+Added: The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the FPA.

+Added: receivable for the shares issued, and (iii) a loss on issuance of common stock within Other Income (Expense) representing the difference
+Added: between the face value of the stock subscription receivable and its present value at the issuance date.
+Added: The discount between the face
+Added: value and present value of the stock subscription receivable is accreted using the effective interest method over the remaining term of
+Added: the FPA, with each period’s accretion recorded as an increase to both the stock subscription receivable and APIC within stockholders’
+Added: equity (deficit).
+Added: The stock subscription receivable is presented as a reduction to total stockholders’ equity (deficit) and is relieved
+Added: as Optional Early Termination proceeds are received from the Forward Purchase Investor.

+Added: These valuation models require significant estimates and judgments, including assumptions related to the Company’s

+Added: As these warrants are classified as derivative
