On June 23, 2023, GSRM entered into a private placement agreement with certain subscribers (“Subscribers”). Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the Subscribers purchased 4,300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for a subscription receivable (“Subscription Receivable”). The terms of the Subscription Receivable provide that the Subscribers would pay a purchase price of up to $43.3 million if the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeded certain hurdle prices ranging from $10.50 to $11.39 per share over the period from September 2023 through February 2024 (or April 2024 if the Company elected certain extensions). The price paid by the Subscribers would be reduced if the trading price did not exceed the hurdle price and, if the Class

A common stock trading price declined to zero, could have resulted in the Company making a cash payment to the Subscribers of up to $10.9 million (or $12.1 million if the Company elected to extend the observation period).

For purposes of settlement payments under the Subscription Receivable, the notional amount of 5,000,000 shares consisted of (a) the 4,300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold at the closing of the Merger, and (b) 700,000 shares of Class A common stock that were held by the Subscribers prior to the consummation of the Merger. The Subscribers also entered into non-redemption agreements with the Company and received additional shares of Class A common stock in exchange for their commitments not to redeem in connection with the Merger. See the discussion below under GSRM Share Issuance for further information.

The Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Subscribers was recorded in stockholders' equity at a fair value of approximately $13.9 million based on the price of the Company's Class A common stock as the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible at any time by the Subscribers on a 1:1 basis.

The Subscription Receivable represented a hybrid financial instrument comprising a subscription receivable and a compound embedded derivative. The host subscription receivable was recognized at fair value as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. The embedded derivative represented a net cash settled forward contract with a value that is indexed to the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock and was bifurcated pursuant to subtopic ASC 815-15 Embedded derivatives, and was initially recorded as a liability at de minimus fair value at inception, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

On October 11, 2023, the PIPE Agreement was settled with the Subscribers for de minimus consideration. The effects of the settlement resulted in the elimination of the Subscription Receivable and the embedded derivative liability. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized approximately $9.2 million in expenses related to the agreement which includes $0.9 million of cash fees and is included within other (expense) income on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Prior to the Merger, GSRM entered into voting and non-redemption agreements (“Voting and Non-Redemption Agreements”) with unaffiliated third parties (“Non-Redeeming Stockholders”) in exchange for such Non-Redeeming Stockholders, including the Subscribers referenced above, agreeing to either not redeem or to reverse any previously submitted redemption request with respect to an aggregate of 6,833,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock sold in its initial public offering (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis up to eight times by an additional one month each time after July 1, 2023 (each one month extension, a “Monthly Extension”), until March 1, 2024, unless the closing of an initial business combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension”). As noted above the Merger closed on June 30, 2023.

In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Non-Redeemed Shares, GSRM had agreed to issue to the Non-Redeeming Stockholders an aggregate of 68,330 shares (“Commitment Shares”) (representing 1% of the Non-Redeemed Shares) of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Non-Redeeming Stockholders also received 136,660 shares (“Extension Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock in connection with the initial extension. Additionally, a backstop fee was paid immediately upon closing of the Merger, which was paid to all Non-Redeeming Stockholders, except for one investor, to which the Company paid the backstop fee in the form of 454,350 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. In total, the Company issued 659,340 shares of Class A common stock at the closing of the Merger and $18.7 million of cash was paid out of the SPAC trust account proceeds. The cash paid by GSRM to Non-Redeeming Stockholders of $18.7 million reduced GSRM’s trust account balance at closing of the Merger. In connection with the reverse recapitalization, the Company recorded the remaining trust account balance and other net liabilities as an adjustment to accumulated deficit on the consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ (Deficit) Equity. The expenses related to the Non-Redemption Agreements and the SPAC Share Issuance described above have been recognized in the GSRM Statement of Operations as these transactions occurred prior to the Merger.
