method for all convertible instruments. ASU

is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the pronouncement will have on the financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the date of the balance sheet through the date that the financial statements were issued. All such events that would require adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements have been recognized or disclosed.
On October 25, 2021, the Company closed on the Public Offering and sale, including the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, of 20,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value, and
one-half
of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant offered in the Public Offering is exercisable to purchase 1 share of our Class A ordinary shares, See Note 6.
The Company granted the underwriters a
45-day
option to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover any over-allotments, at the Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. At the closing of the Public Offering on October 25, 2021, the underwriters’ exercised 2,500,000 Units of such over-allotment option. The warrants that were issued in connection with 2,500,000 over-allotment units exercised are identical to the Public Warrants and have no net cash settlement provisions. As discussed further in Note 4, after the closing of the Public Offering on October 25, 2021, 31,250 of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares remained forfeitable and in December 2021 those 31,250 shares were surrendered and retired.
The Company paid an underwriting discount of 2.0% of the per Unit price, $4,000,000, to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering and is obligated to pay a deferred underwriting fee of 3.5% of the per Unit price, $7,000,000, upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
