Note 3—Initial Public Offering
On September 21, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 Units, including 2,500,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $14.5 million, inclusive of approximately $8.8 million in deferred underwriting commissions.
Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share, and
one-fourth
of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of
$11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).
Note 4—Related Party Transactions
On August 7, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 6,468,750 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, (the “Founder Shares”). The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 843,750 Founder Shares to the extent that the over- allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On September 21, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 2,500,000 Over-Allotment Units; thus, an aggregate of 218,750 Founder Shares were forfeited accordingly.
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 or (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 or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7.0 million.
Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be
non-redeemable
and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.
Expense Reimbursement Agreement
On August 7, 2020, the Sponsor agreed pursuant to an expense reimbursement agreement (“Expense Reimbursement Agreement”) to advance the Company up to $300,000 to pay for a portion of the expenses in connection with the Initial Public Offering. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has a loan balance of approximately $119,000 from the Sponsor.
