accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, "Disclosure of
Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,"
management has determined that the liquidity condition, the date of the
mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as a working deficit

concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or
liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after

Contractual Obligations
Registration and Shareholders' Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A 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 these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. 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 final prospectus relating
to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to
cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the
underwriting discounts and commissions. On

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Investments Held in the Trust Account
Our portfolio of investments held in the trust account is comprised of
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
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 occurrence of uncertain future events, Accordingly,
at
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.
Derivative Warrant liabilities
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 FASB ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the "Public
Warrants") and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative
liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognize 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 the Company's statement of operations. The fair value of warrants
issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement was
initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and
subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement. The fair value of
warrants issued in connection with the Company's Initial Public Offering has
subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants. As
of
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,383,333 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
Our management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

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.
