NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preferred stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A common stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 17,870,800 shares of Class A common stock issued and 1,190,800 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, excluding 16,680,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption.

Class B common stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. On February 3, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,031,250 shares of Class B common stock to the Sponsor. On June 8, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 718,750 shares of Class B common stock for no consideration. Shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share

surrender. On July 26, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited an additional 142,500 of Class B common stock in connection with the expiration of the underwriter’s remaining over-allotment option, resulting in an aggregate of 4,170,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders except as required by law. Prior to a Business Combination, holders of Class B common stock will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors and may remove members of the board of directors for any reason, and holders of the Class A common stock will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time.

The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, and holders of Founder Shares have the same stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, (ii) the Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of an initial Business Combination, (B) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (x) to modify the substance or timing of the ability of holders of the Public Shares to seek redemption in connection with an initial Business Combination or the obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or (y) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (C) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within such time period, (iii) they are entitled to registration rights, and (iv) the anchor investors have agreed to waive their right to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame. If the Company submits an initial Business Combination to the public stockholders for a vote, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed pursuant to the letter agreement to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of an initial Business Combination. Permitted transferees of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, officers and directors would be subject to the same restrictions applicable to the Sponsor, officers or directors, respectively.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of an initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with an initial Business Combination, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of common stock by public stockholders), including the total number of shares of common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of an initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in an initial Business Combination.

With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to the officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with or related to the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of an initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to an initial Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Company’s 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 an initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock

exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company, the Company shall distribute quarterly on a pro-rata basis to the holders of record of the Public Shares within fifteen (15) days from the end of the prior quarter, a dividend in the amount of $0.05 per Public Share out of amount contained in the Trust Account. In addition, at the closing of a Business Combination, holders of Public Shares that have elected to not exercise their Redemption Rights in connection with such Business Combination shall receive a dividend in the amount of $0.05 per Public Share.
