As part of the PowerUp initial public offering (“IPO”), PowerUp issued warrants to third-party investors where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, PowerUp completed the private sale of 9,763,333 Private Placement warrants where each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at $11.50 per share. At September 30, 2025, there are 14,374,969 Public Warrants and 9,763,333 Private Placement warrants outstanding.
The Public Warrants became exercisable commencing 30 days after the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable, or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Reverse Acquisition, subject to certain limited exceptions.
The Company has determined that Public warrants and the Private Placement warrants issued in connection with its IPO in February 2022 are subject to treatment as equity. Upon the closing of the Reverse Acquisition, in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, the warrants continue to be equity classified.
Stock based compensation
On February 29, 2024, Aspire Biopharma, Inc entered Corporate advisory agreement with an advisory firm, pursuant to which the advisory firm will receive % of the amount shares outstanding after the close of the Reverse Acquisition as compensation for advisory services to support the Company’s efforts related to the Reverse Acquisition. On January 3, 2025, the agreed upon compensation was reduced to % of the amount of shares outstanding after the close of the Reverse Acquisition. In February 2025, shares of the Reverse Acquisition shares were issued to the affiliated company under this agreement. The issuance of these shares to the service advisors is subject to ASC 718. Under ASC 718, compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Reverse Acquisition). Stock-based compensation of $14,131,250 was recognized in general and administrative expenses upon consummation of the Reverse Acquisition in February 2025 based on the grant date fair value per share. The fair value was determined by applying a % discount for lack of marketability to the market price of the share on date of grant.
