ITEM 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D for investment purposes.
 
The Reporting Persons will routinely monitor a wide variety of investment considerations, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Common Stock, the Issuer’s operations, assets, prospects, business development, markets and capitalization, the Issuer’s management and personnel, Issuer-related competitive and strategic matters, general economic, financial market and industry conditions, as well as other investment considerations. The Reporting Persons expect to discuss their investment in the Issuer and the foregoing investment considerations with the Issuer’s Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”), management, other investors, industry analysts and others. These considerations, these discussions and other factors may result in the Reporting Persons’ consideration of various alternatives with respect to their investment, including possible changes in the present Board of Directors and/or management of the Issuer or other alternatives to increase stockholder value. The Reporting Persons may also enter into confidentiality or similar agreements with the Issuer and, subject to such an agreement or otherwise, exchange information with the Issuer.  In addition, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Issuer securities in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise or may determine to sell, trade or otherwise dispose of all or some holdings in the Issuer in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or take any other lawful action they deem to be in their best interests.
 
Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, no Reporting Person has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of such directors or to fill any existing vacancies on such board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated in subclauses (a)-(i) above.

ITEM 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to the Securities of the Issuer.
 
Transaction Support Agreement
 
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, FF Top entered into a support agreement (the “FF Top Support Agreement”) with PSAC pursuant to which FF Top has agreed, among other things, to approve or vote in favor of the Business Combination, against any action or proposal involving PSAC or any of its subsidiaries that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent, impede or adversely affect the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement in any material respect, and promptly execute the definitive documents, agreements and filings (including with applicable governmental authorities) related to the Business Combination reasonably required to be executed by FF Top in furtherance of the Business Combination subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.  Under the FF Top Support Agreement, FF Top has also agreed that, with limited exceptions, prior to the termination of the FF Top Support Agreement, FF Top will not transfer or otherwise enter into any agreement or understanding with respect to a transfer relating to any Claims (as defined in the FF Top Support Agreement) owned by FF Top. The FF Top Support Agreement terminated in connection with the Closing.  See Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D.
 
Voting Agreements
 
In connection with the Business Combination, FF Top entered into voting agreements with certain other stockholders of FF (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”), pursuant to which each such other stockholder granted FF Top an irrevocable proxy and voting control over their respective shares of FF and, following the Closing, shares of Class A Common Stock on all matters submitted to the vote of the holders of Common Stock.   Further, pursuant to the Voting Agreements, such other stockholders agreed not to vote any of their respective shares of Common Stock, unless it received instructions from FF Top; however, the Voting Agreement with Founding Future Creditors Trust (currently, a 5.9% shareholder of the Issuer) permits such shareholder to withhold its proxy on a particular matter to comply with its fiduciary duties. The Voting Agreements do not cover any shares subsequently transferred in open market transactions. A form of the Voting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D.

Shareholder Agreement
 
Upon the Closing, PSAC and FF Top entered into the Shareholder Agreement, pursuant to which (a) PSAC and FF Top agreed on the initial composition of the Issuer’s board of directors and (b) so long as FF Top beneficially owns shares of issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer common stock representing in excess of 5% voting power, FF Top has the right to nominate a specified number of directors on the Issuer’s board of directors based on FF Top’s voting power of the issued and outstanding the Issuer common stock, a sufficient number of which will be independent such that the Issuer’s board of directors would be comprised of a majority of independent directors assuming the election of the FF Top designees and the other members of the Issuer’s board of directors until the Issuer is a “controlled company” as defined in the rules of the national securities exchange on which the Issuer common stock is listed. FF Top will have the right to nominate a replacement for any of its designees who is not elected or whose board service has terminated prior to the end of such director’s term. So long as the Shareholder Agreement is in effect, any action by the Issuer’s board of directors to increase or decrease the total number of directors comprising the Issuer’s board of directors will require the prior written consent of FF Top and in connection with any increase or decrease in the total number of directors comprising the Issuer’s board of directors, the number of FF Top designees required to be independent will be increased or decreased as may be necessary. FF Top will also have the right for its nominees to serve on each committee of the Issuer’s board of directors proportionate to the number of nominees it has on the Issuer’s board of directors, subject to compliance with applicable law and stock exchange listing rules.  See Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D.
 
Lock-Up Agreement
 
Upon the Closing, FF Top executed a lock-up agreement, pursuant to which, subject to certain limited exceptions, FF Top agreed not to sell, transfer or take certain other actions with respect to shares of Common Stock held by it for a period of 180 days after the Closing.  See Exhibit 5 to this Schedule 13D.
 

Registration Rights Agreement
 
Upon the Closing, FF Top, together with certain other stockholders of the Issuer, executed an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which such stockholders will be entitled to have registered, in certain circumstances, the resale of shares of Common Stock (and the shares of Common Stock underlying warrants of the Issuer) held by or issued to them at the closing of the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Within 45 days of the Closing, the Issuer is obligated to file a shelf registration statement to register the resale of certain securities and the Issuer is required to use its reasonable best efforts to have such shelf registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof and no later than the earlier of (x) the ninetieth calendar day following the filing date if the SEC notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the shelf registration statement and (y) the tenth business day after the date the Issuer is notified in writing by the SEC that such shelf registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Additionally, at any time and from time to time after one year (or 180 days with respect to Season Smart) after the Closing, such stockholders representing a majority-in-interest of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis held by the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement (or Season Smart) may make a written demand for registration for resale under the Act of all or part of the shares of Common Stock (and the shares of Common Stock underlying warrants of the Issuer) held by or issued to them at the Closing in an underwritten offering involving gross proceeds of no less than $50,000,000.   The Issuer will not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of two underwritten offerings per year (or three underwritten offerings per year demanded by Season Smart) and, with respect to Season Smart, such shares of Common Stock do not exceed more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer. The parties to the Registration Rights Agreement will also be entitled to participate in certain registered offerings by the Issuer, subject to certain limitations and restrictions. The Issuer will be required to pay certain expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of the registration rights under this agreement.
