In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-249415) related to the IPO, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 9, 2020 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”):

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Unit Subscription Agreements, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 900,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9,000,000. The Private Placement Units (and the underlying securities) are identical to the Units sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale.
