Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair value based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy. These levels are:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt, Additional Shares, Earn-Out Shares, Public and Private Placement Warrants and Structural Derivative. Cash equivalents, Earn-Out Shares, Public and Private Placement Warrants and Structural Derivative are stated at fair value on a recurring basis. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short period time to the expected receipt or payment. The carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding debt approximates the fair value as the debt bears interest at a rate that approximates prevailing market rate.
The Public Warrants were historically classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. Private Placement Warrants were historically classified as Level 2 as the fair value approximated the fair value of the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, with certain exceptions as defined in Note 7, Common Stock and Warrants. Five Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants must be bundled together to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the entire balance of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants was transferred out of Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, into Level 3 due to the warrants being delisted by the NYSE in response to the low trading price of the warrants.
The value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants was determined by using a Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions:
June 30,
2023		 December 31,
2022
Exercise Price $11.50 —
Fair value of common stock $0.35 —
Expected term (in years) 4.01 —
Volatility 69.00% —
Risk-free interest rate 4.31% —
Dividend yield — —

The Additional Shares and Earn-Out Shares are classified as Level 3 and their fair values were estimated using a Monte Carlo options pricing model utilizing assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the expected volatility assumption using an average of the implied volatility of its common stock and an implied volatility based on its peer companies.
The Structural Derivative Liability is a compound embedded derivative related to features within the Structural Debt Facility, including an increase in interest rate upon an event of default and the contingent issuance of the Structural Subsequent Shares as defined in Note 5, Debt. This liability is classified as Level 3 and is valued using a risk-neutral income approach related to an event of default occurring and expected cash flows in such a scenario and an income and Black-Scholes pricing model for the contingent issuance of the Structural Subsequent Shares utilizing assumptions related to expected stock price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the expected volatility assumption using an average of the implied volatility of its common stock and an implied volatility based on its peer companies.
