2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statement.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On October 22, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 11,500,000 Units, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Each Unit consists of 1 share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,639,102 Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,639,102. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, and will expire worthless if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination.
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the Public Offering except that the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable except as defined in the warrant agreement.

Founder Shares
On February 18, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 4,312,500 founder shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.006 per share. On March 22, 2021, the Company issued a dividend of 0.2 Founder Shares for every issued and outstanding Founder Share resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,187,500 Founder Shares. On April 9, 2021, the Company issued the representative an aggregate of 2,000,000 Founder Shares (the “Representative Founder Shares”), of which 260,869 would be forfeited if the over-allotment option was not exercised, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,639. On August 2, 2021, the Sponsor and Representative forfeited for 0 consideration 2,875,000 Founder Shares, which were cancelled, resulting in a decrease in the total number of Founder Shares outstanding from 7,187,500 shares to 4,312,500 shares (see Note 6). On October 12, 2021, the Sponsor and Representative forfeited for 0 consideration 1,437,500 Founder Shares, resulting in a decrease in the total number of Founder Shares outstanding from 4,312,500 shares to 2,875,000 shares, with the Sponsor holding 2,125,000 Founder Shares and the Representative holding 750,000 Representative Founder Shares. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the forfeiture.
The 2,000,000 Representative Founder Shares, which were reduced to 750,000 Representative Founder Shares subsequent to September 30, 2021, have been deemed compensation by FINRA (see Note 8). The excess of the fair value over the purchase price of $9,639, is deemed to be stock compensation, which is considered an offering cost. A value of $4.7424 ($12.6464 post forfeitures) per share was estimated to be the fair value based in comparison to similar transactions. Accordingly, a value of $9,484,857 is considered an element of offering cost of the IPO and is included in Deferred Offering Cost as of September 30, 2021.
The Company’s Founder Shares are subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to lock-up provisions in a letter agreement with the Company entered into by the initial stockholders, and officers and directors. Those lock-up provisions provide that such securities are not transferable or salable until the earlier to occur of: (1) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and (2) subsequent to the initial business combination if the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar
