Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 23, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including the securities contained therein), the units (including the securities contained therein) that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans, and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants and any shares of Class A Common Stock, warrants (and underlying Class A Common Stock) that may be issued upon conversion of the units issued as part of the working capital loans and Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the founder shares are entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriters Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised in full on June 28, 2021.

 

The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of 1.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $1,725,000. In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of three and a half percent (3.50%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $4,025,000. The deferred fee was placed in the Trust Account and will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

For a period beginning on June 28, 2021 and ending 12 months from the closing of a business combination, we have granted the underwriters a right of first refusal to act as lead-left book running manager and lead left manager for any and all future private or public equity, convertible and debt offerings during such period. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(E)(i), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of our Registration Statement.

 

Forward Purchase Agreement

 

The Company and Safe Harbor have agreed to pay (jointly and severally) to Midtown East a break-up fee equal to the sum of (i) all quarterly structuring fees and attorney fees and other reasonable expenses related thereto incurred by Midtown East or its affiliates in connection with the Forward Purchase Transaction, plus (ii) $1,000,000, upon the occurrence of an “Additional Termination Event” following the consummation of the Forward Purchase Transaction except where the Additional Termination Event occurred as a result of regulatory items or a material breach of Seller’s obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement. An “Additional Termination Event” is defined under the Forward Purchase Agreement to occur if (a) the Business Combination fails to close on or before the Outside Date (as defined in the Unit Purchase Agreement, and as such Outside Date may be amended or extended from time to time) or (b) the Unit Purchase Agreement is terminated prior to the closing of the Business Combination.
