Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 25,
2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange,
asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business
combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). We intend
to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of
our initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") and the sale of the
Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), our shares, debt or a combination
of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our
acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business
Combination will be successful.
Business Combination Agreement
On April 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as
it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Business Combination Agreement"), by and among J1 Holdings Inc., a Cayman
Islands exempted company ("PubCo"), J2 Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted
company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo ("Merger Sub 1") and J3
Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and direct wholly owned
subsidiary of PubCo ("Merger Sub 2") and Grab Holdings Inc. a Cayman Islands
exempted company ("Grab").
The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the
following transactions on the closing date: (i) the Company will merge with and
into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 as the surviving company in the merger and,
after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of
PubCo (the "Initial Merger"), (ii) following the Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2
will merge with and into Grab, with Grab as the surviving entity in the merger
and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary
of PubCo (the "Acquisition Merger"). The Initial Merger, the Acquisition Merger
and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement
are hereinafter referred to as the "Business Combination".
The Business Combination is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021,
following the receipt of the required approval by our shareholders and the
fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those
necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering and identifying a target
company for our initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any
operating revenues until after completion of our initial Business Combination.
We generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust
Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal,
financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses as
we conduct due diligence on prospective Business Combination candidates.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $83,708,515,
which consists of consists of
non-cash
gains of $49,582,029 and $41,941,059 related to changes in the fair value of the
Warrants and FPAs, respectively, interest income on marketable securities held
in the Trust Account of $21,794 and operating costs of $7,836,367. For the three
months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $49,385,333, which
consists of consists of non-cash gains of $24,983,421 and $31,354,748 related to
changes in the fair value of the Warrants and FPAs, respectively, interest
income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $7,682 and
operating costs of $6,960,518. For the period from August 25, 2020 (inception)
through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $5,000, which consisted of
formation and operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $57,423 in its cash account,
$500,021,794 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business
Combination or to repurchase or redeem its common stock in connection therewith
and a working capital deficiency of $6,768,904. As of September 30, 2021,
$21,794 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest
income, which is available for payment of taxes and expenses in connection with
the liquidation of the Trust Account.
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, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination. The
Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it
on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
As a result of the above, in connection with the Company's assessment of going
concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as
a Going Concern," management has determined that the liquidity condition and
date for mandatory liquidation and dissolution raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year
from the date of filing. 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.
Prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company's
liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital
contribution from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares
to the Sponsor, and a $300,000 promissory note payable to the Sponsor.
On October 5, 2020, we completed the Initial Public Offering of 50,000,000
Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their
over-allotment option in the amount of 5,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per
Unit, generating gross proceeds of $500,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 12,000,000 Private
Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement
Warrant generating gross proceeds of $12,000,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement
Warrants, a total of $500,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account, and we had
$1,961,900 of cash held outside of a trust account (the "Trust Account") after
payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for
working capital purposes. We incurred $28,244,738 in transaction costs,
including $10,000,000 of underwriting fees, $17,500,000 of deferred underwriting
fees and $744,738 of other costs.
As of September 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account
of $500,021,794 (including approximately $21,794 of unrealized gains) consisting
of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities
was $888,394. Net income of $83,708,515 was affected by an unrealized gain on
marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $21,794, change in fair value
of warrant liabilities of $49,582,029, change in fair value of FPA liability of
$41,941,059, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided
$6,947,973 of cash. As of September 30, 2020, we had no cash.

  Table of Contents
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account,
including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which
interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting
commissions, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from
the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or
debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a Business
Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as
working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses,
make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
At September 30, 2021, we had cash of $57,423 held outside of the Trust Account.
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify
and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective
target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations
of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review
corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses,
structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our
Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to,
loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we may
repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to
us. In the event that a 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 our Trust Account would be used for such
repayment. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a
price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be
identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of
the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking
in-depth
due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination 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 complete our Business Combination or
because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares
upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue
additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business
Combination.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered
off-balance
sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. We do not participate in
transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial
partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have
been established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance
sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any
off-balance
sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities,
guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any
non-financial
assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease
obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an
affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities
and secretarial, and administrative support services provided to the Company. We
began incurring these fees on September 30, 2020 and will continue to incur
these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination
and the Company's liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or
$17,500,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the
amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a
Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
We entered into forward purchase agreements which provides for the purchase by
each of Altimeter Partners Fund, L.P. and JS Capital LLC of up to an aggregate
of 20,000,000 units (the "forward purchase securities"), with each unit
consisting of one Class A ordinary share and
one-fifth
of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise
price of $11.50 per whole share, for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, in a
private placement to close concurrently with the closing of a Business
Combination.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and
expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ
from those estimates.

Warrant and FPA Liabilities
The Company accounts for the Warrants and FPAs as either equity-classified or
liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of
the Warrants and FPAs and the applicable authoritative guidance in Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480") and ASC 815, Derivatives
and Hedging ("Warrants and FPAs ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether they
are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition
of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity
classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants and FPAs are
indexed to the Company's own ordinary common shares and whether the holders of
the Warrants could potentially require "net cash settlement" in a circumstance
outside of the Company's control, among other conditions for equity
classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional
judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and execution of
the FPAs and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants
and FPAs are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the
criteria for equity classification, such 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, such 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
liability-classified warrants are recognized as a
non-cash
gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Class A Ordinary shares subject to
mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at
fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares
that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder
or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely
within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times,
ordinary shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Our Class A ordinary
shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of
our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly,
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary
equity, outside of the shareholders' equity section of our balance sheets.
Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company
recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value, which
resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available)
and accumulated deficit.
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC
Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." The Company has two classes of shares, which
are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income
and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income
(loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the
weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("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)
("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 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including
interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting pronouncement and
therefore has not yet adopted as of September 30, 2021.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our
condensed financial statements.
