Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our

general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. In
addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any share dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, our ability
to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.
Use of Proceeds from our Initial Public Offering
On February 12, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 31,625,000 units, including the issuance of 4,125,000 units as a result of the exercise in full
of the underwriters over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $316,250,000. Cowen and Company LLC served as book-running manager. The securities sold in the offering were registered
under the Securities Act on our registration statement on Form S-1 (Nos. 333-251978). The registration statement became effective on February 9, 2021.
Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the private placements of Private Units, $316,250,000 was placed in the Companys
trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
We paid a total of $6,325,000 in underwriting discounts and

Table of Contents
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information contained in the discussion and
analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the
laws of the State of Delaware on August 20, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to
effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business
Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through December 31, 2020 were
organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal,
financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the period from August 20, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $2,286, which consisted of formation and operating
expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2020, we had cash of $179,512. Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of common stock by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsors.
On February 12, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 31,625,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which included the full exercise by
the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 4,125,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $316,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 832,500 Private Placement Units
to the Sponsors at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds of $8,325,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full
exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $316,250,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $6,827,967 in transaction costs, including $6,325,000 of underwriting fees, and $502,967 of
other offering costs.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on
the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the
Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Table of Contents
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target
businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material
agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies
or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 a Business
Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a 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 units upon consummation of the Business Combination, at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the
lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the
expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a 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 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 our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance
with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we
will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of
December 31, 2020. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of
facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed
any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the
Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees on February 9, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business
Combination and our liquidation.
The Company intends to engage the underwriters to act as advisors in connection with its Business Combination to assist
the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target businesss attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Companys
securities in connection with the potential Business Combination, assist in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination and assist with the Companys press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination.
The Company will pay the underwriters a fee for such services upon the consummation of its Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, including any proceeds from the full
or partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

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 not identified any critical accounting policies.
Recent Accounting
Standards
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 financial statements.
