Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On December 22, 2021,
we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 18,975,000 Units, which included 2,475,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of
the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $189,750,000. I-Bankers Securities, Inc. and Dawson
James Securities, Inc. acted as joint book-running managers of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered
under the Securities Act on registration statements on Form S-1 (Nos. 333-257156 and 333-261763). The Securities and Exchange
Commission declared the registration statement effective on December 20, 2021.
Simultaneous with the
consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 7,347,500 Private Placement Warrants
to the Sponsor and I-Bankers and Dawson James at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,347,500.
The Private Placement
Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants: (i) are not redeemable by the Company
and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their
permitted transferees.
We paid a total of $3,450,000
in underwriting discounts and commissions and $609,623 for other costs and expenses related to the IPO. I-Bankers and Dawson James, representatives
of the several underwriters in the IPO, received a portion of the underwriting discounts and commissions related to the IPO. We also repaid
the promissory note to the Sponsor from the proceeds of the IPO. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and incurred
offering costs, the total net proceeds from our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants was $193,037,877, of which $191,647,500
(or $10.10 per unit sold in the IPO) was placed in the trust account. Other than as described above, no payments were made by us to directors,
officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates.
