Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating
off-balance
sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any
off-balance
sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any
non-financial
agreements involving assets.
At June 30, 2021, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. On June 29, 2020, we entered into an administrative support agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon the earlier of the completion of the Initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred expenses of $30,000 and $60,000, respectively, under this agreement.
The underwriters of the Public Offering are entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% ($15,000,000) was paid at the closing of the Public Offering and 3.5% ($26,250,000) was deferred. The deferred underwriting discount will be paid to the underwriters upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Policies/Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We apply the
two-class
method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value exceeds fair value.
As of June 30, 2021, we had outstanding warrants to purchase of up to 27,250,000 shares of Class A common stock. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share of common stock since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted net income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the periods.
Redeemable Shares of Class A Common Stock
All of the 75,000,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as parts of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC 480”), “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. The Company classifies all shares of Class A common stock as redeemable.
We account for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging”, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton model and the fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering have been measured based on the listed market price of such Public Warrants.
Membership interests issued by the Sponsor as profits interests represent compensation to certain individuals for services the Company receives from these individuals through closing of the Business Combination. Although the Company is not a direct party to the profits interests, it attributes compensation expense equal to the change in the fair value of these arrangements. There was no impact of compensation expense attribution for the three months or six months ended June 2021 or June 2020.
The Subscription Agreements involve only physical settlement in a fixed number, it qualifies for equity classification under Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging”, and, therefore, is not periodically remeasured to fair value.
The Backstop Agreement involves a conditional obligation that the Company must settle by issuing a variable number of its shares, where the monetary value is predominantly based on variations in something other than the fair value of the Company’s shares, it is initially and subsequently measured at fair value under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
