Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Founder Shares

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements for Founder Shares, dated April 22, 2021 (the “Founder Shares Subscription Agreements”), between the Sponsor and the Issuer, the Sponsor purchased 5,175,000 shares (“Founder Shares”) of Common Stock of the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.009 per share.

 SCHEDULE 13D Page 6 of 8  Pages

 

The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that if held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants (i) may be exercised on a cashless basis and (ii) are not subject to redemption. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, then the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Issuer and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. In addition, the Private Warrants are, subject to certain limited exceptions, subject to transfer restrictions until after the completion of the Issuer’s initial Business Combination (as defined below).

 

Working Capital Loans

 

The Reporting Person or the Issuer’s officers, directors or initial stockholders, or their respective affiliates, may, but are not obligated to, loan the Issuer funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of the Issuer’s initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (“Working Capital Warrants”). The Working Capital Warrants, if any, would be identical to the Private Warrants. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined.

 

Warrant Agreement

 

The Warrants are governed by the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Issuer and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent. Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described therein, at any time commencing on the later of: (i) 30 days after the consummation by the Issuer of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”), or (ii) December 23, 2022, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier to occur of: (x) five years from the consummation of a Business Combination, (y) the date the Issuer elects to redeem all Warrants subject to redemption and (z) the liquidation of the Issuer.

 

Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2021 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Issuer, the Sponsor and certain other security holders, the holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Warrants (and underlying securities) and any Working Capital Warrants (and underlying securities), including any securities of the Issuer issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of such securities (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”), including the Sponsor, are entitled to make up to three demands that the Issuer register such securities. In addition, the holders of the Registrable Securities, including the Sponsor, have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Issuer’s consummation of a Business Combination.

 

Letter Agreement

 

On December 20, 2021, the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the Reporting Person and the other parties thereto (collectively, the “Insiders”). Under the Letter Agreement, among other matters, the Insiders agreed with the Issuer: (i) that they will not propose, or vote in favor of, any amendment to the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to conversion rights as described in the Registration Statement or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Issuer provides public stockholders with the opportunity to convert their shares upon the approval of any such amendment; (ii) that if the Issuer solicits approval of its stockholders of a Business Combination, the Insiders will vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, whether acquired before, in, or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination; and (iii) to waive any right to exercise redemption rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock owned or to be owned by them, directly or indirectly (or to sell such shares to the Issuer in a tender offer), whether acquired before, in or after the IPO, and not to seek redemption with respect to such shares in connection with any vote to approve a Business Combination (or sell such shares to the Issuer in a tender offer in connection with such a Business Combination) or any amendment to the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior thereto.
