Overview


We are a blank check company formed under the laws of Cayman Islands on March 11, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering that occurred on November 23, 2021, and the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the initial public offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.





Results of Operations


We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and since the closing of the initial public offering, the search for a prospective initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held after the initial public offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as due diligence expenses.





                                       18




For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net income of $6,888,974, which resulted from a gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,044,187, unrealized gain on marketable securities, along with interest and dividends, held in the Trust Account of $66,245, and other income of $23, partially offset by formation and operating costs of $221,481.

For the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $9,854, which resulted from formation and operating costs of $9,854.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 23, 2021, we consummated an initial public offering of 20,125,000 units generating gross proceeds to the Company of $201,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, we completed the private sale of 10,150,000 private placement warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $10,150,000.

Following the closing of the initial public offering on November 23, 2021, an amount of $205,275,000 ($10.20 per Unit) comprised of $197,225,000 of the proceeds from the initial public offering and $8,050,000 of the proceeds from the private placement were placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the "Trust Account"). Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay its franchise and income taxes and expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account, the proceeds from the initial public offering held in the Trust Account will not be released until the earliest of (i) the consummation of the initial business combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $105,577, which was due to a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,044,187, unrealized gain on marketable securities, along with interest and dividends earned, held in the Trust Account of $66,245, partially offset by net income of $6,888,974 and changes in working capital of $115,881.

For the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $0, which was due to a net loss of $9,854, offset by formation costs paid by Sponsor in exchange for issuance of Class B ordinary shares of $9,854.

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities, along with interest and dividends earned, held in the trust account of $205,358,802 consisting of securities held in a money market fund that invests in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash of $856,316 and $961,893, respectively, held outside the trust account. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.





                                       19




We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the initial public offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination, other than funds available from loans from our Sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial 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. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that our 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 $2,100,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor, its affiliates or our management team as we do 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 our Trust Account.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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 $2,100,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant unit at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

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 Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.





Contractual Obligations



Registration Rights


The holders of founder shares, private placement warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a 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. These holders are entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Promissory Note - Related Party

The Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $250,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the initial public offering. The loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due at the earlier of December 31, 2022 or the closing of the initial business combination. The loan will be repaid out of the offering proceeds that have been allocated to the payment of offering expenses. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had borrowed $162,569 under the promissory note.





Underwriting Agreement



We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the initial public offering to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 23, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of condensed 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 condensed 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.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 20,125,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in our initial public offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the our liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the business combination and in connection with certain amendments to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of us require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The remeasurement of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption to redemption value is excluded from the earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture is included in the calculation of basic income (loss) per share as of the date that the forfeiture contingency has lapsed. Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture is included in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share as of the beginning of the interim period in which the forfeiture contingency lapsed. We have not considered the effect of the public warrants and private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 20,212,500 shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.





Warrant Liabilities


We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. We issued 10,062,500 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares to investors in our initial public offering and simultaneously issued 10,150,000 private placement warrants. All of our outstanding warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize 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 the statement of operations. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering were measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model for the public warrants and private placement warrants.





Recent Accounting Standards


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





                                       21





JOBS Act


The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act will be 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, our condensed 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 (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 condensed 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.
