We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 29, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues as of June 30, 2021. Our only activities through June 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,244,949, which consisted of the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,830,000 and general and administrative expenses of $426,413, offset by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $11,464.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $17,069,105, which consisted of the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $17,690,000 and interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $100,526, offset by general and administrative expenses of $721,421.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 5, 2020, we completed the Initial Public Offering of 40,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 10,500,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $10,500,000.
Following our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $400,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $21,292,016 in transaction costs, including $7,275,000 of underwriting fees (net of expenses reimbursed by the underwriter of $225,000), $13,125,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $892,016 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $430,975. Net income of $17,069,105 was affected by the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $17,690,000, interest earned on investments of $100,526 and changes in operating assets and liabilities which provided $290,446 of cash from operating activities.
