We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in
The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective onMarch 17, 2021 , the "Initial Public Offering." OnMarch 22, 2021 , we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 55,000,000 Stakeholder Aligned Initial Listing securities, or SAIL SM securities (each, a "SAIL", and collectively, "SAILs"), including 5,000,000 SAILs as a result of the underwriters' exercise in part of their over-allotment option. The SAILs were sold at an offering price of$10.00 per SAIL, generating gross proceeds of$550.0 million , and incurring offering costs of approximately$31.0 million , of which approximately$19.3 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated
the private placement ("Private Placement") of 12,000,000 warrants (each, a
"Private Placement Warrant" and collectively, the "Private Placement Warrants"),
at a price of
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement,$550.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account ("Trust Account") located inthe United States , withContinental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only inU.S. "government securities," within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in directU.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. 21

If we do not complete an Initial Business Combination within this period of time (and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend this date), it 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, of$10.00 , and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations underDelaware law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. The Initial Stockholders, officers and directors entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Alignment Shares and Public Shares they hold in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any Alignment Shares and Public Shares they hold in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if we have not consummated an Initial Business Combination within the Business Combination Period (as defined in Note 1) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders' rights or pre-combination transaction activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Alignment Shares they hold if we fail to complete the an Initial Business Combination within the Business Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if we fail to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Business Combination Period).

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 an Initial Business Combination or one year from this filing. However, in connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern," we have untilMarch 22, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate afterMarch 22, 2023 . We intend to complete a Business Combination by the required liquidation dateMarch 22, 2023 .
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our condensed financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies are the most important to the depiction of our financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with theSEC onMarch 21, 2022 . There have been no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies during the six months endedJune 30, 2022 .
We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates have a higher
degree of inherent uncertainty and require our most significant judgments. There
were no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six

Registration Rights
The holders of the Alignment Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock into which such securities may convert and that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Alignment Shares) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we registered such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion 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 underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 7,500,000 additional SAILs, to cover any over-allotment, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. OnMarch 22, 2021 , the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 5,000,000 SAILs.
The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount 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 condensed 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
