NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on September 30, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Units (and the securities contained therein), and the units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and the securities contained therein) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Cantor may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the 5-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, Cantor may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the 7-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated 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 to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. As a result of the underwriters’ election not to exercise their over-allotment, the 4,500,000 Units were not purchased.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the 30,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $15,000,000. The deferred fee will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended or restated from time to time, the “DePalma Business Combination Agreement”), with Marblegate Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Marblegate”), Marblegate Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“New MAC”), MAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New MAC (“Merger Sub”), DePalma Acquisition I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DePalma I”), and DePalma Acquisition II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DePalma II,” and together with DePalma I, “DePalma”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to combine with DePalma in a series of transactions that will result in New MAC becoming a publicly-traded company whose shares are expected to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “DePalma Business Combination”).
