commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, if consummated) and the IPO expenses, $271.3 million of the net proceeds from our IPO, the over-allotment and certain of the proceeds from the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants (or $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO) were placed in the Trust Account. See Note 1 to the audited financial statements for additional detail.
We have agreed to pay the underwriters up to an additional $9.5 million on account of certain deferred underwriting fees in connection with the initial Business Combination; provided, however, that the underwriters will not be paid such additional fees if we do not complete the initial Business Combination.
There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the IPO and Private Placement as is described in our final prospectus related to the IPO. We issued a press release announcing that we would redeem all of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares that were included in the Units issued in our initial public offering, effective as of the close of business on March 23, 2023, as we would not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Class A ordinary shares, Public Warrants and Units ceased trading on Nasdaq as of market close on March 23, 2023. The following day, on March 24, 2023, the Company redeemed all 27,128,532 of its Class A ordinary shares totaling $277,532,655 (at approximately $10.23 per Class A ordinary share.)

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 15, 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, or a Business Combination. Our sponsor is Goggo Network Gmbh, a German company limited by shares, or our Sponsor.
The registration statement for our initial public offering, or IPO, was declared effective on March 18, 2021. On March 23, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 25,000,000 Units (as defined below), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250.0 million. The Company granted the Underwriters in the IPO, or the Underwriters, a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 31, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 2,128,532 Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of approximately $21.3 million. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one-third of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share, or a Public Warrant, at a price of $11.50 per whole share, or the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, or the Public Shares. We incurred transaction costs for the IPO and over-allotment of approximately $15.6 million, inclusive of approximately $9.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the private placement of 4,666,667 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, or the Private Placement Warrants, and together with the Public Warrants, the Warrants, to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7.0 million, or the IPO Private Placement. Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the overallotment option, we completed the sale of an aggregate of an additional 283,804 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $0.4 million, or the Over-Allotment Private Placement and together with the IPO Private Placement, the Private Placements.
