TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF NEWBURY STREET ACQUISITION CORPORATION:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Newbury Street Acquisition Corporation (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”), to be held at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 27, 2022.

The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted via a live webcast. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/newburystreetacquisition/2022.

Even if you are planning on attending the Annual Meeting online, please promptly submit your proxy vote by telephone, or, if you received a printed form of proxy in the mail, by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy, so your shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting. Instructions on voting your shares are on the proxy materials you received for the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting online, it is strongly recommended you complete and return your proxy card before the Annual Meeting date, to ensure that your shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting if you are unable to attend.

The accompanying proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is dated December 7, 2022, and is first being mailed to stockholders of the Company on or about December 9, 2022. The sole purpose of the Annual Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

a proposal to re-elect Jennifer Vescio as the Class A director of the board of directors (the “Board”) until the annual meeting of the Company to be held in 2025 or until her successor is appointed and qualified (the “Director Election Proposal”);

a proposal to ratify the selection by the audit committee of the Board of Marcum LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”); and

such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

Each of the Proposals are more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.

Approval of the Auditor Ratification Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by stockholders represented in person (including virtually) or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on November 28, 2022 (the “Record Date”) as the date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF ALL RELEVANT FACTORS, THE BOARD HAS DETERMINED THAT THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL AND THE AUDITOR RATIFICATION PROPOSAL ARE ADVISABLE AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE OR GIVE INSTRUCTION TO VOTE “FOR” SUCH PROPOSALS.

Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed information concerning the Director Election Proposal, the Auditor Ratification Proposal, and the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

You will be able to attend, vote your shares, and submit questions during the Annual Meeting via a live webcast available at https://www.cstproxy.com/newburystreetacquisition/2022. The Annual Meeting will be held for the sole purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

a proposal to re-elect each of Jennifer Vescio as the Class A director of the board of directors (the “Board”) until the annual meeting of the Company to be held in 2025 or until her successor is appointed and qualified (the “Director Election Proposal”);

a proposal to ratify the selection by the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) of Marcum LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”); and

such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

Our sponsor, Newbury Street Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), owns 3,210,984 shares of our common stock (the “Founder Shares”), that were issued to the Sponsor prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”), and 354,715 private units (the “Private Units”), which were purchased by the Sponsor in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO.

This proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) contains important information about the Annual Meeting and the Proposals. Please read it carefully and vote your shares.

We will pay for the entire cost of solicitation of proxies from our working capital. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our Board and the management of the Company (the “Management”)may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. While the payment of these expenses will reduce the cash available to us to consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire document, including the annexes to this Proxy Statement.

Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?

This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are being sent to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board for use at the Annual Meeting to be held at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 27, 2022, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof. This Proxy Statement summarizes the information that you need to make an informed decision on the Proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card were first sent to our stockholders on or about December 9, 2022.

We are a blank check company formed in Delaware on November 6, 2020, for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination. On March 25, 2021, we consummated our IPO, as well as certain private placement purchases, and a partial exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriter of the IPO, from which we derived gross proceeds of approximately $132.51 million in the aggregate. Following the closing of the IPO, an amount of $128.4 million of the proceeds from our IPO and the private placement was placed in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company (“Continental”), acting as trustee. Like most blank check companies, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) provides for the return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the holders of shares of our common stock sold as part of the units sold in our IPO (whether they are purchased in our IPO or thereafter in the open market) (the “Public Shares”) if there is no Business Combination consummated on or before March 25, 2023.

Why does the Company need to hold an annual meeting?

The Annual Meeting is being held to satisfy the annual meeting requirement of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) requires that we hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors within 12 months after our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

In addition to sending our stockholders this Proxy Statement, we are also sending our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, so that at the Annual Meeting, stockholders may discuss and ask questions of the Company with respect to such annual report.

What is being voted on?

You are being asked to vote on the following Proposals:

•

Director Election Proposal. A proposal to re-elect Jennifer Vescio as the Class A director of the Board until the annual meeting of the Company to be held in 2025 or until her successor is appointed and qualified; and

•

Auditor Ratification Proposal. A proposal to ratify the selection by the Audit Committee of Marcum LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Why should I vote “FOR” the Director Election Proposal?

Ms.Jennifer Vescio has served on our Board since our IPO. Our Board believes that the stability and continuity in our Board is important as we continue to search for and complete the Business Combination.

Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the nominee set forth in the Director Election Proposal.

Why should I vote “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal?

Marcum LLP has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2021. Our Audit Committee and Board believe that stability and continuity in the Company’s auditor is important as we continue to search for and complete the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

What vote is required to adopt the Proposals?

•

Director Election Proposal. The election of the nominee in the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock represented in person (including virtually) or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors.

•

Auditor Ratification Proposal. Approval of the proposal to ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by holders of the Company’s common stock present (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon.

What if I don’t want to vote “FOR” any of the Proposals?

If you do not want the director nominee to be elected, you must withhold or vote against the nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes (as described below) will have no effect on the Director Election Proposal.

If you do not want the Auditor Ratification Proposal to be approved, you must vote against such proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares?

All of our directors, executive officers and their respective affiliates are expected to vote any common stock over which they have voting control in favor of the Director Election Proposal and the Auditor Ratification Proposal. Currently, our Sponsor, Board and Management own 3,565,669 shares of common stock, approximately 21.4% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Does the Board recommend voting for the approval of the Proposals?

The Board recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” the nominee set forth in the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

What interests do the Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have in the approval of the Proposals?

None of the Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the Proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder except that Jennifer Vescio is nominated for re-election as the Class A director.

Do I have appraisal rights if I object to any of the Proposals?

Our stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Proposals under the DGCL.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

As a registered stockholder, you received a proxy card from Continental. The form contains instructions on how to attend the Annual Meeting including the URL address, https://www.cstproxy.com/newburystreetacquisition/2022, along with your 12-digit control number. You will need your control number for access. If you do not have your control number, contact Continental at the phone number or e-mail address below. Beneficial investors who hold shares through a bank, broker or other intermediary, will need to contact them and obtain a legal proxy. Once you have your legal proxy, contact Continental to have a control number generated. Continental’s contact information is as follows: 917-262-2373, or proxy@continentalstock.com.

If you do not have internet capabilities, you can listen to the Annual Meeting by dialing: 1 800-450-7155 (toll-free) within the U.S. and Canada, or: +1 857-999-9155 (standard rates apply) outside of the U.S. and Canada. When prompted, enter the pin number 1320549#. This is a listen-only option, and you will not be able to vote or enter questions during the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How do I change or revoke my vote after I have voted?

You may change your vote by e-mailing a later-dated, signed proxy card to our Chief Executive Officer at Info@NewburyStreetSpac.com, so that it is received by our Chief Executive Officer prior to the Annual Meeting or by attending the Annual Meeting online and voting. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to our Chief Executive Officer, which must be received by our Chief Executive Officer prior to the Annual Meeting.

Please note, however, that if on the Record Date, your shares were held not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, custodian bank, or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. If your shares are held in street name, and you wish to attend the Annual Meeting and vote at the Annual Meeting online, you must follow the instructions included with the enclosed proxy card.

How are votes counted?

•

Director Election Proposal. The director nominees must receive the affirmative vote of a plurality of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock represented in person (including virtually) or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Any shares not voted “FOR” any director nominee (whether as a result of an abstention, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor. A stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote online at the Annual Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of common stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Director Election Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the Director Election Proposal.

•

Auditor Ratification Proposal. The ratification of the appointment of Marcum requires the vote of a majority of the votes cast by our represented in person (including virtually) or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have no effect on this proposal. However, unless you provide instructions on how to vote, your brokerage firm will have the authority to vote your shares on the Auditor Ratification Proposal. See the subsection below entitled “Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?” for more information about broker-non votes.

If my shares are held in “street name”, will my broker automatically vote them for me?

No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee.

We believe the Director Election Proposal presented to the stockholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee, which we refer to as being held in “street name”, you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares.

In contrast, brokerage firms generally have the authority to vote shares not voted by customers on certain “routine” matters, including the ratification of an independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, at the Annual Meeting, your brokerage firm will have the authority to vote your shares on the Auditor Ratification Proposal unless you provide instructions on how to vote.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Holders of a majority in voting power of our common stock on the Record Date issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy, constitute a “quorum”.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote online at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted towards the quorum requirement. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the Annual Meeting has the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, 8,330,901 shares of our common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date, November 28, 2022, are entitled to have their vote counted at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. On this Record Date, 16,661,800 shares of our common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

•

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental, then you are a “stockholder of record”.

•

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on the Record Date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization.

What is the proxy card?

The proxy card enables you to appoint each of Thomas Bushey, our Chief Executive Officer, and Kenneth King, our Chief Financial Officer, as your representatives at the Annual Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing Mr. Bushey or Mr. King to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is strongly recommended that you complete and return your proxy card before the Annual Meeting date in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Annual Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy.

Your shares may be voted under certain circumstances if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm. Brokerage firms generally have the authority to vote shares not voted by customers on certain “routine” matters, including the ratification of an independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, at the Annual Meeting, your brokerage firm will have the authority to vote your shares on the Auditor Ratification Proposal unless you provide instructions on how to vote.

Brokers are prohibited from exercising discretionary authority on non-routine matters. The Director Election Proposal is considered non-routine matters, and therefore brokers cannot exercise discretionary authority regarding this proposal for beneficial owners who have not returned proxies to the brokers (so-called “broker non-votes”).

How can I vote if I am a stockholder of record?

•

Online. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote online at the Annual Meeting.

•

By Mail. You may vote by proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope.

•

By Internet. You may use the internet to vote your proxy. Please have your proxy card available when you access the website at www.cstproxyvote.com and follow the prompts to vote your shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting online, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote online if you have already voted by proxy.

How can I vote if I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

•

Online at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you wish to vote online at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares. Please contact that organization for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy.

•

By mail. You may vote by proxy by filling out the vote instruction form and sending it back in the envelope provided by your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares.

•

By telephone or over the Internet. You may vote by proxy by submitting your proxy by telephone or over the Internet (if those options are available to you) in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card. This is allowed if you hold shares in street name and your bank, broker or other nominee offers those alternatives. Although most banks, brokers and other nominees offer these voting alternatives, availability and specific procedures vary.

You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. For more information, see the subsection above entitled “How do I attend the Annual Meeting?”.

What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

If you sign your proxy card without providing further instructions, your shares of the Company’s common stock will be voted “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal and the nominee set forth in the Director Election Proposal.

How many votes do I have?

Each share of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter that comes before the Annual Meeting. See the section below entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” for information about the stock holdings of our Sponsor, directors and executive officers.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying stockholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

What do I need to do now?

We urge you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this Proxy Statement, and to consider how the Proposals will affect you as our stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this Proxy Statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares of the Company’s common stock.

Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and published in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commissions (the “SEC”) within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies from our working capital. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks, and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. While the payment of these expenses will reduce the cash available to us to consummate the Business Combination, we do not expect such payments to have a material effect on our ability to consummate the Business Combination.

Who can help answer my questions?

TABLE OF CONTENTS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained in this Proxy Statement constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, the Business Combination, our capital resources and results of operations. Likewise, our financial statements and all of our statements regarding market conditions and results of operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “outlook”, “believes”, “expects”, “potential”, “continues”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “seeks”, “approximately”, “predicts”, “intends”, “plans”, “estimates”, “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words or phrases.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

•

our ability to enter into a definitive agreement and related agreements for the Business Combination;

•

our ability to complete the Business Combination;

•

the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination;

•

the volatility of the market price and liquidity of our securities;

•

the use of funds not held in the Trust Account;

•

the competitive environment in which our successor will operate following the Business Combination;and

•

proposed changes in SEC rules related to special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”).

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this Proxy Statement, except as required by applicable law.

For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause our future results, performance or transactions to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see the section below entitled “Risk Factors”, and other reports we file with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our (i) IPO prospectus, (ii) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, and (iii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on May 16, August 8, and November 10, 2022, respectively and (iv) other reports we file with the SEC, before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in the aforementioned filings and below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.

Changes to laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.

We are subject to the laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and, potentially, non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of an initial Business Combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and any post-Business Combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination. The SEC has, in the past year, adopted certain rules and may, in the future adopt other rules, which may have a material effect on our activities and on our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, including the SPAC Rule Proposals described below.

The SEC has recently issued proposed rules relating to certain activities of SPACs. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Business Combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete our initial Business Combination and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial Business Combination. The need for compliance with the SPAC Rule Proposals may cause us to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating, among other things, to disclosures in SEC filings in connection with Business Combination transactions between SPACS such as us and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed Business Combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. The SPAC Rule Proposals have not yet been adopted, \and may be adopted in the proposed form or in a different form that could impose additional regulatory requirements on SPACs. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Business Combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rule Proposals, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs and time of negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial Business Combination. The need for compliance with the SPAC Rule Proposals may cause us to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including potential price appreciation of our securities.

If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead liquidate the Company.

As described further above, the SPAC Rule Proposals relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria, including a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for the Business Combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering (the “IPO Registration Statement”). The company would then be required to complete its Business Combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead liquidate the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including potential price appreciation of our securities.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash items until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since our IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we may, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of our IPO Registration Statement, and we currently expect that we will, following such date, instruct Continental, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account as cash items (which may be interest-bearing to the extent permitted by the trustee of the Trust Account and the applicable rules of the SEC) until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.Upon moving the funds from the Trust Account to cash items, we will maintain the cash items in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). While we intend to place our deposits in high-quality banks, only a small portion of the funds in our Trust Account will be guaranteed by the FDIC. Following the liquidation of the investments in the Trust Account, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as

permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.

BACKGROUND

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 6, 2020, for the purpose of effecting the Business Combination. On March 25, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 12,000,000 units. Each unit consists of one share of common stock share and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock for $11.50 per share. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $120.00 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to certain private units purchase agreement, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 390,000 Private Units to our Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”), representative of the underwriters for our IPO, at a purchase price of $10.00 per private unit (340,000 units to our sponsor and 50,000 units to EBC), generating gross proceeds of $3.90 million. Each Private Unit consists of one private share the (“Private Share”) and one-half of one private warrant (the “Private Warrant”). On March 30, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in part and purchased an additional 843,937 units, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.44 million. In connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, our Sponsor and EBC purchased an aggregate of 16,879 Private Units (14,715 units to our Sponsor and 2,164 units to EBC), generating gross proceeds of $168,790 to the Company.

As of the Record Date, approximately $129.56 million was being held in our Trust Account in the United States maintained by Continental, acting as trustee, invested in U.S. “government securities”, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act.

Required Votes

Director Election Proposal

The election of the nominee in the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock represented in person (including virtually) or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors. Any shares not voted “FOR” any director nominee (whether as a result of an abstention, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor. Accordingly, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, a stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or online at the Annual Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Director Election Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the Director Election Proposal.

PROPOSAL ONE — THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Our Board is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. The term of office of the Class A director, Jennifer Vescio, will expire at this Annual Meeting. The term of office of the Class B directors, Teddy Zee and Matthew Hong, will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023. The term of office of the Class C directors, Kenneth King and Thomas Bushey,will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024.

The Board has nominated Jennifer Vescio for election as a Class A director. The biography of Jennifer Vescio is set forth below under the section entitled “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance”.

Vote Required for Approval

The election of the foregoing director nominee requires a plurality vote of the shares of common stock present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares not voted “FOR” a particular nominee (whether as a result of an abstention, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor.

Unless authority is withheld or the shares are subject to a broker non-vote, the proxies solicited by the Board will be voted “FOR” the election of the foregoing nominee. In case any director nominee becomes unavailable for election to the Board, an event that is not anticipated, the persons named as proxies, or their substitutes, will have full discretion and authority to vote or refrain from voting in accordance with their judgment.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” the election of the director nominee.

PROPOSAL TWO — THE AUDITOR RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

We are asking the stockholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Marcum LLP has audited our financial statements for the period from January 15, 2021 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2021. A representative of Marcum LLP is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting; however, if a representative is present, they will not have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are not expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Marcum LLP for services rendered.

Audit Fees

Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by Marcum LLP in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees of Marcum LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and other required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled approximately $44,290. The aggregate fees of Marcum LLP related to audit services in connection with our IPO totaled approximately $46,350. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at audit committee meetings.

Audit-Related Fees

Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. During the period from January 15, 2021 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2021, we did not pay Marcum LLP any audit-related fees.

Tax Fees

We did not pay Marcum LLP for tax services, planning or advice for the period from January 15, 2021 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2021.

All Other Fees

We did not pay Marcum LLP for any other services for the period from January 15, 2021 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2021.Our Audit Committee has determined that the services provided by Marcum LLP are compatible with maintaining the independence of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Pre-Approval Policy

Our Audit Committee was formed upon the consummation of our IPO. As a result, the Audit Committee may not have pre-approved all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our Audit Committee were approved by our Board. Since the formation of our Audit Committee, and on a going-forward basis, the Audit Committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by Marcum LLP, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit).

Consequences if the Auditor Ratification Proposal is Not Approved

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for appointing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is not bound by the outcome of this vote. However, if the stockholders do not ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm

Corporate Governance

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

We have five directors. Our Board is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one full year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq.

The term of office of Class A directors, consisting of Jennifer Vescio, will expire at this Annual Meeting. The term of office of Class B directors, consisting of Teddy Zee and Matthew Hong, will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023. The term of office of Class C directors, consisting of Kenneth King and Thomas Bushey, will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024.

Our officers are appointed by the Board and serve at the discretion of the Board, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of one or more Chief Executive Officers, a Chief Financial Officer, a Secretary, and such other offices as may be determined by the Board.

Committees of the Board

Our Board has two standing committees: the Audit Committee and a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”). Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committee of the Board, which consists of Matthew Hong, Jennifer Vescio and Teddy Zee, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing standards. The Audit Committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

•

reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;

•

discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;

•

discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;

•

monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;

•

verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

•

reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•

pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

•

appointing or replacing the independent auditor;

•

determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

•

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and

•

approving reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses.

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

The Audit Committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Nasdaq’s standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

In addition, we must certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The Board has determined that Matthew Hong qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.

Audit Committee Report*

The Audit Committee assists the Board with its oversight responsibilities regarding the Company’s financial reporting process. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and the reporting process, including the Company’s accounting policies, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an audit of the Company’s financial statements.

We have reviewed and discussed with Marcum LLP the overall scope and plans of their audit. We met with Marcum LLP, with and without Management present, to discuss the results of its examinations, its evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

With regard to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Audit Committee (i) reviewed and discussed with Management the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021, and for the year then ended; (ii) discussed with Marcum LLP the matters required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC; (iii) received the written disclosures and the letter from Marcum LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Marcum LLP communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence; and (iv) discussed with Marcum LLP their independence.

Based on the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, for filing with the SEC.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compensation Committee

We have established a Compensation Committee of the Board, which consists of Jennifer Vescio and Teddy Zee, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing standards. The Compensation Committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

•

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

•

reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;

•

reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

•

implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•

assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

•

approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

•

if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

After our initial Business combination, members of our Management who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders. However, the amount of such compensation may not be known at the time of the stockholder meeting held to consider an initial Business Combination, as it is up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation. In this event, such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination in a Current Report on Form 8-K or a periodic report, as required by the SEC.

The Company agreed to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for up to 24 months, from March 22, 2021, the effective date of the registration statement for our IPO (the “Registration Statement”), for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Services will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a business combination or the liquidation of the Company.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the Board. The Board believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Matthew Hong, Jennifer Vescio and Teddy Zee. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our Board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the

Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons. Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2021, all reports applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board has determined that Matthew Hong, Jennifer Vescio and Teddy Zee are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the effective date of the Registration Statement through the acquisition of a target business or our liquidation of the Company, we have and will pay, our Sponsor $10,000 per month for providing us with office space and certain office and secretarial services. However, this arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to provide our officers or directors compensation in lieu of a salary.

Other than the $10,000 per month administrative fee, the payment of consulting, success or finder fees to our Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination and the repayment of the $300,000 loan made by our Sponsor to us, no compensation or fees of any kind is or will be paid to our Sponsor, directors, officers or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, they will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and Business Combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. There is no limit on the amount of consulting, success or finder fees payable by us upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Additionally, there is no limit on the amount of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us; provided, however, that to the extent such expenses exceed the available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account, such expenses would not be reimbursed by us unless we consummate an initial Business Combination.

After our initial Business Combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders. However, the amount of such compensation may not be known at the time of the stockholder meeting held to consider an initial Business Combination, as it is up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation. In this event, such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination in a Current Report on Form 8-K or a periodic report, as required by the SEC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On January 20, 2021, the Company issued 4,562,500 shares of common stock to our Sponsor and EBC and its designees for $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.006 per share, in connection with our organization. Approximately 4,312,500 shares of common stock were issued to the Sponsor and approximately 250,000 shares were issued to EBC and its designees. On March 22, 2021, our Sponsor and EBC effected a surrender of 862,500 and 50,000 shares of common stock to the Company, respectively, for no consideration. This resulted in a decrease in the total number of shares of common stock outstanding from 4,562,500 to 3,650,000.

On March 30, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 843,937 units at $10.00 per unit. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise the over-allotment option, an aggregate of 239,016 founder shares has been forfeited by the Sponsor.

Our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 354,715 Private Units and EBC purchased an aggregate of 52,164 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,068,970 in the private placements that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the purchase of units resulting from the exercise of the over-allotment option. The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the IPO except that the private warrants (the “Private Warrants”) included in the Private Units: (i) will not be redeemable by us and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or any of their permitted transferees. Once the Private Warrants are transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants. Our Sponsor and EBC have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private shares (the “Private Shares”) and the Private Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees) until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. In the event of a liquidation prior to our initial Business Combination, the Private Shares and the Private Warrants will likely be worthless. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by March 25, 2023, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).

In order to meet our working capital needs following the consummation of our IPO, our Sponsor, initial stockholders, officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Units. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment.

On May 3, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note for up to approximately $0.4 million (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, of which $0.4 million was outstanding under the Note as of September 30, 2022. The Note is non-interest bearing and the Company must make drawdown requests in amounts no less than $10,000 unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The principal balance of the Note is payable on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination and (ii) the date

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that the winding up of the Company is effective (such date, the “Maturity Date”). The Company, pursuant to the Note, may at any time prior to payment in full of the principal balance of the Note elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Note into units (the “Conversion Units”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per unit. Each Conversion Unit will consist of one share of common stock of the Company and one-half of one warrant, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company at a price of $11.50 per share. The Conversion Units shall be identical to the Private Units. Additionally, the Note entitles the Sponsor to two demand registrations and unlimited piggyback registration rights for the Conversion Units (including underlying securities), which rights are the same as the registration rights provided under the registration rights agreement dated March 22, 2021.

The holders of our Founder Shares, shares of common stock issued to the underwriters of our IPO Private Shares, Private Warrants and any units our Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to us (and all underlying securities), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a signed agreement. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Shares, Private Warrants and units issued in payment of working capital loans made to us (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, EBC may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement filed on February 1, 2021. In addition, EBC may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the Registration Statement.

On November 23, 2020, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $0.30 million. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of June 30, 2021, or the consummation of the IPO. The outstanding balance of $0.19 million was paid in full on July 30, 2021.

Our Sponsor has agreed that, commencing on the effective date of the Registration Statement and ending on the earlier of our consummation of our initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company, it will make available to us certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative support, as we may require from time to time. We have agreed to pay $10,000 per month for these services. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services, that these fees are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. For the period from the effectiveness of the Registration Statement through December 31, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid $90,000 and $90,000 for these services, respectively.

We have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Other than the $10,000 per month administrative fee, the payment of consulting, success or finder fees to our Sponsor, officers, directors, initial stockholders or their affiliates in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination and repayment of the $300,000 loan, no compensation or fees of any kind is or will be paid to our Sponsor, initial stockholders, members of our management team or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, such individuals will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and Business Combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their operations. There is no limit on the amount of consulting, success or finder fees payable by us upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Additionally, there is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us; provided, however, that to the extent such expenses exceed the available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account, such expenses would not be reimbursed by us unless we consummate an initial Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

After our initial Business Combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders. However, the amount of such compensation may not be known at the time of the stockholder meeting held to consider an initial Business Combination, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation. In this event, such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination in a Current Report on Form 8-K or a periodic report, as required by the SEC.

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions will require prior approval by a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors or the members of our Board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

Policy for Approval of Related Party Transactions

Our Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the Board (or the Audit Committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our shares of common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our Audit Committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The Audit Committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the Audit Committee with all material information concerning the transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial Business Combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our Sponsor, officers or directors unless we have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, that the Business Combination is fair to our unaffiliated stockholders from a financial point of view. We will also need to obtain approval of a majority of our disinterested independent directors.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

We anticipate that our annual meeting of stockholders for the 2022 fiscal year (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) will be held no later than December 31, 2023. For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the stockholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act our bylaws. Such proposals must be received at our offices at 121 High Street, Floor 3, Boston, MA 02110 no later than August 9, 2023.

In addition, our bylaws provide notice procedures for our stockholders to nominate a person as a director and to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. Notice of a nomination or proposal must be delivered to us not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to the date for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (i) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (ii) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by us.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this Proxy Statement to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding”, reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if as stockholders as of the Record Date, you and members of your family who reside at the same address prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, you should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if you share an address with another stockholder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, you should follow these instructions:

•

If the shares are registered in your names, you should contact us at (617) 893-3057 or 121 High Street, Floor 3, Boston, MA 02110 to inform us of your request; or

•

If a bank, broker or other nominee holds your shares, you should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.
