we reclassed a portion of the offering costs associated with the IPO originally charged to shareholders’ equity, to an expense in the statement of operations in the amount of $475,053 based on a relative fair value basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the change in fair value of warrants was a decrease in the liability of approximately $550,667.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.
On March 12, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 33,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $330,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 5,733,333 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $8,600,000.
Following the IPO, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $330,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $17,212,069 in transaction costs, including $6,090,000 of underwriting fees, $10,657,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $464,569 of other costs.
For the period from November 24, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,342,275, which consisted of our net loss of $34,901, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,350, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $550,667, offering costs allocated to warrants of $475,053 and changes in current assets and current liabilities, which used $1,296,212 of cash.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $330,005,350. We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes, if any. Through March 31, 2021, we have not withdrawn any amounts to pay for our tax obligations. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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 March 31, 2021, we had cash outside the trust account of $724,970 available for working capital needs. All remaining cash held in the trust account are generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a business combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of March 31, 2021, none of the amount in the trust account was available to be withdrawn as described above.
Through March 31, 2021, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, and the remaining net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors 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 warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant unit at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
The Company anticipates that the $724,970 outside of the Trust Account as of March 31, 2021, will be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. Until consummation of our Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 6 to our financial statements) from the initial shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 6 to our financial statements), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
