Risk Factors.
−Removed: that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Form 10-K
−Removed: for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
−Removed: As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed
−Removed: in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC, except as set forth below:
−Removed: federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions.
−Removed: August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into federal law.
−Removed: The IRA provides for, among
−Removed: other things, a new U.S.
−Removed: federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S.
−Removed: corporations,
−Removed: by certain U.S.
−Removed: subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S.
−Removed: corporations, by “covered surrogate foreign corporations” (as defined
−Removed: in the IRA) and by certain affiliates of the foregoing (each, a “covered corporation”).
−Removed: Because our securities are trading
−Removed: on the Nasdaq, we are a “covered corporation” for this purpose.
−Removed: The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation
−Removed: itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased.
−Removed: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value
−Removed: of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase.
−Removed: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations
−Removed: are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the
−Removed: same taxable year.
−Removed: In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.
−Removed: Department of Treasury has been given authority
−Removed: to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and to prevent the avoidance of the excise tax.
−Removed: The IRA applies only to repurchases
−Removed: that occur after December 31, 2022.
−Removed: we complete a business combination after December 31, 2022, any redemption or other repurchase that occurs in connection with the business
−Removed: combination, or any other redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 may be subject to the excise tax.
−Removed: and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of
−Removed: the redemptions and repurchases, (ii) the nature and amount of the equity issued in connection with the business combination (or otherwise
−Removed: issued not in connection with the business combination but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination), and (iii)
−Removed: the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S.
−Removed: Department of the Treasury.
−Removed: In addition, because the excise tax would be
−Removed: payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined.
−Removed: foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete any business combination and in our ability to complete any
−Removed: such business combination.
−Removed: On March 22, 2023, the Company’s
−Removed: stockholders redeemed 18,000,868 shares for a total of $184,845,836.

−Removed: be recorded due to the redeemed shares.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a charge to stockholders’ deficit of $1,848,455 of excise tax
−Removed: liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed.
