NASDAQNasdaq Capital Markets rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem sharesthe Public Shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by JulyJanuary 11, 20222023 and (c) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combinationBusiness Combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Company will haveinitially had until July 11, 2022 to complete a Business Combination, which was extended to January 11, 2023 (the “Combination Period”) after the approval obtained at a special meeting of stockholders held on July 7, 2022 (the “Extension”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, 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 tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

At the special meeting of stockholders on July 7, 2022 in connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 6,845,606 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $68,488,348 (approximately $10.00 per share), which included $32,631 of interest earned on the Trust Account which was not previously used to pay the Company’s tax obligation, was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following these redemptions, the Company had 10,404,394 Public Shares outstanding and the aggregate amount remaining in the Trust Account at the time was $104,093,013.

On July 7, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor for up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,060,070 (the “Extension Funds”) to be deposited into the Company’s Trust Account in connection with the Extension.  The Company will deposit up to six equal installments of the Extension Funds, or $343,345, into the Trust Account on a monthly basis for each month of the Extension and such amount will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of the Public Shares upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of Public Shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Extension Funds note is not convertible and bears no interest and is due and payable upon the earlier of the date on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination or the date of the liquidation of the Company. As of September 30, 2022, an aggregate of $1,030,035 has been drawn down on the Extension Funds and deposited into the Trust Account to cover the first three months of the extension. On October 11, 2022 and November 9, 2022, the Company drew an additional $343,345, for an aggregate of $686,690, under the Extension Funds and deposited it into the Trust Account for the fourth and fifth months of the Extension.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7)6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to 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 discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay our taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

On May 18, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and Near Intelligence Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Near”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, immediately prior to the consummation (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into Near, with Near surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”) and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Near, as the surviving entity of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” or the “Target Business Combination”). In connection with the Mergers, the Company will change its corporate name to “Near Intelligence, Inc.”

Liquidity and Going Concern

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or 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”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. If the Company completes a Business Combination, it may repay the notes out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it. 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 notes, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. On January 21, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note with respect to the Working Capital Loans in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to the Sponsor. The Working Capital Loan is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination or may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants (see Note 8). As of September 30, 2022, the Company had drawn $1,072,500 on the Working Capital Loan and had $472,500 available to draw.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $113,062 in its operating bank accounts, $105,664,618 in cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its common stock in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $2,601,113, which excludes $154,924 of interest earned on the Trust Account which is available to pay Delaware franchise taxes payable and income taxes payable. As of September 30, 2022, $590,643 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company has used and will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account and any additional funds available under the financing arrangement described below for completing the Company’s Target Business Combination.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company has until January 11, 2023, to consummate an initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial Business Combination by this time. If an initial Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should an initial Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after January 11, 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus 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 the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

The Company previously accounted for its outstanding Public Warrants (as defined in Note 4)In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 5) (collectively,Belarus commenced a military action with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering as componentscountry of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. The warrant agreements governing the Warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant. In addition, the warrant agreement includes a provision that in the event of a tender offer or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of stock, all holders of the Warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their Warrants (the “tender offer provision”).

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement.

In further consideration of the SEC Statement, the Company’s management further evaluated the Warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the tender offer provision in the public warrant agreement fails the “classified in stockholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25.

In addition to revisions for the above, the Company allocated its issuance costs of $9,891,996—consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fees, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $404,496 of other offering costs—to the issuance of its Class A shares and Warrants in the amount of $9,527,887 and $364,109, respectively. The issuance costs attributed to the Warrants were revised at IPO date below as those offering costs were expensed to the condensed statement of operations versus being accounted for as a reduction in equity.

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 8 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 condensedconsolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectusannual report on Form 10-K for its Initial Public Offeringthe year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on January 11,April 12, 2022. The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 as well ashas been derived from the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021 and the Company’saudited financial statements included in that annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2021.report. The interim results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 20212022 or for any future periods.

 

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.7 million in cash, and a working capital of approximately $1.0 million.


 

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founders Shares (as defined in Note 6), and loans from the Sponsor of approximately $89,000. The loan was repaid in full on January 11, 2021. Subsequent from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds received from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement.

 

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Basis of Presentation – Going Concern,” management has determined that the expected shortfall in working capital over the period of time between the date these financial statement are issued and its estimated business combination date raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Reclassifications

MARCH

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements to conform to the quarterly period’s presentation.

(Unaudited)2022 to conform with the current quarterly periods’ presentations. Such reclassification has no effect on net income (loss) as previously reported.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which were formed on April 21, 2022. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company

 

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 independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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 statementstatements 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.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesincome and expenses during the reporting period.periods.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly 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 not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

 

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

 

At MarchSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were heldprimarily invested in U.S. Treasury securities. At December 31, 2020, there were no assetsAll of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account.Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Interest earned and gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including Class A common stock that features redemption rights that isare 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, Class A 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 consolidated balance sheet.sheets.

 


KLUDEIN I ACQUISITION CORP.The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the re-measurement from initial carrying value to redemption amount, which approximates fair value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was an increase of $1,490,958 and $1,498,386, respectively, which represents cumulative earnings on the Trust Account through September 30, 2022, net of Trust Account earnings paid out upon redemptions, and amounts available to pay for the Company’s tax obligations as of September 30, 2022.

Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives“Derivatives and HedgingHedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares of common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the private placement warrants,Private Placement Warrants, the fair value was estimated using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Rss-RubensteinCox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology atsince the IPOclosing date of Initial Public Offering and as of March 31, 2021(seeSeptember 30, 2022 (see Note 10)9). For the public warrants, the fair value was estimated using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Rss-RubensteinCox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology at the IPOclosing date of Initial Public Offering and the level 1 quoted prices in an active market since the public warrants starting trading separately on March 1, 2021 and as of March 31, 2021(seeSeptember 30, 2022 (see Note 10)9).

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluated the accounting for its promissory notes that feature conversion options in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) a promissory note that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. However, the Company has elected to account for its promissory notes at fair value, as described in Note 9. Changes in fair value are recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Allocation of issuance costs

 

The Company accounts for the allocation of its issuance costs to its Warrantswarrants using the guidance in ASC Topic 470-20, Debt“Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“Options” (“ASC 470-20), applied by analogy. Under this guidance, if debt or stock is issued with detachable warrants, the proceeds need to be allocated to the two instruments using either the fair value method, the relative fair value method, or the residual value method. The guidance also requires companies to use a consistent approach in allocating issuance costs between the instruments. Accordingly, the Company allocated its issuance costs of $9,891,996—$14,303,235—consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fees, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting commissions, $4,411,238 of fair value of the Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investor, and $404,496$404,497 of other offering costs—to the issuance of its Class A sharescommon stock and Warrantswarrants in the amount of $9,527,887$13,780,222 and $364,109,$523,013, respectively. Issuance costs attributed to the Warrantswarrants were expensed to the condensed statement of operations.operations during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Issuance costs attributed to the Class A common stock were initially charged to temporary equity and then re-measured to Class A common stock subject to redemption upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accountingaccounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized forASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amountsrecognition of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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 change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances arevaluation allowance to be established when necessary, to reduceit is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets to the amount expected towill not be realized. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The Company’s effective tax rate was (112.60)% and 0.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 2.53% and 0.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, due to changes in fair values of warrant liability and Working Capital Loan, which are not included in taxable income, and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

 

FASB ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attributeprocess for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax positionsposition taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than notmore-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.

While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through September 30, 2022.

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 March 31, 2021September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021. 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 examinationstaxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These 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 12 months. For interim periods, the income tax provision or benefit related to ordinary income or loss is computed at an estimated annual effective income tax rate differsand the income tax provision or benefit related to all other items is individually computed and recognized when the items occur.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the statutoryTreasury. In addition, because the excise tax ratewould be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of 21% forany required payment of the three months ended March 31, 2021, dueexcise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to the valuation allowance recorded oncomplete a Business Combination and in the Company’s net operating losses.ability to complete a Business Combination.

 

Net income (Loss) Income per Share of Common ShareStock

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net (loss) income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-averageweighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding duringfor the period, excludingperiod. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating (loss) income per share of common stock. Re-measurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from (loss) income per share of common stock subject to forfeiture. as the redemption value approximates fair value. Net (loss) income is allocated among the classes of common stock based on weighted average shares outstanding.

The warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common stock subjectare exercisable to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share.

NOTE 4.3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 17,250,000 Units, which includes a full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,250,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7)8).

 

NOTE 5.4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,200,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant ($5,200,000 in the aggregate), in a private placement. Certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors (“Anchor Investor”) purchased an aggregate of 780,000 Private Placement Warrants from the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant ($780,000 in the aggregate). As a result, the Sponsor and Anchor Investor held 4,420,000 and 780,000 Private Placement Warrants, respectively. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. As a result of the difference in the initial fair value of $0.72 per warrant of the Private Placement Warrants and the purchase price of $1.00 per share, the Company recorded a contribution to additional paid-in capital of $1,456,000 as of the date of the Private Placement issuance which is included in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

NOTE 6.5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Founder Shares

 

On September 24, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 4,312,500 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). On January 6, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to the Company’s director nominees. These 75,000 Founder Shares were not subject to forfeiture in the event the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 562,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment iswas not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor willwould collectively own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor doesdid not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, no Founder Shares were forfeited, and none are currently subject to forfeiture.

In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Anchor Investor acquired from the Sponsor an indirect economic interest in an aggregate of 635,625 Founder Shares at the original purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares. The Sponsor has agreed to distribute such Founder Shares to the Anchor Investor after the completion of a Business Combination. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investor to be $4,411,238, or $6.94 per share. The fair value of the Founder Shares was estimated using the income approach. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A and Topic 5T. Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering using the with-and-without method, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs related to the Founder Shares amounted to a contribution to additional paid-in capital $4,411,238, of which $158,805 were expensed to the statement of operations and included in transaction costs attributable to warrant liabilities and the remaining $4,252,433 recorded as an additional offering cost as a reduction of temporary equity, and re-measured to accumulated deficit upon recording temporary equity at redemption value during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The transfer of the Founders Shares to the Company’s director nominees, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founders Shares were effectively transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares and common stock purchase warrants is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.

Promissory Note — Related Party

In certain circumstances, each of the Reg Rights Holders can demand up to two underwritten offerings and will be entitled to piggyback registration rights, in each case subject to certain limitations set forth in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

Underwriting Agreement

 

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,037,500 in the aggregate.

Advisor Agreement

On September 16, 2021, the Company entered into an advisor agreement, in which the advisor (CF&CO) will act as the Company’s placement agent and arranger in connection with any financing. Additionally, the advisor will act as a capital markets advisor in connection with the Target Business Combination. The Company agrees to pay the advisor the following (i) $6 million if the Total Capital (as hereinafter defined) involved in the Financing and Target Business Combination is less than $175.5 million (ii) $8 million if the Total Capital involved in the Financing and Target Business Combination is equal to or greater than $175.5 million but less than $225 million; or (iii) $10 million if the Total Capital involved in the Financing and Target Business Combination is equal to or greater than $225 million. For purposes of this Agreement, “Total Capital” means the aggregate amount of proceeds received from any Financing plus the total amount of proceeds raised in connection with the initial public offering of the Company (the “IPO”) that remain in the Trust Account at the time of the closing of the Target Business Combination, after giving effect to redemptions of any Public Stockholders. Upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Target Business Combination or any other Business Combination, (ii) the liquidation of the Company in accordance with its organizational documents if it does not consummate a Business Combination prior to its deadline to do so (as such deadline may be extended by amendment to the Company’s organizational documents), or (iii) termination of this Agreement, the Company will promptly reimburse CF&CO for its out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by CF&CO in connection with CF&CO rendering its services under this Agreement, including the fees and disbursements of legal counsel, whether or not any Financing occurs; provided that, except as contemplated by the Indemnification Provisions, such expenses will not exceed $50,000 in the aggregate, in each case unless approved in writing (including e-mail) by the Company in advance (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Merger Agreement

On May 18, 2022, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

Near, a global leader in privacy-led data intelligence, curates one of the world’s largest sources of intelligence on people, places and products. Near processes data from over 1.6 billion unique user IDs, in over 70 million places across 44 countries to empower marketing and operational data leaders to confidently reach, understand and market to consumers and optimize their business results. Near has offices in Los Angeles, Silicon Valley, Paris, Bangalore, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. Near serves major enterprises in retail, real estate, restaurants, tourism, technology, marketing and other industries.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, immediately prior to the Closing, (i) the First Merger will be consummated, as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Near will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined below), and (ii) the Second Merger will be consummated, as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Near will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist and each membership interest of Merger Sub 2 will remain outstanding as a membership interest of the surviving entity. Following the Business Combination, KludeIn will change its name to “Near Intelligence, Inc.”, or such other name as may be mutually agreed to by KludeIn and Near.

The Company’s securities (the “Merger Consideration”) payable to Near security holders from the Company at the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”) will have an aggregate value equal to, without duplication, (i) the Company Base Value (as defined below), (ii) minus (or plus, if negative), the Closing Net Debt, (iii) (x) plus, in the event that the Closing Net Working Capital Amount exceeds the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the difference between the Closing Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount, or (y) minus, in the event that the Closing Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the difference between the Closing Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount, and (iv) minus the amount of any unpaid Company Transaction Expenses. For purposes of the Merger Agreement, “Company Base Value” is an amount equal to Six Hundred Seventy-Five Million U.S. Dollars ($675,000,000) plus the amount of any Permitted Equity Financing. A “Permitted Equity Financing” is any equity financing transaction or series of equity financing transactions entered into by Near on or after the date of the Merger Agreement, by way of issuance, subscription or sale, which results in cash proceeds to Near prior to the First Effective Time in an amount not exceeding Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($50,000,000), in exchange for shares of stock or convertible securities of Near (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any instrument issued by Near in connection with the Permitted Debt contemplated under the Merger Agreement).

The Merger Consideration to be paid to the Near security holders will be paid solely by the delivery of new Company securities in accordance with the conversion ratio specified in the Merger Agreement. In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the First Effective Time (i) each share of Near’s common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into a right to receive a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Purchaser Class A Common Stock”) (with each valued at $10.00 per share), (ii) each outstanding Near restricted stock unit (whether vested or unvested) will be assumed by the Company and converted into a restricted stock unit of the Company, (iii) each outstanding Near warrant that is issued and outstanding will be assumed by the Company and converted into a corresponding warrant to purchase shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of such warrants, and (iv) to the extent there are any other Near convertible securities, if not exercised or converted prior to the First Effective Time, such security will be cancelled, retired and terminated and cease to represent a right to acquire, be exchanged for or convert into shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock.

The material terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary agreements, including those briefly explained below, were previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 19, 2022.

Common Stock Subscription Agreement

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, KludeIn entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) and related registration rights agreement (the “CF Registration Rights Agreement”) with CF Principal Investments LLC (“CF”). Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, following the Closing, Near, as KluedIn’s successor, has the right to sell to CF up to a Total Commitment (as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement) of $100,000,000 in shares of Near’s Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Near is obligated under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and the CF Registration Rights Agreement to file a registration statement with the SEC to register under the Securities Act for the resale by CF of shares of Common Stock that Near may issue to CF under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

Near will not have the right to commence any sales of Common Stock to CF under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement until the Commencement (as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement), which is the time when all of the conditions to the Near’s right to commence sales of Common Stock to CF set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement have been satisfied, including that a registration statement relating to the Common Stock is filed and declared effective by the SEC.

After the Commencement, Near will have the right, from time to time at its sole discretion until the first day of the month next following the 36-month period from and after the Commencement, to direct CF to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Near will control the timing and amount of any sales of the Common Stock to CF. Actual sales of shares of the Common Stock to CF under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by Near from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, and the trading price of the Common Stock.

The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock that Near elects to sell to CF pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will be the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the applicable purchase date on which Near has timely delivered written notice to CF directing it to purchase the shares of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Near will receive 98% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock so sold.

In connection with the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Near will issue to CF shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to $2,000,000 at a per share price based on the price of Near’s Common Stock on the Commencement Date, as consideration for CF’s irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

Registration Statement on Form S-4

The Company initially filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, with the SEC on July 1, 2022 along with subsequent amendments on September 9, 2022, October 19, 2022 and November 10, 2022, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to be issued under the Merger Agreement as the Merger Consideration. However, there is no assurance as to when or if this Registration Statement will be declared effective by the SEC.

NOTE 9. WARRANT LIABILITIES

As of MarchSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 8,625,000 Public Warrants outstanding. As of December 31, 2020 there were no Public Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A 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.

 

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination or within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act; provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

 
if, and only if, the reported closing price of the Class A 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 to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

 

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A 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 Class A 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 Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, 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 Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of such 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 its 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 above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

 

At MarchSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 5,200,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. As of December 31, 2020 there were no Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants will and the shares of common sharesstock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 10.9 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 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:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

 Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

 Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on ourthe Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at MarchSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Private Placement Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein methodology, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrantswarrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the IPOclosing date of the Initial Public Offering was derived from observable public warrantPublic Warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. The expected volatility as of subsequent valuation dates was implied from the Company’s own public warrantPublic Warrant pricing. TheAs of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Public warrantsWarrants were valued using the level 1 quoted prices in an active market.

 

Due to the use of quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) to measure the fair values of the Public Warrants subsequent to initial measurement, the Company had transfers out of Level 3 totaling $4.8 million during the period from January 11, 2021 through March 31, 2021.

Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

At March 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $172,532,661$105,664,618 (including approximately $33,700$590,643 of interest income, net ofincluding unrealized losses)loss) consisting of U.S. Treasury Billstreasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through March 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, we have nothad withdrawn any$322,309 of interest earned from the Trust Account.Account to pay for the Company’s previously unpaid and accrued tax obligations.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account and any additional funds available under the financing arrangement described in Note 5 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

 

At March 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, we had cash of $655,350.$113,062 and borrowing capacity under the Working Capital Loans of $427,500. As of September 30, 2022, $1,072,500 was borrowed under the Working Capital Loan. The fair value of the note as of September 30, 2022 was $528,300. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account and this borrowing capacity primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and fromfor completing the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete aCompany’s Target Business Combination.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.7 million in cash, and a working capital of approximately $1.0 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the FoundersFounder Shares, (as defined in Note 6), and loans from the Sponsor of approximately $89,000. The loan was repaid in full on January 11, 2021. Subsequent fromto the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds received from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement.Placement Warrants.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, make Working Capital Loans. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. If we complete a Business Combination, we may repay the notes out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the notes, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. On January 21, 2022, we issued a promissory in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to our Sponsor. The note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination or may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants (see Note 8). As of September 30, 2022, the Company had drawn $1,072,500 on the Working Capital Loan and had $427,500 available to draw.

As indicated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, at September 30, 2022, the Company had $113,062 in cash, $105,664,618 in cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its common stock in connection therewith and working capital deficit of $2,601,113, which excludes $154,924 of interest earned on the Trust Account which is available to pay Delaware franchise taxes payable and income taxes payable. As of September 30, 2022, $590,643 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company has used and will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account and any additional funds available under the financing arrangement described below for completing the Company’s Target Business Combination.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC TopicFinancial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, “Basis“Presentation of PresentationFinancial Statements – Going Concern,” managementthe Company has until January 11, 2023, to consummate an initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial Business Combination by this time. If an initial Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management has determined that the expected shortfall in working capital over the period of time between the date these financial statement are issuedliquidity condition and its estimated business combination datemandatory liquidation, should an initial Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern untilconcern. No adjustments have been made to the earliercarrying amounts of the consummation of the Business Combinationassets or the dateliabilities should the Company isbe required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.liquidate after January 11, 2023.

 


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021.September 30, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

 


Contractual obligationsObligations

 

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

 

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit,unit, or $6,037,500 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 completeswe complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any material changes to the following critical accounting policies:policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2022, except as follows:

 

Warrant LiabilitiesConvertible Instruments

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company accountsevaluated the accounting for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidanceits promissory notes that feature conversion options in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) andaccordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants areASC 815 requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments pursuantaccording to ASC 480, meetcertain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (a) the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480,economic characteristics and whether the warrants meet allrisks of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrantsembedded derivative instrument are indexednot clearly and closely related to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuanceeconomic characteristics and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet allrisks of the criteria for equity classification,host contract, (b) a promissory note that embodies both the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capitalembedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changesunder otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in the estimated fair value ofreported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the warrants are recognizedsame terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a non-cash gain or loss onderivative instrument. However, the statements of operations. For the private placement warrants, theCompany has elected to account for its Working Capital Loan at fair value, was estimated using a binomial lattice model incorporatingas described in Note 9 to the Cox-Rss-Rubenstein methodology at the IPO date and as of March 31, 2021(see Note 10). For the public warrants, the fair value was estimated using a binomial lattice model incorporating the Cox-Rss-Rubenstein methodology at the IPO date and the level 1 quoted prices in an active market as of March 31, 2021(see Note 10).accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion 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 measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our 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 our condensed balance sheets.

Net Loss Per Common Share

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, if any, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding for the period. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted for and non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net loss less income attributable to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

  

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

UnderDisclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the supervisionExchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and withreported within the participation oftime periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financialChief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and accounting officer, we conducted15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, as such term isSeptember 30, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, and in light ofAct) were not effective, due to the material weakness in internal controls described below, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021.

Our internal control over financial reporting did not result in effective controls to properly evaluate complex equity transactions. This lack of control led to improper accounting classification of certain of the Warrants we issued in January 2021 which, due to its impact on our financial statements which we determined to be a material weakness. This mistake in classification was brought to our attention only when the SEC issued a Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) dated April 12, 2021 (the “SEC Statement”). The SEC Statement addresses certain accounting and reporting considerations related to warrants of a kind similar to those we issued at the time of our initial public offering in January 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that occurred duringour condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 covered bycondensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Qpresent fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

We plan to continue to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that hasapply to our condensed consolidated financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, with the exception of the below.reporting.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including consulting with subject matter experts related to the accounting for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants. The Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements and other literature for all significant or unusual transactions, we have expanded and will continue to improve these processes to ensure that the nuances of such transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, except for the below risk factors, there have been no material changes tofrom the risk factors previously disclosed in our final prospectusAnnual Report on Form 10-K for its Initial Public Offeringthe year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC.

We have identified a material weakness inSEC on April 12, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management is likewise required,Quarterly Report on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As described elsewhere in this report, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the warrants we issued in connection with our initial public offering in January 2021.

As a result of this material weakness, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2021. This material weakness led to a material misstatement of our warrant liabilities, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit and related financial disclosuresForm 10-Q for the three monthsquarter ended March 31, 2021.

To respond to this material weakness, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weakness identified related to our accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the warrants we issued in connection2022, which was filed with the January 2021 Initial Public Offering, see “Note 2—Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to the accompanying financial statements,SEC on May 16, 2022, our Registration Statement on Form S-4, as well as Part II, Item 4: Controls and Procedures included in this quarterly Report.

Any failure to maintain such internal control could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are notamended, which was initially filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed,with the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on July 1, 2022, along with subsequent amendments on September 9, 2022, October 19, 2022 and November 10, 2022, and our business. Failure to timely file will cause us to be ineligible to utilize short form registration statementsQuarterly Report on Form S-3 or Form S-4,10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which may impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue shares to effect an acquisition. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

The SEC issued guidance on the application of warrant accounting guidance which required that our warrants be accounted for as liabilities rather than as equity and such requirement resulted in a restatement of our previously issued financial statements.

On April 12, 2021, the staff ofwas filed with the SEC issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Statement”). In the 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, our warrants were accounted for as equity within our balance sheet, and after discussion and evaluation, including with our independent auditors, we have concluded that our warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement. Therefore we conducted a valuation of our warrants and restated our previously issued financial statements, which resulted in unanticipated costs and diversion of management resources and may result in potential loss of investor confidence. Although we have now completed the restatement, we cannot guarantee that we will have no further inquiries from the SEC or Nasdaq regarding our restated financial statements or matters relating thereto.August 16, 2022.

Any future inquiries from the SEC or Nasdaq as a result of the restatement of our historical financial statements will, regardless of the outcome, likely consume a significant amount of our resources in addition to those resources already consumed in connection with the restatement itself.

 


Certain of our warrants are accounted for as a warrant liability and are recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period to be reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Following the restatement of our historical financial statements, we account for our warrants as a warrant liability and recorded at fair value upon issuance any changes in fair value each period reported in earnings as determined by the Company based upon a valuation report obtained from its independent third party valuation firm. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.Proceeds

 

On January 11, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $172,500,000.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 5,200,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $5,200,000. Each whole Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $172,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account.
