Use of Proceeds from Registered Offerings
On
February 7, 2022, we consummated our initial public offering of 13,225,000 units, which included 1,725,000 units issued pursuant to the
full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, and one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A
common stock for $11.50 per share. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $ 132,250,000.
A.G.P. acted as sole book-running manager and The Benchmark Company, LLC acted as co-manager of the initial public offering. The securities
in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-262036). The SEC declared the
registration statements effective on February 2, 2022.
Simultaneously
with the closing of our initial public offering, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 754,000 placement units to the sponsor
at a purchase price of $10.00 per placement unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $7,540,000. This issuance of placement units was
be made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The placement units are identical
to the units sold in the initial public offering, except that (a) the placement units and their component securities will not be transferable,
assignable or saleable until 30 days after the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination except to permitted transferees
and (b) the warrants and rights included as a component of the placement units, so long as they are held by the sponsor or its permitted
transferees, will be entitled to registration rights, respectively. Following the closing of the initial public offering, an amount of
$139,790,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the initial public offering and the sale of the placement units to the
sponsor was to be placed in a Trust Account. This resulted in an overfunding of the Trust Account of $4,895,000. As such, subsequent
to the initial funding of the Trust Account, $2,000,000 was transferred to our operating cash account and $2,895,000 was used to pay
offering costs, including $2,745,000 of underwriting discounts and expenses. The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested only
in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

In
connection with the initial public offering, we incurred $7,738,161 in transaction costs, including $2,645,000 of underwriting discounts
and commission, $4,628,750 of deferred underwriting fees and $464,411 of other offering costs.
There
has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement as is described
in our final prospectus dated February 2, 2022 and filed with the SEC on February 4, 2022.
