Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on
August 31, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar Business
Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business
Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the
sale of the Placement Units, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash,
stock 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.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations (other than searching for a Business
Combination after our Initial Public Offering) nor generated any revenues to
date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2021 were
organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public
Offering, described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering,
identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to
generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business
Combination, at the earliest. 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 for due
diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,855,821, which
consists of a change in the fair value warrant liabilities of $(1,508,833) and
interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $707,
offset by operating costs of $347,695.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $4,387,658, which
consists of a change in the fair value warrant liabilities of $4,938,000 and
interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $36,251,
offset by operating costs of $586,593.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 14, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 40,250,000
Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their
over-allotment option in the amount of 5,250,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per
Unit, generating gross proceeds of $402,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 900,000 Placement
Units at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit in a private placement to our
Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment
option, and the sale of the Placement Units, a total of $402,500,000 was placed
in the Trust Account. We incurred $22,583,792 in transaction costs, including
$7,000,000 of underwriting fees, $15,137,500 of deferred underwriting fees and
$446,292 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was
$411,700. Net income of $4,387,658 was offset by changes in the fair value of
warrant liabilities of $4,938,000 and interest earned on investments and
marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $36,251. Changes in operating
assets and liabilities provided $174,893 of cash from operating activities.

As of June 30, 2021, we had investments held in the Trust Account of
$402,501,707. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust
Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account
to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not withdraw any
interest income from the Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock or
debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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.
As of June 30, 2021, we had $465,183 of cash 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,
and 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 $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a
price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be
identical to the Placement Units.
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 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
consummation of our 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 complete such
financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we
are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have
sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and
liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if
cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in
order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any
off-balance
sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021.
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 affiliate
of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $15,000 for office space, utilities and
secretarial and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees
on December 9, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the
earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.35 per Unit of the
gross proceeds of the initial 35,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public
Offering, or $12,250,000, and (ii) $0.55 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the
Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $2,887,500. The deferred
fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust
Account solely in the event we complete a Business Combination, subject to the
terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of 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 financial statements, and income and expenses
during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liability
We account for the Warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public
Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC
815-40
under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must
be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the Warrants as liabilities
at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting
period. This liability is subject to
re-measurement
at each balance sheets date until exercised, and any change in fair value is
recognized in our Statements of operations.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity." Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory
redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair
value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that
feature 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, common stock
is classified as stockholders' equity. Our Class A common stock features certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject
to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common
stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside
of the stockholders' equity section of our balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
We apply the
two-class
method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basic and
diluted, for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the
interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the
weighted average number of shares of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding
for the periods presented. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and
diluted, for Class A and Class B
non-redeemable
common stock is calculated by dividing net income less income attributable to
Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of
Class A and Class B
non-redeemable
common stock outstanding for the periods presented.
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 January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified
retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021.
We adopted ASU
2020-06
effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU
2020-06
did not have an impact on our financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet
effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
