FinServ Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”)
is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on November 23, 2020. 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 (“Business Combination”).
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activity through December 31, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”)
which is described below, and, since the closing of the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will
not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating
income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO.
The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 17, 2021 (the “Effective
Date”). On February 22, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 30,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect
to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which included the partial exercise
by the underwriters of the over-allotment option resulting in the purchase of an additional 3,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per
Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common
stock, and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Company consummated the sale of 800,000 placement units (the “Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per
Placement Unit, in a private placement to FinServ Holdings II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating
gross proceeds of $8,000,000, which is discussed in Note 4.
Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $16,792,661,
consisting of $6,000,000 of underwriting discount, $10,500,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $292,661 of other
offering costs. Total transaction costs included $457,600 of expenses associated with the warrant liability.
Following the closing of the IPO on February 22,
2021, $300,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the
Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a
maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries, as determined by the Company, until the earlier
of: (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly
submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s 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 initial Business Combination
or certain amendments to the charter prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial
Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating
to stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company
is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, subject to applicable
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 public stockholders.
The Company will provide its public stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either
(i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender
offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct 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 require the Company to seek stockholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing
requirements. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in
the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.00 per 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.
The Company will have only 24 months from February
22, 2021, the closing of the IPO, to complete an initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the
Company doesn’t 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 taxes (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 board
of directors, liquidate and dissolve, 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, officers and directors have agreed
to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of
the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection
with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify
the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with an initial Business Combination or to
redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period
or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity,
(iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company
fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within
the prescribed time frame, and (iv) vote any founder shares and placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during
or after the Proposed Public Offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the Company’s
initial Business Combination.
The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it
will 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 entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement
or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share
and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if
less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not
apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in
the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of
the underwriters of the Proposed Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations,
nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that
the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would
be able to satisfy those obligations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately
$1.2 million in its operating bank account and money market funds, and working capital of approximately $1.1 million.
The Company’s liquidity needs up to February
22, 2021 had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares (see Note 5) and the
loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $300,000, which outstanding balance was paid on February 22, 2021 (see
Note 5). In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or
an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company
Working Capital Loans (see Note 5).
The Company has until February 22, 2023 to complete
its initial Business Combination under the terms of its final prospectus filed with the SEC on February 19, 2021. If the Company does
not complete its initial Business Combination by February 22, 2023, it will begin mandatory liquidation proceedings, including
the cessation of all operations and redemption of the Public Shares. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not yet identified
a target for its initial Business Combination.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that
the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a
Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts
payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target
businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating
the Business Combination. However, in light of the mandatory liquidation that could potentially occur within one year from the date of
this filing, management believes there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if it does
not consummate its initial Business Combination before February 22, 2023.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management is continuing to evaluate the impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that it could have
a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific
impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying
financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.
Emerging Growth Company Status
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 auditor 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 out 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, 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 comparison
of the Company’s financial statements 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires 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 expenses during the reporting
period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements
is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. 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. As of December 31, 2021 and
2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,151,239 and $3,523, respectively.
Investments Held in Trust Account
At December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust
Account were held in money market funds which invest in U.S. Treasury securities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the federal
depository insurance corporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes
the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposure to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants
(collectively, “Warrants,” which are discussed in Note 3, Note 4, and Note 8) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives
and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” and concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement related to
certain tender or exchange offer precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition
of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the Balance Sheet and measured at fair
value at inception (on the date of the IPO) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,”
with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial
Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of
the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial
Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments
issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated
with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs
associated with the Class A common stock were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Transaction
costs of the IPO amounted to an aggregate of $16,792,661, of which $457,600 was allocated to expense associated with the warrant
liability and $16,335,061 was charged to temporary equity.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the shares of Class A common stock
sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in
connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination
and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance
with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions
not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded
from the provisions of ASC 480. Accordingly, at December 31, 2021, all shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption
are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets, respectively.
The Company recognizes any subsequent changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable
Class A common stock to the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value of redeemable Class A common stock. This method
would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. The change in the carrying value of
redeemable Class A common stock also resulted in charges against Additional paid-in capital and Accumulated deficit.
The Class A common stock subject to possible redemption
reflected on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is reconciled in the following table:
| Gross Proceeds | |
$ | 300,000,000 | |
| Less: | |

| Accretion of carrying value to redemption value | |

$ | 300,000,000 | |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC
740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both
the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future
tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established
when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The deferred tax assets were deemed
to be de minimis as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process
for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest
and penalties as of December 31, 2020. 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 has identified the United States as its only “major”
tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. These potential examinations
may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal
and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially
change over the next twelve months. The provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis for the year ended December 31, 2021 and
the period from November 23, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common
stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to forfeiture.
The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an
aggregate of 7,700,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share,
since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share
is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the period presented.
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) per Share
of Common Stock
Accordingly, basic and diluted income (loss) per
share for Class A common stock and for Class B common stock is calculated as follows:
| | |
For the year ended
December 31, 2021 | | |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair
value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to
their short-term nature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt
with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies
accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement
conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share
calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
Public Units
On February 22, 2021, the Company sold 30,000,000 Units,
at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which included the partial exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option resulting
in the purchase of an additional 3,500,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-fourth of
one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A common stock (the “Public Warrants”).
Public Warrants
As of December 31, 2021, the Company has 7,500,000 Pubic
Warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per
share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion
of the initial Business Combination or February 22, 2022, the closing of the Public Offering, and will expire five years after the completion
of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional
shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the
initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with
such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of
any such issuance to the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Sponsor
or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances
represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination
on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading
price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company
consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price
of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price,
the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under the caption “Redemption of warrants when the price per share
of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher
of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under the caption “Redemption
of warrants when the price per share of Class A common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent)
to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any
shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise
unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants
is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated
to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise
has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of
the warrants. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not
effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit
solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per
Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $18.00
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
may redeem the outstanding warrants:
| ● | in
whole and not in part; |
| ● | at
a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption given after the warrants become exercisable (the “30-day redemption
period”) to each warrant holder; and |
| ● | if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period
ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share
of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $10.00
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
may redeem the outstanding warrants:
| ● | in
whole and not in part; |
| ● | at
a price of $0.10 per warrant, upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders
will be able to exercise their warrants, but only on a cashless basis, prior to redemption based on the redemption date and the “fair
market value” of Class A common stock except as otherwise described below; |
| ● | if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days (the “Reference Days”)
within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders;
and |
| ● | if
the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for the Reference Days, the placement warrants are also concurrently called for redemption
on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above. |
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption
as described above, the management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a cashless basis.
In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, the management will consider, among other
factors, the Company’s cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its stockholders of
issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. In such event, each holder
would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the lesser of
(A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants
multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrant by (y) the
fair market value and (B) 0.361 per whole warrant. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported closing
price of the Class A common stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice
of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 800,000 Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase
price of $8,000,000, in a private placement. A portion of the proceeds from the private placement was added to the proceeds from the IPO
held in the Trust Account.
Each Placement Unit is identical to the Units
offered in the Public Offering except as described below. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust
Account with respect to the founder shares, placement shares or placement warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company does not
consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company has 200,000 Private
Placement Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to Public Warrants except that the Private Placement Warrants, so
long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not,
subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s
initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis.
The Company’s initial stockholders have
agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their placement shares (i) in connection with the consummation of a Business
Combination, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation
to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination
or certain amendments to the Company’s charter prior thereto, to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete
the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’
rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within
the Combination Period or if the Company liquidates prior to the expiration of the Combination Period. However, the initial stockholders
will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to any public shares held by them if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination
or liquidate within the Combination Period.
Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
In December 2020, the Company’s initial
stockholders paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, in consideration for an aggregate of 7,187,500 shares of
Class B common stock par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). In February 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend
of 0.06 shares for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate number of 7,618,750 Founder
Shares, including an aggregate of up to 993,750 shares subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised
by the underwriters in full. On February 22, 2021, as a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment
option, a proportionate number of founder shares, aggregating 118,750, were forfeited, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate
of 7,500,000 Founder Shares.
With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares
are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to the Company’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated
with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion
of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Company’s 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 stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing
at least 90 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date, following the completion of the Company’s initial
Business Combination, on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On December 23, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note to the Sponsor for an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO. This loan was non-interest
bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of the Public Offering. On February 22, 2021, the Company paid
the balance of the promissory note in full from the IPO proceeds, and it is no longer available to be drawn upon.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may,
but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a
Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company.
Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination
does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans
but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital
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
Placement units. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement whereby,
commencing on April 1, 2021 through the earlier of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation,
the Company may pay, if requested by the Sponsor, a monthly fee of up to $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support.
Upon completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid administrative fees of $30,000 covering the quarter ended June 30, 2021. No fees were
requested, paid or accrued for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2021.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of the founder shares, Placement Units,
and units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise
of the placement warrants and any shares of Class A common stock and warrants (and underlying Class A common stock) that may
be issued upon conversion of the units issued as part of the Working Capital Loans and Class A common stock issuable upon conversion
of the founder shares, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on
the effective date of the Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of the majority of
these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In
addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent
to the completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter had a 45-day option from the date
of the IPO to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,975,000 additional Units at the public offering price less the underwriting commissions
to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 22, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option and purchased 3,500,000 additional
units, and was paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $6,000,000 in the aggregate.
The underwriters are entitled to deferred underwriting
fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $10,500,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will be payable to the underwriters
from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an initial Business Combination, subject to
the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock — The
Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $0.0001 per share. At December 31, 2021
and December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at par value of $0.0001 per share. At
December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 30,800,000 and 0 shares issued and outstanding, including 30,000,000 and 0 shares
of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively.
Class B Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock at par value of $0.0001 per share. At
December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 7,500,000 and 7,618,750 shares issued and outstanding.
The Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers
have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell their founder shares until the earlier to occur of (A) six months after the completion
of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Company’s 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 stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing
at least 90 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date, following the completion of the Company’s initial
Business Combination, on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction
that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property.
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically
convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis (subject
to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), and subject to further adjustment as
provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed
issued in excess of the amounts offered in Proposed Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the
ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance
or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common
stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock
outstanding upon completion of the IPO (excluding the placement units and underlying securities) plus all shares of Class A common
stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares
or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination, any private-equivalent units
and their underlying securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).
Holders of record of the Class A common stock
and holders of record of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s
stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote except as required by law.
Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair
Value Measurement,” 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 — |
Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
| |
Level 2 — |
Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. |
| |
Level 3 — |
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
The following table presents information about
the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021, and indicates the
fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Level 1 assets include investments in mutual funds
and money market funds invested in government securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted
market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.
The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities
in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured
at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities
in the statement of operations.
The Company established the initial fair value
of the Public and Private Warrants on February 22, 2021, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Monte Carlo
simulation model and modified Black-Sholes model. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use
of unobservable inputs. As of December 31, 2021, the Company used the quoted market price as the fair value of the Public Warrants and
the Public Warrants were reclassified from Level 3 to Level 1. Due to certain “make whole” provisions in the warrant agreement,
the Company also used the quoted market price of the Public Warrants as the fair value of the Private Warrants as of December 31, 2021,
and reclassified the Private Warrants from Level 3 to Level 2, due to the use of the quoted price of a similar liability.
The following table presents the changes in the
fair value of Level 3 warrant liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2021:

Note 9 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company
did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
