ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. The Company’s management determined that the United States is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. 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 March 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 is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
The Company’s provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2020-06,
Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
470-20)
and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40)
(“ASU
2020-06”)
to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU
2020-06
eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU
2020-06
amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the
if-converted
method for all convertible instruments. ASU
2020-06
is effective January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. Management is currently evaluating the new guidance but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
Note 3—Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 28,750,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, including 3,750,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock
and one-third of
one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed a sale of 1,333,333 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (the “Private Placements”), to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. So long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the Sponsor, the Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable for cash by the Company and will be exercisable on a cashless basis.
Note 4—Related Party Transactions
On December 29, 2020, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $24,120 in exchange for the issuance of 6,934,500 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). In January 2021, the Sponsor made a charitable contribution of 115,000 of the Founder Shares to Share Our Strength, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. On March 1, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full to purchase 904,500 founder shares.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (1) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (2) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within
any 30-trading day
period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination (provided that
the 30-trading day
period must be completed prior to any such transfer, assignment or sale), 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 Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property.
