Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on July 6, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report as our “initial business combination”. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement of the private placement warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the initial public offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operational revenues to date. Our only activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from July 6, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and, after our initial public offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held after the initial public offering. In addition, the Company will recognize non-operating income or loss on the change in fair of warrant liabilities. 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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $2,995,085, which resulted from by the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,241,000 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the amount of $43,200, which was partially offset by operating and formation costs of $262,487, and franchise tax expense of $26,628.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $12,290,535, which resulted from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $17,611,084, and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the amount of $48,981, which was partially offset by an excess of private placement warrant fair value over purchase price of $3,507,000, warrant issuance costs of $966,646 associated with the Initial Public Offering, operating and formation costs of $780,815, and franchise tax expense of $115,069.
For the period from July 6, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had net income of $0.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, the Company had $294,918, $1,594, and $250 in cash held outside of the Trust Account, respectively, and a working capital balance of $605,249, and working capital deficits of $120,906, and $117,250 respectively.
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, and a loan of up to $300,000 under an unsecured and non-interest
bearing promissory note. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity will be satisfied through the net proceeds from the private placement held outside of the Trust Account.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). As of September 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $1,206,215, which was due to the change in fair value of warrants of $17,611,084, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $310,331, and net gain on investments in the Trust Account of $48,981, partially offset by our net income of $12,290,535, excess of private placement warrants fair value over purchase price in the amount of $3,507,000 and expensed offering costs of $966,646.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $317,500,000, which was due to the amount of net proceeds from the initial public offering being deposited to the Trust Account.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $318,999,539, which was comprised of $311,150,000 in proceeds from the issuance of units in the initial public offering net of underwriter’s discount paid, $8,350,000 in proceeds from the issuance of warrants in a private placement to our Sponsor, and proceeds from issuance of Sponsor Note of $41,500, offset in part by payment of $377,961 for offering costs associated with the initial public offering and repayment of the outstanding balance on the promissory note to our Sponsor of $164,000.
For the period from July 6, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $250, which was comprised of $117,500 in proceeds from issuance of Sponsor Note, and $25,000 in proceeds from sale of Class B common stock to Sponsor, which was offset by payment of offering costs in the amount of $142,250.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. We may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.

Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, or September 30, 2020.
Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day
option to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On March 5, 2021 the underwriters purchased an additional 1,750,000 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $17,500,000 to the Company.
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of $0.20 per Unit, or $6,350,000 in the aggregate. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or $11,112,500 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liabilities
We account for the Private Placement Warrants and the redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) that were included in units issued by the Company in its Initial Public Offering (collectively, the “Warrants”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(“ASC 815”), under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement
, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change.
Common stock subject to possible redemption
All of the 31,750,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares of Class A common stock in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with our business combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of

incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99,
redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A common stock has been classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period (for all periods during which these shares were subject to forfeiture, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding excludes an aggregate of 1,125,000 shares held by the Sponsor that were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment was not exercised in full). The Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 13,504,166 shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the Warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive. The calculation does not include the accretion of Class A common stock to possible redemption amount because redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial 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 effective for the Company on January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06
would have on our 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.
