Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On February 4, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,062,500 Founder Shares in exchange for a $25,000 payment from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company (approximately $0.002 per share). As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A common stock included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the Founder Shares convert into shares of Class A common stock at the election of the holder at any time prior to the Initial Business Combination or automatically at the time of the Company’s Initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,312,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On May 7, 2021, the underwriters’ over-allotment option expired unexercised, and the Sponsor forfeited 1,312,500 Founder Shares.

On March 23, 2021, the Company, the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors entered into several securities agreements, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 400,000 Founder Shares and the Sponsor agreed to forfeit 400,000 Founder Shares at no cost, which were cancelled by the Company. In April 2021, Michael Warren, in connection with his resignation from the Company’s board of directors, forfeited 40,000 Founder Shares and 40,000 Founder Shares were issued to the Sponsor. The Sponsor and independent directors will not be entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the independent directors will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them.

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

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer purchased 6,666,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 (see Note 7 for further information regarding the accounting treatment of the Private Placement Warrants). The Sponsor agreed to purchase up to an additional 700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, or an aggregate additional $1,050,000, to the extent the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised in full. On May 7, 2021, the underwriters’ over-allotment option expired unexercised.

Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to partially fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants and all underlying securities will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (as defined below), if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on March 23, 2021. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Related Party Loans

On February 4, 2021, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a loan agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of August 3, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering (the “Maturity Date”).

During the period ending June 30, 2021, the Company paid the Sponsor $1.5 million for additional expenses paid on its behalf.

Administrative Support Agreement

On March 23, 2021 the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period from January 29, 2021 (Inception) to September 30, 2021, the Company had incurred and paid $61,935 of monthly fees to the affiliate of the Sponsor which were paid in full at September 30, 2021.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Initial Business Combination, the 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”). If the Company completes its Initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the 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. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into warrants of the post-business combination entity at the price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender (“Working Capital Warrants”). Such Working Capital Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.

On October 14, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to the Sponsor to cover working capital requirements. The Company has not drawn upon the promissory note. Upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal balance of the promissory note into that number of Working Capital Warrants. The promissory note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the promissory and all other sums payable with regard to the promissory note becoming immediately due and payable.
