of warrant liabilities of $2,979,000, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $256,961 and transaction cost allocated to warrant liabilities of $675,351.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 1, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 24,150,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,150,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (each, a “Share”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). The Units were sold at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $241,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 675,000 Units (each, a “Private Placement Unit”), comprised of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each a “Private Placement Warrant”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,750,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $241,500,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $14,681,445 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $5,250,000 of underwriting fees, $9,082,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $348,945 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $475,301. Net income of $2,096,751 was affected by change in fair value of warrants of $2,979,000, transaction costs allocated to warrant liabilities of $675,351, interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $49,114, and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $949. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $218,340 of cash for operating activities.
As of June 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $241,550,063 consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $728,829. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. Through the date of this filing, we have not made any borrowings under this arrangement.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2021. 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 purchased any non-financial assets.
