Parabellum Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 5, 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
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and activities necessary to identify a potential target for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

As of October 15, 2021, transaction costs related to the exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $
Proposed Business Combination
On November 13, 2022, the Company executed a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with EnOcean GmbH, a German private limited company incorporated under the laws of Germany (“EnOcean”), EnOcean Holdings B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the Laws of the Netherlands and formed by certain shareholders of EnOcean (“Holdco”) and Artemis Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”) (the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).
Business Combination Agreement
The below description of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the actual agreement, a copy of which is filed with the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 14, 2022, as Exhibit 2.1. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about Parabellum, EnOcean, Holdco or Merger Sub. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties by Parabellum, EnOcean, Holdco and Merger Sub contained in the Business Combination Agreement are qualified by information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about Parabellum, EnOcean, Holdco or Merger Sub at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that Parabellum makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Merger
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Parabellum (the “Merger”), with Parabellum as the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), and after giving effect to the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco.
Immediately prior to the Merger, Parabellum’s Class B common stock (“Parabellum Class B Common Stock”) will automatically convert into Class A common stock, par value $
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of Parabellum Class A common stock (other than Parabellum common stock owned by Parabellum as treasury stock (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”)) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished and exchanged for
6
Further, each warrant to purchase shares of Parabellum Class A common stock (“Parabellum Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be converted into a warrant that is exercisable for an equivalent number of Holdco Ordinary Shares on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Parabellum Warrant immediately prior to the effective time under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated September 27, 2021, by and between Parabellum and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) (the “Existing Warrant Agreement”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Holdco Warrants”).
The Exchange
At the Closing (as defined below), prior to giving effect to the Holdco-Parabellum Business Combination, pursuant to the Shareholder Undertaking (as defined below), and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2:204b of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), each holder (a “Company Shareholder”) of the ordinary shares of EnOcean (the “Company Ordinary Shares”) as of immediately prior to the Closing, will contribute each Company Ordinary Share held to Holdco, in exchange for the Company Per Share Consideration (as defined below) and, subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions described below, the Earnout Shares (as defined below) by, among other things, entering with Holdco into (i) a German Share Transfer Deed in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parabellum, pursuant to which each Company Shareholder will contribute, assign and transfer to Holdco the Company Ordinary Shares owned by such Company Shareholder and (ii) a Dutch Deed of Issue, under which each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing will be exchanged for such number of Holdco Ordinary Shares equal to the Company Per Share Consideration (the “Exchange”). The “Company Per Share Consideration” means, with respect to each Company Ordinary Share, a number of Holdco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio. The “Exchange Ratio” means (i)(a) $
Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Exchange will become fully vested immediately prior to the Closing and will be converted at the Exchange into a fully vested option to purchase a number of shares of the applicable class of Holdco Ordinary Shares (such option, a “Holdco Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of the applicable class of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Exchange and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Exchange divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of the applicable class of Holdco Ordinary Shares underlying the Holdco Options will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A and 424 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Following the Exchange and prior to the Merger Effective Time, the legal form of Holdco will (i) be changed from a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) to a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap), whereby Holdco and (ii) amend and restate the organizational documents of Holdco.
The Earnout Shares
After the Closing, the pre-closing Company Shareholders, including holders of any Company Option which will be converted into Holdco Options, (the “Shareholder Earnout Group”), will have the contingent right to receive additional Holdco Ordinary Shares within five business days after the occurrence of a Share Price Trigger (as defined below). Holdco will issue or caused to be issued an aggregate number of Holdco Ordinary Shares equal to
7
The Shareholder Earnout Group with respect to any Share Price Trigger will be entitled to receive Earnout Shares upon the occurrence of each applicable Share Price Trigger.
“VWAP” means, for any security as of any date(s), the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “HP” function (set to weighted average) or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. If the VWAP cannot be calculated for such security on such date(s) on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of such security on such date(s) will be the fair market value per share on such date(s) as reasonably determined in good faith by a majority of the disinterested independent directors of the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of Holdco at such time. The VWAP targets for the Holdco Ordinary Shares to achieve a Share Price Trigger and the number of shares of Holdco Ordinary Shares to be issued as Earnout Shares will be equitably adjusted for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event affecting the Holdco Ordinary Shares after the date of the Business Combination Agreement. Any fractional Earnout Shares that would otherwise be issuable to any member of the Shareholder Earnout Group will be rounded down to a whole share of Holdco Ordinary Share.
In the event that there is an agreement with respect to (a) any person or any group of persons acting together which would constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of Holdco representing more than
8
closing of such Holdco Sale (in each case, to the extent such Earnout Shares have not previously been issued); provided, that, if the consideration to be received by the holders of Holdco Ordinary Shares in such Holdco Sale includes non-cash consideration, the value of such consideration will be determined in good faith by the board of directors of Holdco.

The closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) will occur as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than

Overview
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules provide that the business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least
13
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.
The Company must complete
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination pursuant to a proxy solicitation, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (b) to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by March 30, 2023 (or such later date if the Company's stockholders approved the extension of the Combination Window), (c) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem
The Company will have until March 30, 2023 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Window”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than
14
extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 8) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $

On October 31, 2022, the Company received a deficiency notice letter from the New York Stock Exchange’s (“NYSE”) Regulation department indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. This section requires Company’s public warrants to maintain a certain selling price level. Due to the low selling price levels of the Company’s public warrants, NYSE issued the notice letter, delisted the warrants and has suspended warrant trading immediately. The Company currently intends to appeal the NYSE Regulation’s determination to delist the warrants.

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 audited financial statements and notes thereto for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statement in conformity with U.S. 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 statement.
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.
Leases
On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The Company assesses its contracts at inception to determine whether the contract contains a lease, including evaluation of whether the contract conveys the right to control an explicitly or implicitly identified asset for a period of time. At the adoption date, the Company recognized a $
16
rate corresponding to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and is amortized over the remaining term of the lease. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements below for additional information related to the adoption of this guidance.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U.S. Treasury Bills. These securities are presented on the condensed balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings on these securities is included in dividend and interest income in the accompanying condensed Statement of Operations and is automatically reinvested. The fair value for these securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.
Through September 30, 2022, the Company did not withdraw any of interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption was accreted to its redemption value at the IPO and is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
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
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, and U.S. Treasury Bills, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
17
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for 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. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The warrants will be re-evaluated for the proper accounting treatment at each reporting period and 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 Class A common stock warrants. At that time, the portion of the liability related to the Class A common stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital (Notes 8 and 9).
Risks and Uncertainties
Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete an Initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, inflation, increases in interest rates, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an Initial Business Combination. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares for the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021 were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of
The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of net income (loss) per share subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. With respect to the accretion of the Class A Shares subject to possible redemption
18
and consistent with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company deemed the fair value of the Class A Common shares subject to possible redemption to approximate the contractual redemption value and the accretion has no impact on the calculation of net income per share.
The Company’s Public Warrants (see Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants could potentially be exercised or converted into common shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. However, these warrants were excluded when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share because the warrants were anti-dilutive as their exercise price was in excess of the average Class A common stock price over the periods presented. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, which establishes new accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to classify most leases as either finance or operating leases and to initially recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2022 using the effective date approach to recognize and measure leases as of the adoption date. The Company has elected to utilize the available practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components as well as the package of practical expedients that allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the adoption date. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, the Company recorded a non-cash transaction to recognize on January 1, 2022 lease liabilities totaling $

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

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

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than
business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement 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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available.
