NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 543,300 Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit ($5,433,000 in the aggregate).
The proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Offering held in the Trust Account. The Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Company’s Trust Account with respect to the placement shares, which will expire worthless if the Company does not consummate a business combination. With respect to the placement warrants (“Placement Warrants”), as described in Note 7, the warrant agent shall not register any transfer of placement warrants until after the consummation of an initial business combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On April 22, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.009 per share. On July 1, 2022, the sponsor surrendered an aggregate of 373,750 founder shares for no consideration, which surrender was effective retroactively, resulting in 2,501,250 shares being outstanding. Such Class B common stock included an aggregate of up to 326,250 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Offering (assuming the initial stockholders do not purchase any Public Shares in the Offering and excluding the Placement Units and underlying securities). On May 1, 2022, the Sponsor transferred 5,000 shares to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and 5,000 shares to each of the Company’s independent directors. Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated April 5, 2022 between Lloyd Bloom and the Sponsor, Lloyd Bloom, one of the independent directors, also subscribed 10,000 Class B Common Stock at $5.00 per share. As of June 30, 2022, the Sponsor owned 2,471,250 shares of Class B common stock. As the underwriters’ over-allotment option has been exercised in full on August 5, 2022, 326,250 of such shares held by the Sponsor will no longer be subject to forfeiture.
The initial stockholders holding the founder shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any shares of the Class B common stock (except to certain permitted transferees) until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of an initial business combination or (B) subsequent to an initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per unit (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 an initial business combination, or (y) the date on which the Company 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.
Promissory Note – Related Party
On April 22, 2022, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,
to be used for payment of costs related to the Offering. The note is
non-interest
bearing and payable on the earlier of the consummation of the Offering or December 31, 2022. The outstanding amount has been repaid after the completion of the offering out
of the $431,000 of offering proceeds that has been allocated for the payment of offering expenses. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had borrowed $113,774 under the promissory note with the Sponsor. Subsequently, on August 11, 2022, the Company has repaid $113,774 under the promissory note with the Sponsor.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or 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 initial business combination, the Company will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of an initial business combination. The units would be identical to the placement units. As of June 30, 2022, there is no amount outstanding under such Working Capital Loans.
