Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of 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

Therefore, we, in consultation with our Audit Committee, concluded that our previously issued financial statements for the Affected Periods should be restated because of a misapplication in the guidance around accounting for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption and our warrants and should no longer be relied upon.

The identified errors had no effect on our previously reported revenue, operating expenses, operating income, total cash flows or cash.
In connection with the restatement, our management reassessed the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures for the periods affected by the restatement. As a result of that reassessment, management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures for such periods were not effective with respect to the classification of our warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. For more information, see Item 9A included in this Amendment No. 2.
The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported for these periods is superseded by the information in this Amendment No. 2, and the financial statements and related financial information contained in such previously filed reports should no longer be relied upon.
The restatement is more fully described in Note 2 of the notes to the financial statements included herein.

As a result of the restatement described in Note 2 of the notes to the financial statements included herein, we classify the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering, Private Placement as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrant instruments to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of
Prior to the consummation of the Public Offering on
Based on the foregoing, our management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our 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 these funds 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 the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the balance sheet. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or 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, loan us funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). If
we complete a Business Combination, we may repay the Working Capital Loans out
of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working
Capital Loans could be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account.
In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of
proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but
no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital
Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a
Business Combination or, at the lenders' discretion, up to
Contractual Obligations Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance
with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity."
Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) 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 outstanding common stock features certain redemption rights that are
considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of
uncertain future events. Accordingly, at
Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the periods. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement in the calculation of diluted loss per common stock, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net loss per common stock is the same as basic net loss per common stock for the periods presented.
Our statement of operations include a presentation of loss per share for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of loss per share. Net loss per common stock, basic and diluted, for Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A Common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.
Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for loss on marketable securities attributable to Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period.
Non-redeemable common stock includes Class B common stock and non-redeemable shares of Class A common stock. Non-redeemable common stock participates in the loss on marketable securities based on non-redeemable shares' proportionate interest.

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 30,980,000 common shares warrants in connection with our Initial
Public Offering (20,700,000) and Private Placement (10,280,000) which are
recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly,
we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust 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 statement of operations. The fair value of
warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private
Placement have been estimated using

Recent Issued Accounting Standards
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
As of
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, our 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 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 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 Public Offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
