Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”), which provides for borrowings from time to time of up to an aggregate of $2,300,000. Up to $500,000 of the Note may be drawn and used for working capital purposes (a “Working Capital Drawdown”) and up to $1,800,000 of the Note may be drawn and used to finance deposits to the Company’s Trust Account (as defined below) in connection with the solicitation of approval of the stockholders of the Company to extend the deadline for the Company to consummate an initial business combination (a “Business Combination”) (an “Extension Drawdown”). The Company borrowed $1,300,000 under the Note on December 21, 2022, $900,000 of which was an Extension Drawdown and $400,000 of which was a Working Capital Drawdown.
