Unregistered Sales
On December 16, 2020, our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain offering costs on our behalf in exchange for issuance of 7,187,500 Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). In February, 2021, our Sponsor transferred 25,000 founder shares to each of Darla Anderson, Francesca Luthi and Charles E. Wert, our director nominees, resulting in our sponsor holding 7,112,500 founder shares. On March 4, 2021, we effected a 1:1.2 stock split of our Class B common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares outstanding of which 8,550,000 are held by our Sponsor. The holders of the Founder Shares agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,125,000 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional units is not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On March 4, 2021, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales.

Use of Proceeds
In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we incurred offering costs of approximately $19.6 million (including deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $12.1 million). Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of preparation fees related to the Initial Public Offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination, if consummated) and the Initial Public Offering expenses, $345.0 million of the net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement Units (or $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants are held in the Trust Account and invested as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as is described in the Company’s final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering.
