We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that it 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.
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations
Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, 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) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register 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 underwriters a 45-day option from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to 7,875,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. OnJanuary 12, 2021 , the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of
Forward Purchase Agreement
We entered into a forward purchase agreement (a "Forward Purchase Agreement") with certain investors (the "Forward Purchase Investor"), which provides for the purchase of$250,000,000 of forward purchase units (the "Forward Purchase Units"), with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share (a "Forward Purchase Share") and one-fifth of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share at$11.50 per share (a "Forward Purchase Warrant"), for a purchase price of$10.00 per unit, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement also provides that the Forward Purchase Investor may elect to purchase up to an additional$50,000,000 of Forward Purchase Units, which will also have a purchase price of$10.00 per Unit and consist of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one warrant. Any elections to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Forward Purchase Units will take place in one or more private placements in such amounts and at such time as the Forward Purchase Investor determines, but no later than simultaneously with the closing of the initial Business Combination. We and the Forward Purchase Investor may determine, by mutual agreement, to increase the number of additional Forward Purchase Units at any time prior to the initial Business Combination. The obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement do not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The forward purchase securities will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. Critical Accounting Policies Derivative 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
and ASC
815-15.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
re-assessed
at the end of each reporting period.
The 12,075,000 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering
(the "Public Warrants"), the 9,383,333 Private Placement Warrants, the 5,000,000
committed forward purchase warrants and the 1,000,000 additional forward
purchase warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with
ASC
815-40.
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 our unaudited condensed statement of operations. The fair value of
the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering, Private
Placement Warrants and forward purchase agreement were initially measured at
fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value
of the Private Placement Warrants and forward purchase warrants have been
estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair
value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering
have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such
warrants.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs
incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the
Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial
instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value
basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with
derivative liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as
non-operating
expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the
Class A ordinary shares were included in temporary equity along with accretion
of the Class A ordinary shares. For the three months ended
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity." 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 the Company's control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain
future events. Accordingly, as of
We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.
Net loss per Ordinary Shares
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 number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share does not
consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public
Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 21,458,333
ordinary shares since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury
stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the
same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the three months ended
Non-cash
compensation to Sponsor
We record
non-cash
compensation recognized as a result of the fair value of the Private Placement
Warrants being in excess of the amount paid by the Sponsor, pursuant to ASC 718,
Share-based Compensation.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As ofMarch 31, 2021 , we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
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 unaudited 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 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.
