The deferred portion of the discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete our initial business combination.

Our entire activity from inception up to September 30, 2021 was related to our formation and the initial public offering. Since the initial public offering, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate small
amounts of non-operating income in
the form of interest income on cash and investments. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.
