PROXY STATEMENT FOR

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF

OMNILIT ACQUISITION CORP.

PROSPECTUS FOR

68,513,687 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF OMNILIT ACQUISITION CORP., WHICH WILL BE RENAMED “SYNTEC OPTICS HOLDINGS, INC.”

IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN

The board of directors (the “Board”) of OmniLit Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“OmniLit”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”), and the special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) have unanimously approved the transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 9, 2023, (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Optics Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of OmniLit (“Merger Sub”), and Syntec Optics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Syntec Optics”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, “Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc.” (“New Syntec Optics”) refers to OmniLit after giving effect to the Business Combination. As described in this proxy statement/ prospectus, OmniLit’s stockholders are being asked to consider a vote upon the Business Combination, among other items.

Since the Company’s IPO on November 12, 2021, opticsoptics- and photonics focusedphotonics-focused OmniLit issued one Indication of Interest (“IOI”), issued and pursued seven Letters of Intent, signed two Letters of Intent for a potential merger, and signed and entered into one Business Combination Agreement with Syntec Optics. Unlike the seven previously considered merger candidates, a business combination with Syntec Optics was not conditioned on any cash at close, due to (i) Syntec Optics beinghaving positive aggregate cash flow positive for over two decades, (ii) Syntec Optics stockholders having previously invested capital in resources that are now available for organic growth, and (iii) there being no cash at close distribution requirement (for the avoidance of doubt, meaning no cash distribution to Syntec Optics stockholders) at Closing to Syntec Optics stockholders (the “Closing”).

Syntec Optics was formed more than two decades ago from the aggregation of three advanced manufacturing companies (Wordingham Machine Co., Inc., Rochester Tool and Mold, Inc. and Syntec Technologies, Inc.) that were started in the 1980s. In 2000, Syntec Technologies, Inc created the “doing business as” name of Syntec Optics and the aforementioned three companies operated under common control. Rochester Tool and Mold, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Syntec Technologies, Inc. in 2000. In 2018 Wordingham Machine Co. Inc became a wholly owned subsidiary. The three companies legally merged in December 2022 as Syntec Optics, Inc. Syntec Optics’ mission is to provide a U.S.-based scalable unifying platform of optics and photonics manufacturing that keeps American soldiers from harm’s way, offers doctors technology tools for patient care, and delivers photonics-enabled consumer precision. The

We believe the consistency of revenues over the past decade of operations, independent of the trends of the general economy, and horizontal integration, and it participates mostly in mission critical applicationsthe mission-critical nature of our product offerings, are our bases that have long product cycles. Syntec Optics plans to enter new end-markets in an effort to further consolidate a fragmented industry and add to its current U.S.-based process of making thin-film coated glass, crystal, or polymer components and their housings, whichthese markets are ultimately assembled into high performance hybrid electro-optics sub-systems.acyclical. Syntec Optics offers low cost and low weight in head mounted equipment for US defense. Reduction of weight is very important for the well-being of soldiers. Syntec Optics’ added biocompatibility is critical for biomedical applications, and its overall precision plays a role in consumer safety and efficiency. Syntec Optics has created a competitive advantage through advanced manufacturing and vertical and horizontal integration, and it participates mostly in mission critical applications that have long product cycles. Syntec Optics plans to further consolidate the fragmented photonics industry by expanding our portfolio of our existing, U.S.-based, advanced manufacturing processes of making thin-film coated glass, crystal, or polymer components and their housings, which are ultimately assembled into high-performance hybrid electro-optics sub-systems. By doing so, Syntec Optics plans to grow to the new end markets of communications and sensing. The anticipated timeline of entering the communications end market is 2023, as Syntec Optics has been prototyping products during Q1 and Q2 and anticipates entering the production phase by the latter half of the year. Syntec Optics is currently engaged as a supplier for a U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) funded research and development project for the sensing end market.

In connection with the Business Combination, outstanding units, shares and warrants of OmniLit will be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into shares and warrants of New Syntec Optics that are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbols “OPTX” and “OPTXW,” in each case in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The consummation of the Business Combination is contingent upon approval from Nasdaq of the listing of the common stock and warrants, and these conditions are not waivable.

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all shares of Syntec Optics common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive shares of New Syntec Optics common stock. Based on Syntec Optics’ outstanding shares as of December 31, 2022, at Closing, approximately 31,600,000 Class A shares of the Aggregate Merger Consideration will be issued to holders of outstanding Syntec Optics common stock.

This proxy statement/prospectus relates to the registration of 68,513,687 shares of New Syntec Optics common stock which includes (i) 37,739,716 shares of New Syntec Optics common stock, (ii) 2,000,000 shares of New Syntec Optics common stock which may be issued as Performance-based Earnout RSU Shares (as defined below) or incentive equity grants for the management team of New Syntec Optics, (iii) 26,000,000 shares for New Syntec Optics common stock which may be issued as Contingent Earnout RSU Shares (as defined below) for stockholders of Syntec Optics (together with the Earnout RSU Shares, the “Earnout Shares”), in each case, as further described in the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal”, and (iv) 2,773,971 shares of New Syntec Optics common stock which may be issued as Incentive Plan Shares (as defined below), in each case, as further described in the section entitled “Proposal No. 4 — The Incentive Plan Proposal.”

In the first three years following the Business Combination, the management team of New Syntec Optics, will have the right to receive, subject to achieving specified milestones, up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 additional shares of New Syntec Optics common stock, which are to be issued as restricted stock units or incentive equity grants. These performance-based earnout shares and Earnout RSUs would be received, or vest based on achieving the following performance thresholds following the Closing: one-half upon achieving performance targets based on 2024 audited financial statements, and the other one-half upon achieving performance targets based on the 2025 audited financial statement (such shares, together, the “Performance-based Earnout Shares”). The Sponsor and its affiliates are not eligible to receive Performance-based Earnout Shares. In addition, Stockholders of Syntec Optics will have the right to receive, subject to achieving specified milestones, up to an aggregate of 26,000,000 additional shares of New Syntec Optics Common Stock contingent upon achieving certain stock trading price thresholds within five years of closing (such shares, together, the “Contingent Earnout Shares”). An affiliate of the Sponsor, Mr. Kapoor, is the majority stockholder of Syntec Optics, and is eligible to receive up to 23,114,000 Contingent Earnout Shares, with an implied estimated value $158.8 million.

When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the OmniLit Board, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and OmniLit’s directors and executive officers have interests in the business combination that are different from, or in addition to, OmniLit stockholders, including that Al Kapoor, OmniLit’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is the Chairman and majority stockholder of Syntec Optics. An affiliate of the Sponsor, Mr. Kapoor, has an 88.9% ownership percentage of Syntec Optics worth an approximate interest of $280.9 million. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information. As of December 31, 2022, a total of 4,791,667 shares of OmniLit’s common stock are owned by the Sponsor, OmniLit’s directors and executive officers, and signees of Non-Redemption Agreements in connection with the special meeting held on December 21, 2022 (“2022 Special Meeting”). The Non-Redemption Agreements in connection to the 2022 Special Meeting do not prevent the signees from redeeming their Class A shares in connection with the Business Combination.

It is anticipated that upon completion of the Business Combination, and assuming no redemptions by OmniLit public stockholders, OmniLit’s public stockholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 4% of New Syntec Optics, the Sponsor, officers, directors and other affiliates will own approximately 12% of New Syntec Optics, and the Syntec Optics stockholders will own approximately 91%84% (excluding the 26,000,000 Contingent Earnout Shares) of New Syntec Optics. These levels of ownership interest: (a) exclude the impact of the redemption of OmniLit public shares on the funds in OmniLit’s trust account, (b) assume that no shares are issued pursuant to the New Syntec Optics 2023 Incentive Plan and (c) assume no exercise of OmniLit public warrants and OmniLit private placement warrants.

Upon the consummation of the business combination, New Syntec Optics will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules because it is expected that Mr. Kapoor will beneficially own more than 50% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding New Syntec Optics Class A Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. Under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, New Syntec may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance rules, including the requirements (1) that a majority of the New Syntec’s board of directors must consist of independent directors, (2) that New Syntec’s director nominees must be selected or recommended to the board of directors solely by independent directors or by a nominations committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors and (3) that the New Syntec Board must have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors.

The Sponsor and its affiliates have provided the entirety of the at-risk capital, which as of June 30, 2023, was approximately $6.2 million. The Sponsor and its affiliates currently hold 4,791,667 Founder Shares, with an estimated implied value of $47.9 million at $10.00 per share, 6,201,750 private warrants, with an estimated implied value of $0.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Sponsor and its affiliates have a loan extended to OmniLit in the amount of $694,941. There are no other fees due, nor out-of-pocket expenses for which the Sponsor and its affiliates are awaiting reimbursement. 

OmniLit’s units, common stock and public warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbols “OLITU,” “OLIT” and “OLITW,” respectively. On January 24, 2022, each of OmniLit’s units were able to be separated into its components consisting of one share of OmniLit common stock and one-half of one public warrant to purchase one share of OmniLit common stock.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides stockholders of OmniLit with detailed information about the proposed business combination and other matters to be considered at the annual meeting of OmniLit. We encourage you to read this entire document, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, when you consider the recommendation regarding the proposals by the OmniLit Board of Directors, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and OmniLit’s directors and executive officers have interests in the business combinationBusiness Combination that are different from, or in addition to, OmniLit stockholders. For instance, the Sponsor and OmniLit’s officers and directors will benefit from the completion of the business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders rather than liquidating OmniLit. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4241 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

When you consider the OmniLit Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of OmniLit stockholders generally, including that Al Kapoor, OmniLit’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is the Chairman and majority stockholder of Syntec Optics. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information. The OmniLit Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and in recommending to the OmniLit stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the annual meeting.

As of December 31, 2022, a total of 4,791,667 shares of OmniLit’s common stock are owned by the Sponsor, OmniLit’s directors and executive officers, and signees of Non-Redemption Agreements in connection with the special meeting held on December 21, 2022 (“2022 Special Meeting”). The Non-Redemption Agreements in connection to the 2022 Special Meeting do not prevent the signees from redeeming their Class A shares in connection with the Business Combination.

Consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Director Election Proposal. If any of those proposals are not approved, we will not consummate the Business Combination.

All OmniLit stockholders are cordially invited to virtually attend the annual meeting and we are providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

The consummation of the Business Combination is contingent upon approval from Nasdaq of the listing of the common stock and warrants, and these conditions are not waivable. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that OmniLit receive confirmation from Nasdaq that New Syntec Optics has been conditionally approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met or that OmniLit will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq.

(4) Proposal No. 4 — To consider and vote on a proposal to approve and adopt, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Approval are approved, for purposes of complying with the applicable Nasdaq rules, the New Syntec Optics 2023 Incentive Plan (the “2023 Incentive Plan”) — we refer to this proposal as the “Incentive Plan Proposal.” A copy of the 2023 Incentive Plan is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex F;

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of OmniLit common stock at the close of business on [●], 2023 are entitled to notice of the annual meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the annual meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

After careful consideration, the OmniLit Board and the Special Committee have determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of OmniLit and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. When you consider the OmniLit Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of OmniLit stockholders generally, including that Al Kapoor, OmniLit’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is the Chairman and majority stockholder of Syntec Optics. Please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information. The OmniLit Board and the Special Committee were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and in recommending to the OmniLit stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the annual meeting.

Consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Director Election Proposal. If any of those proposals are not approved, we will not consummate the Business Combination.

At the Effective Time, each OmniLit Class A Share that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than treasury shares) will be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into one New Syntec Optics Common Share and each warrant to purchase OmniLit Class A Shares (the “OmniLit Warrants”) that are outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be converted automatically into the right to acquire New Syntec Optics Common Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2021, by and between OmniLit and the Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

As of December 31, 2022, there was approximately $14 million in the Trust Account, which OmniLit intends to use for the purposes of consummating the Business Combination and to pay $500,000 in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriters of OmniLit’s initial public offering. Each redemption of OmniLit Class A Shares by its public stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. OmniLit will not consummate the Business Combination if the redemption of OmniLit Class A Shares would result in OmniLit’s failure to have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) (or any successor rule) immediately prior to or upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

All OmniLit stockholders are cordially invited to virtually attend the annual meeting and we are providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof). To ensure your representation at the annual meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the annual meeting and vote, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank.

OmniLit’s units, common stock and public warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbols “OLITU,” “OLIT” and “OLITW,” respectively. OmniLit will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of New Syntec Optics common stock and public warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “OPTX” and “OPTXW,” respectively. The consummation of the Business Combination is contingent upon approval from Nasdaq of the listing of the common stock and warrants, and these conditions are not waivable. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that OmniLit receive confirmation from Nasdaq that New Syntec Optics has been conditionally approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met or that OmniLit will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq. If such listing condition is not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.

Pursuant to OmniLit’s current certificate of incorporation, a holder of public shares may demand that OmniLit redeem such shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of public shares will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if they demand that OmniLit redeem their shares for cash no later than the second business day prior to the originally scheduled vote on the Business Combination Proposal by delivering their stock to OmniLit’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the meeting. If the Business Combination is not completed, these shares will not be redeemed. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify himself, herself or itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide his, her or its legal name, phone number and address to OmniLit’s transfer agent in order to validly redeem his, her or its shares. If a holder of public shares properly demands redemption and votes for or against the Business Combination Proposal, OmniLit will redeem each public share for a full pro rata portion of the trust account (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the business combination.

Upon the consummation of the business combination, New Syntec Optics will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules because it is expected that Mr. Kapoor will beneficially own more than 50% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding New Syntec Optics Class A Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. Under the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, New Syntec may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance rules, including the requirements (1) that a majority of the New Syntec’s board of directors must consist of independent directors, (2) New Syntec’s director nominees must be selected or recommended to the board of directors solely by independent directors or by a nominations committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors and (3) that the New Syntec Board must have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors.

All OmniLit stockholders are cordially invited to virtually attend the annual meeting and we are providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof). To ensure your representation at the annual meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the annual meeting and vote, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank.

Whether you plan to attend the annual meeting or not, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

On May 20, 2021, our sponsor purchased 4,312,500 founder shares. On September 27, 2021, our sponsor forfeited 718,750 shares for no consideration. On November 1, 2021, we effected a 1 1/3-to-1 forward stock split on our founder shares and as a result our sponsor owns 4,791,667 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.005 per share. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 25% of the outstanding shares upon completion of our IPO. The founder shares (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exchange thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned, or sold by the holder until 12 months after the completion of our initial business combination. Such securities were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On November 12, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 14,375,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock of the Company and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50. The closing included the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $143,750,000. Imperial Capital LLC. acted as the sole book running manager and I-Bankers Securities as the co-managerwere Joint Book-Running Managers of the offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-260090). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on November 8, 2021.

On November 12, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO, we sold to our sponsor, Imperial Capital, LLC, and I-Bankers Securities in a private placement an aggregate of 6,920,500 private warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $6,920,500. The private warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in our IPO, except that they: (i) may not (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned, or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination; and (ii) will be entitled to registration rights. The private warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such securities.

A total of $146,625,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in our IPO and the private warrants in the private placement on November 12, 2021, was placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, which we refer to as the trust account. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to us to pay our franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of: (a) the completion of our initial business combination; (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our certificate of incorporation: (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our IPO (as approved at the 2022 Special Meeting); or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity; and (c) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our IPO (as approved at the 2022 Special Meeting), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders. We incurred $8,333,135 in transaction costs, including $2,875,000 of underwriting fees, $5,031,250 of deferred underwriting fees and $426,884 of other offering costs. Imperial Capital reduced the deferred fee upon in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, $500,000, on November 21, 2022.

At the 2022 Special Meeting, anthe Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal were approved, and as a result, we did not have to rely on an Extension Election, but had the right to extend the Combination Period for an additional nine (9) months or such earlier date as determined by the Board, from February 12, 2023 to November 12, 2023. The purpose of the Extension was to provide the Company more time to complete a Business Combination, which the Board believed was in the best interests of our stockholders. With the Extension Proposal approved, neither the Sponsor nor the Company were required to deposit additional funds into the trust account in connection with the Extension.

In connection with the Extension Proposal, stockholders who owned shares of our common stock issued in our IPO (we refer to such stockholders as “public stockholders” and such shares as “public shares”) elected to redeem all or a portion of their public shares. Stockholders who elected to redeem, the redemption for a per-share price, payable in cash, was equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), including interest (which interest was net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Therefore, as of December 21, 2022, there were 1,348,049 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding.

There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the IPO as is described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) (File No. 333-260090).

As of December 31, 2022, there was approximately $14,011,070 held in the trust account.
