The Private Placement Units and the securities underlying such Private Placement Units are subject to a lock up provision in the Purchase Agreement or Insider Letter (described below), which provides that such securities shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable until 30 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in the Insider Letter.

The description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.5 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 16, 2021 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1).

Pursuant to the Insider Letter, the parties agreed (A) to vote any shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units and any public shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to transfer the Private Placement Units (or underlying shares of common stock) prior to the date that the Issuer consummates its initial business combination, (C) not to redeem any Founder Shares and any shares underlying the Private Placement Units into the right to receive cash from the trust account, set up in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Issuer’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that any shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Units shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated.

The description of the Insider Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.4 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 16, 2021 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2).
