On February 10, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain of our offering and formation costs in consideration for 6,468,750 Class B Ordinary Shares. On June 30, 2021, our Sponsor surrendered 2,156,250 Class B Ordinary Shares for no consideration, resulting in 4,312,500 shares outstanding of which 562,500 were subject to forfeiture in the event the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised. On October 20, 2021, we approved a 1.16666667 for 1 share dividend for each Class B Ordinary Share outstanding, resulting in 5,031,250 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding. All share and per share amounts have been restated. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 656,250 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would collectively own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any public shares in the Initial Public Offering). As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, on December 5, 2021, 31,250 Class B Ordinary Shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 5,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. The Founder Shares (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder.
On July 11, 2021, our Sponsor transferred 40,000 Founder Shares to each of our independent directors, other than Michael Zeisser, at their original purchase price. On October 20, 2021, each of the shareholding independent directors transferred 6,666.6668 Founder Shares, the amount each received in the October 20, 2021 share dividend, to our Sponsor.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 10,500,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $10,500,000. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination.
If any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a Business Combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such Business Combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such Business Combination opportunity to us. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.
Since October 2021, we have paid our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team and other expenses and obligations of our Sponsor. Upon completion of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.
No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by us to our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial Business Combination. However, our Sponsor may transfer certain of its Class B Ordinary Shares to our Directors or advisors, or their affiliates, in conjunction with our initial Business Combination in the event such parties bring specific target company, industry or market expertise, as well as insights or relationships that we believe are necessary in order to locate, assess, negotiate and consummate an initial Business Combination. In addition, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
