Overview


We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 25, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses (the "Business Combination"). Although there is no restriction or limitation on what industry our target operates in, it is our intention to pursue prospective targets that are focused on healthcare innovation. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is HSAC 2 Holdings, LLC (the "Sponsor"). The registration statement for our initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") was declared effective on August 3, 2020. On August 6, 2020, we consummated an Initial Public Offering of 16,000,000 ordinary shares (the "Public Shares"), including the 2,086,956 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters' full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $160.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $9.4 million, inclusive of $5.6 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (the "Private Placement") with the Sponsor of (i) 450,000 ordinary shares (the "Private Placement Shares") at $10.00 per Private Placement Share (for a total purchase price of $4.5 million) and (ii) 1,500,000 warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant (for a total purchase price of $1.5 million), generating gross proceeds of $6.0 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), $160.0 million ($10.00 per Public Share) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the "Trust Account") located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in U.S. "government securities," within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. As of September 30, 2022, the funds are solely held in cash.

We paid a total of $3.2 million in underwriting discounts and commissions (not including the $5.6 million deferred underwriting commissions payable at the consummation of the initial Business Combination) and approximately $0.6 million for other costs and expenses related to our formation and the Initial Public Offering.





                                       18




We will have until February 6, 2023 (taking into account the Extension Proposal described below, the "Combination Period"), or such later time as our shareholders may approve in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, to complete our initial business combination. If we do not complete a Business Combination by that date, it will trigger the Company's automatic winding up, liquidation and dissolution and, upon notice from us, the trustee of the Trust Account will distribute the amount in the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders. Concurrently, we shall pay, or reserve for payment, from funds not held in trust, its liabilities and obligations, although we cannot assure that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. If there are insufficient funds held outside the Trust Account for such purpose, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us and which have not executed a waiver agreement. However, we cannot assure that the liquidator will not determine that he or she requires additional time to evaluate creditors' claims (particularly if there is uncertainty over the validity or extent of the claims of any creditors). We also cannot assure that a creditor or shareholder will not file a petition with the Cayman Islands Court which, if successful, may result in the Company's liquidation being subject to the supervision of that court. Such events might delay distribution of some or all of our assets to the Public Shareholders. The holders of the Insider Shares (as defined below) prior to the Initial Public Offering (the "Initial Shareholders") have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Insider Shares and the Private Placement Shares held by them if we fail to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account in the event we do not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of our Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per ordinary share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per ordinary share initially held in the Trust Account.





Proposed Business Combination



On July 4, 2022, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger agreement (as amended on July 21, 2022, the "Merger Agreement") with HSAC Olympus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary ("Merger Sub"), and Orchestra BioMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Orchestra"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between us and Orchestra (the "Orchestra Business Combination") will be effected in two steps. First, before the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination, we will deregister in the Cayman Islands and domesticate as a Delaware corporation. Second, at the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination, Merger Sub will merge with and into Orchestra, with Orchestra surviving such merger as the surviving entity (the "Merger"). Upon consummation of the Orchestra Business Combination, Orchestra will become our wholly owned subsidiary. We will then change our name to "Orchestra BioMed Holdings, Inc." We refer to the Company, after giving effect to the Orchestra Business Combination, as "New Orchestra."

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto. The consummation of the proposed Merger is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we and Orchestra entered into separate forward purchase agreements (the "Forward Purchase Agreements") with certain funds managed by RTW Investments, LP (the "RTW Funds") and Covidien Group S.à.r.l., an affiliate of Medtronic plc ("Medtronic" and the RTW Funds, each a "Purchasing Party"), pursuant to which each of the Purchasing Parties agreed to purchase approximately $10.0 million of our ordinary shares, for a total of approximately $20.0 million, less the dollar amount of our ordinary shares holding redemption rights that the Purchasing Party acquires and holds until immediately prior to the domestication.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement and Forward Purchase Agreements, we, Orchestra, and the RTW Funds entered into a Backstop Agreement (the "Backstop Agreement") pursuant to which the RTW Funds, jointly and severally, agreed to purchase such number of our ordinary shares at a price of $10.00 per share to the extent that the amount of Parent Closing Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as of immediately prior to the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination is less than $60.0 million (inclusive of the $10.0 million commitment by the RTW Funds pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement described above).





                                       19




On October 21, 2022, the parties amended both the Backstop Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement to provide that: (1) the per share purchase price under each of the Backstop Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement will not exceed the redemption price available to Public Shareholders exercising redemption rights at the shareholder meeting held to approve the Business Combination; (2) any shares purchased pursuant to the Backstop Agreement or the Forward Purchase Agreement, or otherwise acquired by the RTW Funds outside of the existing redemption offer, will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and (3) the RTW Funds will waive redemption rights with respect to such purchases in the vote to approve the Business Combination. The amendments have been filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 21, 2022.

The closing under the Forward Purchase Agreement with the RTW Funds occurred on July 22, 2022, pursuant to which the RTW Funds purchased 1,000,000 of our ordinary shares at a price of $10.01 per share from an accredited investor in a privately negotiated transaction. The closing under the Forward Purchase Agreement with Medtronic and the closing under the Backstop Agreement, if any, will occur immediately prior to the domestication. Our Sponsor and the Purchasing Parties will have registration rights pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement with respect to our ordinary shares received in the domestication. We refer to our ordinary shares, after giving effect to the Business Combination, as "New Orchestra Common Stock."

In addition, the Sponsor has agreed that 25% or 1,000,000 shares of its New Orchestra Common Stock received in the domestication will be forfeited to New Orchestra on the first business day following the fifth anniversary of the closing unless, as to 500,000 shares, the VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the New Orchestra Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share over any 20 Trading Days (as defined in the Merger Agreement) within any 30-Trading Day period, and as to the remaining 500,000 shares, the VWAP of the New Orchestra Common Stock is greater than or equal to $20.00 per share over any 20-Trading Days within any 30-Trading Day period. In addition, subject to the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to forfeit 50% of its Private Placement Warrants, comprising 750,000 Private Placement Warrants, for no consideration. Further, the Sponsor and our other Initial Shareholders prior to our Initial Public Offering have agreed to subject the 4,000,000 shares of New Orchestra Common Stock to be received in the domestication in exchange for the 4,000,000 Insider Shares and 450,000 shares of New Orchestra Common Stock to be received in the domestication in exchange for the 450,000 Private Placement Shares, to a lock-up for up to 12 months.

See the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by us with the SEC on August 8, 2022, and any amendments thereto and the final proxy statement/prospectus that we may subsequently file with the SEC, for additional information.

Extension, Redemptions and Private Purchase

On July 26, 2022, we held an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, where the shareholders approved a special resolution (the "Extension Proposal") to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to: (i) extend from August 6, 2022 (the "Original Termination Date") to November 6, 2022 (the "Extended Date"), the date by which, if we have not consummated a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving one or more businesses or entities, we must liquidate and dissolve, and (ii) allow us, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to three times by an additional one month each time after the Extended Date, upon five days' advance notice prior to the applicable deadlines, until February 6, 2023 or a total of up to six months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred. On October 31, 2022, our directors elected to extend the deadline until December 6, 2022.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Proposal, the holders of 9,237,883 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.02 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $92.6 million. As such, approximately 57.7% of the Public Shares were redeemed and approximately 42.3% of the Public Shares remain outstanding. After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in our Trust Account was $67.8 million.





                                       20




On July 22, 2022, the RTW Funds purchased 1,000,000 of our ordinary shares at a price of $10.01 per share from an accredited investor in a privately negotiated transaction, in order to fulfill their obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreements and to ensure that such shares purchased were not redeemed and the amounts that would have been paid by us if such shares were redeemed remain in our trust account at the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination.

See the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by us with the SEC on August 8, 2022, and any amendments thereto and the final proxy statement/prospectus that we may subsequently file with the SEC for additional information.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $735,000 of cash in our operating account and a working capital deficit of approximately $568,000.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs had been satisfied through a payment of $28,750 from our Sponsor to exchange for the issuance of 3,593,750 ordinary shares to the Sponsor, and a loan of $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note originally issued to our Sponsor on June 11, 2020 (the "Note"), which was repaid in full on August 7, 2020. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, our liquidity needs have been satisfied with the net proceeds from the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, provide us loans, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion (the "Working Capital Loans"). As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity 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. However, in connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," we have determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to complete the Business Combination prior to the liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after February 6, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Various social and political circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including rising trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the United States and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may also contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Specifically, the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine and resulting market volatility could adversely affect our ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete a business combination and the value of our securities.

Management continues to evaluate the impact of these types of risks on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these types of risks 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 these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations



We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account. We are incurring expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance) and expenses related to our search for an initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of approximately $686,000, which consisted of approximately $784,000 in general and administrative expenses and related party administrative fees of $30,000, partially offset by approximately $128,000 of interest income from investments held in the Trust Account.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $90,000 which consisted of approximately $64,000 in general and administrative expenses and $30,000 in related party administrative fees, partially offset by approximately $4,000 of interest income from investments held in the Trust Account.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of approximately $1.9 million, which consisted of approximately $2.1 million in general and administrative expenses and related party administrative fees of $90,000, partially offset by approximately $345,000 of interest income from investments held in the Trust Account.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $291,000, which consisted of approximately $213,000 in general and administrative expenses and $90,000 in related party administrative fees, partially offset by approximately $12,000 of interest income from investments held in the Trust Account.





Related Party Transactions



Insider Shares


On June 11, 2020, we issued 3,593,750 ordinary shares to the Sponsor (the "Insider Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $28,750. On August 3, 2020, we effected a share dividend of 0.113043478 ordinary shares for each outstanding share (an aggregate of 406,250 ordinary shares), resulting in an aggregate of 4,000,000 ordinary shares outstanding. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share dividend. The holders of the Insider Shares had agreed to forfeit an aggregate of up to 521,739 Insider Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional ordinary shares is not exercised in full by the underwriters. On August 6, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option; thus, the 521,739 Insider Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Insider Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until, with respect to 50% of the Insider Shares, the earlier of six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of our ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per ordinary share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the initial Business Combination, and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the Insider Shares, six months after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, or earlier in each case if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, we complete a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.





Related Party Loans


On June 11, 2020, our Sponsor agreed to loan us up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the Note. The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the date we consummate the Initial Public Offering. We borrowed $300,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full on August 7, 2020. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to us.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us the Working Capital Loans, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender's discretion, up to $500,000 of such loans may be converted upon consummation of the Business Combination into additional private warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. If we do not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Working Capital Loans will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside the Trust Account, if any. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.





                                       22




Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering, we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and certain office and secretarial services. Upon completion of the Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $30,000 in expenses for these services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $90,000 in expenses for these services. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0 and $150,000 were due to the Sponsor and are included in accrued expenses - related party on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Purchase Agreements and Backstop Agreement

On August 3, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we entered into a purchase agreement ("FPA") with our Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed that it will purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 ordinary shares of our Company at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million prior to, currently with, or following the consummation of a Business Combination, either in open market transactions (to the extent permitted by law) or in a private placement with us. This FPA commitment has been satisfied by the RTW Funds through: (a) an investment of $15 million in Orchestra's Series D Financing, and (b) the Forward Purchase Agreements described below.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, our Company and Orchestra entered into separate the Forward Purchase Agreements with the RTW Funds Medtronic, pursuant to which each of the Purchasing Parties agreed to purchase approximately $10.0 million of our ordinary shares, for a total of approximately $20.0 million, less the dollar amount of the our ordinary shares holding redemption rights that the Purchasing Party acquires and holds until immediately prior to the domestication.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement and Forward Purchase Agreements, our Company, Orchestra, and the RTW Funds entered into the Backstop Agreement, pursuant to which the RTW Funds, jointly and severally, agreed to purchase such number of the our ordinary shares at a price of $10.00 per share to the extent that the amount of Parent Closing Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as of immediately prior to the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination is less than $60.0 million (inclusive of the $10.0 million commitment by the RTW Funds pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement described above).

On October 21, 2022, the parties amended both the Backstop Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement to provide that: (1) the per share purchase price under each of the Backstop Agreement and the Forward Purchase Agreement will not exceed the redemption price available to Public Shareholders exercising redemption rights at the shareholder meeting held to approve the Business Combination; (2) any shares purchased pursuant to the Backstop Agreement or the Forward Purchase Agreement, or otherwise acquired by the RTW Funds outside of the existing redemption offer, will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and (3) the RTW Funds will waive redemption rights with respect to such purchases in the vote to approve the Business Combination. The amendments have been filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 21, 2022.

On July 22, 2022, the RTW Funds purchased 1,000,000 of the our ordinary shares at a price of $10.01 per share from an accredited investor in a privately negotiated transaction, in order to fulfill their obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreements and to ensure that such shares purchased were not redeemed and the amounts that would have been paid by us if such shares were redeemed remain in our Trust Account at the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination.





                                       23




The closing under the Forward Purchase Agreement with Medtronic and the closing under the Backstop Agreement, if any, will occur immediately prior to the domestication. Our Sponsor, and the Purchasing Parties will have registration rights pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement with respect to our ordinary shares, received in the domestication.

Company Shareholder Support Agreement and Forfeiture

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we and Orchestra entered into a support agreement (the "Parent Support Agreement") with the Sponsor and certain of our other shareholders (each a "Shareholder") pursuant to which the Shareholders identified therein have agreed (a) to appear at any shareholder meetings called to approve the Merger or any proposal to extend the period of time we are afforded under our organizational documents and our prospectus to consummate an initial business combination (an "Extension Proposal"), (b) not to redeem their shares or any other of our equity securities now or in future acquired or beneficially owned, (c) to vote such shares and equity securities (i) in favor of the domestication, the Merger and related transactions, (ii) in favor of any Extension Proposal, (iii) against any change in our business, management or board contrary to the Merger Agreement and against any other proposal reasonably expected to breach, prevent or impede the Merger, and (d) to waive anti-dilution and similar rights with respect to such shares, whether under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, applicable law, or a contract regarding the Merger and related transactions with us. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed that 25% or 1,000,000 shares of its New Orchestra Common Stock received in the domestication will be forfeited to New Orchestra on the first business day following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination unless, as to 500,000 shares, the VWAP (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the New Orchestra Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share over any 20 Trading Days (as defined in the Merger Agreement) within any 30-Trading Day period, and as to the remaining 500,000 shares, the VWAP of the New Orchestra Common Stock is greater than or equal to $20.00 per share over any 20-Trading Days within any 30-Trading Day period. Further, subject to the closing of the Orchestra Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to forfeit 50% of its warrants, comprising 750,000 warrants for no consideration.





Contractual Obligations



Registration Rights


The holders of the Insider Shares, the Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Insider Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Warrants or warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans made to us can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of the initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.





Underwriting Agreement


We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 2,086,956 additional ordinary shares at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On August 6, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per share, or $3.2 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $0.35 per share, or $5.6 million in the aggregate since the underwriters' over-allotment option was exercised in full. 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.





                                       24




Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Cash and Investments Held in the Trust Account

Our portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account has been comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When our investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When our investments held in the Trust Account were comprised of money market funds, the investments were recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest income from investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account were determined using available market information. As of September 30, 2022, only cash is held in the Trust Account.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including 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, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Our Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 6,762,117 and 16,000,000 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' deficit section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Under ASC 480-10-S99, we have elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of the reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date of the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." Net (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

The calculation of diluted net loss per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the Private Placement Warrants to purchase 1,500,000 ordinary shares since their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.





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 condensed consolidated 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
