(f) The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company. Bryant B. Edwards is a citizen of the United States.

The aggregate purchase price for the Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was $5,300,000. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Sponsor.

In connection with the organization of the Issuer, on August 7, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares”) for a purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.00435 per share.

On September 17, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 50,000 founder shares each to Marwan Abedin and two former director nominees, at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share, none of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full. The Sponsor subsequently repurchased the 100,000 founder shares from the two former director nominees and 25,000 founder shares from Mr. Abedin at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share. On March 5, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 founder shares to each of Jayesh Chandan and Amir Kazmi at the same price of approximately $0.00435 per share, none of which are subject to forfeiture if the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full. On April 8, 2021, the Sponsor returned to the Issuer for cancellation, at no cost, an aggregate of 1,150,000 founder shares. This resulted in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 4,600,000 founder shares prior to initial public offering (“IPO”), of which up to 600,000 were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor if the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full.

On April 14, 2021, I-Bankers Securities, Inc., the underwriter of the Issuer’s IPO, partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 750,000 public units. As a result of the over-allotment option being only partially exercised, 412,500 founder shares were forfeited on April 15, 2021, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 4,187,500 founder shares.

On April 13, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the Issuer’s IPO, the Sponsor purchased 515,000 units (“Placement Units”) of the Issuer at $10.00 per Placement Unit, pursuant to an Unit Subscription Agreement, dated April 8, 2021, by and between the Issuer and the Sponsor (the “Subscription Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Each Placement Unit consists of one subunit and one half of one warrant; each subunit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter of one warrant; each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (as described more fully in the Issuer’s Final Prospectus dated April 8, 2021). On April 14, 2021, simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 15,000 additional Placement Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $150,000.

The Class A ordinary shares owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Class A ordinary shares from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Class A ordinary shares held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors, subject to certain lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below.

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer is a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Under various agreements between the Issuer and the Reporting Persons as further described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons have agreed (A) to vote their shares in favor of any proposed business combination; (B) not to redeem any subunits included in the units sold in the IPO (the “public subunits”) in connection with a shareholder vote (or tender offer) to approve (or in connection with) (i) a proposed initial business combination or (ii) an amendment to certain provisions of the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation; and (C) not to redeem any founder shares or the subunits comprising the Placement Units in connection with the liquidation of the trust account if the Issuer fails to complete an initial business combination within 12 months from the completion of its IPO. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position, change their purpose or formulate plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer.

(a)-(b) The aggregate number and percentage of Class A ordinary shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (based on the number of Class A ordinary shares (17,447,500) and Class B ordinary shares (4,287,500) issued and outstanding as of March 29, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on March 31, 2022) are as follows: 

Bryant B. Edwards, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Issuer, is the sole manager of the Sponsor and has voting and investment discretion with respect to the Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor. As such, he may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Class A ordinary shares held directly by the Sponsor. Such person disclaims any beneficial ownership of the reported shares other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest he may have therein, directly or indirectly. Certain officers and directors of the Issuers are, directly or indirectly, a member of the Sponsor.

(c) None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions of the Issuer’s Class A ordinary shares during the 60 days preceding the date of this report, except as described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D which information is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Unit Subscription Agreement between the Issuer and Sponsor

On April 13, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the Issuer’s IPO, the Sponsor purchased 515,000 Placement Units pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. On April 14, 2021, simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 15,000 additional Placement Units.

The description of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.4 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on April 14, 2021 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1). 

Insider Letter

On April 8, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement (the “Insider Letter”). Pursuant to the Insider Letter, the Sponsor agreed (A) to vote its founder shares, any Class A ordinary shares underlying the Placement Units and any public shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose an amendment to the Issuer’s memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) prior to the consummation of a business combination unless the Company provides public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public subunits upon such approval in accordance with such Charter, (C) not to redeem any founder shares and any public subunits into the right to receive cash from the trust account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Issuer’s proposed initial business combination and (D) that the founder shares and any subunits underlying the Placement Units shall not participate in any distribution of the trust account.

The Sponsor also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the trust account of the Issuer (as defined in the Insider Letter), it will indemnify the Issuer for any debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Issuer for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Issuer, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debt or obligation does not reduce the amount of funds in the trust account below $10.10 per share; provided that such indemnity shall not apply (i) if such vendor or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the trust account, or (ii) as to any claims under the Issuer’s obligation to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities.

The description of the Insider Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC April 14, 2021 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2).
