+Added: If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (and the stockholders have not approved an amendment to the Company’s charter extending this time period), the Company will:
+Added: (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 the public shares, 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 taxes (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (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.
+Added: There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
+Added: The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, placement shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, placement shares and public shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or certain amendments to the Company’s charter prior thereto or to redeem 100 % of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any founder shares and placement shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame;
+Added: and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.
+Added: The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.15 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.15 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
+Added: However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company.
+Added: Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
+Added: Liquidity and Going Concern
+Added: As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 22,232 in its operating bank accounts, $ 295,802,694 in investments held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its Public Shares in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $ 96,188 .
+Added: As of December 31, 2022, $ 3,989,294 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income.
+Added: Our liquidity needs up to December 31, 2022 had been satisfied through a payment from our sponsor of $ 25,000 for the Founder Shares to cover certain offering costs, the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $ 144,746 and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering held outside of the trust account.
As of December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.
−Removed: Based on the foregoing, management believes that
−Removed: the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a
−Removed: Business Combination or one year from this filing.
−Removed: Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts
−Removed: payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target
−Removed: businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating
−Removed: the Business Combination.
+Added: Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will use the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
+Added: The Company expects it will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties.
+Added: The Company’s officers, directors and the Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs.
+Added: Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing.
+Added: If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses.
+Added: The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
+Added: The Company is less than 8 months from its mandatory liquidation as of the time of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” Management has determined that the liquidity condition due to insufficient working capital, described above, and mandatory liquidation raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date the financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are issued.
+Added: These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
−Removed: Management is currently evaluating the impact
−Removed: of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company's
−Removed: financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of
−Removed: the date of the financial statement.
−Removed: The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
−Removed: Note 2— Significant Accounting Policies
+Added: On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law.
+Added: The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S.
+Added: federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S.
+Added: domestic corporations and certain U.S.
+Added: domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023.
+Added: The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased.
+Added: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase.
+Added: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year.
+Added: In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.
+Added: Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
+Added: Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax.
+Added: Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.
+Added: In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined.
+Added: The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
+Added: Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statement.
+Added: The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty
+Added: The Company’s results of operations and ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.
+Added: The Company’s business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reassurance and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine.
+Added: The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and the Company’s ability to complete an initial business combination.

+Added: At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
+Added: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
+Added: The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
+Added: The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework.
+Added: ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
+Added: The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
+Added: Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity.
+Added: Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
+Added: ● Level 1—Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.
+Added: Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
+Added: ● Level 2—Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
+Added: ● Level 3—Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
+Added: Warrant Classification
+Added: The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).
+Added: The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification.
+Added: This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
+Added: For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
+Added: For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
+Added: The Company’s has analyzed the warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (“Public Warrants”) and warrants included in the Private Placement Units (the “Private Warrants”) and determined they are considered to be freestanding instruments and do not exhibit any of the characteristics in ASC 480 and therefore are not classified as liabilities under ASC 480.
+Added: The warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815 and therefore are classified in equity.

−Removed: Each Unit that the Company is offering has a price of $10.00 and consists of one share of Class
−Removed: A common stock and one redeemable warrant.

−Removed: and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: In accordance with SEC and its staff’s
−Removed: guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the
−Removed: control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
−Removed: Given that common stock

−Removed: to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99.

+Added: ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity.
+Added: The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity.
+Added: ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments.
+Added: As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021.
