BIG CYPRESS ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations
Big Cypress Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)
is a newly organized blank check company incorporated in Delaware on November 12, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting
a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses
(“Business Combination”).
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not
commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public
Offering (“IPO”) which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will
not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates
non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and other income
or loss resulting from changes in fair value of the warrant liability.
The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 11, 2021 (the “Effective
Date”). On January 14, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”) and, with respect to
the shares of common stock included in the Units sold (the “Public Shares”), which included the full exercise by the underwriters
of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 115,000,000 ,
which is discussed in Note 4. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, and one-half redeemable warrant to purchase one share of
common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per whole share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company
consummated the sale of 417,200 units (the “Placement Units”), at a price of $ 10.00 per unit, in a private placement to Big
Cypress Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $ 4,172,000 , which is discussed in Note 5.
Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $ 6,108,360
consisting of $ 1,529,500 of underwriting fee, $ 4,220,500 of deferred underwriting fee, and $ 358,360 of other offering costs, and of which
$ 359,874 were allocated to expense associated with the warrant liability.
Following the closing of the IPO on January 14, 2021,
$ 116,150,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Placement Units
was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth
in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds
itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except
with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income
tax obligations (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from this IPO and the sale of the Placement
Units will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination,
(b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended
and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete
the initial business combination within 15 months (or up to 21 months) from the closing of this IPO, subject to applicable law. The proceeds
deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority
over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with
the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial business combination either (i) in
connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision
as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be
made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $ 10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds
held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).
7
The
Company will have 15 months (or up to 21 months) from the closing of the IPO on January 14, 2021 to consummate a Business Combination
(the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period,
the Company will redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, 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 franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable
law and as further described in the registration statement, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to
(i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and placement shares in connection with the completion of the initial
business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and placement shares in connection with
a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their
rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and placement shares if the Company fails
to complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period.
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, 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) $ 10.00
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 $10.00 per 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 Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations,
nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes
that the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its
Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that it 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 these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
Business Combination Agreement
On June 21, 2021, the Company, entered into a business
combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, Big Cypress Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“SAB”) and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as the stockholder representative to the SAB stockholders. The Business
Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will
merge with and into SAB, with SAB surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of
the Business Combination (the “Closing”), it is anticipated that the Company will change its name to “SAB Biotherapeutics,
Inc.” (“New SAB”). The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter
referred to as the “Business Combination.” The Business Combination is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, following
the receipt of the required approval by the Company’s stockholders and the fulfilment of other customary closing conditions.
In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions
of the Business Combination Agreement, prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “ Effective Time ”) the outstanding
preferred stock of SAB will convert into common stock and at the Effective Time, (i) the outstanding common (including the converted preferred
stock) of SAB (collectively, the “ SAB Shares ”) will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into a number
of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “ Company New Shares ”), based on SAB’s equity
value; (ii) each outstanding vested and unvested option to purchase SAB Shares will be canceled in exchange for a comparable option to
purchase Company New Shares, based on SAB’s equity value; and (iii) each unvested award of restricted SAB Shares will be converted
into a comparable right to receive restricted Company Shares, based on SAB’s equity value, in each of the foregoing cases, allocated
in the manner described in the Business Combination Agreement. For purposes of the Business Combination Agreement, SAB’s equity
value is $ 300.0 million.
8
In addition to the foregoing consideration,
SAB stockholders shall be entitled to receive, as additional consideration, and without any action on behalf of the Company, Merger
Sub, or the Company’s stockholders, additional Company New Shares (the “ Earnout Shares ”), to be issued as
follows during the period from and after the Closing until the fifth anniversary of the Closing (the “ Earnout
Period ”) (A) 3,000,000 Earnout Shares, if the VWAP (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of Company Shares is
greater than or equal to $15.00 for any twenty (20) Trading Days (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) within a period
of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, (B) 3,000,000 Earnout Shares, if the VWAP of Company Shares is greater than or equal to
$20.00 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, (C) 3,000,000 Earnout Shares, if
the VWAP of Company Shares is greater than or equal to $25.00 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within a period of thirty (30)
consecutive Trading Days, and (D) 3,000,000 Earnout Shares, if the VWAP of Company Shares is greater than or equal to $30.00 for any
twenty (20) Trading Days within a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days. During the Earnout Period, if New SAB experiences
a Change of Control (as defined as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), then any Earnout Shares not already earned and
issued to the SAB stockholders shall be deemed earned and the balance of the Earnout Shares shall be issuable by New SAB to the SAB
stockholders immediately prior to consummation of such Change of Control transaction.
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated
under certain customary and limited circumstances described in the Business Combination Agreement, including, without limitation, each
party’s right to terminate, subject to certain limited exceptions, if the Business Combination is not consummated by December 15,
2021. If the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will have
any liability with respect to the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement or any further obligation under the Business Combination
Agreement, other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of Willful Breach or Fraud (each, as defined in the Business
Combination Agreement).
Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued
Financial Statements
In April 2021, the Company concluded that,
because of a misapplication of the accounting guidance related to its Public and Private Placement warrants the Company issued in
January 2021, the Company’s previously issued balance sheet as of January 14, 2021 on Form 8-K filed with SEC on January
21, 2021 should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company restated its balance sheet included in that Form 8-K as
shown below.
On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting
Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”).
In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the
warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since issuance on January 14, 2021, the
Company’s warrants were accounted for as equity within the Company’s previously reported balance sheet, and after discussion
and evaluation, management, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that the warrants should be presented as liabilities with
subsequent fair value remeasurement.
Historically, the Warrants were reflected as a component
of equity as opposed to liabilities on the balance sheets and the statements of operations did not include the subsequent non-cash changes
in estimated fair value of the Warrants, based on our application of FASB ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s
Own Equity (“ASC 815-40). The views expressed in the SEC Staff Statement were not consistent with the Company’s historical
interpretation of the specific provisions within its warrant agreement and the Company’s application of ASC 815-40 to the warrant
agreement. The Company reassessed its accounting for Warrants issued on January 14, 2021, in light of the SEC Staff’s published
views. Based on this reassessment, management determined that the Warrants should be classified as liabilities measured at fair value
upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Company Statement of Operations each reporting period.
Impact of the Restatement
The impact to the balance sheet dated January 14,
2021, filed on Form 8-K on January 21, 2021 related to the impact of accounting for public and private warrants as liabilities at fair
value resulted in a $ 7.0 million increase to the warrant liabilities line item on January 14, 2021 and offsetting decrease to the Class
A common stock subject to redemption mezzanine equity line item. Transaction costs of the IPO of $ 355,750 were allocated to expense associated
with the warrant liability, which is reflected in the change to the accumulated deficit line. There is no change to total stockholders’
equity at any reported balance sheet date.

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for
interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain
information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or
omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information
and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the
SEC on April 2, 2021, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The interim results for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”),
and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that
are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements
of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and
proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.
10
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with
an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did no t have any cash equivalents as of
June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2021, substantially all of the assets
held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which invest in U.S. Treasury securities.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private
Placement Warrants (collectively, “Warrants”, which are discussed in Note 2, Note 4, Note 5 and Note 9) in accordance with
ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, and concluded that a provision in the
Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity.
As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on
the Condensed Balance Sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the IPO) and at each reporting date in accordance
with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, with changes in fair value recognized in the Condensed Statement of Operations in
the period of change.
Offering Costs Associated
with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies
with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred
through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable
financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received.
Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of
operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of
the Initial Public Offering. Transaction costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 amounted to $ 6,108,360 ,
of which $ 359,874
were allocated to expense associated with the warrant liability.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control
of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified
as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features
certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future
events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the
stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
11
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC
740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the
expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax
benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established
when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The deferred tax assets were deemed
to be de minimis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process
for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits
to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest
and penalties as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result
in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has identified the United States as its only “major”
tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. These potential examinations
may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal
and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially
change over the next twelve months. The provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis for the period ended June 30, 2021.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating
earnings per share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2021, which are not currently redeemable and are
not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per common share since such shares, if redeemed,
only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings, less the Company’s portion available to pay taxes. The Company
has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement to purchase 5,958,600 shares of
common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future
events. As a result, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the period presented.
Net Income per Common Share
The Company’s net income is adjusted for the
portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings
of the Trust Account and not the income or losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated as
follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the federal
depository insurance coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company
is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair
Value Measurement,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period,
and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets
and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the
assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs
(market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market
participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based
on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1 —
Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 —
Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
Level 3 —
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
See Note 9 for additional information on assets and
liabilities measured at fair value.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06,
Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies
accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain
settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings
per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not
impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued,
but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
13
Note 4 — Initial Public Offering
Public Units
On January 14, 2021, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units,
at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option to purchase
an additional 1,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, and one-half warrant
to purchase one share of common stock (the “Public Warrants”).
Public Warrants
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. The warrants
will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering or 30 days after the completion of its initial business
combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional
shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial business
combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective
issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s
sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Company’s sponsor or its affiliates, prior
to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60%
of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial business combination on the date of the consummation
of the initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common
stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial business
combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted
(to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption
trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of
the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares
of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration
statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus
is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of a warrant
unless common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws
of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant.
In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant
will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of common stock underlying such unit.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
may call the warrants for redemption:
●
in whole and not in part;
●
at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;
●
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and
●
if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the
common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the
notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption
as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless
basis.” If the management exercises this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by
surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the
number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below)
over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported
last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of
redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
14
Note 5 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor
purchased an aggregate of 417,200 Placement Units, at a price of $ 10.00 per Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 4,172,000 ,
in a private placement. A portion of the proceeds from the private placement was added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust.
Each Placement Unit was identical to the Units sold
in the IPO, except for the placement warrants (“Placement Warrants”). The Placement Warrants and the common stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until after the completion of a Business
Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be
non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Placement Warrants are held by
someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and
exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. If the Company does not complete its initial business combination
within 15 months (or up to 21 months) from the closing of this IPO, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Units held in the trust
account will be used to fund the redemption of its public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Placement Warrants
will expire.

Founder Shares
On November 12, 2020, the Company issued 2,156,250
shares of common stock to the Sponsor for $ 25,000 in cash, or approximately $ 0.012 per share, in connection with formation. On December
7, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited 161,719 founder shares to the Company and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., the representative of the

375,000 shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
As discussed further below, on
January 4, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited 28,750 founder
shares to the Company and Ladenburg and certain of its employees purchased from the Company an aggregate of 28,750 representative
shares at an average purchase price of approximately $0.008 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 230 .
As a result, the Sponsor currently owns 2,630,625 shares.
The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or
sell 50% of its founder shares until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion of the Company’s initial business
combination or (B) the date the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for
stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period
commencing after the Company’s initial business combination, and the remaining 50% of the founder shares until six months after
the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, or earlier, if, in either case, subsequent to the Company’s
initial business combination, the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction
that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Representative Shares
On December 7, 2020, the Sponsor forfeited 161,719
founder shares to the Company and Ladenburg and certain of its employees purchased from the Company an aggregate of 161,719

On January 4, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited 28,750
founder shares to the Company and Ladenburg and certain of its employees purchased from the Company an aggregate of 28,750
representative shares at an average purchase price of approximately $ 0.008
per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 230 .
Following the 1/3 common stock dividend effected January 3, 2021 (as described herein), Ladenburg and certain of its employees
now hold an aggregate of 244,375
representative shares (of which up to 31,875
were subject to forfeiture). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise of their over-allotment option,
the 31,875
shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
15
Ladenburg and certain of its employees have entered
into a subscription agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to
their representative shares, as applicable, and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, (ii)
waive their redemption rights with respect to their representative shares, as applicable, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions
from the trust account with respect to their representative shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within
the Combination Period.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On November 19, 2020, Company issued an unsecured
promissory note to the Sponsor for an aggregate of up to $ 250,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO. This loan was non-interest bearing
and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2021 or the completion of the IPO. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had drawn down $150,000
under the promissory note. On January 14, 2021, the Company paid the $ 150,000 balance on the note from the proceeds of the IPO.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may,
but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a
Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company.
Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination
does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans
but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up
to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender,
upon consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. The units would be identical to the Placement Units. Through
June 30, 2021, no Working Capital Loans had been made.
Administrative Service Fee
The Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of
the Company’s Sponsor a monthly fee of an aggregate of $ 10,000
for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Company’s Business Combination
or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company has
recorded $ 30,000 and $ 60,000
in service fee expense, respectively, within operating costs in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.
Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter had a 45-day option from the date
of the IPO to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 additional Units at the public offering price less the underwriting commissions
to cover over-allotments, if any. On January 14, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option.
Upon consummation of the IPO on January 14, 2021,
the underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of 1.33 % of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $ 1,529,500 in the aggregate.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred
underwriting fee of 3.67 %
of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $ 4,220,500
in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in
the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
16
Registration Rights
The holders of the founder shares, representative
shares, placement units, and units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will have registration rights to require
the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to
or on the effective date of this offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration
demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back”
registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company. The Company will bear the expenses
incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Note 8 — Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock — The Company

The Company’s initial stockholder has agreed
not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of its founder shares until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion of the Company’s
initial business combination or (B) the date the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $ 12.50 per share
(as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading
day period commencing after the Company’s initial business combination, and not to transfer, assign or sell the remaining 50% of
the founder shares until six months after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, or earlier, if, in either
case, subsequent to the Company’s initial business combination, the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital
stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common
stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements
of the Company’s initial stockholders with respect to any founder shares.

The Company established the initial fair
value of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants on January 14, 2021, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering,
using a Monte Carlo simulation model. On June 30, 2021, the Company established the fair value of the Private Warrants using a Monto
Carlo simulation model, and the fair value of the Public Warrants by reference to the quoted market price. The Public Warrants
have traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC since January 14, 2021 under the trading symbol BCYPW. The Public and Private Warrants
were classified as Level 3 at January 14, 2021 and the Private Warrants were classified as Level 3 at June 30, 2021 due to the
use of unobservable inputs. As of June 30, 2021, the Public Warrants were transferred to Level 1 due to the use of the quoted
market price.
