NOTE 3 ─ INITIAL 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 Common Stock and one-half of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of the 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.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase 1,800,000 shares of the Common Stock at the Initial 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 Initial Public Offering, this option feature represented a call option that was accounted for under ASC 480. 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 (see Note 10 for fair value information).
