As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 6, 2019 (date of inception) through December 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Offering”), as described in Note 4, and identifying a target Business Combination, as described below.
