Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

 

This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Athena Consumer Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) whose principal executive offices are located at 442 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10018.

 

Item 2.

The Schedule 13D is being filed by the following persons (each a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

 

Athena Consumer Acquisition Sponsor LLC (“Sponsor”); and

Isabelle Freidheim.

 

Sponsor is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Ms. Freidheim is a citizen of the United States. The address for the principal business office of Ms. Freidheim is 442 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10018.

 

The principal occupation of Ms. Freidheim is serving as managing member of the Sponsor. The principal business of Sponsor is investing in securities, including the securities of the Issuer.

 

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Placement Units (as defined below) was $10,600,000. The aggregate purchase price for the Founder Shares (as defined below) was $25,000. In each case, the source of these funds was the working capital of Sponsor.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Founder Shares

 

In June 2021, Sponsor purchased 5,900,000 founder shares, classified as Class B Common Stock (the “Founder Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In September 2021, the Issuer effectuated 1.36440678-for-1 stock split of its common stock, resulting in there being an aggregate of 8,050,000 founder shares outstanding. The Sponsor owns, on an as-converted basis, 25.07% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (excluding the shares of Common Stock underlying the Placement Units (defined below)). The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Common Stock at the time of the Issuer’s initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights.

Placement Units

 

On October 22, 2021, as part of a private placement units purchase agreement dated October 19, 2021 (the “Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement”), Sponsor purchased 1,060,000 private placement units (the “Placement Units”) from the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $10,600,000. Each Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (“Placement Share”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Placement Warrant”). Each whole Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, during the period commencing 30 days following the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

The foregoing description of the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Letter Agreement

 

Sponsor and the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which Sponsor agreed to (i) waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Common Stock in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Common Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Issuer’s Business Combination or certain amendments to the Issuer’s charter prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the Issuer’s Common Stock if the Issuer does not complete the Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (iii) waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its Founder Shares if the Issuer fails to complete the Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO, although Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Common Stock it holds if the Issuer fails to complete the Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.

 

Voting Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Sponsor agreed to vote any Founder Shares, Placement Shares, and any Common Stock purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination. If the Issuer submits the Business Combination to its public stockholders for a vote, the Issuer will complete the Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

 

Lock-up Agreement

 

Further pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Sponsor agreed that the Founder Shares, Placement Units, and securities contained therein are not transferable or salable (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, until the earlier of (i) one year after the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) subsequent to the Business Combination, if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination; and (iii) the date following the completion of the Business Combination on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the Placement Units, including the component securities therein, until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, with certain limited exceptions.

 

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Sponsor, pursuant to which Sponsor is entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Issuer register Founder Shares, Placement Units, any Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Placement Warrant, any Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Founder Shares, and any Common Stock that may be issued as part of working capital loans. In addition, Sponsor has certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Business Combination and rights to require the Issuer to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
