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

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company
on December 1, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a Business
Combination. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to
all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
Our Sponsor is Warburg Pincus Capital Corporation
I-A
Sponsor, L.P. The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was
declared effective on March 4, 2021. On March 9, 2021, we consummated its
Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $250.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately
$14.3 million, of which approximately $8.8 million was for deferred underwriting
commissions (Note 6). On April 16, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised
the over-allotment option, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the
3,342,178 Over-Allotment Units occurred on April 20, 2021. The issuance by us of
the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per such units resulted in total
gross proceeds of approximately $33.4 million, and the incurrence of
approximately $1.8 million in offering costs, of which approximately
$1.2 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated
the Private Placement of 5,333,333 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of
$1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds
of $8.0 million (Note 4). On April 20, 2021, simultaneously with the issuance
and sale of the Over-Allotment Units, we consummated the sale of an additional
445,624 Private Placement Warrants pursuant to the Over-Allotment Private
Placement, generating gross proceeds of approximately $668,000.
The Offering Proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Over-Allotment
Units, together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placements
(approximately $283.4 million in the aggregate), were placed in the Trust
Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and
will be invested in United States government treasury bills with a maturity of
185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries
and meeting certain conditions under Rule
2a-7
under the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of:
(i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the
Trust Account as described below.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of
the Offering Proceeds, although substantially all of such 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 deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable
on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time we sign a definitive
agreement in connection

                                       22

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 the "Combination
Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days
thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, 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 us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to $100,000
of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the
then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish
Public Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive
further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining
shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the
case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company's obligations under Cayman
Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other
applicable law.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $1.6 million in its operating
bank account and working capital of approximately $1.5 million.
Our liquidity needs through September 30, 2021 and prior have been satisfied
through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in
exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of approximately $78,000
from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note, and the proceeds from the consummation of
the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. We repaid the Note in full
on March 9, 2021. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in
connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the
Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to,
provide us Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2021, there were no
amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working
capital and borrowing capacity from our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor,
or certain of our 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, we will be using the funds held outside 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 on the industry 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 the condensed financial statements. The
condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2021was in preparation
for our formation and the Initial Public Offering. We will not be generating any
operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business
Combination at the earliest.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of
approximately $2.5 million, which consisted of approximately $4,000 of income
from investments held in the Trust Account, approximately $2.9 million in
non-operating
gain resulting from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities,
and offset by approximately $375,000 in general and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of
approximately $50,000, which consisted of approximately $9,000 of income from
investments held in the Trust Account, approximately $1.4 million in
non-operating
gain resulting from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities,
offset by approximately $397,000 in offering costs associated with derivative
warrant liabilities, and approximately $965,000 in general and administrative
expenses.
Contractual Obligations
Registration 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) were entitled to
registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. 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.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the underwriters a
45-day
option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,750,000
additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting
discounts and commissions. On April 16, 2021, the underwriters partially
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase the Over-Allotment Units (See
Note 1).
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or
approximately $5.0 million and $0.7 million ($5.7 million in the aggregate),
paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the
Over-Allotment Units, respectively. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or
approximately $9.9 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters
for deferred underwriting commissions. 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.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on the New York
Stock Exchange through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business
Combination or its liquidation, we agreed to reimburse the Sponsor or an
affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative
services provided to us in the amount of $10,000 per month.
In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective
affiliates will be reimbursed for any
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as
identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable
Business Combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all
payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or their
respective affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business
Combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account.
We incurred $30,000 and $70,000 in general and administrative expenses (related
party) in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. As of
September 30, 2021, we had accrued approximately $10,000, for services in
connection with such agreement on the condensed balance sheets. There was no
outstanding balance under this agreement as of December 31, 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies
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. 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.

                                       24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
The Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC
815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities
at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at
each reporting period until they are exercised. The initial fair value of the
Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the
fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a
binomial lattice model in a risk-neutral framework. As the transfer of Private
Placement Warrants to anyone who is not a permitted transferee would result in
the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public
Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Placement
Warrant is equivalent to that of each Public Warrant. The determination of the
fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current
information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ
significantly. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use
of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
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) is
classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value.
Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class ordinary
shares that features 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 Initial Public Offering, 28,342,178 Class A ordinary
shares subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as
temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' equity section of our balance
sheet. There were no Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding as of
December 31, 2020.
Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including exercise of
the over-allotment option), we recognized the accretion from initial book value
to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional
paid-in
capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
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 common
share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average
shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
The calculation of diluted net income (loss) does not consider the effect of the
warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including
exercise of the over-allotment option) and the private placement warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 11,447,393 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation
of diluted income (loss) per share, because their exercise is contingent upon
future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury
stock method. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as
basic net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary
shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates
fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued 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 it simplifies the
diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU
2020-06
on January 1, 2021 using a modified retrospective method of transition. Adoption
of ASU
2020-06
did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

The Company's management does not believe that any other recently issued, but
not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would
have a material effect on the Company's unaudited condensed financial
statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 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 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 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
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 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.
