Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company
and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with
one or more businesses ("Business Combination"). We have reviewed, and continue
to review, a number of opportunities to enter into a Business Combination with
an operating business, but we are not able to determine at this time whether we
will complete a Business Combination with any of the target businesses that we
have reviewed or with any other target business.
We intend to consummate a Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of
our initial public offering (the "Public Offering") that closed on April 16,
2021 (the "Close Date") and the private placement of our Class A ordinary shares
("Private Placement Shares") that occurred at the Close Date, and from
additional issuances of, if any, our capital stock and our debt, or a
combination of cash, stock and debt.
At September 30, 2021, we held cash of $180,169 and current liabilities of
$92,347. Further, 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
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the period from January 4,
2021 ("Inception") to September 30, 2021, we incurred net losses of $314,334 and
$674,017, respectively. Our business activities from Inception to the Close Date
consisted primarily of costs associated with our formation. Our business
activities since our Public Offering have consisted solely of identifying and
evaluating prospective acquisition targets for a Business Combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to the closing of the Public Offering, our only sources of liquidity were
an initial sale of Class F ordinary shares (the "Founder Shares"), par value
$0.0001 per share, to our sponsor, TPG Pace Beneficial II Sponsor, Series LLC, a
Delaware series limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), and the proceeds of a
promissory note (the "Note") from our Sponsor, in the amount of $750,000.
The registration statement for our Public Offering was declared effective by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 13, 2021.
In our Public Offering, we sold 40,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at a price of
$10.00 per share, generating proceeds of $400,000,000, including the issuance of
5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares as a result of the underwriters' partial
exercise of their over-allotment option. Simultaneously with the effectiveness
of our Public Offering, we closed the private placement of an aggregate of
1,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (the "Private Placement Shares"), at a price
of $10.00 per share, to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $10,000,000.
At September 30, 2021, we had cash of $180,169 and working capital of $551,054.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting January 2022, the funds in the Trust Account may be invested only in
specified U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less and
in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury
obligations (collectively "Permitted Investments").
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditures required for operating our business prior to our Business
Combination. However, if our estimates 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 Class A ordinary shares at the completion of our
Initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities
or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination (including from our
affiliates or affiliates of our Sponsor).
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered
off-balance sheet arrangements. 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
At September 30, 2021, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease
obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. On the Close
Date, we entered into an administrative support agreement pursuant to which we
have agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $50,000 per month for
office space, administrative and support services. Upon the earlier of the
completion of the Initial Business Combination and the Company's liquidation, we
will cease paying these monthly fees.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our
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 condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the
periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Offering Costs
We comply with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, "Expenses of Offering."
We incurred offering costs of $799,929 in connection with our Public Offering
primarily consisting of accounting and legal services, securities registration
expenses and exchange listing fees. These costs, along with paid and deferred
underwriter discounts totaling $22,000,000, were charged to temporary equity at
the Close Date.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share". Net loss per
ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to ordinary
shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the period, plus to the extent dilutive the incremental number of shares
of ordinary shares to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock
method. At September 30, 2021, we had outstanding forward purchase contracts to
purchase up to 17,500,000 Class A ordinary shares. The weighted average of these
shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per ordinary
share since the exercise of the forward purchase contracts is contingent upon
the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary
share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods
presented.
As of September 30, 2021, we had two participating classes of ordinary shares,
Class A ordinary shares and Class F ordinary shares. The Company's Class G
ordinary shares convert to Class A ordinary shares at a certain point in time
after a Business Combination and then, only if the Company's Class A ordinary
shares are trading at certain levels. As such, our Class G ordinary shares are
determined to be non-participating for the purposes of computations of basic
earnings per share. The weighted average of
16
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per ordinary
share because its inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on
our financial statements.
