NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On March 4, 2021, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 5,031,250 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). The outstanding Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 656,250 shares of Class B common stock subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter's over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). The underwriter partially exercised their over-allotment option on August 20, 2021 and forfeited the remainder of the option; thus, 520,875 Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor.

A total of ten anchor investors purchased 14,402,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per Unit; seven anchor investors purchased 1,732,500 Units in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per Unit, and such allocations were be determined by the underwriter; one Anchor Investor purchased 1,400,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per unit; and two anchor investors purchased 437,500 Units in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per Unit. Pursuant to such Units, the anchor investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights in addition to those afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders. Further, the anchor investors are not required to (i) hold any Units, Class A common stock or warrants they may purchase in the Initial Public Offering or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any Class A common stock they may own at the applicable time in favor of the Business Combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Public Shares at the time of the Business Combination. The anchor investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Class A common stock underlying the Units they may purchase in the Initial Public Offering as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders.

Each anchor investor has entered into separate investment agreements with the Company and the Sponsor pursuant to which each anchor investor agreed to purchase a specified number of Founder Shares, or an aggregate of 830,000 Founder Shares, from the Sponsor for $0.005 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $4,150 at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, subject to such anchor investor’s acquisition of 100% of the Units allocated to it by the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering. Pursuant to the investment agreements, the anchor investors have agreed to (a) vote any Founder Shares held by them in favor of the Business Combination and (b) subject any Founder Shares held by them to the same lock-up restrictions as the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and independent directors.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Founder Shares attributable to the anchor investors to be $4,714,400 or $5.68 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares sold over the purchase price of $4,150 (or $0.005 per share) was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering in proportion to the amount allocated to the Class A common stock and Public Warrants, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities were expensed immediately in the statement of operations. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Promissory Note - Related Party

On March 4, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate of $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of (i) August 30, 2021 or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2021, there was no outstanding balance under the Promissory Note. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 30, 2021.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for administrative, financial and support services. Upon the completion of an initial Business Combination, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the period from March 1, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred expenses of $100,000 under this agreement.

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of 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 a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds held in the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination is not completed, the Company may use a portion of the 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
