Subject to the limitations above, the Issuer may call Founder’s Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Founder’s Warrant, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Founder’s Warrant holder, at any time after such Founder’s Warrants have become exercisable, if, and only if, (a) the last sale price has equaled or exceeded $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to Founder’s Warrant holders and (b) at all times between the date of such notice of redemption and the redemption date a registration statement is in effect covering the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Founder’s Warrants and a current prospectus relating to those Common Stock is available.
Sponsor’s Warrants
The Principal holds 4,666,667 Sponsor’s Warrants. Each Sponsor’s Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Issuer at a price of $13.00 per share, subject to adjustment, commencing any time after the closing of the Acquisition and shall end on the date that is five years from the closing of the Acquisition.

Subject to the limitations above, the Issuer may call Sponsor’s Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Sponsor’s Warrant, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Sponsor’s Warrant holder, at any time after such Sponsor’s Warrants have become exercisable, if, and only if, (a) the last sale price has equaled or exceeded $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to Sponsor’s Warrant holders and (b) at all times between the date of such notice of redemption and the redemption date a registration statement is in effect covering the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Sponsor’s Warrants and a current prospectus relating to those Common Stock is available.
Registration Rights Agreement
The Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which it may be required to register shares of Common Stock (including Earnout Shares), Founder’s Warrants (and the Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Founder’s Warrants), Sponsor’s Warrants (and the Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Sponsor’s Warrants) held by the Reporting Persons through demand registration, piggy-back registration, or registration on shelf registration statement, subject to certain conditions in such Registration Rights Agreement.
