PUBLIC OFFERING

NOTE 3 ─ PUBLIC OFFERING

On March 25, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of 12,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value and one-half of one redeemable Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant offered in the Offering is exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

On March 30, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in part and purchased an additional 843,937 Units, generating gross proceeds of $8.44 million.

NOTE 3 ─ PUBLIC OFFERING (Continued)

In connection with the Public Offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the Public Offering price, or $10.00 per share, for 45 days commencing on October 25, 2021 (grant date). Since this option extended beyond the closing of the Public Offering, this option feature represented a call option that was accounted for under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Accordingly, the call option has been separately accounted for at a fair value with the change in fair value between the grant date and March 30, 2021 and expiration amount recorded as other income. The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the call option at the grant date and again at March 30, 2021 (refer to Note 9 for fair value information).
