAST II’s unaudited condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the related notes included in Exhibit 99.3 to the Form 8-K/A.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

  The Company’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Form S-4; and

 

  FAST II’s audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes included in the Form S-4.

 

The foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

 

10

 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination or Strategic Investment.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments as based on the statutory rate in effect for the historical periods presented, as management believes income tax adjustments to not be meaningful given the combined entity incurred significant losses during the historical periods presented.

 

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the Business Combination and Strategic Investment are based on currently available information and assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination and Strategic Investment based on information available to management at the current time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination and Strategic Investment taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and FAST II.

 

2. Accounting Policies

 

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the Company’s and FAST II’s accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of Pubco following the Closing. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information for the Strategic Investment

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and Strategic Investment and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet does not include pro forma adjustments for the Strategic Investment as the Strategic Investment was consummated on July 27, 2023 and is reflected in the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K/A.

 

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the Strategic Investment

 

The pro forma adjustments to the historical Company statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022 as a result of the Strategic Investment are as follows:

 

  (1) Reflects the deconsolidation of the revenues, expenses and other income (expense), net of FCG LLC.

 

11

 

 

  (2)

Represents the Company’s share of the losses on the Company’s equity method investment in FCG LLC, which was determined based on the historical losses of FCG LLC of $6.5 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 respectively, adjusted for the Preferred Return of $2.0 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 respectively. QIC is entitled to a redemption amount equal to the initial $30.0 million investment plus the Preferred Return. As a result, QIC does not absorb losses from FCG LLC that would cause its investment to fall below this amount and any losses not absorbed by QIC are fully allocated to the Company. This adjustment excludes the amortization of the basis difference of the Company’s equity method investment in FCG LLC, which is reflected in adjustment (3) below.

 

  (3)

Reflects the amortization of the basis difference of the Company’s equity method investment in FCG LLC. The basis difference of approximately $16.8 million was identified to be primarily related to unrecognized customer relationship intangible assets in FCG LLC, which were determined to have a useful life of 5 years.

 

  (4) Represents the pro forma adjustment to recognize the gain on the deconsolidation of FCG LLC as if incurred on January 1, 2022, the date the Strategic Investment is deemed to have occurred for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. This is a non-recurring item.

 

4. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information for the Business Combination

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and Strategic Investment and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

 

The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had Pubco following the Closing filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

 

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations are based upon the number of Pubco shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2022.

 

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet for the Business Combination

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 are as follows: 

 

  (a) Represents redemptions of 6,772,844 shares of FAST II Class A Common Stock for approximately $72.0 million and at a redemption price of $10.63 per share.

 

  (b) Reflects the reclassification of cash and investments held in the Trust Account that became available following the Business Combination.

 

  (c) Reflects the following adjustments related to the Base Fee owed to Jefferies upon the consummation of the Business Combination, which includes amounts Jefferies LLC is entitled to as deferred underwriting commission from the FAST II IPO:

 

  $0.8 million was paid and reflected as a reduction of cash; and

 

  $3.8 million was reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital, which represents the portion of the Base Fee that is contingent upon Jefferies arranging or providing additional equity and/or debt financing to the Company prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination.

 

12

 

 

Of the $3.2 million that remains payable to Jefferies as of the Closing, a portion shall be paid in cash within 90 days of the Closing, and the balance shall be paid in cash or Pubco Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s election, within two years following the closing of the Business Combination.

 

  (d) Represents adjustments at the Closing for transaction costs of the Company and FAST II primarily related to legal, financial advisory and other professional fees. FAST II’s estimated transaction costs exclude the Base Fee owed to Jefferies LLC as described in Note 4(c) above.

 

For the Company’s transaction costs: 

 

  $1.4 million was reflected as a reduction of cash and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, which represents the Company’s transaction costs that were paid at Closing and previously accrued by the Company as of September 30, 2023; and

 

  $9.5 million was reflected as an increase in accumulated deficit and accrued expenses and other current liabilities at the Closing. The costs expensed through accumulated deficit at the Closing are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 as discussed in Note 4(cc) below.

 

For FAST II’s transaction costs:

 

  $1.4 million was reflected as a reduction of cash, of which approximately $0.8 million was previously accrued by FAST II in accounts payable as of September 30, 2023 and approximately $0.6 million was reflected as an adjustment to accumulated deficit at the Closing. The costs expensed through accumulated deficit are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 as discussed in Note 4(dd) below.

 

  (e) Reflects the conversion of $7.3 million of debt owed to Infinite Acquisitions into Company Financings Units prior to the Closing of the Business Combination. As of the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company previously issued Company Financing Units to Infinite Acquisitions for aggregate proceeds of $40.0 million pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and approximately $27.3 million of debt owed to Infinite Acquisitions that was a pre-funding of the Company Financing and was converted into Company Financing Units. On October 4, 2023, Infinite Acquisitions irrevocably committed to fund an additional approximately $12.75 million to the Company by December 31, 2023, for a total financing from Infinite Acquisitions of $80 million.

 

  (f) Reflects the reclassification of $3.8 million of FAST II Class A Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, subject to possible redemption to permanent equity.

 

  (g) Reflects the conversion of 5,558,422 shares of FAST II Class B Common Stock into 5,558,422 shares of FAST II Class A Common Stock prior to the closing of the SPAC Merger.

 

  (h) Reflects the conversion of FAST II’s working capital loan into 733,333 Working Capital Warrants, which have the same terms as the FAST II Private Placement Warrants, upon the closing of the Business Combination.

 

13

 

 

  (i) Pursuant to section 3.01(a)(ii) of the Merger Agreement, each FAST II Public Share was exchanged for 0.5 shares of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock and 0.580454 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, which comprises 0.5 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock plus an allocation of the Additional Incentive Forfeited Shares, as follows:

 

   Exchange
Ratio
   Shares 
FAST II Public Shares        362,665 
           
Pubco Class A Common Stock   0.580454    210,511 
Pubco Series A Preferred Stock   0.500000    181,333 

 

The adjustment reflects the reclassification of the par value of the FAST II Public Shares for the par value of the Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Series A Preferred Stock. Each FAST II Public Shares, Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

  (j) Reflects the exchange of 5,588,422 shares of FAST II Class A Common Stock converted from FAST II Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Class B Exchange for 5,588,422 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock.

 

  (k) Reflects the Sponsor’s forfeiture of 4,308,422 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock for no consideration.

 

  (l) Reflects the forfeiture of the 2,148,913 Sponsor Redemption Forfeited Warrants. This adjustment was based on a price per Private Placement Warrant of $0.50, which is consistent with the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants in FAST II’s financial statements as of September 30, 2023.

 

  (m) Pursuant to section 3.01(b) of the Merger Agreement, reflects the recapitalization of all Company Units and all Company Financing Units at the Acquisition Merger Exchange Number of 1.00 for 50,951,611 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and 4,362,966 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock, and the issuance of 1,082,506 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock as Additional Company Financing Unit Consideration. The shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001, entitle their holder to one vote per share but not any right to dividends or distributions.
