Our Founding Team
Kevin E. Hartz is our Co-Founder and Co-Chief
Executive Officer and serves on our board of directors. He is an experienced entrepreneur, company executive, and investor with deep expertise in the technology sector. He was also a Co-Founder, Director, and
the Chief Executive Officer of one, a special purpose acquisition company that completed its initial public offering in August 2020, and consummated its initial business combination with Markforged, Inc. (NYSE: MKFG) in July 2021.
Mr. Hartz is the Co-Founder, Chairman, and former Chief Executive Officer of Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), a global self-service ticketing platform with over 300 million tickets distributed to more than
4 million experiences in 2019. Eventbrite is where people all over the world discover new things to do or new ways to do more of what they love. Prior to founding Eventbrite, Mr. Hartz was the
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Xoom, a leader and pioneer in the online consumer-to-consumer international money
transfer industry serving over 160 countries worldwide. Xoom was a publicly traded company acquired by PayPal in 2015 for $1.1 billion. Over the course of his career, Mr. Hartz invested in PayPal, Trulia, Airbnb, Pinterest, Uber, and
Opendoor among others. Mr. Hartz received a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree in History and Applied Earth Sciences from Stanford University and a Masters degree from University College, Oxford University.
We believe that Mr. Hartzs broad operational and transactional experience makes him well qualified to serve as Co-Chief Executive Officer and to serve on our board of directors.
Gautam Gupta is our Co-Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer. He was also a Director of one. Previously, Mr. Gupta served as the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Business Officer at
Opendoor.com (NASDAQ: OPEN) from October 2019 to September 2020, and was Opendoors Chief Operating Officer from July 2017 to October 2019. From April 2013 to July 2017, Mr. Gupta held various positions at Uber, most recently as Head of
Finance. From July 2007 to April 2013, Mr. Gupta worked at Goldman Sachs, initially as an Associate and later as a Vice President. Mr. Gupta holds an MBA from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a B.A.Sc in Computer Engineering
from Nanyang Technological University.
We believe that Mr. Guptas experience in technology and finance industries make him
well qualified to serve as Co-Chief Executive Officer.
Troy B. Steckenrider III is
our Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Steckenrider was also a Co-Founder, the Chief Financial Officer and a Director of one. Previously,
Mr. Steckenrider was Chief Operating Officer of ZeroDown, a fractional home ownership service. Prior to that, Mr. Steckenrider was Director of Capital Markets at Opendoor, a real estate platform, where he was responsible for building out
corporate infrastructure and supporting the companys growth. Earlier in his career, Mr. Steckenrider was on the private equity investment team at Bain Capital and served a wide variety of clients while at McKinsey & Company.
Mr. Steckenrider received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Dartmouth College and an MBA from Harvard Business School. He is a CFA charterholder.
We believe that Mr. Steckenriders broad operational and transactional experience makes him well qualified to serve as Chief
Financial Officer.
Our Independent Directors
Pierre Lamond serves as Chairman of our board of directors. Mr. Lamond was also Chairman of the board of directors of
one. Mr. Lamond is an experienced investor, serving as a General Partner at Sequoia Capital from January 1982 to December 2008, where he played a pivotal role in the expansion of the semiconductor, systems and software portfolios. While
at Sequoia Capital, he served as chairman of the board of directors of Cypress Semiconductor, Microchip Semiconductor, Vitesse Semiconductor, Open Silicon Inc., Redback Networks, Verisity and Plumtree and served as a member of the board of directors
of Mellanox Technologies and Xoom. From March 2009 to December 2014, Mr. Lamond was a General Partner at Khosla Ventures. From October 2015 to present, Mr. Lamond has been a partner at Eclipse Ventures.
48
Mr. Lamond is also a pioneer of the semiconductor industry. From February 1966 to
August 1981, Mr. Lamond co-founded and held various positions at the National Semiconductor Corporation, including Vice President and General Manager, Integrated Circuits and Chief Technology Officer and
Vice President, General Manager of Advanced Products. Prior to that, Mr. Lamond oversaw the development of the advanced high-frequency transistor and the first generation of digital integrated circuits at Fairchild Semiconductor from June 1961
to February 1966. Mr. Lamond holds an MSEE and an MS in Physics from the University of Toulouse, France.
We believe that
Mr. Lamonds broad operational and transactional experience make him well qualified to serve as Chairman of our board of directors.
Michelle Gill is currently the EVP and Group Business Unit Leader for Lending and Capital Markets at Social Finance Inc. (SoFi),
which she joined in April 2018 initially as SoFis Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Gill was also a Director of one. From July 2017 to April 2018, Ms. Gill was a Managing Director in the US Assets Business at Sixth Street Partners.
From February 2003 to April 2017, Ms. Gill served in various roles at Goldman Sachs, most recently as a partner, co-heading the Structured Finance business. During her time at Goldman Sachs, Ms. Gill
held numerous roles including running the Mortgage Finance business, starting and running a Re-Structuring team during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and running Whole Loan trading before ultimately co-heading the Structured Finance business. Prior to Goldman Sachs, Ms. Gill held positions at Lehman Brothers and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. Ms. Gill holds a JD from Cornell Law School and a
Bachelor of Arts from the University of California at Los Angeles.
We believe that Ms. Gills experience in technology and
finance industries make her well qualified to serve on our board of directors.
Ryan Petersen has, since April 2013, served
as the founder and CEO of Flexport, a technology platform for global trade. Prior to starting Flexport, Mr. Petersen was the founder and CEO of ImportGenius, a provider of transaction data for the global trade industry. He has experience
investing in numerous technology companies. He earned a BA from the University of California at Berkeley and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
We believe that Mr. Petersens leadership, operational and investment experience in the technology industry make him well qualified
to serve on our board of directors.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Holders of the founder shares will have the right to appoint and remove all of our directors prior to consummation of the Business Combination
and holders of the public shares will not have the right to vote on the appointment of directors during such time. Each of our directors will hold office for a three-year term. Incumbent directors will also have the ability to appoint additional
directors or to appoint replacement directors in the event of a casual vacancy.
Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and
serve at the discretion of our board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it
deems appropriate. Our officers may consist of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and such other offices as may
be determined by our board of directors.
Director Independence
The rules of the NYSE require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of the Initial Public Offering. An
independent director is defined generally as a person that, in the opinion of the companys board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an
organization that has a relationship with the company). Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Lamond, Ms. Gill and Mr. Petersen are an independent director under applicable SEC and NYSE rules. Our
independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee; a compensation committee; and a nominating and corporate governance
committee.
Subject to phase-in rules, the rules of NYSE and
Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of NYSE require that the compensation
committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee will operate under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors and has the composition
and responsibilities described below.
49
Audit Committee
We established an audit committee of the board of directors. Mr. Lamond, Ms. Gill and Mr. Petersen serve as members of our audit
committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of our audit committee members are independent. Ms. Gill serves as the chair of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of the
NYSE and our board of directors has determined that Ms. Gill qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.
The audit committee is responsible for:
|
|
|
assisting board oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements, (2) our compliance with
legal and regulatory requirements, (3) our independent auditors qualifications and independence, and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors; |
|
|
|
the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and
any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us; |
|
|
|
pre-approving all audit and
non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and
procedures; |
|
|
|
reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to
evaluate their continued independence; |
|
|
|
setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;
|
|
|
|
setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
|
|
|
|
obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (1) the
independent auditors internal quality-control procedures and (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or
professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues; |
|
|
|
meeting to review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with
management and the independent auditor, including reviewing our specific disclosures under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; |
|
|
|
reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation
S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and |
|
|
|
reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal,
regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any
significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. |
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
We established a nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors. The members of our nominating committee are
Mr. Lamond and Mr. Petersen, with Mr. Lamond serving as chairman. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Lamond and Mr. Petersen is an independent director.
The nominating committee is responsible for:
|
|
|
identifying, screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors, consistent with criteria
approved by our Board of Directors, and recommending to our Board of Directors candidates for nomination for appointment; |
|
|
|
developing and recommending to our Board of Directors and overseeing implementation of our corporate governance
guidelines; |
|
|
|
coordinating and overseeing the annual self-evaluation of our Board of Directors, its committees, individual
directors and management in the governance of the company; and |
|
|
|
reviewing on a regular basis our overall corporate governance and recommending improvements as and when
necessary. |
50
Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees
We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess.
In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and
the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of our board of directors. However, as we are not paying compensation to any employees, and have
already determined director compensation, we do not expect that the compensation committee will meet for substantive compensation purposes prior to our initial business combination. The members of our compensation committee are Ms. Gill and
Mr. Petersen. Mr. Petersen serves as chairman of the compensation committee. Our board of directors has determined that all of the directors on the compensation committee are independent. We have adopted a compensation committee charter,
which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
|
|
|
reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive
Officers compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officers performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;
|
|
|
|
reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to the compensation, and any
incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval of all of our other officers; |
|
|
|
reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans; |
|
|
|
implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans; |
|
|
|
assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
|
|
|
|
approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements
for our officers and employees; |
|
|
|
producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
|
|
|
|
reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
|
The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a
compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation
consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by the NYSE and the SEC.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity
that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without
charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman
Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
|
|
|
duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as
a whole; |
|
|
|
duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;
|
|
|
|
directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion; |
51
|
|
|
duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their
personal interests; and |
|
|
|
duty to exercise independent judgment. |
In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to
act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general
knowledge skill and experience of that director.
As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict
and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders
provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.
Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations
to other entities, including entities that are affiliates of our sponsor, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or
directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to honor his or her fiduciary or contractual
obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial
business combination.
Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary
duties, contractual obligations or other material management relationships:

Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
|
|
|
Our executive officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs,
which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial
business combination. Each of our executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our executive officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per
week to our affairs. |
52
|
|
|
Our sponsor subscribed for founder shares prior to the date of this report and purchased private placement shares
in transactions that closed simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option. Our sponsor and our management team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to
which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination
and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares
the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public
offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity. Additionally, our sponsor has agreed
to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the required time period. If we do not complete our initial business
combination within the required time period, the private placement shares and the underlying securities will expire worthless. Except as described herein, our sponsor and our management team have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their
founder shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or
exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar
transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, private placement shares, will not be transferable until 30 days
following the completion of our initial business combination. Because each of our executive officers and directors will own ordinary shares directly or indirectly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular partner
business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
|
|
|
Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business
combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a partner business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination. |
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination or subsequent transaction with a company that is affiliated with our
sponsor, founders, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our sponsor or any of our founders, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent
directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such initial business combination or transaction is fair to our company from a financial
point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context. Furthermore, in no event will our sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, be paid by us any finders fee,
consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial business combination.
We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if we receive approval pursuant to an ordinary
resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the shares voted at a general meeting of the company. In such case, our sponsor and each member of our management team have agreed to vote their founder
shares and public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in favor of our initial business combination.
Limitation on Liability
and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a companys memorandum and
articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful
default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law,
including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We entered into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in
addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. We purchased a policy of directors and officers liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost
of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and
have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever (except to
the extent they are entitled to funds from the trust account due to their ownership of public shares). Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust
account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from
bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if
successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholders investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these
indemnification provisions.
53
We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary
to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
Executive Officer and Director Compensation
None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Our sponsor, executive 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 partner businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our sponsor, executive officers or directors, or our or
their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional
controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our
activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, will be paid by the
company to our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.
After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid
consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection
with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at
the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be
determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of
our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms
of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management teams motivation in identifying or selecting a partner business but we do not believe that the ability of our management team to
remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors
that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Item 12. |
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
|
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Class A ordinary shares as of
March 21, 2022 by:
|
|
|
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares;
and |
|
|
|
each of our executive officers and directors; and |
|
|
|
all our executive officers and directors as a group. |
In the table below, percentage ownership is based on 22,066,250 Class A ordinary shares (which includes 21,437,500 Class A ordinary
shares sold in our initial public offering and pursuant to the over-allotment option, and 628,500 private placement shares) and 5,359,375 Class B ordinary shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Voting power represents the combined
voting power of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares owned beneficially by such person. On all matters to be voted upon, the holders of the Class A ordinary shares and the Class B ordinary shares vote together as a
single class.

Our initial shareholders beneficially owned approximately 21.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of our ordinary shares following our
initial public offering and the exercise of the over-allotment. Because of this ownership block, our initial shareholders may be able to effectively influence the outcome of all other matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including
amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approval of significant corporate transactions including our initial business combination.
Our sponsor and our management team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption
rights with respect to their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an
amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in
connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other
provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity. Further, our sponsor and each member of our management team have agreed to vote
their founder shares and public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in favor of our initial business combination.
Our sponsor is
deemed to be our promoter as such term is defined under the federal securities laws.
Changes in Control
None.
Item 13. |
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence |
In January 2021, our sponsor purchased 5,750,000 founder shares for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, of
which 750,000 were subject to forfeiture based on the extent to which the underwriters over-allotment option was exercised. In March 2021, our sponsor transferred 105,000 Class B ordinary shares to certain individuals, including our
independent directors. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that such founder shares would represent 20% of the issued and outstanding shares upon completion of our initial public offering. In April 2021, our
Sponsor forfeited 390,625 Class B ordinary shares in connection with the partial exercise of the over-allotment option. The founder shares (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain
limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.
Our sponsor purchased, pursuant to a written agreement, 628,500
private placement shares, at a price of $10.00 per share, in private placements which occurred concurrently with the closing of our initial public offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,285,000.
The private placement shares may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.
If any of
our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to honor his or
her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such entity. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.
55
No compensation of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, will be paid to
our sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential partner businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business
combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed.
There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
In addition, in order to 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 an initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released
to us. 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 $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement shares at a price of $10.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no
written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor, members of our management team or any of their affiliates 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.
After our initial business combination,
members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy
solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our
initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
We have entered into a registration and shareholder rights agreement pursuant to which our initial shareholders, and their permitted
transferees, if any, are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the private placement warrants, the securities issuable upon conversion of working capital loans (if any) and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of
the foregoing and upon conversion of the founder shares. Further, pursuant to an agreement to be entered into on or prior to the closing of our initial public offering, our sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial business combination,
will be entitled to nominate three individuals for appointment to our board of directors, as long as the sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement, which is described under the section of this report
entitled Description of SecuritiesRegistration and Shareholder Rights.
Our sponsor has indicated a potential interest
to purchase our shares in a private placement that would occur concurrently with the consummation of our initial business combination. It is expected that the capital from any such private placement, if made, would be used as part of the
consideration to the sellers in our initial business combination, and any excess capital from any such private placement would be used for working capital in the post-transaction company. Sponsor is under no obligation to buy any such shares and we
are not under any obligation to sell any such shares. Such investment would be made on terms and conditions determined at the time of the business combination.
Policy for Approval of Related Party Transactions
The audit committee of our board of directors operates pursuant to a charter, that provides for the review, approval and/or ratification of
related party transactions, which are those transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC, by the audit committee. At its meetings, the
audit committee is provided with the details of each new, existing, or proposed related party transaction, including the terms of the transaction, any contractual restrictions that the company has already committed to, the business purpose of the
transaction, and the benefits of the transaction to the company and to the relevant related party. Any member of the committee who has an interest in the related party transaction under review by the committee shall abstain from voting on the
approval of the related party transaction, but may, if so requested by the chairman of the committee, participate in some or all of the committees discussions of the related party transaction. Upon completion of its review of the related party
transaction, the committee may determine to permit or to prohibit the related party transaction.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of two
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the
accompanying balance sheet of two (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders deficit and cash flows for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through
December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statement
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Companys previously issued April 1, 2021 financial statement has been restated herein to correct
certain misstatements.
Basis for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

We have
served as the Companys auditor since 2021.

TWO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation
two (the Company) was incorporated as a Cayman
Islands exempted company on January 15, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the Business
Combination). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through
December 31, 2021 relates to the Companys formation and the initial public offering (the Initial Public Offering) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a Business Combination. The Company will
not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income from investments in the Trust Account derived
from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering.
The Companys sponsor is two sponsor, a Cayman Islands exempted limited company (the
Sponsor). The registration statement for the Companys Initial Public Offering was declared effective March 29, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Class A ordinary
shares (the Public Shares), at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.1 million (net of a required reimbursement from the
underwriter), of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public
Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per share. The Underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on April 13, 2021 purchased an additional 1,437,500 Class A
ordinary shares (the Additional Shares), generating gross proceeds of approximately $14.4 million (the Over-Allotment), and the Company incurred additional offering costs of approximately $755,000 (net of a required
reimbursement from the underwriter), of which approximately $503,000 was for deferred underwriting fees.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (Private Placement) of 600,000 Class A ordinary shares (the Private Placement Shares), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor,
generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million (see Note 4). Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on April 13, 2021, the Company consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase
of an aggregate of an additional 28,750 Private Placement Shares by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $287,500.
Upon the closing
of the Initial Public Offering the Over-Allotment, and the Private Placements, $214.4 million ($10.00 per share) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Shares in the
Private Placement were placed in a trust account (Trust Account), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will invest only in United States government
securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the
distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
The Companys management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the
net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the
deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company 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.
The Company will provide its holders of its Public Shares (the Public Shareholders) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to
whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata
portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.00 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred
underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares have been classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and the approval
of an ordinary resolution. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association (the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and file tender offer documents
with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem
shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against
the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4), Private Placement Shares and
any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will adopt an insider trading policy which will require insiders
to: (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout periods and when they are in possession of any material non-public information and (ii) to clear all trades with the Companys
legal counsel prior to execution. In addition, the initial shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business
Combination.
F-7
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that
a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a group (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the Exchange Act)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Companys Sponsor, officers and directors (the initial shareholders) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Companys obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Companys initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares
if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or April 1, 2023 (the Combination Period) or (B) with respect to any shareholders rights prior to
the initial Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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 the Company to pay the Companys income 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 liquidation 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
Companys obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The Sponsor,
officers and directors agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and any Private Placement Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the
initial shareholders or members of the Companys management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the
Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter agreed to waive their rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a
Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such
distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts
held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any
monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Companys indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to
reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Companys independent registered public accounting firm),
prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $983,000 in its operating bank account and working capital of approximately $1.2 million.
F-8
The Companys liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through $25,000 paid by the Sponsor to cover
certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan of approximately $81,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (as defined in Note 4), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust
Account of $2.5 million (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter). The Company repaid the Note in full on April 5, 2021. No additional borrowing is available under the Note 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 the Companys officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). As of
December 31, 2021, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have
sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Companys 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, the Company 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.
Note 2Restatement of Previously Filed Balance Sheet
In preparation of the Companys audited financial statements as of and for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through December 31 2021, the
Company concluded it should restate its previously issued balance sheet as of April 1, 2021 as reported in its Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 8, 2021 (the Post-IPO Balance Sheet) to classify all Class A ordinary shares subject to
redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously
classified a portion of its Class A ordinary shares in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter currently provides that the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would
cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. The Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity
in net tangible assets.
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the correction and has determined that the related impact was material to the Post-IPO Balance
Sheet. Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that the Post-IPO Balance Sheet should be restated to present all outstanding Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as temporary equity and to
recognize accretion from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public Offering. As such, the Company is reporting the restatement to the Post-IPO Balance Sheet in this filing. The previously presented Post-IPO Balance
Sheet should no longer be relied upon.

Note 3Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial
statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Emerging growth company
As an emerging growth
company, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with
the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding
a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration
statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to
opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the
time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison of the Companys financial statement with another public company
that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is
at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near
term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021.
F-9
Investments Held in Trust Account
The Companys portfolio of investments is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Companys investments held
in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Companys investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized
at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included
in income from investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation Coverage limit of $250,000. As of
December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair
value of the Companys assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet,
primarily due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
|
|
|
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active
markets; |
|
|
|
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly
observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
|
|
|
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an
entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the
fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering and were charged against the
carrying value of the Class A shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Class A Ordinary
Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with
the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A
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 the Companys control) are classified as temporary equity. At all
other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders equity. The Companys Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Companys control and subject to
the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2021, 21,437,500 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders deficit section of the
Companys balance sheet.
F-10
Under ASC 480-10S99, the Company has elected to recognize changes in
the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption
date for the security. Effective with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), the Company 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.
Income Taxes
The Company follows accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and a
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon
examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021. The Companys management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Companys only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review
that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman federal income tax regulations, income
taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Companys financial statement. The Companys management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over
the next twelve months.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The Company has 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, which assumes a business combination as the most likely outcome. Net loss per ordinary
share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
At
December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per
ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per share ordinary for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per
share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic
and diluted net loss per share for each class of ordinary shares:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entitys Own
Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the
derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted the ASU on January 15, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Companys financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

The Companys 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 accompanying financial statement.
Note 4Initial Public
Offering
On April 1, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Public Shares, at an offering price of $10.00 per
Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $11.1 million (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter), of which $7.0 million was for deferred underwriting
commissions.
The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the
Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Public Shares to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriter partially exercised the
over-allotment option and on April 13, 2021 purchased an additional 1,437,500 Class A ordinary shares (the Additional Shares), generating gross proceeds of approximately $14.4 million, and the Company incurred additional
offering costs of approximately $755,000 (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter), of which approximately $503,000 was for deferred underwriting fees.
Note 5Related Party Transactions
Founder
Shares
On January 21, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover expenses in consideration for 5,750,000
Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the Founder Shares). Up to 750,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter, so that the Founder
Shares would represent 20.0% of the Companys issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On March 8, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of Michelle Gill, Ryan Petersen and Laura de Petra, and
30,000 Founder Shares to Pierre Lamond. Such shares will not be subject to forfeiture in the event the underwriters over-allotment is not exercised. The underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option on April 13, 2021 and on
April 19, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 390,625 Class B ordinary shares for no consideration resulting in 5,359,375 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding with no shares subject to forfeiture.
The initial shareholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of:
(A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for
share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business
Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for
cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement Shares
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 600,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price
of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million. If the over-allotment option was exercised, the Sponsor could have purchased an additional amount of up to 60,000 Private Placement
Shares at a price of $10.00 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Shares was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment on
April 13, 2021, the Company consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 28,750 Private Placement Shares by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of
$287,500.
The Sponsor and the Companys officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their
Private Placement Shares until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.
Sponsor Loan
On January 21, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the Note). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $81,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full on April 5, 2021. No additional
borrowing is available under the Note.
F-12
Working Capital Loans
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 the
Companys officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (Working Capital Loans). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans.
In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company 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, without interest, or, at the lenders discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private
placement shares at a price of $10.00 per share. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2021, the
Company had no Working Capital Loans outstanding.
Administrative Support Agreement
On March 29, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor pursuant to which, commencing on the date the Companys securities were
first listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Companys
liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $90,000 in expenses for these services, respectively, which is included in
administrative expenses-related party on the accompanying statement of operations. No amount was due as of December 31, 2021.
Note
6Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares, and Class A ordinary shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans were
entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These holders were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers
such securities. In addition, these holders will have certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the
expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per share, or $4.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public
Offering. In addition, $0.35 per share, or approximately $7.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in
the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
The
underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and was entitled to an additional fee of approximately $755,000 (net of a required reimbursement from the underwriter), of which approximately $503,000 was for deferred underwriting
commissions fees.
Risks and Uncertainties
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 the Companys financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial
statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
