(2) These shares represent 2,775,000 shares of Class B common stock held by Mehana Equity LLC (the "Sponsor") acquired pursuant to a certain securities subscription Agreement dated as of March 22, 2021, by and between the Sponsor and the registrant (the "Subscription Agreement").

These shares include up to 375,000 shares that are subject to forfeiture to the extent the underwriters of the initial public offering of the Issuer's securities do not exercise in full their over-allotment option in connection with the registrant's initial public offering in full.
