Description of Organization and Business Operations | Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations Everest Consolidator Acquisition Corporation (“SPAC” or the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on March 8, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 8, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, activities necessary to prepare for the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or the “IPO”), and the activities necessary to identify a target company and prepare for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. On November 29, 2021 (the “IPO Date”), the Company consummated the IPO through the issuance of 17,250,000 Units, including 2,250,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Units”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $172,500,000, which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 6,333,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (the “Private Placement”), to Everest Consolidator Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9,500,000, which is described in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $10,431,114, including $6,037,500 in deferred underwriting fees, $3,450,000 in upfront underwriting fees, and $943,614 in other offering costs related to the Initial Public Offering. As of the IPO date, a total of $175,950,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement, which includes the $6,037,500 deferred underwriting commission, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) at Bank of America maintained by Equiniti Trust, LLC (f/k/a American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC), acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes and expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account, the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement held in the Trust Account will not be released until the earliest of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Class A common stock shares, $0.0001 par value, included in the Units (the “Public Shares”) sold in the Initial Public Offering that have been properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of such Public Shares if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination within up to 33 month period (the “Combination Period”) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Class A common stock shares included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders. See the below sections titled “Extensions of the Period to Complete the Initial Business Combination,” “2023 Special Meeting of Stockholders” and “2024 Special Meeting of Stockholders” The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account, as applicable) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less income and franchise taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under applicable stock exchange rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less income and franchise taxes payable. As a result, such Class A common stock shares were recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 33 months (pursuant to the 2023 and 2024 Charter Amendment Proposals discussed below) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 and not previously released to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholder’s rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, 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. The Sponsor and the Company’s independent director nominees will not be entitled to rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires Class A common stock shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of shares, if any, having preference over the Class A common stock. The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock, except that the Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein. Extensions of the Period to Complete the Initial Business Combination On February 28, 2023, the Company extended the period it has to consummate an initial Business Combination by a period of three months, or until May 28, 2023 (the “Initial Extension”). In connection with the Initial Extension, the Company’s Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $1,725,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, representing $0.10 per public share, in exchange for the Company’s issuance to the Sponsor of 1,150,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a rate of $1.50 per private placement warrant, with the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. On May 26, 2023, the Company further extended the period it has to consummate an initial business combination by a period of three months, or until August 28, 2023 (the “Second Extension”).

The Company’s stockholders were not entitled to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with the Initial Extension or the Second Extension. In connection with the Initial Extension and the Second Extension described above, the Sponsor entered into promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $3,450,000 ($1,725,000 for each Conditional Guarantees In connection with the Initial Extension and the Second Extension described above, the Company also entered into a Conditional Guaranty Agreement in favor of the Noteholder in respect of each Extension Note. Pursuant to each Conditional Guaranty Agreement, the Company has agreed, subject to the Company’s consummation of an Initial Business Combination prior to the Termination Date (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation), to guarantee the payment by the Sponsor to the Noteholder when due of all principal and accrued interest owed to the Noteholder under the Extension Notes. The Company’s obligations under each Conditional Guaranty Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the payment in full or discharge and termination of the applicable Extension Note, (ii) the failure to consummate an initial business combination prior to the Termination Date or (iii) immediately prior to the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. 2023 Special Meeting of Stockholders On August 24, 2023, the Company convened a special meeting of stockholders (the “2023 Special Meeting”) at which our stockholders approved, among other items, (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to provide the board of directors with the right to extend (the “Monthly Extensions”) the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”) up to an additional six (6) times for one one such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “2023 Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal” and together with the 2023 Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, the “2023 Charter Amendment Proposals”).
