An aggregate of  6,234,966 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), were issued in connection with such exercise. Following the Redemption Date, the 96,643 unexercised Public Warrants that remained outstanding were redeemed for $0.01 per Public Warrant.
