Exhibit 99.4
DIAMONDHEAD HOLDINGS CORP.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
DiamondHead Holdings Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DiamondHead Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2022 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations
DiamondHead Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “DHHC”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on October 7, 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 not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity from the Company’s inception to December 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering (as described below), the search for a prospective 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 on investments held in trust from the proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and Private Placement described below, and from changes in the fair value of its derivative warrant liability.
On September 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Hestia Merger Sub, Inc., a South Carolina corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of DHHC (“Merger Sub”), and Great Southern Homes, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“GSH”), pursuant to which the Company expects to effect a business combination with GSH through the merger of Merger Sub with and into GSH (the “Merger”), with GSH surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), the Company expects to be renamed United Homes Group, Inc. The obligations of the Company, Merger Sub and GSH to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, which are further described in the Business Combination Agreement.
The Company’s sponsor is DHP SPAC-II Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 25, 2021. On January 28, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.6 million, of which approximately $12.1 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 6).
On August 10, 2022, the underwriter from the Initial Public Offering resigned from its role in any Business Combination and waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of $12.1 million.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 5,933,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to our Sponsor and to certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors, including certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc. and Millennium Management LLC (each, an “Anchor Investor”), generating proceeds of $8.9 million (Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $345.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, 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 a Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. 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 sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) 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. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption have been recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transactions 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. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. 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 of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, 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 agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The Company will have 30 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or July 28, 2023, to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). the Company filed If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 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 and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less 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), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Sponsor agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its affiliates acquire Public Shares after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter agreed to waive its right to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) 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 assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
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 for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims (i) by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account or (ii) under our indemnity of the underwriter of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. 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, prospective target businesses or 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. Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, will not execute agreements with the Company waiving claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.
Proposed Business Combination
On September 10, 2022, the Company entered into the GSH Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub and GSH, pursuant to which the Company expects to effect a business combination with GSH through the merger of Merger Sub with and into GSH (the “Merger”), with GSH surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the consummation of the GSH Business Combination, the Company expects to be renamed United Homes Group, Inc. The obligations of the Company, Merger Sub and GSH to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, which are further described in the GSH Business Combination Agreement.
The Company cannot assure that the plans to complete the GSH Business Combination will be successful. Further, the Company may need to pursue third party financing, among other things, to satisfy the closing condition that at Closing, the amount of Closing DHHC Cash be equal to or exceed $125,000,000 (the “Minimum Cash Condition”). However, there can be no assurance that any third-party financing will be entered into in connection with the GSH Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that the Minimum Cash Condition will be satisfied. If the Minimum Cash Condition is not satisfied, amended or waived by GSH pursuant to the terms of the GSH Business Combination Agreement, then the GSH Business Combination would not be consummated.
Trust Account Redemptions and Extension of Combination Period
On January 25, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which such stockholders voted to extend the time the Company has to consummate an initial Business Combination from January 28, 2023 to July 28, 2023. In connection with such vote, the holders of an aggregate of 30,058,968 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate of approximately $304 million in cash held in the Trust Account.

The Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of up to $300,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Promissory Note (see Note 5), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Promissory Note was repaid on February 1, 2021. In addition, in order to 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, provide the Company Working Capital Loans up to $1,500,000 (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.
In October 2022, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to two affiliates of the Sponsor for an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000. As of December 31, 2022, there was an outstanding balance of $204,110 under these promissory notes including $4,110 of accrued but unpaid interest through December 31, 2022.
In connection with management’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements-Going Concern,” management has determined that the existing liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate on or after July 28, 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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 consolidated financial statements 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 because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the United States and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete a business combination and the value of the Company’s securities.
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.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of these types of risks and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues 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 consolidated 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.
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. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents held outside the Trust Account.
Investments Held in Trust Account
The Company’s 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 Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s 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 consolidated 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 are included in income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using quoted market prices.
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 Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000 and investments held in the Trust Account. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets.
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 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.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase its Class A common stock, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480, and FASB 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 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative 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 until they are exercised. Their re-measurement to fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and the Private Placement Warrants have been measured at fair value using a modified Black-Scholes model. As of and December 31, 2022 and 2021, the value of the Public Warrants is measured based on the listed market price of such warrants since being separately listed and traded. 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 consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock were charged against the carrying value of the Class A common stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. 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
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that features 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 is 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 the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption 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. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company 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 recognizes changes in redemption value in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' deficit.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements 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.
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 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. 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.
Net Income (Loss) 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 (loss) income per common stock is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.
The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 14,558,333 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. 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 presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock.
| | For the Year Ended | | | For the Year Ended | |

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 Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - Initial Public Offering
On January 28, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units, including 4,500,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.6 million, of which approximately $12.1 million is included in deferred underwriting commissions.
On August 10, 2022, the underwriter from the Initial Public Offering resigned from its role in any Business Combination and waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of $12.1 million.
Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors, generating proceeds of $8.9 million.
Each Private Placement Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants 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 proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Placement Warrants.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On October 21, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000 on behalf of the Company to cover certain offering costs in exchange for issuance of 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). Additionally, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer an aggregate of 1,250,625 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors for the same price originally paid for such shares. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 8.
The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up 1,125,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter’s option to purchase additional units was not exercised in full, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On January 28, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option; thus, these 1,125,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor and the Anchor Investors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date 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 shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On October 21, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering (the "Promissory Note"). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and due upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $130,000 under the Promissory Note. On February 1, 2021, the Company repaid the Promissory Note in full. Subsequent to repayment, the facility is no longer available to the Company.
On October 18, 2022, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to two affiliates of the Sponsor for an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000. The promissory notes bear interest on the outstanding principal balance at 10% per annum, are not convertible and are repayable in full upon the earlier of: (i) April 28, 2023 or (ii) the date on which the Company closes the Proposed Business Combination. As of December 31, 2022, there was an aggregate outstanding balance of $204,110 under the promissory notes including $4,110 of accrued but unpaid interest through December 31, 2022.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to 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 would 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s 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. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.
Administrative Support Agreement
The Company agreed, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support. The Sponsor has not received any reimbursement of these fees through December 31, 2022.
Sponsor Support Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a sponsor support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with the Company and GSH, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to, among other things, (i) vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company all of its Class B common stock, (the “Sponsor Shares”) and any securities acquired after the execution of the Sponsor Support Agreement, in favor of each Transaction Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Transactions and (iii) be bound by certain transfer and redemption restrictions with respect to such Sponsor Shares, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.
The Sponsor has also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer approximately 2.1 million Sponsor Earn Out Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) until such shares are released under the Sponsor Support Agreement. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, Sponsor Earnout Shares will be released in three tranches upon the occurrence of the following milestones during the period commencing on the 90th day following the date (the “Closing Date”) on which the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) occurs and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date: (i) a one-time issuance of 7,500,000 Earnout Shares on the first date on which the volume weighted average price of DHHC Shares over any 20 trading days within the preceding 30 consecutive trading day period (as adjusted, the “VWAP Price”) is greater than or equal to $12.50 (“Triggering Event I”); (ii) a one-time issuance of 7,500,000 Earn Out Shares on the first date on which the VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 (“Triggering Event II”); and (iii) a one-time issuance of 5,000,000 Earn Out Shares on the first date on which the VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $17.50 (“Triggering Event III”, together with Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II, the “Earn-Out Milestones”). Any such Sponsor Earnout Shares not vested prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date will be deemed to be forfeited.
The Sponsor has also agreed that in the event that Closing DHHC Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) is less than $100,000,000, up to 1.0 million Sponsor Shares will be designated as Sponsor Earnout Shares, subject to the same release conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph. In addition, members of the Sponsor have made a commitment to purchase and not redeem an aggregate of 2.5 million Public Shares.
The Sponsor has also agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement, to forfeit approximately 1.8 million Sponsor Shares and approximately 50% of its Private Placement Warrants.
Financing Commitment Letter
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, we entered into a financing commitment letter (the “Financing Commitment Letter”) with the Sponsor, David T. Hamamoto, our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and an affiliate of our Sponsor, and Antara Capital, an affiliate of our Sponsor, pursuant to which David T. Hamamoto and Antara Capital (collectively, the “Investors”) will commit to, or cause their respective affiliates to, purchase and not redeem at least in the aggregate 2.5 million DHHC Class A Common Shares. Specifically, the Investors have agreed, among other things, severally, and not jointly, subject to certain terms and conditions, (i) to purchase (in open market transactions or otherwise), or to cause one or more of its controlled affiliates to purchase, and beneficially own no less than 1,250,000 DHHC Class A Common Shares, no later than the date that is five (5) business days prior to the special meeting of our stockholders to consider matters relating to the proposed Merger and (ii) following such purchases, not to sell, contract to sell, redeem or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, the acquired shares or the economic ownership of the acquired shares at any time prior to the consummation of the Transactions. The acquired shares will not be subject to any restrictions on transfer or disposition.
In the event an Investor fails to make the committed purchase, the defaulting investor will automatically forfeit 1,250,000 DHHC Class B Common Shares it is entitled to receive in connection with the Closing for the benefit of the non-defaulting Investor or its designated controlled affiliates.
Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (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 signed upon the effective date of Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities were 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. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, upon completion of the Merger, the Company (which expects to be named United Homes Group, Inc. at that time), the Sponsor, certain securityholders of the Company and certain former stockholders of GSH will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, UHG agrees to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the registrable securities under the A&R Registration Rights Agreement within 45 days of the Closing. Up to two times in any 12-month period, certain legacy DHHC securityholders and legacy GSH stockholders may request to sell all or any portion of their registrable securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, so long as the total offering price is reasonably expected to exceed $10,000,000. The combined company will also provide customary “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will provide that UHG will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the securityholders against certain liabilities.
Further, each securityholder party to the A&R Registration Rights Agreements agrees not to transfer any of their registrable securities subject to lock-up transfer restrictions (as described in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement) until the end of the applicable Lock-Up Period (as defined in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement) subject to certain customary exceptions described therein.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On January 28, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.
The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $6.9 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter was entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $12.1 million in the aggregate.
Effective as of August 10, 2022, the underwriter from the Initial Public Offering resigned and withdrew from its role in any Business Combination and waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of approximately $12.1 million. The Company recognized approximately $11.8 million of the commissions waiver as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit for the year ended December 31, 2022, as this portion represents an extinguishment of deferred underwriting commissions on Public Shares which was originally recognized directly in accumulated deficit. The remaining balance of approximately $272,000 is recognized as a gain from settlement of deferred underwriting commissions on public warrants in the consolidated statements of operations, which represents the original amount expensed in the Company’s initial public offering.
Contingent Fee Arrangement
The Company has entered into certain engagement letters with Zelman Partners LLC (“Zelman”) for financial advice and assistance in connection with its search for a prospective initial business combination. Pursuant to the engagement letters, the Company agreed to pay Zelman a transaction fee in cash of $4,500,000 plus, in the Company’s sole discretion, an additional transaction fee of between $0 to $1,000,000 (collectively, the “Transaction Fees”). The Transaction Fees were contingent upon the closing of a Business Combination and therefore not included as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Additionally, if the Company or any of its affiliates enters into an agreement with respect to the acquisition of all or a portion of a target company in the homebuilding industry (the “Agreement”) and (i) such Agreement is terminated prior to consummation of such acquisition or the acquisition is otherwise not consummated and (ii) the Company receives a payment or other consideration (the “Payment”) at any time related to such termination or non-consummation, the Company agrees to pay to Zelman a transaction fee of the lesser of (i) the Transaction Fee that would have been payable had the sale been consummated and (ii) 25% of such Payment in cash if and when such Payment is made to the Company.
Note 7 - Derivative Warrant Liabilities
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 8,625,000 Public Warrants and 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.
The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies 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 elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemptions 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 Public Warrants:
in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to each warrant holder.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
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 to be determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock except as otherwise described below;
if, and only if, the closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
if the closing price of the 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 we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption for cash, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”, as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. 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.
In addition, if the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to our initial stockholders or their respective affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them, as applicable, prior to such issuance), the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Newly Issued Price.
The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the 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 Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees (except as set forth under “Redemption of Warrants when the Price per Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $10.00”). If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their 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.
Note 8 - Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
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 the occurrence of future events. The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, which were all subject to possible redemption and are classified outside of permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the consolidated balance sheets is reconciled on the following table:

Note 9- Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
Preferred Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, all subject to possible redemption and classified as temporary equity. (See Note 8).
Class B Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Of the 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2020, up to 1,125,000 shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter’s option to purchase additional units was not exercised in full, so that the Sponsor would own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. On January 28, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option; thus, these 1,125,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.
Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, except as required by law.
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination). Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.
Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements
The following tables presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:
| | Fair Value Measured as of December 31, 2022 | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

Derivative private warrant liabilities | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,619,330 | | | $ | 3,619,330 | |
Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement in March 2021, when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in an active market. There were no other transfers to/from levels during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Level 1 assets include investments in mutual funds invested in government securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.
Prior to being publicly traded, the fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering were measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and the Private Placement Warrants have been measured at fair value using a modified Black-Scholes model. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the value of the Public Warrants was measured based on the trading price since the warrants were separately listed and traded. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $7.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation and a Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on the historical volatility of an index of companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield 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.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at their measurement dates:
| | As of December 31, | | | As of December 31, | |
| | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
Exercise price | | $ | 11.50 | | | $ | 11.50 | |
Stock Price | | $ | 10.05 | | | $ | 9.74 | |
Option term (in years) | | | 5.00 | | | | 4.82 | |
Volatility | | | 40 | % | | | 12 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.1 | % | | | 1.3 | % |
The change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities measured utilizing Level 1 and Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, is summarized as follows:
Derivative warrant liabilities at January 1, 2022 - Level 3 | | $ | 3,619,330 | |
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities - Level 3 | | | (2,993,960 | ) |

Note 11 - Income Taxes
The Company’s taxable income primarily consists of interest income on the Trust Account. The Company’s general and administrative expenses are generally considered start-up costs and are not currently deductible.
The income tax provision consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:
| | December 31, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | |
Current | | | | | | | | |
Federal | | $ | 983,430 | | | $ | — | |
State | | | — | | | | — | |
Deferred | | | | | | | | |

Valuation allowance | | | 74,706 | | | | 254,139 | |
Income tax provision | | $ | 983,430 | | | $ | — | |
The Company’s net deferred tax assets were as follows as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:
| | As of December 31,2022 | | | As of December 31,2021 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | | | |
Start-up/Organization costs | | $ | 328,845 | | | $ | 216,490 | |
Net operating loss carryforwards | | | — | | | | 37,649 | |
Total deferred tax assets | | | 328,845 | | | | 254,139 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (328,845 | ) | | | (254,139 | ) |
Deferred tax asset, net of allowance | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ending December 31, 2022 and 2021, the change in valuation allowance was $74,706 and $254,139, respectively.
A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:
| | December 31, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | |
Statutory federal income tax rate | | | 21.0 | % | | | 21.0 | % |
Statutory state rate, net of federal benefit | | | 0.0 | % | | | — | % |
Financing costs | | | — | | | | 3.5 | % |
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities | | | (18.9 | )% | | | (33.9 | )% |
Merger costs | | | 9.9 | % | | | 0.0 | % |
Transaction costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities | | | 0.0 | % | | | 0.0 | % |
Loss upon issuance of private placement warrants | | | (0.7 | )% | | | 0.0 | % |
Change in valuation allowance | | | 0.9 | % | | | 9.4 | % |
Income tax rate | | | 12.2 | % | | | 0.0 | % |
Note 12 - Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent event, other than as described herein or below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
On January 11, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule Section 5620(a) (the “Annual Meeting Rule”) which requires the Company to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within 12 months of the Company’s fiscal year end. The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq. The Notice advises that the Company will have 45 calendar days to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule. On March 16, 2023, Nasdaq advised the Company of its determination to grant the Company an extension until June 29, 2023 to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule by holding a special meeting of stockholders to approve the GSH Business Combination where the Company’s stockholders will also have the opportunity to discuss Company affairs and elect directors. The special meeting was held on March 23, 2023 and served as the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders for purposes of the Annual Meeting Rule. As such, the Company has regained compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule.
As previously announced on March 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) among itself, GSH and a certain group of investors party thereto (the “PIPE Investors”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Investors have agreed to purchase $80,000,000 in original principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and 744,588 shares of Class A common stock in a private placement PIPE investment (the “PIPE Investment”) in connection with the GSH Business Combination. The aggregate gross amount of the PIPE Investment is approximately $75,000,000. The proceeds of the PIPE Investment are expected to be used by the Company to offset redemptions of the Company’s Class A common stock (see “Extension and Redemptions” below for details on redemptions of the Company’s Class A common stock), and may be used by DHHC to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition. The closing of the Note Purchase Agreement is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the GSH Business Combination and subject to other customary closing conditions and terms set forth therein.
On March 23, 2023, in connection with the Company’s efforts to raise funds to meet the Minimum Cash Condition, the Company entered into certain private placement transactions (collectively, the “Share Lock-Up Agreements”) with certain investors who purchased shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on the open market prior to March 16, 2023 (each a “Lock-Up Investor”), pursuant to which, and subject to and conditioned upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Share Lock-Up Agreements, the Company agreed to issue to each Lock-Up Investor 0.25 UHG Class A Common Shares for a purchase price of $0.01, for each share of the Company's Class A common stock held by such Lock-Up Investor at the Closing.
Also, on March 23, 2023, the Company and certain investors (“PIPE Investors”) entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) providing for the purchase by the PIPE Investors at the effective time of the GSH Business Combination of (i) an aggregate of 471,500 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price per share of $10.00, and (ii) for each share of the Company’s Class A common stock purchased by each PIPE Investor, the Company agreed to issue to the applicable PIPE Investor 0.25 UHG Class A Shares for a purchase price of $0.01 per share for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.7 million.
On March 23, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders in lieu of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection with the GSH Business Combination. At the Special Meeting, the GSH Business Combination Agreement was approved, and the stockholders holding 109,426 shares of Class A common stock (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $1.1 million (approximately $10.13 per share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming holders and approximately $43.9 million will remain in the Company’s Trust Account.
On January 10 and February 9, 2023, the Company drew additional amounts of $100,000 from the unsecured promissory notes, respectively, which were issued to two affiliates of the Sponsor on October 18, 2022 (See Note 5). The total outstanding balance of the promissory notes was fully repaid on March 24, 2023.
