The membership interests represent the indirect equivalent of Founders Shares which equates to % of the Founders Shares issued and outstanding. The total purchase price paid for the membership interests was $. The Company modified the agreements in February 2024, with the intent to clarify that the Founder Shares are “earned upon the completion of a successful Business Combination” and the modified agreement is to be effective contemporaneously with the date and time of the initial subscription agreements. The sale of the membership interests to the Company’s management, directors and director’s nominees is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date.
On January 22, 2024, one of the subscription agreements representing an indirect equivalent of Founders Shares or % of the Founders Shares (with over-allotment) issued and outstanding was terminated and $ was paid to the subscriber as a result of the termination of the agreement.
