Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on
July 7, 2020, 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 Business
Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the
sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination
of cash, stock and debt. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, the
Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth
companies.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our
acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to
complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.
Our only activities since inception through September 30, 2021 were
organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public
Offering, described below, and, after our 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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $2,908,417
which consists of change in fair value of warrant liability of $3,256,540, an
unrealized loss on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $7,673,
interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $13,444,
interest income from bank accounts of $62, offset by formation and operational
costs of $353,956.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $16,735,457,
which consists of change in fair value of warrant liability of $17,436,980,
interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $61,532,
and interest income from bank accounts of $200, offset by formation and
operational costs of $755,582.

For the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had
a net loss of $1,905, which consisted of formation and operational costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 5, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000
Units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated
the sale of 7,750,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of
$1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $7,750,000.
On October 23, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment
option, resulting in an additional 40,000 Units issued for total gross proceeds
of $400,000. As a result of the underwriters' election to partially exercise
their over-allotment option a total of 10,000 Founders Shares are no longer
subject to forfeiture and 740,000 Founders Shares were forfeited. In connection
with the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option, we also
consummated the sale of an additional 12,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00
per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $12,000. A total of
$404,000 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds
held in the Trust Account to $202,404,000.
We incurred $11,434,768 in transaction costs, including $4,008,000 of
underwriting fees, $7,014,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $412,768 of
other costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities
was $476,106. Net income of $16,735,457 was affected by interest earned on
marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $61,532 and the change in
fair value of warrants of 17,436,980. Changes in operating assets and
liabilities provided by operating activities of $279,276.
For the period from July 7, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, cash
used in operating activities was $25,105. Net loss of $1,905 was affected by
changes in operating assets and liabilities which used $23,200 cash in operating
activities.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities held in the
Trust Account of $202,493,502. 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 and income taxes
payable), to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay
franchise and income taxes. During the period ended September 30, 2021, we did
not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account. To the extent that our
capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete
our 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 September 30, 2021, we had cash of $829,199 outside of 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.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in
connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders or an affiliate
of the initial stockholders or certain of our directors and officers 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 $1,500,000 of such
loans may be convertible into warrants identical of the post-Business
Combination entity, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrant 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 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 consummation
of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or
incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance
with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing
simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable
to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds
available to us, we will be forced to
24

cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our
Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain
additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet 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, utilities and secretarial and
administrative support. We began incurring these fees on September 30, 2020 and
will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of
the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,014,000
in the aggregate. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 financial statements, and income and expenses
during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.
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 Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480") and ASC 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.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance
with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480
"Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Common stock subject to mandatory
redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value.
Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is
classified as stockholders' equity. Our common stock features certain redemption
rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to
occurrence of uncertain
25
Table of Contents
future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is
presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders'
equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We
apply the two-class method in calculating net income (loss) per share. Accretion
associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common shares is excluded from
income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt-Debt with Conversion and
Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in
Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments
and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies
accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models
required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions
that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope
exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in
certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with
early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if
any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
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 condensed financial statements
