Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on March 9, 2021, an amount of $258,750,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), and will bewas invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NYSEThe New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) 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 taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of 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 provide itsthe holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00($10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

 

The


If the Company seeks stockholder approval, 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 shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. The Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Private Placement Shares respectively (as defined in Note 4), Representative Shares (as defined in Note 8)7) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination and not to convert any shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination or sell any shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.

 

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

 

The Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Representative Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination 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 combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. 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.

 

The Company will have until March 9, 2023 or any extended period of time that the Company may have to consummate a Business Combination as a result of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). 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.

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 the Company’s 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.

 


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 and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, theythe financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

WeAs of June 30, 2022 the Company had cash $799,662 and a working capital deficit of $1,282,210. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from ourits initial stockholders, officers or directors. If we arethe Company is unable to raise additional capital, wethe Company may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. WeThe Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to usthe Company on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about ourthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year and one day from the issuance of this report.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to our Public Offering and were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of our Public Offering.

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, 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 outa termination date 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,less than one year from 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 comparisonissuance of the Company’s financial statement 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.this report.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

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 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

 

At June 30, 2021,2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities.

Warrant Liability


 

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”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“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, 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 statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated using a Binomial Lattice Model (see Note 9).

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”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of 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 common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A 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 balance sheet.

Income Taxes

 

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,”Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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 is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Our effective tax rate was negative 4.5% and 0.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and negative 4.5% and 0.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability and the valuation allowance recorded on the Company’sdeferred tax assets.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC Topic 260”). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net operating losses.income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject to forfeiture.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) 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 proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.

Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 5,313,500 shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

Non-redeemable common stock includes Founder Shares and non-redeemable shares of common stock as these shares do not have any redemption features. Non-redeemable common stock participates in the income or loss on marketable securities based on non-redeemable shares’ proportionate interest.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss)loss per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

NOTE 9.8. 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 our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Private Placement Warrants were initially valued using a Binomial Lattice Model, 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 Private Placement Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the IPO date was derived from observable public 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 warrant pricing. A Binomial Lattice Model was used in estimating the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available.

 

The key inputs into the Binomial Lattice Model for the initial measurement of the Private Placement Warrants, and the subsequent measurement of the Private PlacePlacement Warrants, are as follows:

On March 9, 2021, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Private Placement Warrants were determined to be valued at $0.79, $0.73$0.41 and $1.19$1.75 per warrant, respectively.

Business Combination

Merger Agreement

On August 18, 2021, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Merger Sub, Merger Sub II and Aspiration (as amended and restated, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Aspiration with Aspiration surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and, immediately following and as part of the same overall transaction, the surviving corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger”) with Merger Sub II surviving such merger. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to as the “Business Combination.” In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we will be renamed “Aspiration, Inc.” The combined company following the consummation of the Business Combination is referred to herein as “New Aspiration.” The Business Combination has been approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II and Aspiration.


On December 15, 2021, the Company, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II and Aspiration amended and restated the Merger Agreement in connection with the entry and execution of the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein). On July 18, 2022, the Company, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II and Aspiration amended the Merger Agreement to extend the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from July 19, 2022 to July 22, 2022. On July 21, 2022 (the “Second Amendment Date”), the Company, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II and Aspiration further amended and restated the Merger Agreement to effect, among other things, (i) an extension of the Outside Date from July 22, 2022 to December 31, 2022, (ii) a change to the procedures for the reservation and release of Additional Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iii) the clarification of the treatment of certain warrants to be issued immediately following the closing, (iv) the inclusion of additional covenants with respect to the preparation and delivery of financial statements by Aspiration, (v) the modification of certain non-solicitation provisions, (vi) an extension payment by Aspiration to the Company of $10,000,000, payable in two equal installments on the Second Amendment Date and the 45th day following the Second Amendment Date, (vii) the addition of certain additional termination rights for the each of the Company and Aspiration and related termination fees and (viii) mutual releases of certain matters arising prior to the Second Amendment Date.

Under the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Aspiration in exchange for a number of shares of Class A common stock (valued for this purpose at $10.00 per share) equal to (subject to certain adjustments as described therein) (i) $1,750,000,000 plus (ii) the Equity Financing Proceeds (as provided in the Merger Agreement) minus (iii) the number of shares of Class A common stock to underlie the warrant to be issued immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination pursuant to the Series X Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated December 15, 2021, by and among the Company, Aspiration and OCM Aspiration Holdings, LLC (prongs (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Aggregate Consideration”), $200,000,000 of such Aggregate Consideration (represented by 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock) which will initially be held back in connection with private placements entered into with certain accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) to close concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Investment”) and up to $77,828,400 of which (represented by 7,782,840 shares of Class A common stock) will be initially held back for the benefit of the holders of Aspiration’s convertible senior notes (such shares to be held back, the “Additional Shares”). The shares of Class A common stock to be held back at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”) will be released to the Company to the extent the Company is obligated to issue Additional Shares to the PIPE Investors that are participating in the PIPE Investment or the convertible note holders, as applicable, and, otherwise, to the holders of capital stock of Aspiration as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each Aspiration stockholder (other than (i) holders of Aspiration Series C-4 preferred stock, (ii) Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock, (iii) Aspiration common stock issued upon conversion of certain convertible senior notes and (iv) Aspiration common stock that is subject to forfeiture under earnout arrangements entered into strategic transactions irrespective of the Business Combination) and each holder of a vested Aspiration option (as defined below) shall also receive a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of New Aspiration (the “Contingent Consideration”). The Contingent Consideration may be earned in five equal tranches of 20,000,000 shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock (a) when the closing price of New Aspiration Class A common stock equals or exceeds (i) $12.50 per share prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Time, (ii) $15.00 per share prior to the 36-month anniversary of the Effective Time, (iii) $17.50 per share prior to the 36-month anniversary of the Effective Time, (iv) $20.00 per share prior to the 48-month anniversary of the Effective Time and (v) $25.00 per share prior to the 60-month anniversary of the Effective Time, in each case, as measured over any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period prior to the end of the relevant time period applicable to each such earn out tranche or (b) when New Aspiration consummates a change of control transaction that entitles its stockholders to receive a per share consideration of at least $12.50, $15.00, $17.50, $20.00 and $25.00, as applicable. Any right to Contingent Consideration that remains unvested on the first business day after five years from Effective Time will be forfeited without any further consideration.


Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the consideration to be issued to the holders of Aspiration capital stock (other than holders of Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock) will be in the form of Class A common stock of New Aspiration (valued at $10.00 per share). Additionally, each option to purchase shares of Aspiration common stock (an “Aspiration option”) that is outstanding and unexercised, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be assumed by New Aspiration and converted into an option to acquire shares of Class A common stock of New Aspiration with the same terms and conditions as applied to such Aspiration option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the number of shares underlying such New Aspiration option will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Aspiration common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the ratio determined by dividing the per share merger consideration value by $10.00 (the quotient being the “option exchange ratio”), which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, and the per share exercise price of such New Aspiration option will be determined by dividing the per share exercise price immediately prior to the Effective Time by the option exchange ratio, which quotient shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (a) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of Aspiration common stock that is issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time will be either (i) exercised or terminated in accordance with its terms or (ii) assumed by New Aspiration and converted into a warrant of New Aspiration to purchase shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock and prior to the Effective Time, each convertible note of Aspiration will be converted into Aspiration capital stock, paid off in accordance with the terms thereof or remain outstanding as indebtedness of New Aspiration without the right to convert into capital stock of New Aspiration. If any indebtedness of Aspiration (including with respect to convertible notes of Aspiration that remain outstanding) is not paid off at the Closing, it will be assumed by New Aspiration.

The parties to the Merger Agreement have made customary representations and warranties and have agreed to certain customary covenants for a transaction of this type. The Closing is subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to the adoption by our stockholders and Aspiration’s stockholders of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement may also be terminated by either party under certain circumstances, including if the Business Combination has not occurred by the Outside Date (or such later date as the parties may mutually agree).

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into subscription agreements with the Base PIPE Investors (the “Base Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to issue and sell, immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock (the “PIPE Committed Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate consideration of $200,000,000, and we entered into subscription agreements (the “Subsequent Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Subsequent PIPE Investors” and, together with the Base PIPE Investors, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to issue and sell, immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 1,363,636 shares of our Class A common stock at a purchase price of $11.00 per share for an aggregate consideration of $15,000,000. We refer to the Base Subscription Agreements and the Subsequent Subscription Agreements collectively as the “Subscription Agreements.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Base Subscription Agreements and the Conversion Stockholder Side Letters (as defined below), if during the last 10 trading days of the 60-day period following the effectiveness of the re-sale registration statement that New Aspiration has agreed to file with the SEC pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “Adjustment Period”), the volume weighted average price of one share of New Aspiration Class A common stock (as reported on the New York Stock Exchange) (the “Adjustment Period VWAP”) is less than $10.00 per share, each Base PIPE Investor and former Conversion Stockholder, as applicable, will be entitled to receive from New Aspiration, for no additional consideration, a number of additional shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock (the “Additional Shares”) equal to the product of (x) (i) with respect to each Base PIPE Investor, the number of PIPE Committed Shares issued to such Base PIPE Investor at the Closing that such Base PIPE Investor holds through the last day of the Adjustment Period or (ii) with respect to the former Conversion Stockholders, the number of shares of Aspiration capital stock issued upon conversion of such former Conversion Stockholder’s Convertible Notes (“Conversion Stock”) and any Convertible Notes which such former Conversion Stockholder continues to hold through the last day of the Adjustment Period, in each case, multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP; provided that, with respect to the Base PIPE Investors, in no event shall the number of Additional Shares exceed the lesser of (i) the number of PIPE Committed Shares and (ii) such Base PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 20,000,000 shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock; provided further that, with respect to the former Conversion Stockholders, in no event shall the number of Additional Shares issuable in respect of Conversion Stock exceed 7,782,840 shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock. If the Additional Shares are issued to the Base PIPE Investors and the former Conversion Stockholders, as applicable, there will be a corresponding adjustment to the portion of the aggregate consideration held in escrow to be released to the prior holders of Aspiration common stock (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the prior holders of Aspiration Series X preferred stock and the Conversion Stockholders) as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time such that the number of issued and outstanding shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock will not change.


Conversion Stockholder Side Letters

On December 15, 2021, we and each of the Conversion Stockholders entered into amendments to certain side letter agreements (the “Conversion Stockholder Side Letters”), pursuant to which, among other things, in the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $10.00 per share of New Aspiration Class A common stock, each former Conversion Stockholder will be entitled to receive from New Aspiration, for no additional consideration, a number of shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock issued to such Conversion Stockholder at the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Conversion Stockholder Committed Shares”) that such former Conversion Stockholder holds through the Adjustment Period (as defined below), multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP, and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP (such additional shares, the “Conversion Stockholder Additional Shares”); provided that in no event shall the number of Conversion Stockholder Additional Shares exceed the product of 1.00 multiplied by the number of Conversion Stockholder Committed Shares of which such former Conversion Stockholder continues to be the record and beneficial owner through the Adjustment Period or 7,782,840 shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock in the aggregate.

Pursuant to the Conversion Stockholder Side Letters, in the event that the former Conversion Stockholders are issued Conversion Stockholder Additional Shares, each former Conversion Stockholder will have the same registration rights with respect to the Conversion Stockholder Additional Shares as the PIPE Investors have with respect to the resale of the Additional Shares. If a former Conversion Stockholder, in good faith and on the advice of its counsel, determines that it is an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of either us or New Aspiration either at the Closing or at the time the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are submitted for a vote or consent, such former Conversion Stockholder will have the same registration rights with respect to the Conversion Stockholder Committed Shares as the PIPE Investors have with respect to the PIPE Committed Shares (as described above).

Furthermore, we and the PIPE Investors may not amend an existing Subscription Agreement or enter into Subsequent Subscription Agreements which provide for materially different rights, benefits and obligations with respect to the PIPE Investor party thereto without first amending the Conversion Stockholder Side Letters to ensure that the rights, benefits and obligations of the former Conversion Stockholders are consistent with those of the PIPE Investors.

A Base PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder will automatically forfeit any right to receive any Additional Shares if (i) at any time from the Closing through the Adjustment Period, such Base PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder is not the record and beneficial owner of the PIPE Committed Shares or Conversion Stockholder Committed Shares, as applicable, or such Base PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder otherwise transfers its PIPE Committed Shares or Conversion Stockholder Committed Shares, as applicable, from New Aspiration’s transfer agent’s custody to a brokerage or other account not controlled by New Aspiration’s transfer agent on behalf of such Base PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder or (ii) at any time prior to the last day of the Adjustment Period, such Base PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder or any person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with such Base PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder, as applicable, directly or indirectly, engages in a Hedging Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement).


Aspiration Support Agreement

In connection with and following the execution of the Merger Agreement, we will enter into support agreements with certain Aspiration stockholders (the “Aspiration Support Agreements”), pursuant to which such Aspiration stockholders will agree, among other things, to vote in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination and any of the documents and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Additionally, such Aspiration stockholders agreed to not transfer any securities of Aspiration held by such stockholder from the date of execution of the Aspiration Support Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, subject to certain exceptions and to not solicit any Company Business Combination (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Aspiration Support Agreements.

Sponsor Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with us and Aspiration, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to vote to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and all other documents and transactions contemplated thereby, to vote against any Business Combination proposal other than the Business Combination or other proposals that would impede or frustrate the Business Combination, to comply with the Merger Agreement’s prohibition on soliciting any alternative Business Combination and to not transfer the equity interests in us that it owns, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Support Agreement.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, New Aspiration, the Sponsor and certain stockholders of New Aspiration will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties thereto will be granted certain customary registration rights with respect to shares of common stock of New Aspiration.

Stockholders’ Agreement

At the Closing, New Aspiration, Andrei Cherny, Joseph Sanberg and certain of their respective controlled affiliates will enter into a Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) to provide for certain governance rights and address certain governance matters relating to New Aspiration. The Stockholders’ Agreement will provide each of Mr. Cherny and Mr. Sanberg the right to nominate one individual to the New Aspiration board of directors, subject to certain qualifications, requirements and exceptions as set forth therein.

Transfer Restrictions

The Sponsor and its directors and executive officers are subject to certain restrictions on transfer with respect to their shares of New Aspiration common stock pursuant to that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2021, by and among us, the Sponsor, and the other parties signatory thereto. Such restrictions end on the date that is one year following the Closing, or are subject to an early price-based release with respect to 50% of such shares if the price per share of New Aspiration Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period following the Closing.


Series X Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we and Aspiration entered into a Series X Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with OCM Aspiration Holdings, LLC (“Oaktree”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Aspiration has agreed to issue and sell to Oaktree an aggregate of 27,777,777 shares of a newly designated series of preferred stock designated as Series X Preferred Stock of Aspiration, par value $0.000003 per share (the “Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000,000, which is net of the original issue discount of 10% (the “Series X Financing”), with shares of Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock having the powers, designations, preferences and other rights set forth in the Aspiration Certificate of Designations (as defined below). The closing of the issuance and sale of Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock occurred concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also provides that New Aspiration will grant Oaktree registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).

Certificate of Designations

The shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock to be issued in exchange for shares of Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon their issuance, will have the powers, designations, preferences, and other rights as set forth in a Certificate of Designations of the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock that we will file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on or prior to the Closing Date (the “New Aspiration Certificate of Designations”). The New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock will have, mutatis mutandis, substantially similar powers, designations, preferences, and other rights as set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock that was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Aspiration Certificate of Designations”).

Voting and Consent Rights

The New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights or rights to convert such preferred shares into shares of New Aspiration Class A common stock. Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock will be entitled to elect (i) one director to the board of directors of New Aspiration after the ninth anniversary of the Closing Date and upon a Medium Event (as defined below) and (ii) two directors to the board of directors of New Aspiration upon a Major Event (as defined below). New Aspiration will need to obtain the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock for, among other things: (i) effecting any change of control, liquidation event or merger or consolidation of New Aspiration unless the entirety of the applicable Series X Redemption Price (as defined below) is paid with respect to all then issued and outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock, (ii) amending Aspiration’s organizational documents to the extent such amendment has an adverse effect on the holders of Series X Preferred Stock, (iii) increasing or decreasing the number of authorized shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock, (iv) creating any class or series of New Aspiration capital stock that is pari passu or senior to the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock, (v) incurring indebtedness, except for indebtedness incurred under Aspiration’s existing secured debt facilities, debt incurred that allows New Aspiration to satisfy a total net leverage ratio of 3.0x and debt incurred for the redemption of the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock (subject to limited exceptions), (vi) declaring, paying or making certain dividends and undertaking certain stock repurchases (subject to limited exceptions) and (vii) certain other specified actions.

Dividends

The dividend rate with respect to the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock will be either 8.0% per year in cash or, if not paid in cash, will be paid “in-kind” by accruing at a rate of 8.0%, 11.0% or 12.0% per year for any dividend period ending on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, between the second and third anniversaries of the Closing Date or between the third and fourth anniversaries of the Closing Date, respectively. New Aspiration may elect either form of dividend payment until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, and dividends must be paid in cash thereafter.


Each of the dividend rates set forth above will increase by (i) 5.0% per annum (a) if New Aspiration fails to pay any dividend that is required to be paid in cash if surplus cash is available, (b) if New Aspiration defaults on payment with respect to a Liquidation (as defined below) or redemption, (c) if New Aspiration is in material breach of certain covenants under the New Aspiration Certificate of Designations, subject to certain cure periods, (d) if New Aspiration experiences a bankruptcy or insolvency event, whether voluntary or involuntary, (e) if New Aspiration fails to deliver New Aspiration Class A common stock to a holder of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock upon the valid exercise of the Warrant (the foregoing clauses (a) through (e), a “Major Event”), (f) if New Aspiration fails to pay any dividend that is required to be paid in cash if surplus cash is unavailable, (g) if New Aspiration is in material breach of certain other covenants under the New Aspiration Certificate of Designations, subject to certain cure periods, (h) if New Aspiration defaults on outstanding indebtedness or if outstanding indebtedness is accelerated, in each case, in excess of $50,000,000 or (i) if New Aspiration fails to pay an applicable final judgment in excess of $25,000,000 (the foregoing clauses (f) through (i), a “Medium Event,” and together with a Major Event, an “Event of Noncompliance”), or (ii) 3.0% per annum if New Aspiration is in material breach of certain other covenants under the New Aspiration Certificate of Designations that is not a Major Event or Medium Event, subject to certain cure periods (the dividend rate as increased in each of the foregoing cases, the “Noncompliance Incremental Rate”). In addition, if we do not have at least $200,000,000 of cash at the Closing (excluding proceeds from the issuance of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock), the dividend rates set forth above will increase by 5.0% per annum (exclusive of any Noncompliance Incremental Rate then in effect) and will remain in effect until, after the Closing Date, New Aspiration has $200,000,000 of cash (the dividend rate as increased by this sentence, the “de-SPAC Incremental Rate”). New Aspiration may elect to pay both the Noncompliance Incremental Rate and the de-SPAC Incremental Rate in cash or “in-kind.”

Springing Rights

Upon the occurrence of a Major Event that has continued for 90 days (and upon the occurrence of certain Major Events, and in certain circumstances, 180 days) or upon the occurrence of a Medium Event that has continued for 180 days, subject to certain time extensions, for so long as such Event of Noncompliance is continuing (the period following termination of the foregoing cure periods, the “Liquidity Period”), the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock shall have the right to cause New Aspiration to pursue an issuance of securities, a Liquidation (as defined below), merger, sale of assets or similar transaction or series of transactions, a leveraged recapitalization or any other transaction or series of transactions (each, a “Liquidity Transaction”) generating sufficient proceeds available for distribution to holders of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock to pay the entirety of the Series X Redemption Price (as defined below). During the Liquidity Period, New Aspiration shall direct an independent financial advisor, approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock then outstanding, to establish procedures to effect a Liquidity Transaction in an orderly manner with the objective of achieving the highest available value for New Aspiration within a reasonable period of time and the payment of the entire Series X Redemption Price payable in respect of all outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock. However, if a Liquidity Period has commenced and the Event of Noncompliance is cured, New Aspiration may discontinue and will not be required to pursue a Liquidity Transaction.

Immediately following the commencement of a Liquidity Transaction, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock may take control of and direct the process of a Liquidity Transaction and cause New Aspiration to consummate, subject to any requisite stockholder approvals, any Liquidity Transaction in order to redeem the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock at the Series X Redemption Price.

Furthermore, during a Liquidity Period, unless New Aspiration is able to redeem outstanding New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock at the then applicable Series X Redemption Price as a result, New Aspiration will need to obtain the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock to acquire any business, incur any indebtedness, repurchase capital stock or make distributions (subject to certain exceptions) or fail to redeem outstanding New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock with surplus cash (subject to applicable law and the terms of any indebtedness of New Aspiration).

Ranking and Liquidation Preference

The New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock will rank senior to New Aspiration’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of New Aspiration (a “Liquidation”). Upon a Liquidation, each share of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock would be entitled to the applicable Series X Redemption Price. The liquidation preference of the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock will be equal to $10 per share (the “Series X Liquidation Preference”).


Redemption Rights and Series X Redemption Price

New Aspiration will have the right to redeem all or any portion of the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock at any time by paying the applicable Series X Redemption Price; provided, however, that no optional redemption will be permitted that would result in less than 33% of the shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock that are issued on the Closing Date to remain outstanding following such redemption unless all remaining shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock are redeemed.

Each holder of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock will have the option to require New Aspiration to redeem any portion of the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock at the Series X Redemption Price: (i) at any time after the ninth anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Major Event (following the expiration of the applicable cure period) at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock. New Aspiration will be required to redeem all of the outstanding shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock at the Series X Redemption Price automatically upon the occurrence of a change of control, a Liquidation or an insolvency event.

The following table sets forth the “Series X Redemption Price”:

Timing of RedemptionSeries X Redemption Price
Until 30 months after the Closing Date (the “First Optional Call Date”)Make-Whole Amount (as defined below)
From the First Optional Call Date until the first anniversary of the First Optional Call Date106% of the sum of the Series X Liquidation Preference and accrued but unpaid dividends
From the first anniversary of the First Optional Call Date until 66 months following the First Optional Call Date103% of the sum of the Series X Liquidation Preference and accrued but unpaid dividends
From and after the date 66 months after the First Optional Call Date100% of the sum of the Series X Liquidation Preference and accrued but unpaid dividends

The “Make-Whole Amount” with respect to any redemption of any share of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock prior to the First Optional Call Date is defined in the New Aspiration Certificate of Designations as an amount equal to the sum of (A) the remaining dividends that would accrue on such shares being redeemed from the day immediately following the redemption date to the First Optional Call Date at 8.0% as may be increased by the de-SPAC Incremental Rate or the Noncompliance Incremental Rate, if applicable, plus (B) the Series X Liquidation Preference of such shares being redeemed plus (C) the then current amount of accrued in-kind dividends on such shares being redeemed, assuming that, for purposes of calculating the foregoing, the shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock being redeemed were to remain outstanding through the First Optional Call Date.

Series X Minimum Cash Balance

Pursuant to the New Aspiration Certificate of Designations, New Aspiration will also be required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $50,000,000 at all times so long as the New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock remains outstanding. However, if Aspiration and its subsidiaries have less than $10,000,000 in outstanding indebtedness, the required minimum cash balance is reduced to $30,000,000.

Investor Rights Agreement

We entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Oaktree to be effective upon the Closing Date (the “New Aspiration Investor Rights Agreement”) on substantially similar terms and conditions (while taking into account the consummation of the Business Combination), as those contained in the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below) set forth below, such that New Aspiration, upon the Closing, shall be subject to the New Aspiration Investor Right Agreement.


As a condition to the closing of the Purchase Agreement, Aspiration and Oaktree entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Aspiration granted Oaktree certain customary registration rights with respect to the shares of Aspiration common stock underlying the Warrant and certain other securities that may be issued to Oaktree in respect of the Warrant.

In addition, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as shares of the Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock issued on the Series X Closing Date remain outstanding, Oaktree will have (i) a participation right, subject to certain exceptions, pursuant to which Oaktree may maintain its ownership percentage of Aspiration common stock in connection with future offerings or sales of Aspiration equity securities and (ii) a right of first offer with respect to the provision of any future debt or preferred equity financing to Aspiration or its subsidiaries. The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that, so long as 33% of the Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock issued on the Series X Closing Date remains outstanding, Oaktree will be entitled to appoint one non-voting observer to the board of directors of Aspiration. The Investor Rights Agreement further contains a number of other customary covenants and agreements, including certain standstill provisions, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal with respect to future debt financing transactions and information rights.

The Investor Rights Agreement provides that Oaktree will be restricted from transferring the Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock to parties unaffiliated with Oaktree without the prior written consent of Aspiration for one year following the closing of the issuance of Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock. From and after such date, Oaktree will be restricted from transferring the Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock to parties unaffiliated with Oaktree without the prior written consent of Aspiration, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld by Aspiration (other than in the event of a transfer to certain restricted transferees).

Warrant

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the Closing Date, New Aspiration will issue to Oaktree a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of New Aspiration common stock equal to 6.0% of the total number of shares of New Aspiration capital stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (excluding the shares of New Aspiration Series X Preferred Stock and the Warrant) as of immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On March 9, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,875,000 Units which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,375,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $258,750,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 692,500 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, generating gross proceeds of $6,925,000.

 

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $258,750,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $5,702,651 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $5,175,000 of underwriting fees and $527,651 of other costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, cash used in operating activities was $668,444.$975,768. Net loss of $1,397,731$1,125,105 was affected by the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $(62,330),$181,275, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $23,981$470,875, and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $3,401.$28,963. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $696,326$772,524 of cash for operating activities.

 

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $258,770,580 (including approximately $23,982 of$258,970,699 including interest income of $470,875 and unrealized losslosses of $7,710)$28,963 consisting of money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less.securities. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through June 30, 2021,2022, we have not withdrawn any interest earned$274,039 from the Trust Account.Account related to payments for Delaware franchise taxes.

 

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete ourthe Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete ourthe 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.

 

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had cash of $578,904.$799,662 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from 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 a Business Combination.business combination.

 

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination,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,business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combinationbusiness 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 ourthe Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.Units.

 

We will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from itsour initial stockholders, officers or directors. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through one year and one day from the issuance of this report.

 


 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities whichthat would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021.2022. 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, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees on March 4, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

 

We have entered into an agreement, pursuant to which we will pay the Vice President a total of $10,000 per month for assisting us in negotiating and consummating an initial business combination. Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the agreement will terminate and the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

We engaged EarlyBirdCapital as our advisor in connection with the Business Combination to assist us in holding meetings with our stockholders to discuss the Business Combination and the Aspiration’s attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing our securities in connection with the Business Combination, assist us in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination and assist us with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. On February 14, 2022, the BCMA was amended, and as a result Morgan Stanley is no longer required to perform any services under the BCMA and is not entitled to receive any compensation thereunder. We will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to 1.75% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable).

We have issued to EarlyBirdCapital, and/or its designees, 200,000 representative shares (the “representative shares”) for nominal consideration. The holders of the representative shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without our prior consent until the completion of our initial business combination. In addition, the holders of the representative shares have agreed (i) to waive their conversion rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

The representative shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of the FINRA Manual. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be sold during the offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 or commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering, except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners, provided that all securities so transferred remain subject to the lockup restriction above for the remainder of the time period.

We have granted the holders of these shares and the private placement units registration rights. EarlyBirdCapital may not exercise its demand and “piggy-back” registration rights more than five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8).


Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of condensed 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

 

Warrant LiabilityClassification

 

We account 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”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The Company accountsassessment 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 shares of common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, 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. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, under which the Private Placement Warrants do not meet the criteriawere accounted for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Under ASC 815-40, the Company’s Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock in the manner contemplated by ASC 815-40 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants as liabilities, at their fair value and adjusts the Private PlacementPublic Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statement of operations. The Private Placement Warrants are valued using a binomial lattice model.were accounted for as temporary equity.

 

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

 

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible conversionredemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” CommonASC 480. Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption isare 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 Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2022, the entire amount of Class A 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.sheet.

 

Net Loss Per Share of Common ShareStock

 

We applyThe Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of loss per share of common stock in a manner similar to the two-class method in calculating earningsof loss per share.

Net income (loss)loss per share of common share,stock, basic and diluted, for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account,(i) its allocable share of net of applicable taxes, if any,loss by (ii) the weighted average number of shares of our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding forduring the period.

Net income (loss)loss per share of common share,stock, basic and diluted, for andour non-redeemable Class A common stock is calculated by dividing (i) its allocable share of net loss less income attributable to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, by (ii) the weighted average number of shares of our non-redeemable Class A common stock outstanding during the period.

The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, since the exercise of such warrants into shares of our Class A common stock is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted net loss per common stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock for the periodperiods presented.

Non-redeemable Class A common stock includes the Founder Shares and other shares of Class A common stock that do not have redemption features.

 

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 financial statements.

Not required forWe are a smaller reporting companies.company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time 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 company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (who serves as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controlsAs required by Rules 13a-15 and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our15d-15 under the Exchange Act, reports is recorded, processed, summarized,our Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our Principal Executive, Financial and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conductedAccounting 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 June 30, 2021, as such term is2022. Based upon his evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. BasedAct) were not effective as of June 30, 2022, as previously disclosed on the Annual Report, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the classification of redeemable common stock as components of either permanent or temporary equity, and an adjustment to reflect an accrual as of December 31, 2021. Notwithstanding these identified material weaknesses as of June 30, 2022, management believes that the financial statements included in this evaluation,Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our principal executive officerfinancial position, results of operations and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that duringcash flows for the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by uspresented in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.conformity with GAAP.  

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

DuringIn light of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no changematerial weaknesses described above, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.accordance with GAAP. Management has implemented remediation steps to address the material weaknesses and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. 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.

 

While we took considerable action to remediate the material weaknesses, such remediation has not been fully evidenced. Accordingly, we continue to test our controls implemented in the first quarter to assess whether our controls are operating effectively. While there can be no assurance, we believe our material weaknesses will be remediated during the course of fiscal 2022. 

Other than the changes discussed above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
