−Removed: Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of:
−Removed: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution
−Removed: of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.
−Removed: Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
−Removed: all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination
−Removed: or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination.
−Removed: The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder
−Removed: approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company.
−Removed: The Public Stockholders will be entitled to
−Removed: redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $ 10.10 per Public
−Removed: Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable).
−Removed: There will be no redemption rights upon the completion
−Removed: of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
−Removed: The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a
−Removed: redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Accounting
−Removed: Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity .”
−Removed: of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s
−Removed: liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection
−Removed: with certain amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.
−Removed: In accordance with the rules of the U.S.
−Removed: Securities and
−Removed: Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99,
−Removed: redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside
−Removed: of permanent equity.
−Removed: Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial
−Removed: carrying value of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC
−Removed: The Class A common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99.
−Removed: If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, we
−Removed: have the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that
−Removed: it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize
−Removed: changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value
−Removed: at the end of each reporting period.
−Removed: We have elected to recognize the changes immediately.
−Removed: The accretion or remeasurement will be treated
−Removed: as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).
−Removed: Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.
−Removed: of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to
−Removed: an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination.
−Removed: the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority
−Removed: of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange
−Removed: If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide
−Removed: to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its second amended and restated certificate of
−Removed: incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S.
−Removed: Securities and Exchange Commission and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
−Removed: stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides
−Removed: to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation
−Removed: pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules.
−Removed: If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with
−Removed: a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during
−Removed: or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination.
−Removed: Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to
−Removed: redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
−Removed: Notwithstanding
−Removed: the foregoing, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
−Removed: tender offer rules, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder
−Removed: or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities
−Removed: Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more
−Removed: than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
−Removed: holders of the Founder Shares have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Public Shares held
−Removed: by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
−Removed: (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with a Business Combination
−Removed: or to redeem 100 % of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined
−Removed: below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless
−Removed: the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
−Removed: Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of February 2, 2022 provided that if the Company had not completed
