On March 8, 2021, our sponsor was issued 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares of Class B common stock subject to forfeiture by our sponsor to the extent that the over-allotment option held by the underwriter of our initial public offering was not exercised in full or in part, so that our sponsor would own, on an basis, 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after our initial public offering (excluding the private placement shares (as defined below) and assuming our sponsor did not purchase any public shares in our initial public offering, which it did not). The underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option on May 28, 2021; thus, these 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

On December 19, 2021, we entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Explore Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Senti Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Senti”). The Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Senti, with Senti surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), the Company will change its name to “Senti Biosciences, Inc.” and its ticker symbol on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) is expected to change to “SNTI.” The date on which the Closing occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.” The proposed business combination with Senti was announced in the Company’s Current Report on Form filed with the SEC on December 20, 2021.

The foregoing descriptions of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by, respectively, the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which was exhibited as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form filed by the Company with the SEC on December 20, 2021, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement Amendment, a copy of which was exhibited as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on February 15, 2022, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates the execution of various additional agreements and instruments on or before the Closing, including, among others, the sponsor support agreement, the Senti support agreements, the PIPE subscription agreements, the agreements and the investor rights agreement, each of which, or the form of which, is described in and exhibited to (whether directly, or as an annexure or exhibit to another document exhibited to) the Current Report on Form filed by the Company with the SEC on December 20, 2021, the terms of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

We believe that the life sciences subsector is undergoing a dramatic transformation due to broad-scale availability of disruptive foundational technologies which enable significant improvements in diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and prediction of health and disease, at an accelerated pace. The pace of innovation is unprecedented throughout history, and we do not see the pace of this innovation subsiding. As a result, the ability to better understand biology – and harness it to diagnose and treat disease – is driving the creation of new markets and the disruption of existing markets throughout the life sciences field. Our focus is on opportunities across the emerging healthcare value chains being created by disruptive technologies, including life sciences tools, enabling-software, synthetic biology and novel drug discovery and development platforms that enable applications in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and advanced We aim to find a disruptive target company and help accelerate value faster than otherwise achievable as a stand-alone company pursuing a traditional IPO path.

Technological innovation is disrupting many markets across the life sciences subsector from basic discovery and translational research to novel diagnostics, vaccines, therapeutics and advanced We believe our management team is well positioned to identify opportunities for the reasons outlined below:

We anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various sources, including our global networks, as well as other sources such as investment bankers and investment professionals. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interestedon an unsolicited basis. Our sponsor, officers and directors and their respective affiliates may also bring to our attention target business candidates that they become aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have.

Although none of our sponsor, officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be allowed to receive any compensation, finder’s fees or consulting fees from a prospective business combination target in connection with a contemplated initial business combination, we do not have a policy that prohibits our sponsor, officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, from negotiating for the reimbursement of expenses by a target business. Some of our officers and directors may enter into employment or consulting agreements with the post-transaction company following our initial business combination (including the proposed initial business combination with Senti). The presence or absence of any such fees or arrangements will not be used as a criterion in our selection process of an initial business combination candidate.

As also noted above, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of an initial business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our sponsor, directors, officers or their respective affiliates may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. There is no limit on the number of shares our sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We do not currently

Any purchases by our sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule of the Exchange Act. Rule has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. Our sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates will not make purchases of common stock if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchases are subject to such reporting requirements.

We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Class A Common Stock upon (i) the completion of our initial business combination, or (ii) a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or business combination activity. Such redemptions, if any, will be made at a price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, in the case of such redemptions), including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise

and income taxes, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting fees we will pay to the underwriter of our initial public offering. The redemption rights include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its public shares. Our sponsor and each of our officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any public shares or private placement shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination or a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, we and our sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock in the open market if we elect to redeem our public shares through a tender offer, to comply with Rule under the Exchange Act.

In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public stockholders not tendering more than a specified number of public shares which are not purchased by our sponsor, which number will be based on the requirement that we may not redeem public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination and after payment of deferred underwriting fees (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. If public stockholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination.

If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial business combination. A quorum for such meeting will consist of the holders present in person or by proxy of shares of outstanding capital stock of the company representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the company entitled to vote at such meeting. Our initial stockholders will count toward this quorum and, pursuant to the letter agreement they entered into with us, our sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, private placement shares and any public shares they hold in favor of our initial business combination (including our proposed initial business combination with Senti). For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our outstanding shares of common stock voted, will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. As a result, assuming all outstanding shares of common stock are voted, in addition to the Founder Shares and private placement shares, we would need only 8,267,251, or approximately 35.9%, of the 23,000,000 public shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have it approved. Assuming only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, in addition to the Founder Shares and the private placement shares, we would need only 900,876, or approximately 3.9%, of the 23,000,000 public shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have it approved. These quorum and voting thresholds, and the voting agreements of our initial stockholders, may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination. Each public stockholder may elect to redeem their public shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against our proposed business combination.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we have only 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering to complete our initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such 24 month period we 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 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 us to pay our franchise and income taxes (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 our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In addition, our sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to the letter agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemptions in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or (ii) with respect to any material provision relating to public stockholders’ rights unless we provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a 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 us to pay our franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. However, we may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination and after payment of deferred underwriting fees (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of public shares such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement described above, we would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of our public shares at such time.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement shares, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the redemption amount received by public stockholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders. We cannot assure you that the actual redemption amount received by public stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. Under Section 281(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), our plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against us to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before we make any distribution of our remaining assets to our public stockholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced 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 value of the trust account assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors, in exercising their business judgment, may choose not to do so if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. As noted above, we have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations and we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the redemption price would not be less than $10.00 per public share.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

As noted above, if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, we 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 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 us to pay our franchise and income taxes (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 our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is our intention, if we have not completed our initial business combination, to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following our 24 month and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with the aforementioned procedures under the DGCL. As such, our public stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them from the trust account (but no more) and any liability of our public stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of our dissolution.

Our public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend any provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to public stockholders’ rights or initial business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of all of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a public stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. In the event we seek stockholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the initial business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the trust account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights as described above. These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, like all provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, may be amended with a stockholder vote.

Our annual reports on Form quarterly reports on Form and current reports on Form as well as any amendments and exhibits to these reports, filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, are available on our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. Alternatively, you may access these reports at the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov.

We will provide stockholders with audited financial statements of Senti as part of the proxy solicitation materials sent to stockholders in the Registration Statement to assist them in assessing Senti’s business and the proposed initial business combination described in this Annual Report and in our Form filed with the SEC on December 20, 2021. These financial statements will be prepared in accordance with GAAP and audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

of cash at closing (as is the case for our proposed business combination with Senti), we will need to reserve a portion of the cash in the trust account to meet such requirements, or arrange for third-party financing. In addition, if a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the trust account or arrange for third-party financing. In the case of our proposed initial business combination with Senti, however, as noted above, certain of our public stockholders have entered into non-redemption agreements to help us satisfy the minimum cash condition in the Business Combination Agreement. Raising additional third-party financing, if required, may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. Furthermore, this dilution would increase to the extent that the anti-dilution provisions of our Class B common stock result in the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock on a greater than basis upon conversion of our Class B common stock at the time of our initial business combination.

The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure. The amount of the deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriter will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial business combination. The amount we will distribute to public stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions and after such redemptions, the value of public shares held by public stockholders will reflect our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting commissions.

Since December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus that causes has spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID- 19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” The pandemic has resulted, and other infectious diseases could result, in a widespread health crisis that has and will continue to adversely affect economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination (including Senti) may also be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete a business combination if continued concerns relating to restrict travel or limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, if vendors and services providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner, or if causes a prolonged economic downturn. The effects of the COVID- 19 pandemic on businesses, and the inability to accurately predict the future impact of the pandemic on businesses, has also made determinations and negotiations of valuation more difficult, which could make it more difficult to consummate a business combination transaction.

The extent to which ultimately impacts our identification and consummation of a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and spread of and actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination (including Senti), may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, our ability to consummate a business combination may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be adversely impacted by and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity and third-party financing being available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The life sciences sector faces specific requirements such as access to labs, involving unique reagents and equipment, which can be adversely impacted by or other pandemics. Access and cost can be adversely impacted, and if a company cannot access critical reagents or provide support and services, this can adversely impact product development or commercialization in the life sciences subsector and related industries. Further, crucial talent and employees may be more difficult to access due to pandemic-related and/or remote working conditions. In addition, a pandemic could limit our ability to access data These risks may also adversely impact our ability to engage in due diligence and successfully complete an initial business combination.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we must complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering. We may not be able to find a suitable target business and complete our initial business combination within such time period. If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we 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 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 us to pay our franchise and income taxes (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 our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. See “—If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share” and other risk factors.

Since the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement shares were (and remain) intended to be used to complete an initial business combination with a target business that had not been identified at the time of our initial public offering, we may be deemed to be a “blank check” company under United States securities laws. However, because we had net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 upon the completion of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement shares and filed a Current Report on Form including an audited balance sheet, demonstrating this fact, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule 419. Accordingly, investors in our securities are not afforded the benefits or protections of those rules. Among other things, this meant our shares were immediately tradable and we have a longer period of time to complete our initial business combination than do companies subject to Rule 419. Moreover, if we were subject to Rule 419, that rule would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in the trust account to us unless and until the funds in the trust account were released to us in connection with our completion of an initial business combination.

If our proposed business combination with Senti is not consummated and we are required to seek another target business for a potential business combination, then we expect to encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities competing for the types of businesses we intend to acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess similar technical, human and other resources to ours, and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous target businesses we could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement shares, our ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, because we are obligated to pay cash for any public shares which our public stockholders redeem in connection with our initial business combination, target companies will be aware that this may present closing risk by reducing the resources available to us for our initial business combination. Additionally, potential target companies may be less inclined to consummate a transaction with us because definitive documentation for such a transaction will preclude any recourse against our trust account, meaning that potential counterparties may determine that they do not have adequate contractual remedies in the event a transaction fails to close. These factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our trust account. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon our liquidation. See “—If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share” and other risk factors.

The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least 24 months following the consummation of our initial public offering, assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We believe that the funds available to us outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate for this period; however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of them to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. If we do not complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our trust account. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon our liquidation. See “—If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share” and other risk factors.

As of December 31, 2021, we have $889,323 available to us outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our sponsor, management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. None of our sponsor, officers or directors, nor any of their affiliates, is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into shares of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. The shares would be identical to the private placement shares. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor, or an affiliate of our sponsor, or our officers and directors, as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. If we require but are unable to obtain these loans, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on our redemption of our public shares. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. See “—If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share” and other risk factors.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where our management team is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we do not complete our initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to a letter agreement, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share, and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust account assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our sponsor’s only assets are securities of our Company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers, directors or members of our sponsor will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our public stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, the amount that would otherwise be received by our public stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

We do not believe that principal activities subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the trust agreement with the trustee of the trust account (the “trust agreement”), the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the funds in the trust account to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. Our securities are not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemptions in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or business combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial business combination, within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, our return of the funds held in the trust account to our public stockholders as part of our redemption of the public shares. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete an initial business combination or may result in our liquidation. If we do not complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our trust account, or less than such amount in certain circumstances.

stockholders from the trust account will be effected automatically by function of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to liquidate the trust account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our public stockholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering before the redemption proceeds of our trust account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from our trust account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption of public shares or liquidation unless we complete our initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their public shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will public stockholders be entitled to distributions if we do not complete our initial business combination.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the end of the 24 month after the closing of our initial public offering in the event we do not complete our initial business combination and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

Our letter agreement with our sponsor, officers and directors contains provisions relating, among other things, to transfer restrictions on our Founder Shares and private placement shares, indemnification of the trust account, waiver of redemption rights and participation in liquidating distributions from the trust account. The letter agreement may be amended without stockholder approval and, pursuant to the sponsor support agreement described in our Current Report on Form filed with the SEC on December 20, 2021 (the form of which is annexed to the Business Combination agreement), such letter agreement has been amended in connection with our proposed initial business combination with Senti. It is possible that our board of directors, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, may choose to approve one or more further amendments to this letter agreement. Any such amendments to the letter agreement do not require approval from our stockholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in our securities.

Although we have identified general criteria and guidelines for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that a target business with which we enter into our initial business combination will not have these positive attributes. If we complete our initial business combination with a target that does not meet some or all of these guidelines, such combination may not be as successful as a combination with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and guidelines. In addition, if we announce a prospective business combination with a target that does not meet our general criteria and guidelines, a greater number of stockholders may exercise their redemption rights, which may make it difficult for us to meet any closing condition with a target business that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash (as is the case for our proposed initial business combination with Senti). In addition, if stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, it may be more difficult for us to attain stockholder approval of our initial business combination if the target business does not meet our general criteria and guidelines. If we do not complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our trust account. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. See “—If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share” and other risk factors.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2021, there are 76,284,500 and 4,250,000 authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock, respectively, available for issuance, which amounts do not take into account the shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of shares Class B common stock and the corresponding reduction in shares of Class B common stock which would occur upon such conversion. As of December 31, 2021, there are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of our Class A Common Stock initially at a ratio but subject to adjustment as set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, including in certain circumstances in which we issue Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities related to our initial business combination (however, it should be noted that in connection with our proposed initial business combination with Senti, the sponsor has waived its right for this conversion ratio to be adjusted in such a manner). Shares of Class B common stock are also convertible at the option of the holder at any time.

We may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete our initial business combination (as is the case for our proposed initial business combination with Senti) or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial business combination. We may also issue shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Class B common stock at a ratio greater than at the time of our initial business combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (although, as noted above, in connection with our proposed initial business combination with Senti, the sponsor has waived its right for this conversion ratio to be adjusted in such a manner). However, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides, among other things, that prior to or in connection with our initial business combination, we may not issue additional shares of capital stock that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the trust account, or (ii) vote on any initial business combination. These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, like all provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, may be amended with the approval of our stockholders. However, our sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or business combination activity, unless we provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A Common Stock at the time of our initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holders, on a basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. 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 our initial public offering and related to the closing of the initial business combination, the ratio at which Class B common stock shall convert into Class A Common Stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance, as the sponsor has in the case of our proposed initial business combination with Senti) 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 basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of our initial public offering (excluding the private placement shares), plus (ii) all shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable (upon the conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or otherwise) by the Company in connection with the initial business combination (excluding any shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private

We anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, consultants and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination (including our proposed initial business combination with Senti), the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may fail to complete our initial business combination for any number of reasons, including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we do not complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our trust account. In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares. See “—If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share” and other risk factors below.

Moreover, we may, at our option, pursue an affiliated joint acquisition opportunity with entities to which an officer or director has a fiduciary, contractual or other obligation or duty. Any such parties may with us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the acquisition by issuing equity to any such parties, which may give rise to certain conflicts of interest.

Our sponsor and each of our officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares or private placement shares owned by them in favor of any proposed initial business combination (including our proposed initial business combination with Senti) and to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination, and (ii) any stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or business combination activity. In addition, we may obtain loans from our sponsor, affiliates of our sponsor or an officer or director. The personal and financial interests of our officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of our business following the initial business combination.

As such, no issuance of debt will affect the amount available for redemption from the trust account. Nevertheless, the incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any of its provisions related to business combination activity (including the requirement to deposit proceeds from our initial public offering and the private placement of shares into the trust account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances, and to provide redemption rights to public stockholders as described therein and including to permit us to withdraw funds from the trust account such that the per share amount investors will receive upon any liquidation is substantially reduced or eliminated) may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock entitled to vote thereon, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the release of funds from our trust account may be amended if approved by holders of 65% of our common stock entitled to vote thereon. In all other instances, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may be amended by holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon, subject to applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules. We may not issue additional securities that can vote on amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our initial stockholders beneficially own approximately 21.9% of our common stock, will participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and/or trust agreement and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. As a result, we may be able to amend the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation which govern our business combination behavior more easily than some other blank check companies, and this may increase our ability to complete an initial business combination with which not all of our stockholders agree. Our stockholders may pursue remedies against us for any breach of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Our sponsor and each of our officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering ,or (ii) with respect to any material provision relating to public stockholders’ rights, unless we provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a 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 taxes, if any), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. Persons who are not party to, or third-party beneficiaries of, this agreement will not have the ability to pursue remedies against our sponsor or any of our officers or directors for any breach of this agreement. As a result, in the event of a breach, such persons would need to pursue a stockholder derivative action, subject to applicable law.

We may target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the private placement shares. As a result, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination (as is the case for our proposed initial business combination with Senti). We cannot assure you that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to complete our initial business combination, we would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. Further, the amount of additional financing we may be required to obtain could increase as a result of future growth capital needs for any particular transaction, the depletion of our available funds outside the trust account in search of a target business, the obligation to repurchase for cash a significant number of public shares from public stockholders who elect redemption in connection with our initial business combination and/or the terms of negotiated transactions to purchase public shares in connection with our initial business combination. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our trust account. Furthermore, as described in the risk factor entitled “If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share,” under certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon the liquidation of the trust account.

Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with which we combine, we cannot assure you that this diligence will reveal all material issues that may be present inside a particular target business (including Senti), that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or assets, restructure our operations or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other financial or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining debt financing to partially finance our initial business combination. Accordingly, any public stockholders who choose to remain stockholders following the initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, relating to the initial business combination constituted an actionable material misstatement or omission.

Our operations are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals, in particular our officers and directors. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our officers and directors, at least until we have completed our initial business combination. We do not have an employment agreement with, or insurance on the life of, any of our directors or officers. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of our directors or officers could have a detrimental effect on us.

Our key personnel may be able to remain with the company after the completion of our initial business combination only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements in connection with the initial business combination. Additionally, they may negotiate reimbursement of any expenses incurred on our behalf prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, should they choose to do so. Such negotiations would take place concurrently with the negotiation of the initial business combination and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to us after the completion of the initial business combination, or as reimbursement for such expenses. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business for our initial business combination. However, we believe the ability of such individuals to remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination will not be the determining factor in our decision as to whether or not we will proceed with any potential business combination. There is no certainty, however, that any of our key personnel will remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with us. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with us will be made at the time of our initial business combination.

Our public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those public shares that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemptions in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of our public shares if we do not complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances will a public stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the trust account.

For instance, our stock price would generally be required to be at least $4.00 per share, our stockholders’ equity would generally be required to be at least $5,000,000 and we would be required to have a minimum of 300 holders of our unrestricted securities (with at least 50% of such holders holding unrestricted securities with a market value of at least $2,500). We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. If Nasdaq delists any of our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, we expect such securities could be quoted on an market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we 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 internal controls attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our 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. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Class A Common Stock held by exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

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 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) 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 a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, 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 our financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our common stock held by exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) our annual revenues exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning with our Annual Report on Form for the year ending December 31, 2022. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because a target company with which we seek to complete our initial business combination (including Senti) may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development of the internal control of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include director terms, the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock, and the fact that, prior to the completion of our initial business combination, only holders of shares of our Class B common stock will have the right to vote in the election of directors, which may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

We do not currently utilize these exemptions and intend to continue to comply with the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq, subject to applicable rules. However, if we determine in the future to utilize some or all of these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.

On March 8, 2021, our sponsor was issued 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate price of $25,000 (i.e. the Founder Shares). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares of Class B common stock subject to forfeiture by our sponsor to the extent that the over-allotment option held by the underwriter of our initial public offering was not exercised in full or in part, so that our sponsor would own, on an basis, 20% of our issued and outstanding shares after our initial public offering (excluding the private placement shares and assuming our sponsor did not purchase any public shares in our initial public offering, which it did not). The underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option on May 28, 2021; thus, these 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

For further information regarding the Business Combination Agreement and our proposed initial business combination with Senti, please refer to “Part I, Item 1. Business” of this Annual Report and the Current Report on Form announcing the proposed business combination, which was filed with the SEC on December 20, 2021.

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from March 1, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering, and, after our initial public offering, identifying target companies for a business combination, conducting due diligence on such target companies and negotiating the Business Combination Agreement with Senti, which we anticipate will give effect to our initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held following our initial public offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance) and we incurred expenses for due diligence in connection with identifying Senti as the target company for our initial business combination.

For the period from March 1, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $1,142,247, which was due to our net loss of $3,857,088, and interest and dividend income on investments held in the trust account, partially offset by changes in working capital of $2,723,625.

We did not have any sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2021.

In connection with our initial public offering, the Company granted the underwriter a option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock to cover over-allotments at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and fees. The underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full on May 28, 2021.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies

We account for our Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, . Shares of Class A Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including 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 our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A Common Stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheet. Immediately upon the closing of the initial public offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of the redeemable Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption resulted in charges against additional capital and accumulated deficit.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) (“ASU to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the method for all convertible instruments. ASU 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 adopted ASU effective January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method of transition. The adoption of ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

This information appears following Item 16 of this Form and is incorporated herein by reference

As required by Rules and under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of September 30, 2021, we reevaluated our prior position on accounting for redeemable common shares and, initially, pursuant to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on November 10, 2021, revised our previously issued financial statements to classify all of our public shares in temporary equity. Subsequent to this, and based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that this reclassification was quantitatively material to the Company’s previously issued financial statements and that, accordingly, it was appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued financial statements, and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in (e) and (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of September 30, 2021 or during part of the quarter ending December 31, 2021.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules and under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the restatement of our prior period financial statements (as discussed above), we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
