PUBLIC OFFERING

NOTE 3 – PUBLIC OFFERING

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, on October 1, 2021, the Company consummated the Public Offering of 30,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant offered in the Public Offering is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, on October 21, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of 4,092,954 additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit (generating approximately $40,930,000 in additional gross proceeds) pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, increasing the total Public Offering to 34,092,954 Units and approximately $340,093,000 in gross proceeds to the Company.

Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to file a new registration statement under the Securities Act, following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless a holder purchases a multiple of three Units, the number of Warrants issuable to such holder upon separation of the Units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Warrants. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the Warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the 60^th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s initial stockholders or their affiliates or the Anchor Investors (as defined below), without taking into account any Founder Shares or Warrants held by the Company’s initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, or the Anchor Investors, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

Redemption of Warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

● in whole and not in part;

● at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

● if, and only if, the closing price of Class A common shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders (the “Reference Value”).

Redemption of Warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

● in whole and not in part;

● at $0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock;

● if, and only if, the closing price of the shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders; and

● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), then the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms (except as described herein with respect to a holder’s ability to cashless exercise its Warrants) as the outstanding Warrants.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the required 24-month period (i.e., by October 1, 2023), and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, at the Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Warrants that would be issued in connection with 4,500,000 over-allotment Units are identical to the public Warrants and have no net cash settlement provisions.

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Unit price to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering ($6,000,000, or if the underwriters’ overallotment option is exercised in full, $6,900,000), with an additional fee (the “Deferred Discount”) of 3.5% ($10,500,000, which could increase to $12,075,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial Business Combination.

In July and August 2021, the Company entered into subscription agreements with the Direct Anchor Investors (as defined below) and the Other Anchor Investors (as defined below) who have agreed to, and did, purchase 4,853,177 Private Placement Warrants (including 286,509 Private Placement Warrants purchased in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units) at $1.50 per Warrant. The Direct Anchor Investors, the Other Anchor Investors and one strategic investment fund that is focused on end markets similar to those on which the Company intends to concentrate (collectively, the “Anchor Investors”) also purchased an aggregate of $321.1 million of Units in the Public Offering. The Anchor Investors are also entitled to purchase from the Sponsor, upon consummation of the initial Business Combination and subject to certain conditions, an aggregate of up to 49% of the number of Founder Shares outstanding upon closing of the Public Offering, at a purchase price of approximately $0.002 per share.
