Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
See Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On March 12, 2021, certain of the Issuers initial stockholders purchased an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of the Issuers Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Class B Common Stock) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share (consisting of 5,630,000 shares of Class B Common Stock purchased by the Sponsor and 40,000 shares of Class B Common Stock purchased by three of the Issuers independent directors). On March 19, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to the fourth independent director of the Issuer at the Sponsors original purchase price. In connection with the Issuers Initial Public Offering (the IPO), the Sponsor entered into investment agreements with each of the Issuers anchor investors on October 4, 2021 pursuant to which such anchor investors purchased in the aggregate 1,450,758 shares of Class B Common Stock from the Sponsor at the Sponsors original purchase price. Such shares of Class B Common Stock would automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the Issuers initial business combination, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Issuers registration statement on Form S-1.
On October 4, 2023, the Issuer consummated its IPO of 23,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share, which included the full exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option.
In a private placement (the Private Placement) that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,400,000 warrants (Private Placement Warrants) at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, or an aggregate purchase price of $9,600,000. Such Private Placement Warrants will become exercisable on the later of: (i) 30 days after the completion of the Issuers initial business combination and (ii) 12 months from the closing of the Issuers IPO.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the IPO deposited in the Issuers SPAC trust account (the Trust Account). If the Issuer does not complete an initial business combination within the period (the Combination Period) allowed by Issuers Current Charter (as defined below), the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.
Pursuant to Letter Agreements (as defined below), each of the Sponsor, Mr. Lebensohn and Mr. Freedman, among others, agreed to waive (i) their redemption rights with respect to their shares of Class B Common Stock and any public shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Issuers initial business combination; (ii) their redemption rights with respect to their shares of Class B Common Stock and any public shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Issuers amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Issuers obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Issuers initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Issuers public shares if the Issuer has not completed an initial business combination within the prescribed time periods; and (iii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any shares of Class B Common Stock held by them if the Issuer does not complete the Issuers initial business combination within the prescribed time periods.
In addition, pursuant to such Letter
Agreements, the Sponsor (and each of the Issuers directors and executive officers, including Messrs. Lebensohn and Freedman) have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their shares of Class B Common Stock (or any shares of
Class A
Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock) until the earlier to occur of (a) one year after the completion of the Issuers initial business combination, or (b) subsequent to the
Issuers initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Issuers Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the consummation of the Issuers initial business combination, or (y) the
date on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Issuers public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor with respect to any such shares of common stock.
As approved by the Issuers stockholders at the special meeting of stockholders held on October 6, 2023, the Issuer filed an amendment to the Issuers amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended by the Certificate of Amendment filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 6, 2023, the Current Charter), which (i) further extended the period of time by which the Issuer has to consummate an initial business combination to July 31, 2024, and (ii) provided for the right of a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock to convert its shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time and from time to time at the election of the holder.
On October 6, 2023, the Sponsor converted 3,000,000 of its 4,139,242 shares of Class B Common Stock into 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Current Charter. The Sponsor does not have redemption rights and is not otherwise entitled to any distribution from the Trust Account by virtue of the Sponsors ownership of Class A Common Stock that it receives by converting Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock.
The source of funds for the acquisitions described above was the working capital of the Sponsor. The securities owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, and, subject to the agreements described below in Item 6, retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake with respect to securities of the issuer may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuers business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuers securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
As both Mr. Lebensohn and Mr. Freedman currently serve as the Issuers Co-Chief Executive Officers and members of the Issuers Board of Directors (Board) and Mr. Freedman currently serves as the Issuers Chief Financial Officer and secretary, each may be involved in making material business decisions regarding the Issuers policies and practices and may be involved in the consideration of various proposals considered by the Board. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), both Mr. Lebensohn and Mr. Freedman intend to resign from their officer positions with the Issuer and Mr. Freedman intends to also resign as a member of the Board.
Other than as described above and in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Item 4, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a), (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons with respect to Rows 7 through 13 of the respective cover pages of the individual Reporting Persons to this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons aggregate percentage of beneficial ownership is approximately 64.2% of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock. Calculations of the percentage of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned assume 5,312,029 shares of Class A Common Stock after giving effect to the redemptions and the conversion, as disclosed in the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 6, 2023.
Each of the Sponsor, Mr. Lebensohn and Mr. Freedman may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 4,139,242 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the New Sponsor (i) has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 3,746,303 shares of the Issuers stock from the Sponsor and each of the anchor investors and 4,160,000 Private Placement Warrants from the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $16,288.27 and (ii) will become the sponsor of the Issuer.

business combination and rights to require the Issuer to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Issuer will not
permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Issuer will bear the expenses incurred in
connection with the filing of any such registration statements. In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor, upon completion of an initial business combination, will be entitled to nominate up to three individuals for

The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7 hereto.

The Anchor Transfer Agreement terminates if the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are not consummated by October 16, 2023 (unless amended), the transfer of the Sponsors shares of Class B Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is not consummated concurrently with the closing of the transaction of contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, or the Sponsors representations and warranties are not true and correct.
The foregoing description of the form of Anchor Transferer Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of such agreements, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 8 hereto.
Non-Redemption Agreements
On or about October 4, 2023, the Sponsor and the New Sponsor entered into agreements (Non-Redemption Agreements) with several unaffiliated third parties in exchange for them agreeing not to redeem certain of the common stock of the Issuer held by them at a meeting called by the Issuer to extend the time the Issuer had to consummate an initial business combination and give holders of shares of Class B Common Stock the right to convert their shares on a one-to-one basis at the option of the holder. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the New Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such investors shares of Class B Common Stock held by the New Sponsor immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such non-redeemed shares through the aforementioned meeting.
