Spindletop Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 17, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to the Business Combination.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 17, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) (as defined below) and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the investments held in the Trust Account.

The Company’s sponsor is Spindletop Health Sponsor Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 12,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), including 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants related to the underwriters’ fully exercising their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $12,600,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the IPO, except that, so long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the Sponsor and its permitted transferees: (i) they are not redeemable by the Company, except under certain circumstances when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 (as adjusted), (ii) they (including the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of a business combination, (iii) they are exercisable on a cashless basis and (iv) they are entitled to registration rights.

Transaction costs amounted to $13,423,194 consisting of $4,600,000 of underwriting commissions, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $773,194 of other offering costs. Of the total offering costs, $12,842,557 was charged to temporary equity and $580,637 is included in the statement of operations.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement, $234,600,000 has been placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), representing the redemption value of the Class A common stock sold in the IPO, at their redemption value of $10.20 per share.

The Company’s ability to commence operations was contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the IPO of 23,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, which is discussed in Note 3 and the sale of 12,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor that closed simultaneously with the IPO. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.

The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

pre-initial

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a stockholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.20 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

The shares of Class A common stock subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding 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 entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the pandemic and the Russian-Ukraine war on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

November 8, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of

units (the “Units”) including

Units as part of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $

per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $

. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO the Company completed the private sale of

Private Placement Warrants, including

Private Placement Warrants related to the underwriters’ fully exercising their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $

.

the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the IPO (February 8, 2023) (such period extended (a) to 18 months if the Company has filed (i) a Form including a definitive merger or acquisition agreement or (ii) a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial Business Combination but has not completed the initial Business Combination within such period or (b) two instances by an additional three months each instance for a total of up to 18 months or 21 months, respectively, by depositing into the Trust Account for each three month extension in an amount of $0.10 per unit) or during any stockholder-approved extension period, the Company will redeem 100% of the public shares at a 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 franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.

Company anticipates that the $1,001,870 outside of the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022, will be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. However, until consummation of its Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and may use Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5) from the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 5), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

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 estimates of the costs of undertaking due diligence and negotiating the Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans from its Sponsor, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the Sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until February 8, 2023 (or up to August 8, 2023 if extended as described above) to consummate a Business Combination. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Company must complete an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (or extended (a) to 18 months if we have filed (i) a Form including a definitive merger or acquisition agreement or (ii) a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial business combination but have not completed the initial business combination within such period or (b) two instances by an additional three months each instance for a total of up to 18 months or 21 months, respectively, by depositing into the trust account for each three month extension in an amount of $0.10 per unit). It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time or if the Company has the financial resources to extend the mandatory liquidation date beyond February 8, 2023 by depositing into the trust account for each three-month extension an amount of $0.10 per unit. If a Business Combination is not consummated or the mandatory liquidation date is not extended by February 8, 2023, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 8, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to and Article 8 of Regulation 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 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022. The financial information as of December 31, 2021, is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the period from February 17, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim periods.

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 an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to 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 preparation of the financial statement in conformity with US 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 financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the derivative 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.

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $1,001,870 and $1,195,715, respectively, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and no cash equivalents.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, funds held in the Trust Account include investments substantially held in a money market fund characterized as Level 1 investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 (as defined below), respectively.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company was not exposed to significant risks on such account.

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2—Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction.

The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 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 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 in temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our balance sheets.

The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of future events. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 23,000,000 Class A common stock outstanding, which were all subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity in the balance sheet. The Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled on the following table:

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the IPO because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 24,100,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per common stock is the same as basic net income (loss) per common stock for the period presented.

 

11

Accretion of the carrying value of common stock subject to redemption value is excluded from net income per common stock because the redemption value approximates fair value.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for each class of common stock:

On November 8, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO the Company completed the private sale of 12,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, including 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants related to the underwriters’ fully exercising their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $12,600,000. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 9).

In February 2021, the Company’s initial stockholders purchased an aggregate of 5,750,000 founder shares for a capital contribution of $25,000. The founder shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters in full. Included in the IPO the underwriters’ fully exercised their over-allotment option resulting in no founder shares subject to forfeiture.

In March 2021, four members of the board of directors purchased 70,000 founders shares in the aggregate for an aggregate purchase price of $304.35, or approximately $0.004 per share, which approximated fair value at the date of issuance. One hundred percent of these founder shares will initially be subject to forfeiture. To the extent these 70,000 founder shares held by the directors have not vested pursuant to each director’s respective founder shares subscription agreement, these shares shall be automatically forfeited for no consideration upon the termination of the director’s service to the Company as a director of the Company. Each director’s founder shares will vest at a rate of 1/36th of the stock per month, effective as of March 12, 2021, subject to the director’s continuous service to the Company as a director.

In March 2021, three officers of the Company purchased 150,000 founder shares in the aggregate for an aggregate price of $652.17, or approximately $0.004 per share, which approximated fair value at the date of issuance. One hundred percent of these founder shares will initially be subject to forfeiture. To the extent these 150,000 founder shares held by the officers have not vested pursuant to each officer’s respective founder shares subscription agreement, these shares shall be automatically forfeited for no consideration upon the termination of the officer’s service to the Company as an officer of the Company. Each officer’s founder shares will vest at a rate of 1/36th of the stock per month, effective as of March 12, 2021, subject to the officer’s continuous service to the Company as an officer.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $2,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not borrowed any funds under the working capital loans and, accordingly, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

On November 3, 2021, the Company entered into an administrative services agreement commencing on the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on the Nasdaq pursuant to which the Company will agree to pay the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to the Company. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $60,000 and paid $40,000 of fees for these services. For the period from February 16, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.

The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

On November 8, 2021, the Company paid a cash underwriting commission of $0.20 per unit, or $4,600,000, (including the commission related to the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option).

The underwriters are entitled to deferred underwriting commissions of $0.35 per unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate (including the commission related to the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option). The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement for the offering.

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the sponsor or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described adjacent to “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described adjacent to the caption “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. The transfer of already issued securities held by the Sponsor in connection with the closing of our initial business combination will not be included in the calculation of the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of its initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.

If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 90th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361 per whole warrant. The “fair market value” as used in this paragraph shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the investments in the Company’s Trust Account primarily consisted of U. S. Money Market funds which are classified as cash equivalents. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

On or about December 27, 2021, holders of the Company’s Units were able to separately trade the Class A common stock and warrants included in the Company’s Units. As such, the Company’s warrant liability for the Public Warrants is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. The fair value of the Public Warrant was reclassified from Level 3 to a Level 1. The Company’s Private Placement Warrants are economically equivalent to the Company’s Public Warrants. For the period ending December 31, 2021, the Private Warrants were reclassified from a Level 3 to a Level 2 classification.

The following table presents Information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Holders of record of the Class A common stock and holders of record of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote except as required by law.

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based on the Company’s review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 12,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), including 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants related to the underwriters’ fully exercising their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $12,600,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net income of $6,147,559, which consisted of a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $6,659,121, and earnings from investments held in trust account of $22,304, partially offset by operating costs of $533,866.

For the period from February 17, 2021 (inception) to March 31, 2021, we had net loss of $477, which consisted of formation costs of $477.

As of March 31, 2022, we had $1,001,870 in our operating bank account, and a working capital of $1,580,423.

Our liquidity needs up to March 31, 2022 had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder shares to cover certain offering costs and the loan under two unsecured promissory notes from the Sponsor of $300,000 and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The promissory note was paid in full on November 8, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loan. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

On November 8, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”) including 3,000,000 Units as part of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO we completed the private sale of 12,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, including 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants related to the underwriters’ fully exercising their over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $12,600,000.

We anticipate that the $1,001,870 cash held outside of the Trust Account as of March 31, 2022, will be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. However, until consummation of a Business Combination, we will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and may use Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5) from the Sponsor, our officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 5), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

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 estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating the Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, we will need to raise additional capital through loans from our Sponsor, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the Sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Other than the administrative services agreement and deferred underwriting commission, we do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities.

Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq, we agreed to pay the Sponsor $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $60,000 and paid $40,000 of fees for these services. For the period from February 17, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.

The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Warrants, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that we register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by us.

On November 8, 2021, we paid a cash underwriting commission of $0.20 per unit, or $4,600,000, (including the commission related to the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option).

The underwriters are entitled to deferred underwriting commissions of $0.35 per unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate (including the commission related to the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option). The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement for the offering.

The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with US 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 financial statement and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

re-evaluation

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 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 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 in temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our balance sheets.

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Remeasurement adjustments associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 24,100,000 of our Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
