SOUTHPORT ACQUISTION CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1.Description of Organization and Business Operations

Southport Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company formed in Delaware on April 13, 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (the “IPO”), and pursuit of a target company to effect a business combination.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on December 9, 2021. On December 14, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO, which involved the Company’s sale of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. The 23,000,000 Units sold by the Company include 3,000,000 Units purchased by the underwriter for the IPO pursuant to the full exercise of its option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 11,700,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Southport Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds to the Company of $11,700,000.

Following the closing of the IPO on December 14, 2021, $234,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States, which will be 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 185 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, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares (as defined in Note 3) properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide its public stockholders the right to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 18 months from December 14, 2021 or during any extended time that the Company has to consummate its initial Business Combination beyond such 18-month period. On June 9, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the time that the Company has to consummate its initial Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023 (the “Extended Date”) and to allow the board of directors of the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to further extend the date to consummate an initial Business Combination after the Extended Date up to six times, by an additional month each time, up to March 14, 2024, providing the Company a 21-month period (or up to 27-month period) from the closing of the IPO to consummate its initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) (see Note 11).

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, rising interest rates and increased inflation, and recent proposals by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for new rules and amendments affecting special purpose acquisition corporations like the Company and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that such matters could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impacts are not readily determinable as of March 31, 2023. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Table of Contents

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $16,721 and $50,858, respectively, and working capital deficit of $1,728,262 and $929,527, respectively. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through working capital loans whereby, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors can, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (see Note 5). However, there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period.

Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 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 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on May 30, 2023, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2022 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of 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. 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. The Company had $16,721 and $50,858 of cash and no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on December 14, 2021, an amount of $234,600,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account and may be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide its public stockholders the right to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

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” (“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

●

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

●

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

●

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Table of Contents

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 Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative 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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivative liabilities are comprised of the warrant liability of $1,069,150 and $527,050, respectively.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for warrants for the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own shares as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related to the common stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are 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 common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2023, 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented, at redemption value, as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

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. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional capital, in accumulated deficit. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has recorded accretion of $2,525,300 to remeasure the value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption value of $240,509,813. The $2,525,300 increase was related to dividend income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

On June 9, 2023, the holders of 18,849,935 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.49 per share of Class A common stock, for an aggregate redemption amount of $197,694,657 (see Note 11).

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A common stock, classified as temporary equity in the condensed balance sheets, are reconciled in the following tables:

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position, other.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income per Class A redeemable common stock and income (loss) per non-redeemable common stock following the two-class method of income per common stock. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the Class A redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock, the Company first considered the total income allocable to both sets of stock. This is calculated using the total net income less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption was treated as dividends paid to the public stockholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of stock, the Company split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 80% for the Class A redeemable common stock and 20% for the non-redeemable common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, reflective of the respective participation rights.

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

Related Parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations 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, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. This guidance is effective as of January 1, 2022. The Company evaluated the effect the updated standard has on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure and determined there is no material impact.

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the financial condition based on the current information.

Note 3.Initial Public Offering

At the closing of the IPO on December 14, 2021, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value (each a “Public Share”), and one-half of one warrant of the Company (each a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

Upon the closing of the IPO on December 14, 2021, $234,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit sold in the IPO) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. The amounts held in the Trust Account will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $240,509,813 and $237,984,513 was held in the Trust Account, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2022, $16,721 and $50,858 of cash was not held in the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes, respectively.

Transaction costs of the IPO amounted to $13,935,218 consisting of $4,600,000 of underwriting discount, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting discount and $1,285,218 of actual offering costs. On August 22, 2022, the underwriter delivered a letter to the Company pursuant to which the underwriter waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred underwriting discount (see Note 8).

Note 4.Private Placement

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 11,700,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($11,700,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO.

Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. $9,200,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO placed in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants and the underlying securities will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable (except as described in Note 7 below under “—Redemption of warrants for Class A common stock when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00”) and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Note 5.Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 27, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,187,500 shares of Class B common stock to the Sponsor for a purchase price of $25,000. On November 25, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock for no consideration, resulting in there being an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock outstanding (the “Founder Shares”), up to 750,000 of which were then subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriter for the IPO. On December 13, 2021, the underwriter for the IPO exercised its over-allotment option in full,

Table of Contents

with the related closing of the additional 3,000,000 covered by the option occurring on December 14, 2021. Accordingly, no Founder Shares remain subject to forfeiture.

The Sponsor agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or similar transaction that results in the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Related Party Loans

The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $350,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and was payable on the completion of the IPO. The Company fully repaid the outstanding balance on the Note on December 14, 2021.

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital 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, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. 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. 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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Due to Related Party

The Sponsor has made tax payments and payments to various vendors on behalf of the Company. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company owed $244,550.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on December 10, 2021 and until completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or liquidation, the Company is required to pay the Sponsor $15,000 per month for administrative support and services. The Company pays the Sponsor for rent and costs incurred under the administrative support and services agreement and waives the excess amounts under the agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company has paid $10,500 and $34,000, respectively, under the agreement.

Note 6.Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A common stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding and subject to possible redemption. On May 25, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company, the Sponsor converted 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock held by it on a one-for-one basis into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 27,200,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, of which 4,200,000 shares were held by the Sponsor and not subject to possible redemption and 23,000,000 shares were subject to possible redemption (see Note 11). On June 9, 2023, the holders of 18,849,935 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash in connection with the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal, resulting in 4,150,065 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding and subject to possible redemption (see Note 11).

Table of Contents

Class B common stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of Class B, $0.0001 par value, common stock. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. On May 27, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,187,500 shares of Class B common stock to the Sponsor for a purchase price of $25,000. On November 25, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 shares of Class B common stock for no consideration, resulting in there being an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as a result of the above surrender, there were 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. On May 25, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company, the Sponsor converted 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock held by it on a one-for-one basis into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 1,550,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding (see Note 11).

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. In the case that additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the IPO and related to the closing of an initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding upon the completion of the IPO plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with an initial Business Combination (net of the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination), excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination and any warrants issued upon the conversion of Working Capital Loans. Holders of shares of Class B common stock may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time prior to a Business Combination.

The Company may issue additional common stock or preferred stock to complete its Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of its Business Combination.

Note 7.Warrants

The Company accounts for 23,200,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (11,500,000 Public Warrants and the 11,700,000 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. Offering costs were allocated to the Class A common stock and Public Warrants, and the amounts allocated to the Public Warrants was expensed immediately. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

Warrants – Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or the Company’s liquidation.

The Company is not 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, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Public Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company is not obligated to issue any shares of Class A common stock to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The registration statement for the IPO (the “IPO Registration Statement”) registered the sale for the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. 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 a post-effective

Table of Contents

amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement, in the Company’s discretion, with the SEC, under the Securities Act covering the sale of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment or new registration statement, as the case may be, to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a 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.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for redemption:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.10 per warrant;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A common stock;

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

●

if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the sale of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period (or, in the case of a redemption described above under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00,” the Company requires or permits the Public Warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis as described below), except, in the case of a redemption described above under “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00,” if the sale of those shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the cashless exercise of the warrants is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the sale of the shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, the Company’s management will have the option to require or permit 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 common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. 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

Table of Contents

distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

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 its 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, (i) in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance, and (ii) without taking into account the transfer of Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants (including if such transfer is effectuated as a surrender to the Company and subsequent reissuance by the Company) by the Sponsor in connection with 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 Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of such initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its 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 above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable in certain redemption scenarios and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers thereof or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers thereof or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

If a tender offer, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the Class A common stock and upon completion of such offer, the offeror owns beneficially more than 50% of the outstanding Class A common stock, the holder of the warrant shall be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such warrant had been exercised, accepted such offer and all of the Class A common stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to the offer. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Class A common stock in the applicable event is payable in the form of common equity in the successor entity that is listed on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, and if the holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following the public disclosure of the consummation of the applicable event by the Company, the warrant exercise price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference (but in no event less than zero) of (i) the warrant price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined in the warrant agreement) minus (B) the value of the warrant based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets.

The Company expects to account for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as liabilities in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. Because the Company does not control the occurrence of events, such as a tender offer or exchange, that may trigger cash settlement of the warrants where not all of the stockholders also receive cash, the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, as such, the warrants must be recorded as derivative liability.

Additionally, certain adjustments to the settlement amount of the Private Placement Warrants are based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under ASC 815-40, and thus the Private Placement Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon the issuance of the warrants at the closing of this offering. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value. The Public Warrants will be allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined with the assistance of a professional independent valuation firm. The warrant liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the

Table of Contents

Company’s statement of operations. The Company reassess the classification of the warrants at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification. There has been no change in the classification of the warrants as of March 31, 2023.

Note 8.Commitments and Contingencies

Registration rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of the underlying securities thereof, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on December 9, 2021, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A common stock). The holders of these securities are 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 Company’s consummation 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 provides that the Company is not required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period with respect to such 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 from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discount. On December 13, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option in full, closing the sale of the 3,000,000 additional Units on December 14, 2021. The underwriter was paid an underwriting commission of $4,600,000 upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriter was entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate, 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. On August 22, 2022, the underwriter delivered a letter to the Company pursuant to which the underwriter waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred underwriting fee. The $8,050,000 waived fee was recorded to accumulated deficit.

Note 9.Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value 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:


	March 31, 2023
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Assets:
Marketable securities held in trust account	$	240,509,813	$	—	$	—
Liabilities:
Public Warrants	$	530,150	$	—	$	—
Private Placement Warrants	$	—	$	539,000	$	—


	December 31, 2022
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Assets:
Marketable securities held in trust account	$	237,984,513	$	—	$	—
Liabilities:
Public Warrants	$	261,050	$	—	$	—
Private Placement Warrants	$	—	$	266,000	$	—

At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company’s warrant liability was valued at $1,069,150 and $527,050. Under the guidance in ASC 815-40, the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment. As

Table of Contents

such, the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each re-measurement, the valuations will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

The following table presents fair value information for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. The Company’s warrant liability is based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value.


	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
			Private
	Public		Placement		Warrant
	Warrants		Warrants		Liability
Derivative warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2022	$	261,050	$	266,000	$	527,050
Change in fair value		269,100		273,000		542,100
Derivative warrant liabilities as of March 31, 2023	$	530,150	$	539,000	$	1,069,150

Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the warrants on December 14, 2021, the date of the consummation of the Company’s IPO. The Company used a Black-Scholes-Merton formula to value the warrants. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one Public Warrant), (ii) the sale of Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) the issuance of Class B common stock, first to the warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption (temporary equity), Class A common stock (permanent equity) and Class B common stock (permanent equity) based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date. As of March 31, 2023, the public warrants have detached from the Units and are separately tradable on the New York Stock Exchange (PORT.W). The closing price of the public warrants was utilized in determining the fair value of the public warrants as of March 31, 2023.

The key inputs into the lattice model and Monte Carlo simulation model formula were as follows at March 31, 2023:


	Private
	Placement
Inputs:	Warrants
Common stock price	$	10.40
Exercise price	$	11.50
Risk-free rate of interest		3.56	%
Volatility		0.00	%
Term		5.17
Warrant to buy one share	$	0.05
Dividend yield		0.00	%

Note 10.Income Taxes

The Company utilized the discrete method for estimating its interim income tax provision. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $519,957 and $0, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 30.51% and 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the Federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets. The income tax provision was deemed de minimis for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of capitalized startup costs. The Company considered the history of cumulative net losses, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets. As such, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

On June 9, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to vote upon the Extension Amendment Proposal. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Extension Amendment Proposal to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2022 and to allow the board of directors of the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to further extend the date to consummate an initial Business Combination after the Extended Date up to six times, by an additional month each time, up to March 14, 2024.

Prior to the Special Meeting, on May 25, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into voting and non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with unaffiliated third parties in exchange for such third parties agreeing (i) not to redeem an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock sold in its initial public offering (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Special Meeting and (ii) to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Extension at the Special Meeting (other than with respect to certain shares acquired or to be acquired pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements). In exchange for the foregoing commitments, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such third parties an aggregate of up to 1,499,996 shares of Class B common stock held by the Sponsor, with 500,000 of such shares to be transferred to such third parties promptly upon consummation of the Extension, and an additional 166,666 shares to be transferred to such third parties monthly beginning on September 14, 2023 and up to, and including, February 14, 2024, if the board of directors of the Company elects to further extend the deadline to consummate an initial business combination at or prior to such date, in each case, if such third parties continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Special Meeting.

In connection with the Special Meeting and the entry into the Non-Redemption Agreements, on May 25, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company, the Sponsor converted 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock held by it on a one-for-one basis into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. After giving effect to such conversion, the Company has an aggregate of 27,200,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, comprised of 4,200,000 shares held by the Sponsor and not subject to possible redemption and 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, and 1,550,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 18,849,935 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.49 per share of Class A common stock, for an aggregate redemption amount of $197,694,657. As a result of the redemptions, 4,150,065 shares of Class A common stock were issued and outstanding and subject to possible redemption.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 13, 2021 and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not identified any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds from our IPO and the Private Placement, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt.

On December 14, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering (our “IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (the “units”), each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and one-half of one warrant of the Company, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). The 23,000,000 units sold in our IPO include 3,000,000 units sold to BofA Securities, Inc., the underwriter for our IPO (the “underwriter”), pursuant to the underwriter’s full exercise of its option under the underwriting agreement for our IPO to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units solely to cover over-allotments. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, and our IPO generated gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with our sponsor of an aggregate of 11,700,000 warrants (the “private placement warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $11,700,000.

On December 14, 2021, a total of $234,600,000 of the net proceeds from our IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. The net proceeds deposited into the Trust Account remain on deposit in the Trust Account earning interest and are available for a business combination, assuming no redemptions, before fees and expenses associated with our initial business combination.

Table of Contents

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of our initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide our public stockholders the right to have their public shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 14, 2023 or during any extended time we have to consummate our initial business combination beyond June 14, 2023 as a result of a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (an “Extension Period”) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (c) the redemption of all of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination by June 14, 2023 or during any Extension Period, subject to applicable law. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may only be invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

On June 9, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the time that the Company has to consummate its initial business combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023 (the “Extended Date”) and to allow the board of directors of the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to further extend the date to consummate an initial business combination after the Extended Date up to six times, by an additional month each time, up to March 14, 2024, providing the Company a 21-month period (or up to 27-month period) from the closing of the IPO to consummate its initial Business Combination.

As of March 31, 2023, we had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 relates to our formation, our IPO and our pursuit of a target company with which to effect our initial business combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

Our entire activity from inception through March 31, 2023 relates solely to our formation, our IPO and, since the closing of our IPO, a search for a business combination candidate. We have not generated any operating revenues to date, and we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of $1,184,465, which consisted of $2,525,300 dividend income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, offset by a $542,100 loss on the change in fair value of the warrant liability, $76,671 in legal and accounting expenses, $49,315 of franchise tax expense, $129,063 of insurance expense, and $23,729 of administrative expenses and bank fees expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net income of $10,369,840, which consisted of a $10,852,000 gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, a $22,304 unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, offset by $264,030 in legal and accounting expenses, $49,315 of franchise tax expense, $129,063 of insurance expense, and $62,056 of administrative expenses and bank fees expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash of $16,721 and $50,858, respectively, and working capital deficit of $1,728,262 and $929,527, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,578,970. Net income of $1,184,465 was adjusted by a $542,100 loss on the change in fair value of the warrant liability and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $764,597, offset by $912,193 of accrued dividend on marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $1,503,029. Net income of $10,369,840 was adjusted by a $10,852,000 gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $998,565, and a $22,304 unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

We expect to use our working capital primarily for legal and accounting fees related to our regulatory reporting requirements, fees for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative services, continued listing fees on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and for expenses in connection with identifying and evaluating target businesses, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travelling to and from the offices or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses and structuring, negotiating and completing a business combination.

Specifically, we expect that our primary liquidity requirements over the next 12 months from March 31, 2023 will include, among other things, approximately $180,000 for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative services pursuant to our agreement with our sponsor to pay our sponsor $15,000 per month for these services until our initial business combination or liquidation; $300,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses in connection with any business combination; $300,000 for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; $85,000 for NYSE continued listing fees; and approximately $200,000 for working capital to cover miscellaneous expenses (including Delaware franchise taxes, net of anticipated interest income). These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses.

In light of the above, our management does not expect that we will be able to fund our liquidity requirements in the next 12 months from our current working capital. In order to fund the expected working capital deficiency or to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our management plans to seek loans from our management team or our sponsor or any of their respective affiliates. However, neither our management team nor our sponsor or their respective affiliates are obligated to loan us these funds, and, as such, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient loans to fund any working capital deficiency. If we receive such loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. These warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within 12 months from March 31, 2023.

Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, we may target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds from our IPO and the Private Placement, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy redemptions by public stockholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination.

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.

On May 25, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company, the Sponsor converted 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock held by it on a one-for-one basis into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 27,200,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, comprised of 4,200,000 shares of Class A common stock held by the Sponsor and not subject to possible redemption and 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. On June 9, 2023, the holders of 18,849,935 shares of Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares in connection with the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal for $197,694,657 in cash, resulting in 4,150,065 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding that are subject to possible redemption and $43,525,120 remaining in the Trust Account.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. 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 as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement for our IPO, the underwriter of our IPO was entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate, payable to the underwriter 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. However, on August 22, 2022, the underwriter delivered a letter to the Company pursuant to which the underwriter waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred underwriting fee.

We have entered into a letter agreement with our sponsor pursuant to which we are required to pay our sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative services, commencing on December 10, 2021, the date that our securities were first listed on the NYSE, through the earlier of our initial business combination and our liquidation.

Commitments and Contingencies

Registration rights

The holders of the founder shares, private placement warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and in each case holders of the underlying securities thereof, as applicable) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on December 9, 2021, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to our Class A common stock). The holders of these securities are 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 Company’s consummation of a business combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company is not required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period with respect to such securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of our IPO to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discount. On December 13, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option in full, closing the sale of the 3,000,000 additional units on December 14, 2021. The underwriter was paid an underwriting commission of $4,600,000 upon the closing of our IPO. In addition, the underwriter was entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate, payable to the underwriter 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.

On August 22, 2022, the underwriter delivered a letter to the Company pursuant to which the underwriter waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred underwriting fee. The $8,050,000 waived fee was recorded to accumulated deficit.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates as of March 31, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item. The net proceeds from our IPO and the Private Placement held in the Trust Account are invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

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, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current Chief Executive Officer who also acts as our principal accounting officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the previously disclosed material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the fact that the Company has not yet designed and maintained effective controls relating to the presentation of our statement of cash flows.

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.

Remediation Activities

Following the determination of the material weakness, our Chief Financial Officer performed additional post-closing review procedures including consulting with subject matter experts related to the accounting for marketable securities. The Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to properly identify and evaluate the appropriate accounting technical pronouncements, we have improved, and will continue to improve, these processes to ensure that transactions are effectively evaluated in the context of the increasingly complex accounting standards. We plan to continue to enhance our review procedures of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including additional analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the matters discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

To the knowledge of our management, there is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

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 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC.

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

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

We did not sell any unregistered equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Use of Proceeds from our IPO

On December 14, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 23,000,000 units, which included 3,000,000 units issued pursuant to the exercise in full by BofA Securities, Inc., the underwriter, of its over-allotment option, which option was granted to the underwriter under the underwriting agreement for our IPO. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, and our IPO generated gross proceeds of $230,000,000. The securities sold in our IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-261370). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on December 9, 2021.

At the time of the consummation of our IPO, we paid a total of $4,600,000 in underwriting fees related to our IPO. In addition, the underwriter agreed to defer $8,050,000 in underwriting fees. On August 22, 2022, the underwriter delivered a letter to the Company pursuant to which the underwriter waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred underwriting fee.

On December 14, 2021, a total of $234,600,000 of the net proceeds from our IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in the Trust Account. The net proceeds deposited into the Trust Account remain on deposit in the Trust Account and are available for a business combination, assuming no redemptions, before fees and expenses associated with our initial business combination. The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

Through December 14, 2021, we incurred $1,285,218 for other costs and expenses related to our IPO.
