NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2023

Note 1 — Organization, and Business Operations

Organization and General

Flame Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 16, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation (“SOC”), and Sable Offshore Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of SOC (“Holdco” and, together with SOC, “Sable”), as fully disclosed in the Current Report on Form

8-K

filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 2, 2022. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions at the closing: (i) Holdco will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Holdco Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the effective time of the Holdco Merger, SOC will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “SOC Merger”). The Holdco Merger together with the SOC Merger are referred to as the “Merger,” and the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to as the “Business Combination.” In connection with the Business Combination, the Company will change its name to Sable Offshore Corp. The independent members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved, and recommended that the Board approve, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Subsequently, the Board approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions. The closing of the Merger is expected to occur on the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver (if legally permissible) of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, except as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing and the Company can provide no assurance that the Business Combination will be consummated at the expected time, or at all.

In connection with the Business Combination, Holdco entered into subscription agreements (the “Sable PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Sable PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the Sable PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 7,450,000 limited liability company membership interests in Holdco designated as Class B shares at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate commitment amount of approximately $74,500,000

(the “Sable PIPE Investment”). See additional information for related subsequent events at Note 10.

The Sable PIPE Subscription Agreements provide that, in the event the Merger is consummated, the Sable PIPE Investors will be deemed to have subscribed for and will purchase our Class A common stock at the same price per share and, by operation of law pursuant to the Merger, the Company will have succeeded to Holdco’s obligations under the Sable PIPE Subscription Agreements. The Sable PIPE Subscription Agreements provide that, if the Merger is consummated, we must file a registration statement within 30 calendar days after consummation of the Merger registering the resale of the shares of our Class A common stock issued to the Sable PIPE Investors, and must use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC by the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies us that it will review the registration statement) following the closing of the Merger and (ii) the 10th business day after the date we are notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review. We thereafter will be required to maintain a registration statement that is continuously effective and to cause the registration statement to regain effectiveness in the event that it ceases to be effective.

On November 10, 2022, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement relating to the Business Combination (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”), which included a recommendation of the Board to the Company’s stockholders that they approve the proposals included in the Proxy Statement. The Company also filed amended preliminary proxy statements on December 23, 2022 and January 27, 2023 for the purpose of addressing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff comments.

Table of Contents

On February 27, 2023, at a special meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve an amendment (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must complete a business combination (the “Extension”) from March 1, 2023, to September 1, 2023 (the “Extended Date”). In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 20,317,255 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, representing approximately 70.67% of our issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares. As a result, $206,121,060 (approximately $10.15 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming holders on March 2, 2023.

On June 13, 2023, Sable, Exxon Mobil Corporation (“Exxon”) and Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (“MPPC,” and together with Exxon, “EM”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November 1, 2022 among Sable and EM. Pursuant to the Amendment, Sable and EM agreed to amend the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement to, among other things, provide that the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement was scheduled to take place on June 30, 2023 (the “Sable-EM Scheduled Closing Date”), unless one or more of the conditions to closing described in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement was not satisfied as of the Sable-EM Scheduled Closing Date, in which case the closing would be held three business days after all such conditions were satisfied or waived, or such other date as the parties may mutually agree in writing, but in no event later than December 31, 2023. The Amendment also lowers the “Minimum Cash Threshold” (as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement) from $200,000,000 to $

150,000,000

On June 30, 2023, the Company and Sable entered into a Second Amendment to the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the date by which the parties must consummate the Business Combination, or otherwise either Flame or Sable may terminate the Merger Agreement, from June 30, 2023 to March 1, 2024.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) described below and, since the closing of the IPO, the search for a target for our initial Business Combination, and since the signing of the Merger Agreement, completing our initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate

non-operating

income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO and

non-operating

income or expense from changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and convertible promissory notes.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 24, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On March 1, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 28,750,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $287,500,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 7,750,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, which is discussed in Note 4.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on March 1, 2021, an amount of $287,500,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which is invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185

days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule

2a-7

of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. However, to mitigate the risk of our being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, on February 21, 2023, we instructed American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the investments previously held in the Trust Account and to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (which may include an interest bearing demand deposit account at a national bank) until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or the liquidation of the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (see Note 2), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial business combination by September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination.

The Company’s business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a business combination. However, the Company will only complete a business combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination.

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

Table of Contents

The shares of common stock subject to redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a business combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of a business combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination.

The Company has until September 1, 2023 (with the ability to further extend with stockholder approval) to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, the Company will redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company for the payment of taxes, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate.

Flame Acquisition Sponsor, LLC a Delaware company (the “Sponsor”), and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (see Note 5), Private Placement Warrants and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot be certain that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $93,605 available for working capital needs and a working capital deficit of $10,268,727. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination, to redeem common stock or to use for payment of taxes. As of June 30, 2023, $659,138 of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through June 30, 2023, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through various promissory notes from its sponsor (see further discussion of the individual promissory notes in Note 5).

Until consummation of its Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5) from the initial stockholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 5), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

If the Company’s estimates of the costs of undertaking

in-depth

due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amounts necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the business combination and will need to raise additional capital through loans from the Sponsor, its officers and/or directors, or third parties. Except as contemplated by the terms of the Initial Promissory Note, First Working Capital Loan, Second Working Capital Loan, Third Working Capital Loan, Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note, Q1 2023 Promissory Note, First Q2 2023 Promissory Note, Second Q2 2023 Promissory Note, Third Q2 2023 Promissory Note and Fourth Q2 2023 Promissory Note, neither the Sponsor nor the Company’s officers or directors are under any obligation to advance additional funds to, or to invest in, the Company (see Note 5). If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The Company is also subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement if it does not complete its initial business combination by September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation). In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, the Company cannot assure you that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination before September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine and the surrounding region, and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from whom shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases made during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

The Company determined that the $206,121,060 in

rust

ccount value relating to the Class A common stock redeemed (as noted above) is subject to the excise tax. Accordingly, an excise tax payable of $2,068,297

was recognized upon the redemptions and was recorded as a liability on the condensed balance sheet and as a charge to Accumulated Deficit. The Company will continue to assess the excise tax payable recognizing an additional excise tax liability for any future stock repurchases/redemptions and netting such liability for any future qualifying stock issuances within the same annual period.

Note 2— Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form

10-Q

and Article 8 of Regulation

S-X

of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

Table of Contents

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, as well as the Company’s Current Reports on Form

8-K.

The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from our audited financial statements included in that Annual Report. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to

non-emerging

growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include inputs utilized to fair value warrant liabilities and convertible promissory notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did

not

have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2022, the Trust Account had $290,718,297 in marketable securities. As discussed in Note 1, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the investments previously held in the Trust Account were liquidated with all funds in the Trust Account to be held in cash (which may include an interest bearing demand deposit account). During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company withdrew $450,151 and $786,918, respectively, of interest income from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

Marketable securities held in the Trust Account are classified as “Trading Securities” in accordance with ASC 320, “Investments – Debt Securities” and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in earnings of the current period.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not experience losses on this account.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 8,432,745 and 28,750,000

shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, representing all outstanding shares of Class A common stock on those dates, are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets, respectively.

Table of Contents

Under ASC

480-10-S99,

the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of the reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date of the security. Effective with the closing of our initial public offering, we recognized the remeasurement amount from initial book value to redemption amount, which, resulted in charges against additional

paid-in

capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Amount remeasured in 2023 represents investment income accrued in the Trust Account during the period reduced by the amounts of Delaware franchise tax and income taxes paid and payable for 2021, 2022 and 2023, net of cash withdrawn from the Trust Account to pay these obligations.

On February 23, 2023, the Company was notified by stockholders holding 20,317,255 shares of Class A common stock that they exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $206,121,060 (approximately $10.15 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming holders on March 2, 2023.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A common stock reflected in the condensed balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Subsequent remeasurement of the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from income per share of common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value. Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing the pro rata net income between the shares of Class A common stock and the shares of Class B common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each of the periods. The calculation of diluted income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the IPO, as well as warrants issuable upon the exercise of the conversion option on outstanding working capital loans, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable for 24,796,370 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate as of June 30, 2023.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share of common stock (in dollars, except share amounts):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets.

Table of Contents

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is

re-assessed

at the end of each reporting period.

The Company accounts for its 22,125,000 common stock warrants issued in connection with its Initial Public Offering (14,375,000) and Private Placement (7,750,000) as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC

815-40.

Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to

re-measurement

at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations. The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement had been estimated using Monte-Carlo simulations at the initial measurement date. However, for each subsequent measurement, beginning on April 19, 2021, the public warrants were measured at the Observable Quoted Price in Active Markets and the private warrants were measured using the Modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Convertible Promissory Notes—Related Party

The Company accounts for the convertible promissory notes under ASC 815. The Company has made the election under

815-15-25

to account for the notes under the fair value option. Using the fair value option, the convertible promissory notes are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the note and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the condensed statement of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as

non-cash

gains or losses in the condensed statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and that such annual effective rate be applied to

year-to-date

income in interim periods. Using provisions of ASC 740 that allow certain tax items to be recorded in the interim period in which these items are reported, the Company’s effective tax rate was 3.2% and 0.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, due primarily to changes in fair value of the warrant liability, which are not included in taxable income, and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 8.3% and 0.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, due primarily to changes in fair value of the warrant liability, which are not included in taxable income, and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be

more-likely-than-not

to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU

2020-06,

“Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic

470-20)

and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic

815-40):

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU

2020-06”),

which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked

Table of Contents

contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU

2020-06

is effective no later than January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently reviewing what impact, if any, adoption will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 28,750,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 3,750,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and

one-half

of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

Note 4 — Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor, Intrepid Financial Partners, LLC (an affiliate of one of the Company’s underwriters) (“Intrepid”) and FL

Co-Investment,

LLC (an affiliate of one of the Company’s underwriters) (“FL

Co-Investment”)

collectively, the (“Initial Stockholders”), purchased an aggregate of 7,750,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($7,750,000 in the aggregate), and each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from this offering to be held in the Trust Account.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In November 2020, our founders acquired 7,187,500 founder shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 (the “Class B common stock”), or approximately $0.0035 per share. The Sponsor purchased 4,671,875 Founder Shares, FL

Co-Investment

purchased 1,257,813 Founder Shares and Intrepid Financial Partners purchased 1,257,812 Founder Shares. On November 25, 2020, the Sponsor sold 434,375 Founder Shares to some of the Company’s directors and executives, including Gregory D. Patrinely, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, at their original purchase price. Simultaneously with such transfer, each of FL

Co-Investment

and Intrepid Financial Partners transferred 13,125 Founder Shares to the Sponsor, respectively, at their original purchase price. Such sale of Founder Shares to the Company’s directors and executives is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founder Shares were sold to directors and executives and effectively transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the consummation of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of achievement under the applicable accounting literature. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of Founder Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares. On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement (see Note 1); however, the Merger Agreement is subject to certain conditions to closing, such as, for example, approval by the Company’s stockholders. As a result, the Company determined that there is a possibility that a Business Combination might not happen and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, if (x) the last reported sale price of the shares of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any

30-trading

day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, the converted Class A common stock will be released from the

lock-up.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or an affiliate of the initial stockholders or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company or convert them to warrants as described below. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Initially up to $1,500,000, which was increased to $3,500,000

on March 24, 2023, of such loans may be convertible into warrants. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As discussed below, since inception, the Company has entered into eight convertible promissory notes under this arrangement with the Sponsor to provide Working Capital Loans.

In addition, the Company has borrowed certain funds from the Sponsor under non-convertible promissory notes that have been used to pay for expenditures of the acquisition targe

t. As discussed below, since inception, the Company has entered into three non-convertible promissory notes under this arrangement with the Sponsor. I

n accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company is to pay for up to

$1.5 million

(subsequently amended to a cap of

$3.0 million)

in reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses for any agents, advisors, consultants, experts, independent contractors and financial advisors engaged on behalf of Holdco or Sable and incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Sable-EM Purchase Agreement at closing of the Business Combination. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid

602,972 in such

expenditures on behalf of Sable ($100,971 of these costs were related to the three months ended March 31, 2023) which have been recorded and included in Operating costs on the condensed statement

of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company is under no obligation to make further advance

s prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

Promissory Note Amendments

On March 29, 2023, the Company and Flame Acquisition Sponsor LLC entered into amendments to each of the Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note and Q1 2023 Promissory Note, pursuant to which loans made under such notes are, at the lender’s discretion, convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination. On May 12, 2023, the Q1 2023 Promissory note was amended to clarify that approximately $356,370 of the note proceeds are convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant, while the remainder of the note proceeds are non-convertible notes to be used to fund advances to the acquisition target. Such warrants are identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The Company evaluated the amendments to each of the Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note and Q1 2023 Promissory Note under ASC

470-50,

“Debt – Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the amendments resulted in terms that were substantially different and thus resulted in debt extinguishments. The fair value of the Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note and Q1 2023 Promissory Note ($726,370 in aggregate proceeds) was estimated by the Company to be $684,165 upon the amendments. The amount by which the proceeds from each of the Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note and Q1 2023 Promissory Note exceeded their fair value has been recognized as a capital contribution within stockholders’ deficit during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities, and certain Promissory Notes, are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged underwriters as advisors in connection with its business combination to assist it in holding meetings with the Company’s stockholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’s attributes, introduce it to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with the potential business combination, assist it in obtaining stockholder approval for the business combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. The Company will pay the Marketing Fee (as defined in the Company’s registration statement on Form

S-1,

as amended, that was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2021) for such services upon the consummation of its initial business combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, including the proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters will not be entitled to such fee unless the Company consummates its initial business combination. In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 20,317,255 shares of Flame Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, representing approximately 70.67% of our issued and outstanding Flame Class A common stock. After this redemption, 8,432,745 shares of Flame Class A common stock remained outstanding. If no additional public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares of Flame Class A common stock, the amount of effective underwriting commissions due to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Business Combination will represent 11.9% of the aggregate proceeds from the Flame IPO retained by Flame.

Underwriters Agreement

On March 1, 2021, the Company paid a fixed underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $5,750,000 in the aggregate.

Deferred Legal Fees

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has incurred unbilled legal costs of $3,348,198 and $2,633,139, respectively, related to its prospective initial Business Combination. These costs are deferred until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Common stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, except as required by law.

The Class B common stock are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units being sold in the IPO, and holders of Class B common stock have the same stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (i) the Class B common stock are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) our founders, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Class B common stock and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of our Business Combination and (B) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Class B common stock held by them if the Company fails to complete our Business Combination within the prescribed time period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete our Business Combination within such time period, (iii) the Class B common stock are shares of our Class B common stock that will automatically convert into shares of our Class A common stock at the time of our initial Business Combination, on a

one-for-one

basis, subject to adjustment pursuant to certain anti-dilution rights and (iv) are subject to registration rights. If the Company submits our Business Combination to our public stockholders for a vote, our Initial stockholders have agreed to vote any Class B common stock and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of our initial Business Combination.

With certain limited exceptions, the Class B common stock are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of our initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to our initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any

30-trading

day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Note 8 — Warrants

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue a share of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

Table of Contents

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. In addition, if the shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of the Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects to do so, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied the excess of the “fair market value” less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The “fair market value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the shares of Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

Redemption of Warrants For Cash

—Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for cash:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the last sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. However, the Company will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the

30-day

redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Redemption of Warrants For Shares of Class

A Common Stock

—commencing 90 days after the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for shares of Class A common stock:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price equal to a number of shares of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to the agreed table set forth in the warrant agreement based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A common stock;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the last sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

Table of Contents

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the completion of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company completes a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described above adjacent to “Redemption of Warrants For Cash” and “Redemption of Warrants For Shares of Class A Common Stock” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the IPO, except that (x) the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (y) the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and

non-redeemable

so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (z) the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Additionally, as discussed in Note 5, the Working Capital Loans, and certain Promissory Notes, would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Initially up to $

1,500,000, which was increased to $3,500,000 on March 24, 2023, of such loans may be convertible into warrants.

Note 9— Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measureme

nt d

ate. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

•

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


Description:	Level		June 30, 2023		Level		December 31, 2022

Investment Held in Trust Account

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, investments in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $87,287,862

in a demand deposit account (and are therefore not reflected in the table above) and $

290,718,297 in U.S. Money Market funds, respectively.

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Level 1 instruments include investments in money markets. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

The fair value of warrants issued by the Company in connection with the Public Offering and Private Placement had been estimated using Monte-Carlo simulations at the initial measurement date up to the date when the Public Warrants started trading on April 19, 2021. For each subsequent measurement since April 19, 2021, the public warrants were measured at the Observable Quoted Price in Active Markets. Private warrants were measured using the Modified Black-Scholes Optional Pricing Model. The estimated fair value of the private warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury

zero-coupon

yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

The aforementioned warrant liabilities are not subject to qualified hedge accounting.

As Private Placement Warrants held by FL

Co-Investment

and Intrepid Financial Partners, will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement, the exercise period end date is different than other Private Placement Warrants which will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Accordingly, they have different inputs to the Modified Black-Scholes Optional Pricing Model.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 inputs used to determine the fair values of Private Placement Warrants held by FL Co-Investment and Intrepid Financial Partners as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on October 16, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. Our sponsor is Flame Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability and an affiliate of certain of our officers and directors.

Potential Business Combination

On November 2, 2022, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation (“SOC”), and Sable Offshore Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of SOC (“Holdco” and, together with SOC, “Sable”). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions at the closing: (i) Holdco will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Holdco Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the effective time of the Holdco Merger, SOC will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “SOC Merger”). The Holdco Merger together with the SOC Merger are referred to as the “Merger,” and the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to as the “Business Combination.” In connection with the Business Combination, the Company will change its name to Sable Offshore Corp. The independent members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved, and recommended that the Board approve, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Subsequently, the Board approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

On November 10, 2022, we filed a preliminary proxy statement relating to the Business Combination (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”), which included a recommendation of the Board to the Company’s stockholders that they approve the proposals included in the Proxy Statement. For more information on the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on November 2, 2022 and the Company’s preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on November 10, 2022 (as amended from time to time, including on December 23, 2022 and January 27, 2023).

Recent Developments

On February 21, 2023, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we instructed American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the investments in U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account (which may include an interest bearing demand deposit account at a national bank) until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders.

On February 27, 2023, in connection with the Extension, we filed an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Extension Amendment extends the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination from March 1, 2023 to September 1, 2023.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception through June 30, 2023 was related to our formation, the preparation for our initial public offering, and since the closing of our initial public offering, the search for a target for our initial business combination (see Note 1). We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents and changes in fair value of our derivative warrant liabilities and promissory notes. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June, 30, 2023, we had a net income of $5,039,619, which consisted of interest income on our amounts held in the Trust Account of $835,915, a decrease in the fair value of the previously issued promissory notes of $798,412, and a decrease in the fair value of warrants of $4,915,500, partially offset by operating costs of $1,345,166, and income tax expense of $165,042.

For the three months ended June, 30, 2022, we had a net income of $2,824,925, which consisted of interest income on our amounts held in the Trust Account of $354,238, a decrease in the fair value of the previously issued promissory notes of $5,400 and a decrease in the fair value of warrants of $2,771,625, partially offset by operating costs of $306,338.

For the six months ended June, 30, 2023, we had a net income of $7,076,101, which consisted of interest income on our amounts held in the Trust Account of $3,140,776, a decrease in the fair value of the previously issued promissory notes of $795,292, and a decrease in the fair value of warrants of $6,267,000, partially offset by operating costs of $2,488,404, and income tax expense of $638,563.

For the six months ended June, 30, 2022, we had a net income of $9,246,692, which consisted of interest income on our amounts held in the Trust Account of $369,359 and a decrease in the fair value of warrants of $9,630,375, partially offset by operating costs of $730,831 and a increase in the fair value of the previously issue promissory notes of $22,211.

Going Concern

Until consummation of its Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5) from the initial stockholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

If the Company’s estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amounts necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the business combination and will need to raise additional capital through loans from the Sponsor, its officers and/or directors, or third parties. Except as contemplated by the terms of the Initial Promissory Note, First Working Capital Loan, Second Working Capital Loan, Third Working Capital Loan, Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note, Q1 2023 Promissory Note, First Q2 2023 Promissory Note, Second Q2 2023 Promissory Note, Third Q2 2023 Promissory Note and Fourth Q2 2023 Promissory Note, neither the Sponsor nor the Company’s officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $93,605 in cash and working capital deficit of approximately $10,268,727. We are also subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination, to redeem common stock or to use for payment of taxes. During the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company withdrew $450,151 for payment of taxes, leaving $659,138 available for withdrawal from the Trust Account as of June 30, 2023. Further, we expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital are discussed in Note 1. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, we determined that our plans to raise capital and to consummate our initial business combination by September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) may not be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $93,605. Until the consummation of our initial public offering, our only sources of liquidity were an initial purchase of common stock by our founders and a loan from the Sponsor, FLC and IFP.

Our registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on February 24, 2021. On March 1, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering of 28,750,000 units, which included 3,750,000 units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $287,500,000 and incurring offering costs of $16,670,251, inclusive of $10,062,500 in deferred underwriting commissions pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC and Intrepid Partners, LLC (the “Business Combination Marketing Agreement”).

Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of 7,750,000 warrants to our initial stockholders, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $7,750,000.

Upon the closing of our initial public offering and the private placement, $287,500,000 of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in our initial public offering and the sale of private placement warrants in the private placement were placed in the Trust Account, located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of our initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation), or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (c) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination by September 1, 2023, subject to applicable law. On February 21, 2023, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we instructed American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the investments in U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account were liquidated to thereafter be held in cash (which may include an interest bearing demand deposit account at a national bank) until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders (see Note 9). Based on current interest rates, we expect that interest income earned on the Trust Account (if any) will be sufficient to pay our income and franchise taxes.

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes as well as expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination by the end of the Combination Period, or by the applicable deadline as may be extended.

Related Party Loans

On November 25, 2020, our founders agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to our initial public offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Initial Promissory Note”).

As of June 30, 2023, we have borrowed $100,000 under the Third Q2 2023 Promissory Note. Also on June 22, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Fourth Q2 2023 Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $50,000. The Fourth Q2 2023 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. As of June 30, 2023, we have borrowed $50,000 under the Fourth Q2 2023 Promissory Note.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Initially up to $1,500,000, which was increased to $3,500,000 on March 24, 2023, of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender (the “Convertible Promissory Notes”). Such warrants are identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. On March 29, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into amendments to each of the Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note and Q1 2023 Promissory Note, pursuant to which loans made under such notes are, at the lender’s discretion, convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. On May 12, 2023, the Q1 2023 Promissory note was amended to clarify that approximately $356,370 of the note proceeds are convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each of the First Working Capital Loan, Second Working Capital Loan, Third Working Capital Loan, Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note, First Q2 2023 Promissory Note, Fourth Q2 2023 Promissory Note and a portion of the Q1 2023 Promissory Note are Working Capital Loans and may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. As of June 30, 2023, we had drawn down $2,671,370 of such loans.

Critical Accounting Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes during the period to our critical accounting estimates included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We are currently reviewing what impact, if any, adoption will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2023, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting over the accounting for complex financial instruments, which resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for certain prior periods. In light of this, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that the accompanying condensed financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 10-K”) and our preliminary proxy statement, filed with the SEC on November 10, 2022 (as amended, the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”). Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the 2022 10-K or the Preliminary Proxy Statement. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Organization, and Business Operations	Jun. 30, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, and Business Operations	Note 1 — Organization, and Business Operations Organization and General Flame Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 16, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation (“SOC”), and Sable Offshore Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of SOC (“Holdco” and, together with SOC, “Sable”), as fully disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 2, 2022. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions at the closing: (i) Holdco will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Holdco Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the effective time of the Holdco Merger, SOC will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “SOC Merger”). The Holdco Merger together with the SOC Merger are referred to as the “Merger,” and the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to as the “Business Combination.” In connection with the Business Combination, the Company will change its name to Sable Offshore Corp. The independent members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved, and recommended that the Board approve, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Subsequently, the Board approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The obligations of the parties to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions. The closing of the Merger is expected to occur on the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver (if legally permissible) of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, except as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing and the Company can provide no assurance that the Business Combination will be consummated at the expected time, or at all. In connection with the Business Combination, Holdco entered into subscription agreements (the “Sable PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Sable PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the Sable PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 7,450,000 limited liability company membership interests in Holdco designated as Class B shares at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate commitment amount of approximately $74,500,000 (the “Sable PIPE Investment”). See additional information for related subsequent events at Note 10. The Sable PIPE Subscription Agreements provide that, in the event the Merger is consummated, the Sable PIPE Investors will be deemed to have subscribed for and will purchase our Class A common stock at the same price per share and, by operation of law pursuant to the Merger, the Company will have succeeded to Holdco’s obligations under the Sable PIPE Subscription Agreements. The Sable PIPE Subscription Agreements provide that, if the Merger is consummated, we must file a registration statement within 30 calendar days after consummation of the Merger registering the resale of the shares of our Class A common stock issued to the Sable PIPE Investors, and must use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC by the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies us that it will review the registration statement) following the closing of the Merger and (ii) the 10th business day after the date we are notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review. We thereafter will be required to maintain a registration statement that is continuously effective and to cause the registration statement to regain effectiveness in the event that it ceases to be effective. On November 10, 2022, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement relating to the Business Combination (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”), which included a recommendation of the Board to the Company’s stockholders that they approve the proposals included in the Proxy Statement. The Company also filed amended preliminary proxy statements on December 23, 2022 and January 27, 2023 for the purpose of addressing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff comments. On February 27, 2023, at a special meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve an amendment (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must complete a business combination (the “Extension”) from March 1, 2023, to September 1, 2023 (the “Extended Date”). In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 20,317,255 shares of Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, representing approximately 70.67% of our issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares. As a result, $206,121,060 (approximately $10.15 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming holders on March 2, 2023. On June 13, 2023, Sable, Exxon Mobil Corporation (“Exxon”) and Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (“MPPC,” and together with Exxon, “EM”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November 1, 2022 among Sable and EM. Pursuant to the Amendment, Sable and EM agreed to amend the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement to, among other things, provide that the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement was scheduled to take place on June 30, 2023 (the “Sable-EM Scheduled Closing Date”), unless one or more of the conditions to closing described in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement was not satisfied as of the Sable-EM Scheduled Closing Date, in which case the closing would be held three business days after all such conditions were satisfied or waived, or such other date as the parties may mutually agree in writing, but in no event later than December 31, 2023. The Amendment also lowers the “Minimum Cash Threshold” (as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement) from $200,000,000 to $ 150,000,000 . On June 30, 2023, the Company and Sable entered into a Second Amendment to the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the date by which the parties must consummate the Business Combination, or otherwise either Flame or Sable may terminate the Merger Agreement, from June 30, 2023 to March 1, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) described below and, since the closing of the IPO, the search for a target for our initial Business Combination, and since the signing of the Merger Agreement, completing our initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO and non-operating income or expense from changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities and convertible promissory notes. Financing The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 24, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On March 1, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 28,750,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $287,500,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 7,750,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, which is discussed in Note 4. Trust Account Following the closing of the IPO on March 1, 2021, an amount of $287,500,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which is invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. However, to mitigate the risk of our being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, on February 21, 2023, we instructed American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the investments previously held in the Trust Account and to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (which may include an interest bearing demand deposit account at a national bank) until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or the liquidation of the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (see Note 2), the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial business combination by September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders. Initial Business Combination The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination. The Company’s business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a business combination. However, the Company will only complete a business combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination. The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The shares of common stock subject to redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a business combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of a business combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. The Company has until September 1, 2023 (with the ability to further extend with stockholder approval) to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period, the Company will redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company for the payment of taxes, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. Flame Acquisition Sponsor, LLC a Delaware company (the “Sponsor”), and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (see Note 5), Private Placement Warrants and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot be certain that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Going Concern As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $93,605 available for working capital needs and a working capital deficit of $10,268,727. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination, to redeem common stock or to use for payment of taxes. As of June 30, 2023, $659,138 of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above. Through June 30, 2023, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through various promissory notes from its sponsor (see further discussion of the individual promissory notes in Note 5). Until consummation of its Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5) from the initial stockholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 5), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. If the Company’s estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amounts necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the business combination and will need to raise additional capital through loans from the Sponsor, its officers and/or directors, or third parties. Except as contemplated by the terms of the Initial Promissory Note, First Working Capital Loan, Second Working Capital Loan, Third Working Capital Loan, Q3 2022 Promissory Note, Q4 2022 Promissory Note, Q1 2023 Promissory Note, First Q2 2023 Promissory Note, Second Q2 2023 Promissory Note, Third Q2 2023 Promissory Note and Fourth Q2 2023 Promissory Note, neither the Sponsor nor the Company’s officers or directors are under any obligation to advance additional funds to, or to invest in, the Company (see Note 5). If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The Company is also subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement if it does not complete its initial business combination by September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation). In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, the Company cannot assure you that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination before September 1, 2023 (or such later date as may be provided pursuant to a further amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Risks and Uncertainties Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine and the surrounding region, and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from whom shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases made during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination. The Company determined that the $206,121,060 in T rust A ccount value relating to the Class A common stock redeemed (as noted above) is subject to the excise tax. Accordingly, an excise tax payable of $2,068,297 was recognized upon the redemptions and was recorded as a liability on the condensed balance sheet and as a charge to Accumulated Deficit. The Company will continue to assess the excise tax payable recognizing an additional excise tax liability for any future stock repurchases/redemptions and netting such liability for any future qualifying stock issuances within the same annual period.

Equity [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies Registration Rights The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities, and certain Promissory Notes, are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Business Combination Marketing Agreement The Company has engaged underwriters as advisors in connection with its business combination to assist it in holding meetings with the Company’s stockholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’s attributes, introduce it to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with the potential business combination, assist it in obtaining stockholder approval for the business combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. The Company will pay the Marketing Fee (as defined in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended, that was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2021) for such services upon the consummation of its initial business combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, including the proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters will not be entitled to such fee unless the Company consummates its initial business combination. In connection with the Extension, stockholders holding 20,317,255 shares of Flame Class A common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, representing approximately 70.67% of our issued and outstanding Flame Class A common stock. After this redemption, 8,432,745 shares of Flame Class A common stock remained outstanding. If no additional public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares of Flame Class A common stock, the amount of effective underwriting commissions due to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Business Combination will represent 11.9% of the aggregate proceeds from the Flame IPO retained by Flame. Underwriters Agreement On March 1, 2021, the Company paid a fixed underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $5,750,000 in the aggregate. Deferred Legal Fees As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has incurred unbilled legal costs of $3,348,198 and $2,633,139, respectively, related to its prospective initial Business Combination. These costs are deferred until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
