We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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.
Further, our sponsor, officers and directors or their respective affiliates have
committed to loan us funds as may be required (the "Working Capital Loans"). If
we complete a business combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans. In
the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of
proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but
no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital
Loans. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The
notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination,
without interest, or, at the lender's discretion, or converted upon consummation
of a business combination into additional Private Warrants at a price of

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern", management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial 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 initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Further, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a
Business Combination by
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as ofJune 30, 2022 . 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 entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets. Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and applicable authoritative guidance inFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480") and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the Warrants 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 are indexed to the Company's own ordinary 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 as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants 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, liability-classified 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 such warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. We account for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. 21

Redeemable Shares of Class A Ordinary shares
All of the 31,921,634 shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units
sold as part of the Public Offering contain a redemption feature as described in
the prospectus for the Public Offering. In accordance with FASB ASC 480,
"Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity", redemption provisions not solely
within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside
of permanent equity. The Charter provides a minimum net tangible asset threshold
of
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary
shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata
between the two classes of shares. The potential ordinary shares for outstanding
warrants to purchase the Company's shares were excluded from diluted earnings
per share for the three and six months ended
Recent accounting standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's unaudited condensed financial statements.
