NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

Colombier Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on February 12, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company has one subsidiary, Colombier-Liberty Acquisition, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware on February 16, 2023 (“Merger Sub”) (see Note 6).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period February 12, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), identifying a target company for a Business Combination, and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of PSQ Holdings, Inc. d/b/a PublicSq., a Delaware corporation (“PublicSq.”) (see Note 6). 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 Initial Public Offering. The Company has elected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 8, 2021. On June 11, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,250,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the sponsor, Colombier Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $5,250,000, which is described in Note 4.

At the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 11, 2021, due to a clerical error, the Trust Account (as defined below) was overfunded by $1,240,000. The overfunded amount was transferred to the Company’s operating account on June 14, 2021.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 11, 2021, an amount of $150,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which is invested in U.S. government securities within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $1,000,000, and to pay its tax obligations (“Permitted Withdrawals”).

On July 1, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in the issuance of an additional 2,250,000 Units for an aggregate amount of $22,500,000. In connection with the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 450,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $450,000. A total of $22,500,000 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $172,500,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $9,947,799, consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fees, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $460,299 of other offering costs.

Pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2021, in January 2023, the Company withdrew $1,000,000 and $389,298 from the trust account for fiscal year 2022 working capital purposes and fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022 tax obligations, respectively. Additionally, in March 2023, the Company withdrew $1,000,000 from the Trust Account for fiscal year 2023 working capital purposes.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund Permitted Withdrawals). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 24 months (or 27 months, if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination prior to June 11, 2023) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (c) not to propose an amendment to the 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 Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

(UNAUDITED)

The Company will have until September 11, 2023 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to 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 tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) or to fund any Permitted Withdrawals (subject to an annual limit of $1,000,000), 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 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the per share value deposited into the Trust account ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) 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 public 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 monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Business Combination

On February 27, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Merger Sub the Sponsor, in the capacity as Purchaser representative (solely for purposes of certain sections of the Merger Agreement), and PublicSq. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and PublicSq. (the “Merger”) will be effected and the name of the Company will be changed to “PSQ Holdings, Inc.” For more information, please see Note 6 and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.

Liquidity and Going Concern

At March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $1,792,862 and working capital of $680,981 (after adding back $50,000 in franchise tax payable as that liability, which is included in “accrued expenses” in the accompanying balance sheet, and may be settled using earnings from the Trust Account; $2,124 of franchises taxes paid out of an operating cash account not yet reimbursed from the Trust Account; and $977,338 in accrued income tax payable, which may be settled using earnings from the Trust Account).

The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2023 were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, a loan of $46,975 under an unsecured and non-interest bearing promissory note from a related party, and from the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held outside of the Trust Account. See “Note 5. Related Party Transactions” for more information regarding the sale of the Founder Shares and the promissory note.

Additionally, to fund working capital, the Company has permitted certain withdrawals from the Trust Account up to an annual limit of $1,000,000. The Company may withdraw additional funds to pay income tax and franchise tax obligations. These Permitted Withdrawals are limited to only the interest that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit made upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company withdrew $2,389,298 to pay for income taxes and working capital expenses.

The Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company’s actual costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are more than its estimated amounts, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete a Business Combination or because it became obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case it may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until September 11, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after September 11, 2023.

Risks and Uncertainties

Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination and the value of the Company’s securities.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

(UNAUDITED)

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 statement 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.

The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Public Offering, (b) in which the Company’s total annual gross revenue is at least $1.235 billion or (c) when the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th and (ii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and 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. Cash held outside of the trust was $1,792,862 and $195,339 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company withdrew $2,389,298 and $0 from the Trust Account to fund Permitted Withdrawals, respectively.

All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 4) and the Private Placement Warrants (collectively, with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations. The Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a binomial/lattice model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 17,250,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(UNAUDITED)

Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the re-measurement from initial book value to redemption amount, which approximates fair value. The change in the carrying value of the redeemable Class A common stock subject to possible redemption resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A Common stock.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are 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 derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the issuance of Public Shares amounting to $9,618,180 are included in the re-measurement for Class A common stock subject to redemption amount. The Company paid the underwriters a cash fee of $3,450,000 at the Initial Public Offering date, and accrued deferred underwriters fees of $6,037,500, which will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination. Offering costs associated with the derivative warrant liabilities amounting to $290,432 in the second quarter of 2021, and $39,187 in the third quarter of 2021, totaling $329,619 for the period from February 12, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, were expensed to the statement of operations. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective tax rate was (37.72)% and 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, due to changes in fair value in warrant liability, M&A expenses subsequent to signing of a letter of intent (“LOI”), and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These 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.

Net (loss) income per Common Share

Net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Re-measurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted (loss) income per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 11,450,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. For the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per common stock is the same as basic net (loss) income per common share for the period presented.

(UNAUDITED)

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

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 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant liabilities (see Note 9).

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 17,250,000 Units, inclusive of 2,250,000 Units sold to the underwriters on July 1, 2021 upon the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172.5 million. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 8).

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 5,250,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,250,000, in a private placement. On July 1, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 450,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $450,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On February 15, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 4,312,500 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 562,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will collectively own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option on July 1, 2021, 562,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the 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 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange 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.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on June 8, 2021, through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $30,000 in fees for these services, respectively, of which $13,750 and $30,000 are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On February 23, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021, or (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $46,975 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 11, 2021.

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 directors and officers 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 proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no related party loans were outstanding.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 11, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of our Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement will provide that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 1, 2021, the underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,250,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit.

The underwriters were paid $3,450,000 at the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters are also entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,037,500 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The Company agreed to pay for the FINRA-related fees and expenses of the underwriters’ legal counsel and certain diligence and other fees, which such fees and expenses are capped at an aggregate of $50,000. The Company also reimbursed the underwriters for background checks on our directors, director nominees and executive officers.

PublicSq. Merger Agreement

On February 27, 2023, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with the Merger Sub, the Sponsor, the capacity as Purchaser representative (solely for the purpose of certain sections of the Merger Agreement), and PublicSq. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into PublicSq., with PublicSq. being the surviving company following the merger (the “Merger”) and continuing in existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Any PublicSq. convertible securities which remain outstanding and have not been exercised or do not convert automatically into shares of PublicSq. Common Stock (as defined below) prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be cancelled without consideration, each share of PublicSq. common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“PublicSq. Common Stock”), other than shares held by Michael Seifert (the “Founder”), will be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Colombier Class A Common Stock”) equal to the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and each share of PublicSq. Common Stock held by the Founder will be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Class C Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Colombier Class C Common Stock” and, together with Colombier Class A Common Stock, “Colombier Common Stock”) equal to the Conversion Ratio.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consideration to be delivered to the holders of PublicSq. Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) will be a number of newly issued shares of Colombier Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to $200.0 million, subject to adjustments for PublicSq.’s closing debt (net of cash). In addition to the right to receive Colombier Class A Common Stock or Colombier Class C Common Stock, as applicable, in the Merger, holders of PublicSq. Common Stock and certain other employees and service providers of PublicSq. (the “Deemed Equity Holders” and, together with the other earnout participants, collectively, the “PublicSq. Earnout Participants”) will be entitled to receive up to 3,000,000 shares of Colombier Class A Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) in the event certain metrics are satisfied during the period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the fifth anniversary of the closing date (the “Earn-Out Period”). Specifically, in the event that, and upon the date during the Earn-Out Period on which, the volume-weighted average trading price of Colombier Class A Common Stock quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (or such other exchange on which the shares of Colombier Class A Common Stock are then listed) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty consecutive trading day period (the “Earn-Out Trading Price”) is greater than or equal to $12.50 (“Triggering Event I”), the PublicSq. Earnout Participants will be entitled to receive an aggregate of 1,000,000 Earn-Out Shares; in the event that, and upon the date during the Earn-Out Period on which, the Earn-Out Trading Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 (“Triggering Event II”), the PublicSq. Earnout Participants will be entitled to receive an aggregate of 1,000,000 additional Earn-Out Shares; and if, at any time during the Earn-Out Period and upon the date on which, the Earn-Out Trading Price is greater than or equal to $17.50 (“Triggering Event III” and, together with Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II, the “Triggering Events”), the PublicSq. Earnout Participants will be entitled to receive an aggregate of 1,000,000 additional Earn-Out Shares. If, during the Earn-Out Period, there is a change of control of the Company pursuant to which the Company or its stockholders have the right to receive consideration implying a value per share of Colombier Class A Common Stock equaling or exceeding the Earn-Out Trading Price underlying one or more Triggering Events, then, immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control, (i) to the extent the relevant Triggering Event has not previously occurred, such relevant Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred and (ii) each PublicSq. Earnout Participant shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share of the applicable number of Earn-Out Shares to be issued based on the deemed occurrence of the applicable Triggering Event(s).

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) pursuant to which it has agreed that it will (i) fully comply with, and perform all of the obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in that certain letter agreement, dated June 8, 2021, between the Company and Sponsor (the “Insider Letter”); (ii) waive the anti-dilution rights with respect to the Sponsor’s Founder Shares that are triggered upon the conversion of the Founder Shares into Colombier Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of the Merger; (iii) waive any claims it has or may have against the Company, PublicSq. and each of their affiliates with respect to any claims occurring (or any circumstances existing) prior to Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement),subject to certain exceptions; (iv) forfeit one percent of the Colombier Class B Common Stock and warrants to purchase Colombier Class A common stock held by the Sponsor for every one percent of redemptions in excess of an amount of shares equal to eighty percent of the sum of (a) the number of shares of Colombier Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), plus (b) the result of (i) the aggregate proceeds raised in any Permitted Financing (as defined in the Merger Agreement), divided by (ii) $10.00. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Company has agreed to enforce the Insider Letter in accordance with its terms, and not to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Insider Letter without the prior written consent of PublicSq.

Certain stockholders of PublicSq. (the “PublicSq. Holders”) entered into support agreements (the “Company Support Agreements”), pursuant to which such stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of capital stock of PublicSq. beneficially owned by the PublicSq. Holders (the “PublicSq. Shares”) in favor of the Merger and related transactions. Such PublicSq. Holders also agreed to take certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement and related transactions (and any actions required in furtherance thereof) and refrain from taking actions that would adversely affect such PublicSq. Holders’ ability to perform their obligations under the Company Support Agreements. Pursuant to the Company Support Agreements, the PublicSq. Holders also agreed not to transfer the PublicSq. Shares during the period from and including the date of the Company Support Agreement and the first to occur of the date of Closing or the date on which the Company Support Agreement is terminated, except for certain permitted transfers where the recipient also agrees to comply with the Company Support Agreement.

Certain PublicSq. Holders have agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company’s common stock held by them and issued as Merger Consideration (such shares, together with any securities convertible into or exchangeable for or representing the rights to receive shares of the Company acquired during the Lock-Up Period, as defined below, the “Lock-Up Shares”), (ii) enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares or otherwise, or engage in any short sales or other arrangement with respect to the Lock-Up Shares, or (iv) publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing until the date that is one year after the Closing (the period from the Effective Time until such date, the “Lock-Up Period”). Such restrictions will lapse if, commencing on the 150th day following Closing, the volume-weighted average trading price of one share of Class A common stock quoted on the NYSE (or such other exchange on which the shares of Class A common stock are then listed) for any twenty trading days within any thirty consecutive trading day period is greater than or equal to $12.00.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by either the Company or PublicSq. if the Merger and related transactions are not consummated on or before September 11, 2023 (the “Outside Date”), provided that the Company may extend the Outside Date for an additional period ending on the earlier of (A) the last date for the Company to consummate its Business Combination pursuant to an extension granted pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents and (B) December 31, 2023.

The terms of the Company’s Charter provide a Completion Window of 24 months from the date of closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “IPO Date”) or 27 months from the IPO Date if the Company has entered into a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the IPO Date (such additional three-month period of the Completion Window, as incorporated into the terms of the Company’s Charter, the “Automatic Three Month Extension”). As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023 relating to the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement and other transaction documents with PSQ, as a result of the Company’s entering into the Merger Agreement with PSQ on February 27, 2023 (prior to the 24-month anniversary of the IPO Date), the Company’s Completion Window has been automatically extended from June 11, 2023 to September 11, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Charter.

Other Agreements

In connection with the proposed business combination which is the subject of the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”), the Company and the Representative of the Company’s underwriters for the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “UW Representative”) agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 9, 2023, that the Company, in its discretion, could reallocate a portion of the “Deferred Discount,” as such term is defined in the Underwriting Agreement, dated June 8, 2021, entered into by the Company and the UW Representative, as representative of the underwriters in connection with the Initial Public Offering, to one or more third parties not participating in the Initial Public Offering; provided that the UW Representative is paid at least an agreed minimum amount of the Deferred Discount at the closing, if any, of the Business Combination with PublicSq. (the “PublicSq. Business Combination”).

The Company has not engaged Farvahar Capital (“Farvahar”) to provide financial, advisory, or other services to the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering or the PublicSq. Business Combination. Accordingly, since inception, Farvahar has not received and is not expected to receive any fees, commissions or reimbursements of any expenses from the Company. The Company does not intend to engage Farvahar to provide any advisory or other services to the Company in connection with the PublicSq. Business Combination or otherwise.

In March, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF&CO”), pursuant to which CF&CO agreed to provide certain capital markets advisory services to the Company in connection with the Business Combination in consideration for advisory fees. These fees would be payable in cash contingent on the closing of the Merger.

NOTE 8. WARRANT LIABILITIES

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there are 5,750,000 Public Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares.

The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. 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.

MARCH 31, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th business day following the closing of a Business Combination, holders of the warrants will have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st business day after the closing of a Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, and during any other period when the company fails to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis.” Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of Class A common stock are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there are 5,700,000 Private Placement warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 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:

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the statements of operations.

The Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements:

Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 12, 2021 for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 17,250,000 units (the “Units,” which included the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 2,250,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit), the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt, or a combination of cash, stock, and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from February 12, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2023 were organizational activities, activities related to our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination, and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of PSQ Holdings, Inc. d/b/a PublicSq., a Delaware corporation (“PublicSq.”), as described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in our trust account (the “Trust Account”). We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $1,652,348, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,488,500 and formation and operating costs of $1,549,416 and provision for income taxes of $452,561, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,838,129.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net income of $2,585,027, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $11,135 and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,866,252, offset by formation and operating costs of $292,360.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, Results of Operations, and Going Concern

Liquidity

On February 15, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 4,312,500 shares of our Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. At the time of the purchase, the Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 562,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would collectively own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option on July 1, 2021 (as discussed below), 562,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

On June 11, 2021, we completed the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 5,250,000 warrants in a private placement to our Sponsor (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $5,250,000.

On July 1, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, we consummated the sale of an additional 2,250,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $22,500,000. In addition, we also consummated the sale of an additional 450,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $450,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $172,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $9,947,799 in Initial Public Offering-related costs, including $3,450,000 of underwriting fees, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting fees payable upon completion of an initial business combination, and $460,299 of other costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $791,775. Net loss of $1,652,348 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,838,129 and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,488,500. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,210,202 of cash for operating activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $383,074. Net income of $2,585,027 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $11,135, and a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,866,252. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $90,714 of cash for operating activities.

As of March 31, 2023, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $174,396,858 (including $1,896,858 of interest income) consisting of money market funds, which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities. Through March 31, 2023, we have withdrawn $2,389,298 from the Trust Account.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

At March 31, 2023, we had cash of $1,792,862 and working capital of $680,981 (after adding back $50,000 in franchise tax payable as that liability, which is included in “accrued expenses” in the accompanying balance sheet, and may be settled using earnings from the Trust Account; $2,124 of franchises taxes paid out of an operating cash account not yet reimbursed from the Trust Account; and $977,338 in accrued income tax payable, which may be settled using earnings from the Trust Account).

Our liquidity needs up to March 31, 2023 were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, a loan of $46,975 under an unsecured and non-interest bearing promissory note, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held outside of the Trust Account. See “Note 5. Related Party Transactions” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our borrowings and indebtedness.

Additionally, to fund working capital requirements, we have permitted withdrawals from the Trust Account up to an annual limit of $1,000,000, and we may withdraw additional funds to pay income tax and franchise tax obligations (“Permitted Withdrawals”). These Permitted Withdrawals are limited to only the interest available that has been earned in excess of the initial deposit in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we withdrew $2,389,298 from the Trust Account. Specifically, in January 2023, we withdrew $1,000,000 and $389,298 from the Trust Account for fiscal year 2022 working capital purposes and fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022 tax obligations, respectively. Additionally, in March 2023, we withdrew $1,000,000 from the Trust Account for fiscal year 2023 working capital purposes.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our actual costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are more than our estimated amount, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have until September 11, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is not guaranteed that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after September 11, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees on June 8, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $30,000 in fees for these services, respectively, of which $10,000 and $30,000 are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated June 8, 2021 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), entered into by us and the Representative of our underwriters for the Initial Public Offering (the “UW Representative”), the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,037,500. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. In connection with our proposed business combination with PublicSq. (the “PublicSq. Business Combination”), the UW Representative agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 9, 2023, that the in our discretion, we could reallocate a portion of the “Deferred Discount,” as such term is defined in the Underwriting Agreement, to one or more third parties not participating in the Initial Public Offering; provided that the UW Representative is paid at least an agreed minimum amount of the Deferred Discount at the closing, if any, of the PublicSq. Business Combination.

The terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) provide that we have 24 months from the date of our Initial Public Offering (the “IPO Date”) to complete a Business Combination, or 27 months from the IPO Date if we have entered into a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the IPO Date (the “Completion Window”). As a result of our entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger with PublicSq., among other parties, on February 27, 2023 (prior to the 24-month anniversary of the IPO Date), our Completion Window has been automatically extended from June 11, 2023 to September 11, 2023 in accordance with the terms of our Charter.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liabilities

We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations. For periods where no observable traded price was available, the Warrants are valued using a binomial/lattice model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Warrants from the Units, the Warrant quoted market price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock, which we also refer to as “Public Shares,” features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the re-measurement from initial book value to redemption amount, which approximates fair value. The change in the carrying value of the redeemable Class A common stock subject to possible redemption resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

Net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Re-measurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted (loss) income per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 11,450,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per common share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. For the periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per common stock is the same as basic net (loss) income per common share for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On February 27, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among us, Colombier-Liberty Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), our Sponsor, in the capacity as “Purchaser representative” (solely for purposes of certain sections of the Merger Agreement), and PublicSq. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between us and PublicSq. (the “Merger”) will be effected and our name will be changed to “PSQ Holdings, Inc.”

Simultaneous with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which it agreed that it will (i) fully comply with and perform all of the obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in that certain letter agreement, dated June 8, 2021, between us and Sponsor (the “Insider Letter”); (ii) waive the anti-dilution rights with respect to its Founder Shares that are triggered upon the conversion of the Founder Shares into Public Shares upon the consummation of the Merger; (iii) waive any claims it has or may have against us and each of our affiliates and PSQ and each of their affiliates with respect to any claims occurring (or any circumstances existing) prior to the closing of the Merger (“Closing”) (subject to certain exceptions); (iv) forfeit one percent of its Founder Shares and Warrants for every one percent of redemptions in excess of an amount of shares equal to eighty percent of the sum of (a) the number of Public Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), plus (b) the result of (i) the aggregate proceeds raised in any Permitted Financing (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), divided by (ii) $10.00. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, we have agreed to enforce the Insider Letter in accordance with its terms, and not to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Insider Letter without the prior written consent of PublicSq.

Also simultaneous with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of PublicSq. (the “PublicSq. Holders”) entered into support agreements (the “Company Support Agreements”), pursuant to which such stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of capital stock of PublicSq. beneficially owned by the PublicSq. Holders (the “PublicSq. Shares”) in favor of the Merger and related transactions. Such PublicSq. Holders also agreed to take certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement and related transactions (and any actions required in furtherance thereof) and to refrain from taking actions that would adversely affect such PublicSq. Holders’ ability to perform their obligations under the Company Support Agreement. Pursuant to the Company Support Agreements, the PublicSq. Holders also agreed not to transfer their PublicSq. Shares during the period from and including the date of the Company Support Agreement and the first to occur of the date of Closing or the date on which the Company Support Agreement is terminated, except for certain permitted transfers where the recipient also agrees to comply with the Company Support Agreement.

Certain PSQ Holders have also agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of certain classes of our common stock held by them and issued as Merger Consideration (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) (such shares, together with any securities convertible into or exchangeable for or representing the rights to receive shares of us acquired during the Lock-Up Period, as defined below, the “Lock-Up Shares”), (ii) enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares or otherwise, or engage in any short sales or other arrangement with respect to the Lock-Up Shares, or (iv) publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing until the date that is one year after the date of Closing (the “Effective Time”) (the period from the Effective Time until such date, the “Lock-Up Period”). Such restrictions will lapse if, commencing on the 150th day following Closing, the volume-weighted average trading price of one share of our Class A common stock quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other exchange on which the shares of Class A common stock are then listed) for any twenty trading days within any thirty consecutive trading day period is greater than or equal to $12.00.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by either us or PublicSq. if the Merger and related transactions are not consummated on or before September 11, 2023 (the “Outside Date”), provided that we may extend the Outside Date for an additional period ending on the earlier of (A) the last date for us to consummate its business combination pursuant to an extension granted pursuant to our organizational documents and (B) December 31, 2023.

The terms of our Charter provide a Completion Window of 24 months from the IPO Date, or 27 months from the IPO Date if we have entered into a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the IPO Date (such additional three-month period of the Completion Window, as incorporated into the terms of our Charter, the “Automatic Three Month Extension”). As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated and filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023 relating to our entry into the Merger Agreement and other transaction documents with PublicSq., as a result of our entering into the Merger Agreement with PublicSq. on February 27, 2023 (prior to the 24-month anniversary of the IPO Date), our Completion Window has been automatically extended from June 11, 2023 to September 11, 2023, in accordance with the terms of our Charter.

Other Agreements 

We have not engaged Farvahar Capital (“Farvahar”) to provide financial, advisory, or other services in connection with our Initial Public Offering or the Business Combination with PublicSq (the “PublicSq. Business Combination”). Accordingly, since inception, Farvahar has not received and is not expected to receive any fees, commissions or reimbursements of any expenses from us. We do not intend to engage Farvahar to provide any advisory or other services to us in connection with the PublicSq. Business Combination or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Management intends to implement remediation steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we intend to expand and improve our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications, and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our final prospectus for the initial public offering and Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus for the initial public offering and Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On June 11, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 Units. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $150,000,000. B. Riley Securities, Inc. acted as sole book-running manager, of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-254492). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statements effective on June 8, 2021.

Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 5,250,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $5,250,000. Each whole Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants are not transferable, assignable, or salable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

On July 1, 2021, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, resulting in the sale of an additional 2,250,000 Units for gross proceeds of $22,500,000, less the underwriters’ discount of $450,000. In connection with the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 450,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $450,000. A total of $22,500,000 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $172,500,000.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $150,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

We paid a total of $3,000,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $460,299 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public Offering.
