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 on the effective date of Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The registration rights and stockholder agreement do not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 4, 2022, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of 1,200,000 additional units at a price of $10 per unit upon receiving notice of the underwriters’ election to exercise their overallotment option generating additional gross proceeds of $12.0 million and incurred additional offering costs of $412,500 in underwriting fees, of which $262,500 are for deferred underwriting commissions. Simultaneously with the exercise of the overallotment, the Company consummated the Private Placement of an additional 42,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $420,000.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,840,000, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters reimbursed $920,000 to the Company for certain expenses in connection with the IPO. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $3,220,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The underwriters were also issued 115,000 of Class A common stock as representative shares, in connection with our IPO. The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and the lock up period expired on March 19, 2023. As of the review period ending December 31, 2022, the Company recorded additional issuance costs of $79,338, the grant date fair value of the shares, with an offset to additional paid-in capital.
