We were incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 21, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We have not selected any specific Business Combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any Business Combination target with respect to an initial Business Combination.
As indicated in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, as of June 30, 2021, we had $763,262 cash and deferred offering underwriter’s discount of $8,050,000.
On May 6, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 Public Units, at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, in a Private Placement to Valor Latitude LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Phoenix SPAC Holdco LLC (“Phoenix”), generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000.
On May 11, 2021, the underwriters purchased 3,000,000 units generating net proceeds to the Company of approximately $29,400,000 in the aggregate after deducting the underwriter discount.
Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Units on May 11, 2021, we consummated the private placement with the Sponsor and Phoenix of an aggregate of 400,000 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares for $1.50 per warrant generating total proceeds of $600,000.
Of the net proceeds from the IPO, exercise of the over-allotment option, and associated private placements, $230,000,000 of cash was placed in the Trust Account.
We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful.
Our entire activity since inception up to June 30, 2021 relates to our formation, the Initial Public Offering and, since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, a search for a Business Combination candidate. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest.
For the three months period ended June 30, 2021, we had net income of $4,201,691, which consisted of $523,547 in formation and operating costs and $548,600 of expenses related to the IPO, offset by $3,011 in interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and a gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $5,270,827.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2021, we had $763,262 of cash available for working capital needs. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account 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.
