the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). 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. Factors that might cause or contribute to
such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Our initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time we sign a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, we will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the
closing of the Initial Public Offering, or

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account 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, while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statement. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any 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 or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are 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.

Investments Held in Trust Account
Our portfolio of investments is comprised of
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 our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, as of
Derivative warrant 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.
We issued 7,000,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares to investors in
our Initial Public Offering and issued 6,767,927 Private Placement Warrants
exclusive of over-allotment. All of our outstanding warrants are recognized as
derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognized
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 statements of operations. The fair value of
warrants issued by us in connection with the Public Offering and Private
Placement has been estimated using
Net loss per ordinary share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260,
"Earnings Per Share." Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding during the
period excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. An aggregate of
32,837,178 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption on
We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per ordinary share. Net income (loss) per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on Investment held by the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.
Net income (loss) per ordinary share, basic and diluted for non-redeemable ordinary share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) less income attributable to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption by the weighted average number of shares of non-redeemable ordinary shares outstanding for the period presented.

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.
