RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 6 — RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Warrant Liability At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s warrant liability was valued at $14,410,400 and $21,370,200, respectively. Under the guidance in ASC 815-40 the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment. As such, the warrants must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each re-measurement, the warrant valuation will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

At December 31, 2020 and at March 31, 2021, the Private Placement Warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo Model. The Private Placement Warrants are considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of unobservable inputs. The Monte Carlo Model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of December 31, 2020 and as of March 31, 2021 was derived from the historical volatility of similar SPACs at a similar stage in their life cycle. A Monte Carlo Simulation Method was used in estimating the fair value of the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available, using the same expected volatility as was used in measuring the fair value of the Private Warrants. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the warrants from the Units, including December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the closing price of the public warrants was used as the fair value as of each relevant date. Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels during the three-month period ending March 31, 2021. The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation for the Public and Private Placement Warrants were as follows: Input December 31, 2020 March 31, 2021 Stock price $ 10.05 $ 9.69 Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 11.50 Risk free rate 0.93 % 1.04 % Trading days per year 252 252 Annual volatility 15.0 % 13.25 % Time to exercise (years) 5.50 5.25 The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in fair value balance for warrants classified as Level 3 from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021: Warrant Liabilities Fair value as of December 31,2020 $ 7,620,200 Transfers to/(from) Level 3 - Revaluation of warrant liability included in other income within the statement of income for the period from December 31, 2020 through March 31, 2020 (2,459,000 ) Fair value as of March 31, 2021 $ 5,160,400 The Company’s use of models required the use of subjective assumptions: • The expected term was determined to be 5.75 years assuming the Company takes nine months after the valuation date to complete a business combination. An increase in the expected term, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities and vice versa. • The expected volatility assumption was based on the implied volatility from a set of comparable publicly-traded warrants as determined based on the size and proximity of other similar SPACs at a similar stage in their life cycle. An increase in the expected volatility, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities and vice versa. |
