NOTE 6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on March 22, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares and Representative Shares, as well as the holders of the Private Units (and underlying securities) and any warrants issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to Company (and underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities.

The holders of a majority of the Representative Shares, Private Units and warrants issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, EBC may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to consummation of a Business Combination; provided, however, that EBC may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of Public Offering to purchase up to 1,800,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $2.40 million in the aggregate, paid at the closing of the Public Offering.

On March 30, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 843,937 Units at $10.00 per Unit.

In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on March 30, 2021, the underwriters were paid an additional cash underwriting fee of approximately $0.17 million.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities in connection with a Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination.

The Company will pay EBC a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable); provided that up to 30% of the fee may be allocated at the Company’s sole discretion to other FINRA members that assist the Company in identifying and consummating a Business Combination.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement (Continued)

Additionally, the Company will pay EBC a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in a Business Combination if EBC introduces the Company to the target business with which the Company completes a Business Combination; provided that the foregoing fee will not be paid prior to the date that is 90 days from the effective date of the Public Offering, unless FINRA determines that such payment would not be deemed underwriters’ compensation in connection with the Public Offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(c)(3)(B)(ii).
