NOTE 6.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On December 5, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. In February 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Founder Shares. The share amounts for the period from October 22, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 have been retroactively restated to account for the surrender. In March 2021, the Sponsor sold 718,750 founder shares to the Company’s president, 300,000 shares to the chairman, 359,375 shares to the lead director and 40,000 founder shares to each of the three other independent directors at a purchase price of $0.003 per share. In May 2021, certain of the Company's initial stockholders, including the Sponsor, forfeited 575,000 Founder Shares to the Company for no consideration, resulting in the initial stockholders, including our Sponsor, owning an aggregate of 6,612,500 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 862,500 shares that were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will equal, on an as-converted basis, approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). In July 2021, the Underwriters’ over-allotment option expired and as a result the Sponsor forfeited 862,500 Class B common shares. This forfeiture is retroactively reflected in the accompanying condensed financial statements.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to an Initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30- trading day period commencing at least 150 days after an Initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company incurred $30,000 and $40,000 for such expenses under the administrative services agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Advances from Related Party

An affiliate of the Sponsor paid certain formation and operating costs on behalf of the Company. These advances are due on demand and non-interest bearing. During the period from October 22, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2021, the related party paid $105,161 of formation costs on behalf of the Company. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount due to the Sponsor was $0 and $2,069, respectively, and is included in “Advances from related party” on the condensed balance sheets.

Related Party Loans

On December 5, 2020, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) September 30, 2021 or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no balance outstanding under the Promissory Note. The Company no longer has access to funds under the note since it expired upon closing of the Initial Public Offering.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes and any other loans made by the Sponsor or its affiliates (including the loans made to effectuate extensions as described below), the Company’s officers and directors, or the Company’s and their affiliates prior to or in connection with an Initial Business

Combination may be converted upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination into additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that an Initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
