Related Party Transactions | 4. Related Party Transactions Founder Shares In June 2017 prior to the Public Offering, the Sponsor entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, for the purchase of 14,375,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. The Sponsor is a portfolio company of CSL Capital Management, L.P., an energy services-focused private equity fund. Following the redemption of the Public Shares, the conversion of the Public Warrants and the forfeiture of the Private Placement Warrants noted above, the only securities of the Company outstanding were the Founder Shares. The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock that were included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that (1) holders of the Founder Shares have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to an initial business combination, (2) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (3) holders of the Founder Shares entered into letter agreements with the Company pursuant to which they agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with the completion of an initial business combination, (4) the Founder Shares will automatically convert on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A common stock at the time of an initial business combination and (5) the Founder Shares are subject to registration rights, as described below. In August 2017, the Sponsor surrendered 5,750,000 shares of its Class B common stock for no consideration to adjust its holdings to an expected 20% of the Company’s combined outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common following the Public Offering, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. In October 2017 and April 2018, the Sponsor transferred 37,500 Founder Shares to Marc Zenner and Jon A. Marshall, respectively, both of whom were independent directors of the Company at the time, at the original purchase price. Each of the Sponsor and Messrs. Zenner and Marshall subsequently agreed to forfeit 90% of their Founder Shares when the Company was unable to consummate a business combination prior to the deadline in its Charter, resulting in the Sponsor currently holding 855,000 Founder Shares and each of Messrs. Zenner and Marshall owning 3,750 Founder Shares. As a result, the total number of Founder Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021 is 862,500. Transfer Restrictions The terms applicable to the Founder Shares provide that, subject to limited exceptions, the Sponsor may not transfer, assign or sell any of the same until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial business combination or (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. The Sponsor transferred the portion of its Founder Shares noted above to Messrs. Zenner and Marshall in accordance with those terms or pursuant to a waiver thereof. Registration Rights The holders of Founder Shares that may be issued equity securities of the Company upon conversion of working capital loans may be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement, by and between the Company, the Sponsor and Mr. Zenner. The registration rights include certain demand and “piggyback” rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
