| 1. As described in the issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-250157), as amended (the "Registration Statement") under the heading "Description of Securities--Founder Shares," the shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, will automatically be converted into shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at the time of the issuer's initial business combination, on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments described therein and have no expiration date. |
| 2. These shares represent Class B common stock held by Adara Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor") acquired pursuant to a subscription agreement by and between the Sponsor and the issuer. The Class B common stock owned by the Sponsor includes up to 375,000 shares that are subject to forfeiture in the event the underwriters of the issuer's initial public offering do not exercise in full their over-allotment option as described in the issuer's Registration Statement. |
| 3. As the managing member of the Sponsor, the reporting person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares of Class B common stock held directly by the Sponsor and disclaims beneficial ownership over any securities in which he does not have a pecuniary interest. |
