NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Shares at any time prior to the initial Business Combination. The obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement do not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Public Shareholders. The forward purchase securities will be issued only in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company. The Forward Purchase Agreement should be classified within shareholders’ equity (deficit), and the Forward Purchase Agreement is considered indexed to the Company’s own share under ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. As such, the Forward Purchase Agreement meets the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) to derivative accounting and; therefore, the Forward Purchase Agreement should
be
classified in shareholders’ equity (deficit).

As of March 11, 2021, there were 33,040,000 Class A ordinary shares outstanding, of which 32,000,000 Class A ordinary shares were subject to possible redemption that were classified as temporary equity in the accompanying balance sheet (see Note 7).

The share dividend and share surrender resulted in an aggregate of 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. Of the 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding, up to 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares were subject to forfeiture, to the Company by the Initial Shareholders for

NOTE 9. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY FILED BALANCE SHEET
In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A ordinary shares in permanent equity, or total shareholders’ equity. As a result, the Company restated its previously filed balance sheet to present all redeemable Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity and to recognize a remeasurement adjustment from the initial book value to redemption value at the time of its Initial Public Offering.
