Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed prior to or on the Effective Date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The underwriter had a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 17, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 326,000 Over-Allotment Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $3,260,000. On June 21, 2021, the underwriter forfeited the right to purchase the remaining 1,174,000 Units of the over-allotment option.

 

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $2,065,200 in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, $3,614,100 in the aggregate (reflecting the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), is payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement dated May 27, 2021 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and between the Company and Maxim.

 

Amendment of Underwriting Agreement

 

On December 15, 2021, in order to resolve certain issues and concerns that have arisen between Maxim and the Company, both parties agreed to amend the Underwriting Agreement as follows: (i) the Company and Maxim mutually agreed that the rights of first refusal be deleted and as if no further force and effect, and that Maxim shall have no right of first refusal to act as an underwriter in any future financing event; (ii) as consideration for the waiver of the right of first refusal, if the Company consummates a business combination, the Company shall remit to Maxim a one-time cash payment of $2,000,000 at the closing of such business combination as a mergers and acquisition advisory fee; (iii) the Company and Maxim agreed that the over-allotment option has been limited to 326,000 Units and that the over-allotment option has terminated as of June 22, 2021; and (iv) the Company and Maxim agreed that the Company shall not be responsible for any additional reimbursements, out of pocket expenses, or disbursements of Maxim. For the sake of clarity, all rights and obligations relating to underwriting fees (including but not limited to deferred underwriting commissions) were not amended or affected by this amendment. The $2,000,000 is recorded as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets dated as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Representative’s Class A Common Stock

 

The Company has issued to Maxim and/or its designees, 103,260 shares of Class A common stock upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment. Maxim has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of the initial Business Combination. In addition, Maxim has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete the initial Business Combination within 12 months, or up to 18 months if the Company uses the one time option to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination from the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

 

The shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to Rule 5110I(1) of FINRA’s Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110the(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the Effective Date of the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the offering except as permitted by FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).

 

Right of First Refusal

 

On May 27, 2021, subject to certain conditions, the Company granted Maxim, for a period beginning on the closing of the offering and ending 12 months after the date of the consummation of a business combination, a right of first refusal to act as lead left book-running managing underwriter with at least 75% of the economics; or, in the case of a three-handed deal 50% of the economics, for any and all future public and private equity, convertible and debt offerings for the Company or any of the Company’s successors or subsidiaries. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering.
