Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our otherSEC filings. Such forward looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. No assurance can be given that results in any forward-looking statement will be achieved and actual results could be affected by one or more factors, which could cause them to differ materially. The cautionary statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements whenever they appear in this Quarterly Report. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with theSEC . All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that it will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective candidates for our initial business combination, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking the aforementioned activities are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to convert a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies
This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited condensed 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. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Investments Held in the Trust Account
Our portfolio of investments held in the trust account is comprised of

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in our Initial
Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of
such shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a
shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with our initial business
combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 480 ("ASC 480"), conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares
(including Class A ordinary shares 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. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the
redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are
excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Accordingly, as of
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260 ("ASC 260"), "Earnings Per Share." Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 9,082,500 shares of Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The Company's unaudited condensed statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted for redeemable Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account of$2,345 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 by the weighted average number of redeemable Class A shares outstanding for the period. Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable Class A and Class B shares ("Non-redeemable shares") is calculated by dividing the net loss of$351,669 , less income attributable to redeemable Class A shares, by the weighted average number of Non-redeemable shares outstanding for the period. AtMarch 31, 2022 , the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then participate in the earnings. As a result, diluted income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the period presented.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding
financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability
pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for
equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed
to the Company's own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity
classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional
judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent
quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or
modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the
warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional
paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not
meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be
recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance
sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are
recognized as a
non-cash
gain or loss on the statements of operations. The warrants issued in our Initial
Public Offering and Private Placement are equity classified.

Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of our Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to demand that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain registration rights which provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the founder shares, as described in Note 4, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement units and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement warrants, 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination.
The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to our Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at$10.00 per unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters exercised this option in full onNovember 23, 2021 .
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of
the gross proceeds of our Initial Public Offering, or
JOBS Act
OnApril 5, 2012 , the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. The Company will qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. The Company is electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, the Company may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. 24.
