Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $847,941, which was due to the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $2,997,875, changes in working capital of $567,873, and interest and dividend income on the investments held in the trust account of $2,353, partially offset by a
non-cash
loss on the sale of warrants of $1,213,542, net income of $973,440, expensed offering costs added back to net income of $521,414, and the payment of formation costs by an affiliate of our sponsor in exchange for the issuance of Class B ordinary shares of $11,764.
For the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities of $282,500,000 was the result of the amount of net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the private placement sale of warrants being deposited to the trust account.
For the period from February 5, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $285,715,719, which was due to proceeds from the initial public offering, net of underwriter’s discount paid less reimbursement of $278,019,000, proceeds from sale of Private Placement Units of $8,650,000 and an advance from an anchor investor of $501,362, offset in part by the payment of offering costs of $775,795, the repayment of a portion of the advance from the anchor investor of $500,681, and the repayment of the promissory note—related party of $178,167.
On July 30, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Each unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share (the “Public Shares”), $0.0001 par value, and
one-third
of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and anchor investors purchased an aggregate of 800,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Private Placement Units”) ($8,000,000 in the aggregate). Each Private Placement Unit is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share (the “Private Placement Shares”) and
one-third
of one redeemable warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Units will expire worthless.
