Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements
on our current expectations and projections about future events. These
forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity,
performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "expect,"
"plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," or the negative of such
terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to
such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other

Table of Contents Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. We must complete one or more initial Business Combination(s) having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriters' fees and taxes payable on the interest income earned on the Trust Account at the time of the Company's signing of a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, we will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction 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.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days
thereafter, 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 tax obligations, if any (less up to

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, 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.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations
Administrative Support Agreement
Commencing on the date that the Company's securities were first listed on Nasdaq
through the earlier of our consummation of a Business Combination and its
liquidation, we agreed to pay the Sponsor, or an affiliate of the Sponsor,
In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company's behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including securities contained therein) and the units 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 or the warrants issued as part of the units upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, the holders will have "piggy-back" registration rights to include such securities in other registration statements filed by the Company and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company would not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company's securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
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
The 10,350,000 issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the "Public Warrants") and the 6,140,000 Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 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 our statement of operations. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants has been measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation. At issuance, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has been measured using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the Public Warrants has subsequently been determined using listed prices in an active market for such warrants. Warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity." Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory
redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at
fair value. 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all
other times, Class A 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 the occurrence of uncertain future
events. Accordingly, at
Net income per ordinary share
Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. We have not considered the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the Over-allotment) and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,490,000 A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The Company's condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per share, basic and diluted for Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on cash held in the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the periods.
Net income per share, basic and diluted for Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing general and administration expenses, noncash income for a change in fair value of warrant liabilities and offering costs associated with warrant liabilities, resulting in net income, by the weighted average number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding for the periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
The Company's management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company's unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
JOBS Act
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we 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 a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
