Class K Founder common stock

Class K common stock was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC Topic 815 and presented as derivative liability on the accompanying June 30, 2021, balance sheet. The derivative liability was measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, which changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of derivative liability in the statements of operations. In order to capture the market conditions associated with the Class K common stock liability, the Company applied an approach that incorporated a Monte Carlo simulation, which involved random iterations of future stock-price paths over the contractual life of the Class K common stock. Based on assumptions regarding potential changes in control of the Company, and the probability distribution of outcomes, the payoff to the holder was determined based on the achievement of the various market thresholds within each simulated path. The present value of the payoff in each simulated trial is calculated, and the fair value of the liability is determined by taking the average of all present values.

The key inputs into the Monte-Carlo simulation model for Class K common stock were as follows as of the issuance date and as of June 30, 2021:


Input	January 29, 2021 (Inception)			June 30, 2021
Risk-free interest rate	1.16		%	1.48		%
Term to business combination	0.9 years			0.5 years
Expected volatility	21.0		%	15.0		%
