Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on August 10, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We have not selected any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity 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 from inception to September 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and, after the initial public offering, identifying 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 income on marketable securities held in 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 in connection with completing a business combination.

As a result of the restatement described in Note 2 of the notes to the financial statements included herein, we classify the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrant instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $5,006,392, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $1,617,391 offset by a reimbursement for consulting fees of $450,000 classified as a reduction in general and administrative expenses, the change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $6,091,500 and interest earned on investment held in the trust account of $82,283.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $4,390,529, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $241,366 offset by a reimbursement for consulting fees of $450,000 classified as a reduction in general and administrative expenses, the change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $4,166,100 and interest earned on investment held in the trust account of $15,795.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, as described below, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

On January 6, 2021, the registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective. On January 11, 2021, the Company consummated the initial public offering of 34,500,000 units and, with respect to the class A common stock included in the Units sold, the Public Shares, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their overallotment option in the amount of 4,500,000 Units, at $10 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold, in a private placement, 900,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $9,000,000.

Transaction costs amounted to $19,586,126, consisting of $6,900,000 in cash underwriting fees, $12,075,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $611,126 of other offering costs. Transactions costs amounting to $635,321 were allocated to the warrant liability and are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, cash of $2,075,000 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes. At September 30, 2021, cash of $853,220 was available to fund future operating costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 11, 2021, an amount of $345,000,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a Trust Account located in the United States at Morgan Stanley with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds 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 initial 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 completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021. 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 to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services, provided to the Company upon completion of our initial public offering.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of 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 periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liability

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The initial fair value of the public warrants was estimated using the closing public market price and the Modified Black Scholes Model for the private placement warrants.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 34,500,000 Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with ASC 480, conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including shares of Class A 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 the Company's control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. However, the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus public shares would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' deficit section of the Company's balance sheet.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value ($10.00 per share) at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional capital, in accumulated deficit.

Net Loss per Common Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share". Net income per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as calculated using the two-class method. At September 30, 2021, we had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 7,080,000 Class A common shares. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of common shares.

Recent Accounting Standards

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