Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this "Annual Report") includes forward-looking
statements within 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 filings with the
57 Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our entire activity since inception has been to prepare for our initial public
offering, which was consummated on
The issuance of additional shares in connection with a business combination to the owners of the target or other investors:
? may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the initial public
offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the
Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on
a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;
? may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preference
shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary
shares;
? could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A ordinary
shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our
net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation
or removal of our present officers and directors;
? may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by
diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain
control of us; and
? may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares
and/or warrants. Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur
significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could
result in: default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations; acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding; and
our inability to pay dividends on our Class A ordinary shares.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with an initial Business Combination, our Sponsor, officers,
directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as
may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay
such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not
close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust
Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account
would be used for such repayment. Up to
Prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination, the Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account. Management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the earlier of a Business Combination or for the next 12 months. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders' equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' deficit section of our balance sheets.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
We complied with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and
Net Income (loss) Per Ordinary Share
Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for each of the periods. The calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) initial public offering, (ii) exercise of the overallotment option and (iii) the private placement to our Sponsor since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The Public Warrants and the Private Warrants are exercisable to purchase a total of 23,872,000 Class A ordinary shares.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Warrants (collectively, "Warrants", which are discussed in Note 2 and Note 5 in accordance with ASC 815-40, "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity", and concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities on the Balance Sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the initial public offering) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.

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 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 independent registered public accounting firm's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (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 report of the independent registered public accounting firm 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 Chief Executive Officer'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.
