Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 include, but are not limited to, those described in our otherSecurities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings.
Overview
We were incorporated as a
OnNovember 8, 2021 , the Company consummated its initial public offering (the "IPO") of 23,000,000 units (including the underwriters' full exercise of their over-allotment option) at$10.00 per unit (each, a "Unit"). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of$11.50 per share.
The Company will have 15 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months
from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the period of time to
consummate the Business Combination) (the "Completion Window") to consummate the
initial Business Combination by depositing
Pursuant to the terms of the Company's second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Trust Agreement entered into between the Company andContinental Stock Transfer & Trust Company , in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination by an additional three months, the Company's Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must provide advance notice at least five days prior to the date which is 15 months from the closing of our initial public offering and must deposit into the trust account$2,300,000 ($0.10 per share), on or prior to the date which is 15 months from the closing of our initial public offering. Any such payments would be made in the form of a non-interest bearing loan (an "Extension Loan"). If the Company completes its initial business combination, it will, at the option of the Company's initial shareholders or their affiliates or designees, repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company or convert a portion or all of the total loan amount into warrants at a price of$1.00 per warrant (the "Extension Loan Warrants"). If the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination, it will repay such loans only from funds held outside of the Trust Account. The Company's initial shareholders or their affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete its initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to consummate its initial Business Combination within the applicable time period, it will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company's obligations underCayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. 17

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities sinceApril 20, 2021 (inception) have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments held in our trust account. Our expenses have increased substantially after the closing of our initial public offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to$1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of$1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. On
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as assets or liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative instruments are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. 19

Recent Accounting Standards
InAugust 2020 , theFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effectiveJanuary 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning onJanuary 1, 2021 . The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.

JOBS Act
OnApril 5, 2012 , the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected 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. As an "emerging growth company," we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by thePublic Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose comparisons of the chief executive officer's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five (5) years following the completion of our IPO or until we otherwise no longer qualify as an "emerging growth company."
