This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations
and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that
may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to
be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some
cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may,"
"should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "continue," or the negative of such terms or other similar
expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy

Subsequent to the consummation of our initial public offering and private
placement, our liquidity needs have been satisfied with the net proceeds from
the initial public offering and associated private placements,

Combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor or our officers and
directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. As of
The Company is 13 months from its mandatory liquidation as of the time of filing
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In connection with the Company's assessment of
going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update
("ASU") 2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to
Continue as a Going Concern," the mandatory liquidation raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of
the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required
to liquidate,
The financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statement in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement.
Making estimates requires us to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering
We comply with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs
consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred
through the IPO that were directly related to the IPO. We incurred offering
costs amounting to
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A ordinary share subject to possible redemption in
accordance with the guidance in the
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
We have two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary share and Class B ordinary share. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 19,300,000 of our Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share have been excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Our statement of operations applies the two-class method in calculating net income per share. Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share for Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing net income attributable to us by the weighted average number of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares outstanding, allocated proportionally to each class of shares as set out in the Statement of Operations.

companies for fiscal years beginning after
We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statement.
JOBS Act
The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the independent registered public accounting firm's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
