NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Common Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 of common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On June 7, 2021, the Sponsor, along with certain of the Company’s directors, officers and advisors purchased 4,312,500 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In October 2021, the Sponsor, officers and certain advisors forfeited an aggregate of 1,437,500 shares of common stock, resulting in 2,875,000 founder shares outstanding. At the closing of the Initial Public Offering, 557,000 shares were issued as part of the Private Placement sale. On October 6, 2022 in connection with the Bridge Purchase Agreement 30,000 shares were issued to the Bridge Financing investor. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 3,462,000 and 3,432,000, respectively, common shares issued and outstanding, excluding 694,123 and 11,500,000, respectively, shares subject to redemption which were classified outside of permanent equity on the consolidated balance sheets.

The holders of record of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. In connection with any vote held to approve the Company’s initial business combination, the initial stockholders, insiders, officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to this offering, including both the insider shares and any shares acquired in this offering or following this offering in the open market, in favor of the proposed business combination.

The Company will consummate its initial business combination only if it has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the business combination.

Pursuant to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company does not consummate its initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering (as currently extended and as may be further extended in accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Company’s insiders have agreed to waive their rights to share in any distribution with respect to their insider shares.

The stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the shares of common stock, except that public stockholders have the right to sell their shares to the Company in any tender offer or have their shares of common stock converted to cash equal to their pro rata share of the Trust Account if they vote on the proposed business combination and the business combination is completed.

If the Company holds a stockholder vote to amend any provisions of the certificate of incorporation relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity (including the substance or timing within which it has to complete a business combination), it will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of common stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, in connection with any such vote. In either of such events, converting stockholders would be paid their pro rata portion of the Trust Account promptly following consummation of the business combination or the approval of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation. If the business combination is not consummated or the amendment is not approved, stockholders will not be paid such amounts.
