Overview

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 15, 2021 formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare and consummate the Initial Public Offering, described below, and the search for a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income on marketable securities held in our trust account (the "Trust Account"). We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,031,029 which consists of operating costs of $1,653,465, transaction costs allocated to warrant liability of $380,000 and a change in fair value of our warrant liability of $995,861, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $3,043 and dividend income of $3,532.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $6,629,071 which consists of operating costs of $1,031,706, offset by a change in the fair value of our warrant liability of $6,473,096 and dividend income of $1,420,606.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $2,260,092, which consisted of operating cost of $1,228,486, a change in fair value of our warrant liability of $3,485,513 and dividend income of $3,065.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $768,656, which consists of operating costs of $322,470, offset by a change in the fair value of our warrant liability of $248,966 and dividend income of $1,075,085.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of our Class B common stock by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

On March 12, 2021, we completed the Initial Public Offering of 23,817,701 Units, which included the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over- allotment option in the amount of 1,817,701 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $238,177,010. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 4,509,027 Private Placement Warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $6,763,540.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $238,177,010 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $13,341,815 in Initial Public Offering related costs, consisting of $4,367,540 in cash underwriting fees, $8,336,195 of deferred underwriting fees and $638,080 of other offering costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $931,110. Net income of $6,629,071 was affected by dividends earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,420,606 and change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $6,473,096. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $100,596 of cash from operating activities. For the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,046,477. Net loss of $1,031,029 was affected by transaction costs allocated to warrant liability of $380,000, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $3,043 and dividend earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $3,532, and change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $995,861. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $606,988 of cash for operating activities.

As of September 30, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $239,609,223 consisting of money market funds.

On October 24, 2022, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC in respect of proposals seeking stockholder approval to: (i) amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from March 12, 2023 (the "Original Termination Date") to December 15, 2022 or such earlier date as is determined by the Board in its sole discretion (such date the "Amended Termination Date" and such proposal the "Charter Amendment Proposal") and (ii) amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 9, 2021 (the "Trust Agreement") by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company ("Trustee") to change the date on which Trustee must commence liquidation of the Trust Account from the earlier of the Company's completion of a Business Combination and the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date ("Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal"). The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is to permit the wind-up, liquidation and dissolution of the Company promptly following the Amended Termination Date so that the holders of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock issued in the Initial Public Offering (the "Public Stockholders") may elect to redeem all or a portion of their issued and outstanding Class A Common stock issued in the Initial Public Offering (the "Public Shares") in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account without having to wait for approximately another 3 months for such capital to be returned, while continuing to earn minimal interest (such redemption the "Post-Amendment Share Redemption"). The Company has filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC in respect of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal. The Company has established October 31, 2022 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the stockholder meeting (the "Stockholder Meeting") being held to consider such proposals. If the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company will (i) immediately after the Stockholder Meeting, cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not later than the earlier of December 30, 2022 and ten business days after the Amended Termination Date, complete the Post-Amendment Share Redemption, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes, if any (less $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such Post-Amendment Share Redemption and subject to the approval of the Board and the Company's remaining stockholders after completion of the Post-Amendment Share Redemption, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Stockholder Meeting is scheduled to be held at 10:00 am, Eastern Time, on November 29, 2022, at the offices of Ropes & Gray LLP located at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036.

If we do not obtain stockholder approval for the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal at the Stockholder Meeting, and if we identify a counterparty to a potential business combination transaction, which we do not expect to do prior to the end of the Combination Period, we intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest and dividend income earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest and dividend income to pay franchise and income taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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.

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash of $156,644 outside of the Trust Account. If we do not receive stockholder approval for the Charter Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, then we intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. If we receive stockholder approval for the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, then we intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account to wind up and dissolve the Company.

On May 11, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note to its Sponsor permitting borrowings of up to $1,500,000 to provide the Company with working capital in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination (the "Working Capital Loan"). The Company received an initial $500,000 under the promissory note, with additional borrowings available only at the discretion of the Sponsor and its members. The Working Capital Loan is non-interest bearing, and is due upon consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loan out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loan will be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loan, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used to repay the Working Capital Loan. The Sponsor may opt to convert the outstanding balance of the Working Capital Loan to warrants, at price of $1.50 per warrant, of the post Business Combination entity (the "Working Capital Loan Warrants"). The terms of the Working Capital Loan Warrants will be identical to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants (see Note 7). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the note will not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account. As of September 30, 2022, $500,000 was outstanding under the Working Capital Loan.

We may raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or Sponsor's members in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our 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 Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 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 purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement that commenced on March 9, 2021, pursuant to which we pay an affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services and the Working Capital Loan from our Sponsor of up to $1,500,000, of which $500,000 was outstanding as of September 30, 2022. Upon the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and our liquidation, we will cease paying monthly fees to the Sponsor and will either repay the Working Capital Loan in full or convert the balance of the loan into Working Capital Loan Warrants.

Certain of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per share, or $8,336,195 in the aggregate, which reflects the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option. 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. The underwriters did not receive any upfront underwriting discount or commissions on the 1,980,000 Units purchased by the members of our Sponsor that are affiliated with PIMCO, but will receive deferred underwriting commissions with respect to such Units.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value.

Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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, common stock is classified as stockholders' equity. Our Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' deficit section of our condensed balance sheet.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2020-06, "Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2022. Adoption of the ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.
