Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statement and Related Audit


          Report.

On March 22, 2022, the Company's management (the "Management") and the audit committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Audit Committee"), concluded that due to a reclassification of the Company's temporary and permanent equity, the Company's previously issued (i) audited balance sheet as of March 15, 2021 (the "Post IPO Balance Sheet"), as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 19, 2021; (ii) unaudited interim financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, initially filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021 and (iii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2021 (collectively, the "Affected Periods"), should no longer be relied upon. Since the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"), the Company has considered the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable stock classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Upon further analysis, Management has determined that the Class A ordinary shares issued during the IPO and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' overallotment can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company's control. Therefore, Management concluded that the redemption value should include all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. In addition, the Company determined it should restate its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and loss shared pro rata between the two classes of shares.

The restatement does not have an impact on the Company's cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO. The Company's Management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Form 8-K with WithumSmith+Brown, PC.

While the Company adopted the above changes in the unaudited interim financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 included in the Company's Form 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2021, the Company presented the reclassification as a revision that did not require the restatement of previously issued financial statements. The Company has subsequently determined that such reclassification should be considered a restatement rather than a revision. As such, the Company will restate its financial statements for the Affected Periods in future filings.
