NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2023

Note 1 - Description of Organization, Business Operations and Liquidity

Organization and General

FAST Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on December 30, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 30, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for an initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is FAST Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 15, 2021. On March 18, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.6 million, inclusive of $7.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). The Company granted the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering (the “underwriter”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part and, on March 26, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 2,233,687 units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $22.3 million (the “Over-Allotment”), and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $1.2 million, inclusive of approximately $0.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.0 million. The Company consummated a second closing (the “Second Closing”) of the Private Placement simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on March 26, 2021, for an additional 297,825 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of approximately $0.4 million (see Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placement, $222.3 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and are invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

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. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company will provide the holders (the “Public Stockholders”) of the Company’s Public Shares 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, subject to applicable law and stock exchange listing requirements. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account. The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

On March 3, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”), in which the Company’s stockholders voted to approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”) to (i) change the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from March 18, 2023 (the “Current Outside Date”) to June 18, 2023 (the “Extended Date”), and (ii) to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board, to elect to further extend this date in one-month increments (the “Additional Extended Date”), up to four additional times (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

In connection with the Extension Amendment, 15,098,178 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock were redeemed for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.1498 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $153.24 million. Following such redemptions, 7,135,509 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock remain outstanding and approximately $72.42 million remain in the Company’s Trust Account.

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the initial Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by June 18, 2023 (taking into account the extension and, as such period may be extended by the Company’s stockholders or without another stockholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board, in accordance with the amended Certificate of Incorporation, the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, 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.

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The initial stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 or potentially less. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) not will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern Consideration

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $675,000 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of approximately $3.7 million (not taking into account approximately $50,000 of tax liabilities that may be withdrawn from the Trust Account and excluding the working capital loan -related party.)

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on the Company’s behalf in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of $100,000 under a promissory note (the “Note” as discussed in Note 4). The Company repaid the Note in full upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity through March 31, 2023 has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Working Capital Loan (as defined in Note 4). As of March 31, 2023, a total of $1.1 million of principal was outstanding under the Working Capital Loan. At any time on or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, at the option of the lender, any outstanding amount of the Working Capital Loan may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The Working Capital Loan does not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor, if not converted, on the effective date of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” management has determined that liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to complete the proposed Business Combination with Falcon prior to the liquidation date, June 18, 2023, or such further date as determined by the Company’s board. The Sponsor continues to have cash on hand that could be available for loans to the Company. The Sponsor has no obligation to provide further funding to the Company. Management believes it could obtain additional funding from the Sponsor.

No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 18, 2023, or such further date as determined by the Company’s board. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Proposed Business Combination

On July 11, 2022, the Company (or “SPAC” or “Acquiror”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Original Merger Agreement”) with Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Falcon”), Palm Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Falcon (“Pubco”), and Palm Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”). On January 31, 2023, SPAC, Falcon, Pubco and Merger Sub entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), which amended and restated the Original Merger Agreement in its entirety.

Pursuant to the Original Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the business combination will be effected in two steps: (a) Acquiror will merge with and into Pubco (the “SPAC Merger”), with Pubco surviving as the sole owner of Merger Sub (sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”), followed by a contribution by Pubco of all of its cash to Merger Sub to effectuate the “UP-C” structure; and (b) on the date immediately following the SPAC Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Falcon (the “Acquisition Merger,” and collectively with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”), with Falcon as the surviving entity of such merger. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement (the “Closing,” and the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”), the direct interests in Falcon will be held by Pubco and the holders of common units of Falcon (the “Falcon Units”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Mergers.

The Original Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur:

(i) At the effective time of the SPAC Merger, (a) each SPAC Unit outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the SPAC Merger will be automatically detached and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one share of SPAC Class A Common Stock and one-quarter of a SPAC Warrant; (b) each current share of SPAC Class A Common Stock will be automatically exchanged for the right to receive (x) 0.5 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 0.5 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of Pubco (“Pubco Preferred Stock”) and (y) 50% of the Additional SPAC Share Consideration; (c) each share of SPAC Class A Common Stock converted from the SPAC Class B Common Stock of FAST Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to the Class B Exchange (described below) will automatically be exchanged for one newly issued share of Pubco Class A Common Stock; and (d) each SPAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger effective time will be assumed by Pubco.

(ii) Immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, following the SPAC Merger, the Surviving Corporation will contribute to Merger Sub all of the Closing Surviving Corporation Cash.

(iii) At the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, (a) each issued and outstanding Falcon Unit (other than the Cancelled Units and Falcon Financing Units) will be converted into the right to receive (x) a number of shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and a number of limited liability company interests of Falcon (“New Falcon Units”), in each case equal to the Acquisition Merger Exchange Number (the “Per Unit Consideration”) and (y) the applicable portion of any Seller Earnout Shares (defined below); (b) each Falcon Unit issued in connection with the Falcon Financing (the “Falcon Financing Units”) will be converted into the right to receive (x) the Per Unit Consideration and (y) a number of shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and a number of New Falcon Units, in each case equal to the Additional Consideration Number (the “Additional Falcon Financing Unit Consideration”); (c) each Falcon Unit held in treasury of the Falcon as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition Merger (collectively, the “Cancelled Units”) will be cancelled without any conversion and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto; (d) the units of Merger Sub that are issued and outstanding will be converted into and become (x) a number of New Falcon Units equal to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger, (y) a number of Preferred Units equal to the number of shares of Pubco Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger and (z) a number of warrant units equal to the number of Pubco Warrants outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger, in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) through (z) after giving effect to the redemption of any shares of SPAC Common Stock in connection with the Offer, the Class B Exchange and the Conversion.

Holders of Falcon Units immediately before the Closing also will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of a total of up to (i) 40,000,000 New Company Units and 40,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock of Pubco (together, the “Seller Earnout Shares”), in each case that will be deposited into escrow at the Closing and be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of certain milestones related to the volume weighted average closing sale price of shares of Pubco Common Stock (“Pubco Common Share Price”) during the five-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the Acquisition Merger Closing and ending on the six-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”). 15,000,000 of the Seller Earnout Shares will vest and be released from escrow if the Pubco Common Share Price is at least $20 for 20 trading days during any 30-consecutive trading day period; another 15,000,000 of the Seller Earnout Shares will vest and be released from escrow if the Pubco Common Share Price is at least $25 for 20 trading days during any 30-consecutive trading day period; and the final 10,000,000 of the Seller Earnout Shares will vest and be released from escrow if the Pubco Common Share Price is at least $30 for 20 trading days during any 30-consecutive trading day period, in each case during the Earnout Period.

The obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Merger”) are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions. Either party may terminate the Merger under certain circumstances. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, in certain circumstances, Falcon will pay to the Company a termination fee equal to (i) $12,500,000 if the Company’s redeemed public share percentage is less than 90% or is unknown or (ii) $6,250,000 if the Company’s redeemed public share percentage is known and is equal to or greater than 90%.

On September 13, 2022, the Company, Falcon, Pubco and Merger Sub entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Original Merger Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”), pursuant to which the parties thereto extended the date by which Falcon is required to deliver to the Company PCAOB Audited Financial Statements from August 15, 2022 to September 28, 2022, and the date on which the Company could terminate the Merger Agreement if the PCAOB Audited Financial Statements have not been delivered from September 14, 2022 to September 28, 2022.

In connection with the execution of the Original Merger Agreement, the Sponsor, Falcon, Pubco and Acquiror entered into an agreement (the “Original Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to waive its conversion and anti-dilution rights with respect to its shares of SPAC Common Stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement, vote (or cause to be voted), or execute and deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be executed and delivered) covering, all of its SPAC Common Stock (i) in favor of the Mergers and each other proposal related to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) against any merger agreement or merger (other than the Original Merger Agreement and the Mergers), consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by Acquiror, (iii) against any change in the business, management or the board of directors of Acquiror (other than in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Original Merger Agreement), and (iv) against any proposal, action or agreement that would (w) impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Original Merger Agreement or any Merger, (x) result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Acquiror or the Merger Sub under the Original Merger Agreement, (y) result in any of the conditions set forth in the Original Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (z) change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of capital stock of, Acquiror.

The Sponsor further agreed to, immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition Merger, deliver to Acquiror for cancellation and for no consideration the Sponsor Redemption Forfeited Shares, which is calculated as 40% of Sponsor’s SPAC Class B Common Stock multiplied by the SPAC Redeemed Share Percentage, and the Additional Incentive Forfeited Shares. Thereafter, the Sponsor Earnout Shares, which is 50% of the difference between (i) 40% of Sponsor’s SPAC Class B Common Stock and (ii) the Sponsor Redemption Forfeited Shares, are to be deposited into one or more escrow accounts, and will vest and be released from escrow to the Sponsor upon satisfaction of certain milestones related to the Pubco Common Share Price during the Earnout Period. Any Sponsor Earnout Shares that do not so vest prior to the Earnout Period End Date will be delivered to Pubco and cancelled for no consideration.

Amended Merger Agreement

On January 31, 2023, the Company, Falcon, Pubco and Merger Sub entered into the A&R Merger Agreement, which amended and restated the Original Merger Agreement in its entirety to, among other things, provide for the following:

●

Changes to Acquisition Merger Consideration: The number of shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and New Falcon’s Units to be issued in exchange for current Falcon Units (excluding Falcon Financing Units) in the Acquisition Merger has been reduced from 88,653,263 to 48,587,077.

●

EBITDA and Revenue Earnouts: In addition to the 40 million Seller Earnout Shares earned based on the Pubco Common Share Price provided for in the Original Merger Agreement, the holders of Falcon Units immediately before the Closing (other than the holders of Falcon Financing Units in their capacity as holders of Falcon Financing Units) will now be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of a total of up to 40 million additional Seller Earnout Shares based on Pubco’s achievement of specified EBITDA and revenue targets in 2023 and 2024. Up to 2% of the 80 million Seller Earnout Shares will be allocated to each the Sponsor and Jefferies LLC if they are earned.

●

Changes to Sponsor Consideration:

●

80% of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor are now subject to forfeiture pro rata based on the amount of funds available at the Acquisition Merger Closing that are primarily sourced by the Company and the Sponsor (including funds in the Trust Account after redemptions) (the “SPAC Capital Received”), measured against a target amount of $222,336,870; provided the Sponsor will retain a minimum of 1,250,000 Founder Shares. The Sponsor will continue to forfeit the remaining 20% of its Founder Shares but will now have the opportunity to earn them back (as well as any shares forfeited based on SPAC Capital Received) based on achievement of the Pubco Common Share Price, Pubco revenue and Pubco EBITDA earnout targets.

●

The Sponsor further agreed to forfeit 50% of its Private Placement Warrants if SPAC Capital Received is less than $50 million and to amend the warrant agreement to provide that its Private Placement Warrants are redeemable (subject to the concurrent redemption of other warrants) at a redemption price of $0.01 per warrant if the Reference Value (as defined below) is at least $18 per share (the “Warrant Agreement Amendment”). “Reference Value” means the last reported sales price of the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for any twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given.

●

Extension: The Company agreed to take certain actions to extend the date by which it has to complete a Business Combination to October 18, 2023 (the “Extension”). Infinite Acquisitions LLLP, a majority equity holder of Falcon (“Infinite”), agreed to fund up to $2,000,000 of expenses related to the Extension pursuant to the Promissory Note, described in more detail below.

●

Termination: The termination date (the “Termination Date”) was extended from April 11, 2023 to September 30, 2023. The Company’s termination right if fails to deliver its audited financial statements by a specified date was eliminated. Termination rights in favor of the Company were added in the case where Infinite defaults under the Promissory Note or if Falcon enters into certain specified interim financing arrangements (the “Interim Financing Termination”). Mutual termination rights were added in the case where, following a cure period, the Company is not listed on an approved exchange or is in default of the listing requirements of the exchange it is listed on (the “Delisting Termination”) or if the closing condition related to the listing of Pubco shares on an approved exchange is not satisfied following the satisfaction of all other closing conditions (the “Pubco Listing Termination”).

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

●

Termination Fee: The Company will be entitled to a termination fee of $12,500,000 (minus 50% of any amounts funded by Infinite under the Promissory Note) at the time of termination if the A&R Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason specified in the A&R Merger Agreement other than: (i) mutual agreement of Falcon and the Company; (ii) the Company’s breach of the A&R Merger Agreement in a manner that causes the failure of a condition to Closing under the A&R Merger Agreement (when Falcon is not also in breach); (iii) the consummation of either Merger is permanently enjoined or prohibited by the terms of a final, non-appealable governmental order or other law if the final, non-appealable governmental order or other law is generally applicable to all special purpose acquisition companies or primarily caused by any action or inaction of the Company; (iv) stockholders fail to approve the Business Combination at the special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose; (v) if the Company’s board changes its recommendation to stockholders or fails to recommend the Merger in the proxy statement; (vi) pursuant to the Delisting Termination; or (vii) failure to close by the Termination Date or two days after the Special Meeting (when the Falcon is not in breach). In addition, no termination fee will be payable at any time Falcon could terminate the A&R Merger Agreement pursuant to the Delisting Termination or because of the Company’s breach of the A&R Merger Agreement in a manner that causes the failure of a condition to Closing under the Merger Agreement. The termination fee will be reduced by 50% and payable at any time within 12 months of termination instead of at the time of termination if the A&R Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to the Interim Financing Termination or the Pubco Listing Termination or is terminated at a time when the Company or Falcon could terminate the A&R Merger Agreement pursuant to the Pubco Listing Termination.

●

Alternative Financing: The Company may enter into one or more agreements with any investor to effect certain Pre-Approved Financing Arrangements (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) without any consent or approval required from Falcon.

The A&R Merger Agreement also makes certain technical and other changes to the Original Merger Agreement. The foregoing description of the A&R Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the A&R Merger Agreement. The A&R Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties, and covenants that the parties to the A&R Merger Agreement made to each other as of the date of the A&R Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties, and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the A&R Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the A&R Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the A&R Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the A&R Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the A&R Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements and other terms of the A&R Merger Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the A&R Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

On January 31, 2023, in connection with the A&R Merger Agreement, the Company, Sponsor, Falcon and Pubco entered into an Amended and Restated Sponsor Support Agreement whereby, among other things, the Sponsor agreed (i) to exchange its shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation such that, prior to the Merger Effective Time, there shall cease to be outstanding any shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, (ii) to forfeit a portion of its founder shares and private placement warrants to the extent and as described above and (iii) to support the Warrant Agreement Amendment.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2023, or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 29, 2023.

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 an emerging growth 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limits of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.

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 no cash equivalents held outside the Trust Account as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Investments Held in Trust Account

In March 2023, the Company liquidated the U.S. “government securities” held in the Trust Account. The funds in the trust account will be maintained in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and liquidation. Prior to liquidating the U.S. “government securities”, the Company’s portfolio of investments was comprised of 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments were classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of money market funds, the investments were recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds were presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities were included in income (loss) from investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account were determined using available market information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed 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 condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of income 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 condensed 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” equals or approximates the fair values for such assets and liabilities either because the short-term nature of the instruments or because the instrument is recognized at fair value (See Note 9).

Fair Value Measurements

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 consist of:

●

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.

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Working Capital Loan - Related Party and Convertible Promissory Note

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for its working capital loan-related party with its Sponsor as defined and more fully described in Note 4, in addition to its Promissory Note with Infinite as described in Note 5. As a result of applying the fair value option, the Company records each draw at fair value with a gain or loss recognized at issuance, and subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as change in the fair value of working capital loan-related party and convertible promissory note on the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The fair value is based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s and, if applicable, an independent third-party valuation firm’s own assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Black-Scholes Merton model. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were charged against the carrying value of the shares of Class A common stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and Over-Allotment. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including shares of Class A 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events, accordingly, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 7,135,509 and 22,233,687 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets, respectively.

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under ASC 480-10-S99, the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security.

Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Subsequently, the Company recognized changes in the redemption value as an increase in redemption value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as reflected on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred tax assets with a full valuation allowance against them.

ASC 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees are measured at grant-date fair value of the awards and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. For awards that have a performance condition, compensation cost is measured based on the grant date fair value and recognized when the performance condition becomes probable. The Company assesses the probability of the performance conditions being met on a continuous basis. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. No compensation expense for share-based payment awards has been recognized to-date.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The calculation of diluted net income per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 9,856,247 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. The Company has considered the effect of Class B shares of common stock that were excluded from the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding as they were contingent on the exercise of over-allotment option by the underwriters. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share of common stock:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statement.

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

On March 18, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.6 million, inclusive of $7.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each 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 8).

The underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part, and on March 26, 2021, purchased additional 2,233,687 units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $22.3 million, and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $1.2 million, inclusive of approximately $0.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On January 6, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. The initial stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On March 26, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option to purchase 2,233,687 additional units, for a total of 22,233,687 Units; thus, the initial stockholders forfeited 191,578 shares of Class B common stock accordingly. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,558,422 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, none subject to forfeiture.

The initial stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the last reported sales price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.0 million. On March 26, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an additional 297,825 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a Second Closing, generating proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On January 6, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed $100,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, the loan was no longer available.

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

On May 4, 2022, the Sponsor provided a $600,000 Working Capital Loan to the Company in the form of a convertible promissory note that is due upon the completion of a Business Combination. At any time on or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, at the option of the lender, any outstanding amount of the Working Capital Loan may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. On July 20, 2022, the Company borrowed an additional $500,000 from the Sponsor and amended the convertible promissory note to increase the principal balance to $1.1 million. The Working Capital Loan does not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor, if not converted, on the effective date of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses. Due to the conversion feature within the Working Capital Loan, the estimated fair value of the Working Capital Loan was $1,082,597 and $1,094,749, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively (Note 9).

Administrative Service Agreement

Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange and continuing until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, to the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the Company’s management team. The Company incurred approximately $45,000 in administrative expenses under the agreement, which is recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, within general and administrative expense - related party. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $15,000 reported in accounts payable with related party was outstanding in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

The Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or their affiliates. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no such outstanding balance presented in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders were entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $0.35 per unit, or $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the Over-Allotment on March 26, 2021, the underwriter was entitled to an additional fee of approximately $447,000 paid upon closing, and an approximately $782,000 in deferred underwriting commissions.

On January 31, 2023, the engagement letter between the Company and the underwriter was amended to provide that in lieu of the fees under the original engagement letter and underwriting agreement, at the closing of the business combination with Falcon described in Note 1, the underwriter will be entitled to a fee $7,775,000 (inclusive of amounts owed as deferred underwriting commission from the Initial Public Offering and for acting as financial and capital markets advisor to the Company), an additional one-time discretionary fee of $1,000,000 under certain circumstances, and the right to receive a portion of the Seller Earnout Shares. A portion of the fees may be deferred until up to two years after the closing of the business combination with Falcon.

Consulting Agreement

On June 13, 2022, the Company engaged a contractor (the “Contractor”) to perform technical diligence in exchange for a cash consideration of $125,000, with $50,000 paid upon execution and $75,000 payable upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Sponsor’s agreement to issue membership interest in the Sponsor that, in aggregate, represent an indirect economic interest in 25,000 Founder Shares, upon completion of the services. The grant date fair value of the Sponsor membership interests issued to the Contractor is compensation expense for the Company, and a contribution from the Sponsor to the Company for the same amount and is recognized upon completion of the services by the Contractor. Management estimated that the grant date fair value of the indirect economic interest in 25,000 Founder Shares was de minimis.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and concludes that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target business, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. On December 27, 2022, the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued a Notice 2023-2 (“Notice”), which provided interim guidance regarding the application of the corporate stock repurchase excise tax until the issuance of proposed regulations. The Notice excluded the distributions complete liquidation of a corporation from the base of the excise tax. The Notice also excludes from the scope of the excise tax any distribution made during the taxable year in which a corporation fully liquidates and dissolves, even if a distribution precedes the formal decision to liquidate.

On March 1, 2023, the Company’s stockholders redeemed 15,098,178 shares of Class A shares of common stock for a total of $153,243,487. The Company evaluated the classification and accounting of the stock redemption under ASC 450, “Contingencies”. ASC 450 states that when a loss contingency exists the likelihood that the future event(s) will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability can range from probable to remote. A contingent liability must be reviewed at each reporting period to determine appropriate treatment. The Company evaluated the current status and probability of completing a Business Combination as of March 31, 2023 and concluded that it is probable that a contingent liability should be recorded. As of March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $1,532,435 of excise tax liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed on March 1, 2023.

Stockholder Meeting, Amendments, Redemptions and Trust Deposits

On March 3, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”), in which the Company’s stockholders voted on the following proposals at the Stockholder Meeting, each of which were approved.

●

Proposal 1. To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”) to (i) change the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination from the Current Outside Date to the Extended Date, and (ii) to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board, to elect to further extend this date in one-month increments, up to four additional times (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

●

Proposal 2. To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the right of a holder of SPAC Class B Common Stock of to convert into SPAC Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”).

●

Proposal 3. To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to delete: (i) the limitation that the Company shall not consummate a Business Combination if it would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001; and (ii) the limitation that the Company shall not redeem public shares that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”).

On March 10, 2023, the Company filed amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the proposals.

Also, in connection with approval of the Extension Amendment and the extension of the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination to June 18, 2023, the Company caused $750,000, or approximately $0.1051 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock outstanding after giving effect to the redemptions disclosed above, to be deposited in the Company’s Trust Account. Such funds were provided by Infinite Acquisitions LLLP pursuant to the Promissory Note as described below.

Without approval of the Public Stockholders, the Company may, by resolution of the Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon 2 business days’ advance notice prior to the Extended Date or Additional Extended Date, as applicable, extend the Extended Date up to four additional times until October 18, 2023, or a total of up to seven months after the Current Outside Date, provided that we deposit into the Trust Account, for each such additional month, an amount determined by multiplying $0.05 by the number of public shares then outstanding, up to a maximum of $250,000, which the Company shall deposit into the Trust Account at the beginning of each month (the “Monthly Deposit”), for an aggregate deposit of up to $1.75 million (if all additional extensions are exercised). For so long as the Merger Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination has not been consummated, our Board will extend the Extended Date for the next calendar month.

Stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and holders of shares of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders except as required by law.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the initial 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 Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Note 8 - Warrants

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,558,422 Public Warrants and 4,297,825 Private Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised in whole and only for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60^th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after 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, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) 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.

The “fair market value” per share of Class A common stock for the above purpose shall mean the volume-weighted average price per share of Class A common stock during the ten trading days ending on the third trading day immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment).

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of 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 $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, but only on a cashless basis, prior to redemption and receive that number of shares 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 closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per 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 closing price of 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.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Transfers to/from Level 3 measurements are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The fair value measurement of the derivative warrant liabilities - Public warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement as they became separately listed and traded in May 2021.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 Level 1 assets included investments in U.S. Treasury. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

For periods where no observable traded price was available, the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, was determined using Level 3 inputs. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Public Warrants was determined by their listed trading price and the fair value of Private Placement Warrants was estimated by employing a Black-Scholes Merton formula and a Monte Carlo simulation analysis.

FAST ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recognized income of approximately $2.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, from a decrease in the derivative warrant liabilities, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Inherent in the Monte Carlo simulations and Black-Scholes Merton model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different. The Company estimated the volatility of its common stock warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. As of March 31, 2023, the Company estimated the volatility of its Private Warrants based on the implied volatility of the Company’s Public Warrants determined running simulations of the Public Warrant price. A significant increase or decrease in volatility alone could have a significant impact on the valuation. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on December 30, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is FAST Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 15, 2021. On March 18, 2021, we consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.6 million, inclusive of $7.0 million in deferred underwriting commissions. We granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part and, on March 26, 2021, we consummated the sale of an additional 2,233,687 Private Placement Units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $22.3 million (the “Over-Allotment”), and incurring additional offering costs of approximately $1.2 million, inclusive of approximately $0.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.0 million. We consummated a second closing of the Private Placement simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on March 26, 2021, for an additional 297,825 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment and the Private Placement, $222.3 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and were initially invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, and are presently in a bank deposit account, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Our 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 we will be able to complete a business combination successfully. We must complete one or more initial business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. However, we will only complete a business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

If we are unable to complete a business combination by June 18, 2023 (as such period may be further extended by our board of directors or our stockholders in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation (as amended), the “Combination Period”), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, 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.

Recent Events

On March 3, 2023, we held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”), in which our stockholders voted on the following proposals at the Stockholder Meeting, each of which were approved.

●

Proposal 1. To approve and adopt an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”) to (i) change the date by which we must consummate a business combination from March 18, 2023 to June 18, 2023 (the “Extended Date”), and (ii) to allow us, without another stockholder vote, by resolution of our board, to elect to further extend this date in one-month increments (the “Additional Extended Date”), up to four additional times (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

●

Proposal 2. To approve and adopt an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the right of a holder of Class B common stock of the Company to convert into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a business combination at the election of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”).

●

Proposal 3. To approve and adopt an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to delete: (i) the limitation that the Company shall not consummate a business combination if it would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001; and (ii) the limitation that the Company shall not redeem public shares that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”).

On March 10, 2023, we filed amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the proposals. The amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation were filed with a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2023.

In connection with the Extension Amendment, 15,098,178 shares of our Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock were redeemed for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.1498 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $153.24 million. Immediately following such redemptions, 7,135,509 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock remained outstanding and approximately $72.42 million remained in our Trust Account before the deposit of funds by us as described in the following paragraph.

Also, in connection with approval of the Extension Amendment and the extension of the date by which we must consummate a business combination to June 18, 2023, we caused $750,000, or approximately $0.1051 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock outstanding after giving effect to the redemptions disclosed above, to be deposited in the Trust Account. Such funds were provided by Infinite pursuant to the Promissory Note.

Without approval of our holders of our Public Shares, we may, by resolution of the Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon 2 business days’ advance notice prior to the Extended Date or Additional Extended Date, as applicable, extend the Extended Date up to four additional times until October 18, 2023, or a total of up to seven months after the Current Outside Date, provided that we deposit into the Trust Account, for each such additional month, an amount determined by multiplying $0.05 by the number of public shares then outstanding, up to a maximum of $250,000, which the Company shall deposit into the trust account at the beginning of each month (the “Monthly Deposit”), for an aggregate deposit of up to $1.75 million (if all additional extensions are exercised). For so long as the Merger Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination has not been consummated, our Board will extend the Extended Date for the next calendar month.

We have entered into the Promissory Note with Infinite, whereby Infinite agreed to lend the Company up to $2.0 million for the sole purpose of paying the fees and expenses of the Company or the Sponsor incurred or committed to be incurred in furtherance of the Extension, which amount would be sufficient to fund up to approximately $1.5 million of the Company’s potential additional deposits into the trust account. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and repayable in cash, or, at Pubco’s option, in shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, at the effective time of the Business Combination and will be forgiven without payment if the Merger Agreement is terminated. Any additional deposits into the trust account beyond the amount covered under the Promissory Note are expected to be funded from the Company’s working capital account, which may be funded by working capital loans from our Sponsor, that would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination or, at the Sponsor’s discretion, be converted into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant.

Proposed Business Combination

On January 31, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be further amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Falcon’s”), Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Falcon’s which was formerly known as Palm Holdco, Inc. (“Pubco”), and Palm Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement amended and restated the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 11, 2022, by and among the Company, Falcon’s, Pubco and Merger Sub (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 13, 2022 as previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 16, 2022, the “Original Merger Agreement”).

If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are completed, the business combination will be effected in two steps: (a) at 8:01 a.m., New York City time, on the date immediately following the Closing Date (the “SPAC Merger Effective Time”), the Company will merge with and into Pubco (the “SPAC Merger”), with Pubco surviving as the sole owner of Merger Sub, followed by a contribution by Pubco of all of its cash (except for cash required to pay certain transaction expenses) to Merger Sub to effectuate the “UP-C” structure; and (b) at 8:02 a.m., New York City time, on the date immediately following the SPAC Merger (the “Acquisition Merger Effective Time”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Falcon’s (the “Acquisition Merger,” and collectively with the SPAC Merger, the “Business Combination”), with Falcon’s as the surviving entity of such merger. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), the direct interests in Falcon’s will be held by Pubco and the holders of the limited liability company units of Falcon’s (the “Falcon’s Units”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Business Combination.

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur:

(i) On the date that is three business days after the date on which all conditions to Closing have been satisfied or waived by the applicable parties (other than those conditions which can be satisfied only at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at Closing) or such other time and place as may be agreed by Falcon’s and the Company (the “Closing Date”), each share of Class B common stock will convert into one share of Class A common stock (such conversion, the “Class B Exchange”) and shares of Class A common stock for which redemption rights were exercised will be redeemed.

(ii) At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, (a) first, each Unit outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time will be automatically separated and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one share of Class A common stock and one-quarter of one warrant; (b) second, (1) each current share of Class A common stock (except for each share of Class A common stock converted from the Class B common stock pursuant to the Class B Exchange) will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange (the “Conversion”) for the right to receive (x) 0.5 shares of Pubco’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Pubco Class A Common Stock”) and 0.5 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Pubco (the “Pubco Series A Preferred Stock”) and (y) 50% of the Additional SPAC Share Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (2) each share of Class A common stock converted from the Class B common stock pursuant to the Class B Exchange will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive (A) one newly issued share of Pubco Class A Common Stock and (B) the applicable portion of any Earnout Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and (3) each warrant of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time will be assumed by Pubco on substantially the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time.

(iii) Immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, following the SPAC Merger, Pubco will contribute to Merger Sub all of the Closing Surviving Corporation Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

(iv) At the Acquisition Merger Effective Time, (a) each issued and outstanding Falcon’s Unit (other than the Cancelled Units and Falcon’s Financing Units (each as defined below)) will be converted into the right to receive (x) a number of shares of Pubco’s non-economic Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Pubco Class B Common Stock”), and a number of limited liability company interests of Falcon’s (the “New Falcon’s Units”), in each case equal to the Acquisition Merger Exchange Number (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the “Per Unit Consideration”) and (y) the applicable portion of any Earnout Shares and Earnout Units (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (b) each Falcon’s Unit issued in connection with the subscription for and purchase of Falcon’s Units by Infinite Acquisitions LLLP (the “Falcon’s Financing Units”) will be converted into the right to receive (x) the Per Unit Consideration and (y) a number of shares of non-economic Pubco Class B Common Stock and a number of New Falcon’s Units, in each case equal to the Additional Consideration Number (as defined in the Merger Agreement; (c) each Falcon’s Unit held in treasury of Falcon’s as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time (collectively, the “Cancelled Units”) will be cancelled without any conversion and no payment or distribution will be made with respect to such Cancelled Units; (d) the units of Merger Sub that are issued and outstanding will be converted into and become (x) a number of New Falcon’s Units equal to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger, (y) a number of preferred units of Falcon’s equal to the number of shares of Pubco Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger and (z) a number of warrant units of Falcon’s equal to the number of warrants of Pubco outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger, in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) through (z) after giving effect to the redemption of any shares of common stock of the Company in connection with the exercise of redemption rights, the Class B Exchange and the Conversion.

The Merger Agreement provides for the following changes from the Original Merger Agreement:

●

Changes to Acquisition Merger Consideration: The number of shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock and New Company Units to be issued in exchange for current Falcon’s Units (excluding Falcon’s Financing Units) in the Acquisition Merger was reduced from 88,653,263 to 48,587,077.

●

EBITDA and Revenue Earnouts: In addition to the 40 million Seller Earnout Shares earned based on the Pubco Common Share Price provided for in the Original Merger Agreement, the holders of Falcon’s Units immediately before the Closing (other than the holders of Falcon’s Financing Units in their capacity as holders of Falcon’s Financing Units) will now be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of a total of up to 40 million additional Seller Earnout Shares based on Pubco’s achievement of specified EBITDA and revenue targets in 2023 and 2024. Up to 2% of the 80 million Seller Earnout Shares will be allocated to each of Sponsor and Jefferies LLC if they are earned.

●

Changes to Sponsor Consideration:

80% of the founder shares held by the Sponsor are now subject to forfeiture pro rata based on the amount of funds available at the Acquisition Merger Closing that are primarily sourced by the Company and the Sponsor (including funds in the Trust Account after redemptions) (the “SPAC Capital Received”), measured against a target amount of $222,336,870; provided the Sponsor will retain a minimum of 1,250,000 founder shares. The Sponsor will continue to forfeit the remaining 20% of its founder shares, but will now have the opportunity to earn them back (as well as any shares forfeited based on SPAC Capital Received) based on achievement of the Pubco Common Share Price, Pubco revenue and Pubco EBITDA earnout targets.

The Sponsor further agreed to forfeit 50% of its private placement warrants if SPAC Capital Received is less than $50 million and to amend the Warrant Agreement to provide that its private placement warrants are redeemable (subject to the concurrent redemption of other warrants) at a redemption price of $0.01 per warrant if the Reference Value (as defined below) is at least $18 per share (the “Warrant Agreement Amendment”). “Reference Value” means the last reported sales price of the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for any twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given.

●

Extension: The Company agreed to take certain actions to extend the date by which it has to complete a Business Combination to October 18, 2023 (the “Extension”). Infinite agreed to fund up to $2,000,000 of expenses related to the Extension pursuant to the Promissory Note, described in more detail above.

●

Termination: The Termination Date was extended from April 11, 2023 to September 30, 2023. The Company’s termination right if fails to deliver its audited financial statements by a specified date was eliminated. Termination rights in favor of the Company were added in the case where Infinite defaults under the Promissory Note or if Falcon’s enters into certain specified interim financing arrangements (the “Interim Financing Termination”). Mutual termination rights were added in the case where, following a cure period, the Company is not listed on an approved exchange or is in default of the listing requirements of the exchange it is listed on (the “Delisting Termination”) or if the closing condition related to the listing of Pubco shares on an approved exchange is not satisfied following the satisfaction of all other closing conditions (the “Pubco Listing Termination”).

Termination Fee: The Company will be entitled to a termination fee of $12,500,000 (minus 50% of any amounts funded by Infinite under the Promissory Note) at the time of termination if the A&R Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason specified in the Merger Agreement other than: (i) mutual agreement of Falcon’s and the Company; (ii) the Company’s breach of the Merger Agreement in a manner that causes the failure of a condition to Closing under the Merger Agreement (when Falcon’s is not also in breach); (iii) the consummation of either Merger is permanently enjoined or prohibited by the terms of a final, non-appealable Governmental Order or other Law if the final, non-appealable Governmental Order or other Law is generally applicable to all special purpose acquisition companies or primarily caused by any action or inaction of the Company; (iv) the Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the Special Meeting; (v) if the Company’s board changes its recommendation to stockholders or fails to recommend the Merger in the proxy statement; (vi) pursuant to the Delisting Termination; or (vii) failure to close by the Termination Date or two days after the Special Meeting (when the Falcon’s is not in breach). In addition, no termination fee will be payable at any time Falcon’s could terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to the Delisting Termination or because of the Company’s breach of the Merger Agreement in a manner that causes the failure of a condition to Closing under the Merger Agreement. The termination fee will be reduced by 50% and payable at any time within 12 months of termination instead of at the time of termination if the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to the Interim Financing Termination or the Pubco Listing Termination, or is terminated at a time when the Company or Falcon’s could terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to the Pubco Listing Termination.

●

Alternative Financing: The Company may enter into one or more agreements with any investor to effect certain Pre-Approved Financing Arrangements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) without any consent or approval required from Falcon’s.

On January 31, 2023, in connection with the Merger Agreement, our Sponsor, the Company, Falcon’s and Pubco entered into an Amended and Restated Sponsor Support Agreement whereby, among other things, our Sponsor agreed (i) to exchange its shares of the Company Class B Common Stock for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation such that, prior to the Merger Effective Time, there shall cease to be outstanding any shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, (ii) to forfeit a portion of its founder shares and private placement warrants to the extent and as described above and (iii) to support the Warrant Agreement Amendment.

In addition, the Company and Infinite entered into the Promissory Note pursuant to which Infinite agreed to advance up to $2,000,000 to the Company, with any advances under the Promissory Note to be used by the Company to pay certain expenses of the Extension. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and repayable, in cash, or, at Pubco’s option, in shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger and will be forgiven without payment if the Merger Agreement is terminated.

Additional information regarding Falcon’s and the Business Combination is available in the proxy statement/prospectus most recently filed by Pubco with the SEC on February 14, 2023.

Going Concern Consideration

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $675,000 in our operating bank account and a working capital deficit of approximately $3.7 million (not taking into account approximately $50,000 of tax liabilities that may be withdrawn from the Trust Account and excluding the working capital loan -related party).

Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on the Company’s behalf in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), and loan proceeds from the Sponsor of $100,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). We repaid the Note in full upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity through March 31, 2023 has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Working Capital Loan of $600,000. In July 2022, we received another $500,000 under the Working Capital Loan from our Sponsor, for a total of $1.1 million of outstanding principal balance. At any time on or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, at the option of the lender, any outstanding amount of the Working Capital Loan may be converted into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

In connection with our management’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” management has determined that the liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our management intends to complete the proposed Business Combination with Falcon within the Combination Period. Our Sponsor continues to have cash on hand that could be available for loans to us. Our Sponsor has no obligation to provide further funding to us. Our management believes we could obtain additional funding from our Sponsor.

No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after June 18, 2023. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Our management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements and the specific impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from inception to the Initial Public Offering was in preparation for our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since the Initial Public Offering our search for an initial business combination and actions in furtherance of the proposed business combination described above under “—Overview—Proposed Business Combination”. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of approximately $2.7 million, which consisted of approximately $2.1 million of a non-operating gain resulting from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $0.2 million of change in fair value of working capital loan and convertible promissory note and approximately $2.0 million in income from investments held in Trust Account, offset by approximately $1.1 million of general and administrative expenses, $45,000 of general and administrative expenses - related party, $50,250 for franchise tax expenses and approximately, and approximately $413,000 of income tax expenses.

On March 10, 2023, 15,098,178 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock were redeemed for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.1498 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $153.24 million. Following such redemptions, 7,135,509 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock remain outstanding and approximately $72.42 million remained in the Company’s trust account before the deposit of funds by the Company in the amount of $750,000, or approximately $0.1051 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock outstanding after giving effect to the redemptions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had an income of approximately $5.0 million, which consisted of approximately $5.4 million of non-operating gain resulting from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, partially offset by approximately $237,000 of general and administrative expenses, $45,000 of general and administrative expenses - related party, approximately $49,000 for franchise tax expenses and approximately $60,000 of loss from investments held in Trust Account.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders were entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. $0.35 per unit, or $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become 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.

In connection with the consummation of the Over-Allotment on March 26, 2021, the underwriters were entitled to an additional fee of approximately $447,000 paid upon closing, and an approximately $782,000 in deferred underwriting commissions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proposed business combination described above under “-Overview-Proposed Business Combination” is consummated, the underwriter will be entitled to a fee totaling totaling $7,775,000 (inclusive of amounts owed as deferred underwriting commission from the Initial Public Offering and for acting as financial and capital markets advisor to the Company), such amount being held in the Trust Fund until the consummation of such business combination, as well as an additional one-time discretionary fee of $1,000,000 under certain circumstances and the right to receive a portion of the Seller Earnout Shares. A portion of the fees may be deferred until up to two years after the closing of the business combination with Falcon.

Such amounts will not be adjusted to account for redemptions of the Company’s Class A common stock by the public stockholders. Accordingly, the amount of effective total underwriting commissions as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds from the Initial Public Offering will increase as the number of shares of Class A common stock redeemed increases.

Consulting Agreement

On June 13, 2022, we engaged a contractor (the “Contractor”) to perform technical diligence in exchange for a cash consideration of $125,000, with $50,000 paid upon execution and $75,000 payable upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and our Sponsor’s agreement to issue membership interest in the Sponsor that, in aggregate, represent an indirect economic interest in 25,000 Founder Shares of our company, upon completion of the services. The grant date fair value of the Sponsor membership interests issued to the Contractor is compensation expense for us, and a contribution from our Sponsor to us for the same amount and would be recognized upon completion of the services by the Contractor. Management estimated that the grant date fair value of the indirect economic interest in 25,000 Founder Shares was de minimis.

Promissory Note with Infinite Acquisitions LLLP

On March 10, 2023, the Company caused $750,000, or approximately $0.1051 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock outstanding after giving effect to the redemptions disclosed above under “—Overview—Charter Amendments and Redemptions”, to be deposited in the Company’s Trust Account. Such funds were provided by Infinite Acquisitions LLLP pursuant to the Promissory Note described in the proxy statement for the special meeting of stockholders of the Company that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 identified the following critical accounting policies:

Investments Held in Trust Account

Our portfolio of investments is comprised of 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in income (loss) from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Working Capital Loan - Related Party and Convertible Promissory Note

We have elected the fair value option to account for its working capital loan-related party with our Sponsor and convertible promissory note. As a result of applying the fair value option, we record each draw at fair value with a gain or loss recognized at issuance, and subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as change in the fair value of working capital loan-related party and convertible promissory note on the statements of operations. The fair value is based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s and, if applicable, an independent third-party valuation firm’s own assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

We account for the warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrant was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date, and as of March 31, 2023, a Black-Scholes Merton model and Monte Carlo Simulation analysis has been employed. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including shares of Class A 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 7,135,509 and 22,233,687 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

As described above under “—Overview—Charter Amendments and Redemptions”, on March 10, 2023, 15,098,178 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock were redeemed for cash. As a result, as of March 10, 2023, 7,135,509 shares of Class A common stock remain issued and outstanding and subject to possible redemption.

Under ASC 480-10-S99, we have elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security.

Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Subsequently, the Company recognized changes in the redemption value as an increase in redemption value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as reflected on the accompanying statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per common share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net income per common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of the over-allotment option) and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 9,856,247 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. We have considered the effect of Class B shares of common stock that were excluded from the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding as they were contingent on the exercise of over-allotment option by the underwriters. Since the contingency was satisfied, we have included these shares in the weighted average number as of the beginning of the period to determine the dilutive impact of these shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period 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 management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 covered by this report 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

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

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

On January 6, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The initial stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On March 26, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option to purchase 2,233,687 additional units, for a total of 22,233,687 Units and forfeited 191,578 shares of Class B common stock. As of March 31, 2023, there were 5,558,422 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, none subject to forfeiture.

On March 18, 2021, we closed our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million. We granted the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in part, and on March 26, 2021, purchased 2,233,687 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $22.3 million.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $6.0 million (see Note 4). We consummated a second closing of the private placement simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on March 26, 2021, for an additional 297,825 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant, generating proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.

We incurred approximately $11.6 million of offering costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering, inclusive of $7.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering as described in our final prospectus dated March 15, 2021, which was filed with the SEC, though the amount available has decreased as a result of redemptions.
