Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 16, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. 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.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 16, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net income of $18,430,219, which consists of a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $21,291,339, transaction costs allocable to warrants of $2,092,043, and interest earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $4,425, offset by general and administrative expenses of $685,200 and a change in fair value of FPA of $88,302.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On January 26, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 41,400,000 Units, which includes a full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 5,400,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $414,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 10,280,000 Private Placement Warrant at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10,280,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $414,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $23,454,123 in Initial Public Offering related costs, consisting of $8,280,000 of underwriting fees, $14,490,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $684,123 of other offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $840,033. Net income of $18,430,219 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $4,425, a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $21,291,339, a change in fair value of FPA of $88,302, and transaction costs allocable to warrants of $2,092,043. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $154,833 of cash for operating activities.
