NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Angel Pond Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 18, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effectuating a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

Our only activities from inception to March 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Public Offering”) and identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on May 12, 2021. On May 20, 2021 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and on July 2, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of 7,000,000 and 310,297 private placement warrants, respectively (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1 per warrant in a private placement to Angel Pond Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,000,000 and $310,297, respectively, which are described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 20, 2021, an amount of $250,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the Meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 188 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions

of Rule 2a-7 of

the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters were granted an option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On June 30, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and on July 2, 2021, the underwriters purchased 1,551,482 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,514,820. On July 2, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company completed a private placement with the Sponsor for an additional 310,297 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $310,297. Approximately $15,514,820 of the net proceeds from the Over-Allotment Units and Additional Private Placement Warrants have been deposited in the Trust Account.

Transaction costs amounted to $15,137,827 consisting of $5,310,293 of underwriting fees, $9,293,019 of deferred underwriting fees (see Note 6) and $534,515 of other costs. $514,236 of the total underwriting costs were expenses in connection with the warrant liability and the balance was charged to equity. In addition, at the closing of the initial public offering, $753,772 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. NYSE rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement to enter a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units, will be held in a trust account and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the

conditions of Rule 2a-7 of

the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.

Table of Contents

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Share”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

If the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax

obligations). The per-share amount to

be distributed to shareholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting Commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. These shares of Class A Ordinary Shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed (a) to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), the ordinary shares included in the Private Units (the “Private Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to

the Company’s pre-Business Combination

activities prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) not to redeem any shares (including the Founder Shares) and Private Placement Units (including underlying securities) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to shareholders’

rights of pre-Business Combination activity

and (d) that the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units (including underlying securities) shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.

The Company will have until May 20, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public

Shares, at a per-share price, payable

in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less up to

100,000

of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00). There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined below) or the Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the

24-month

time period.

Table of Contents

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the day of liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure its shareholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statement. The Company has since completed its Initial Public Offering at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes. Accordingly, management has since reevaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and determined that sufficient capital exists to sustain operations through July 1, 2022 and therefore substantial doubt has been alleviated.

Management is currently evaluating the impact

of the COVID-19 pandemic

and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Table of Contents

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply

to non-emerging growth

companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management 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 statements, 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $244,745 and 487,993 in cash and no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be

more-likely-than-not to

be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands.

Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2021, shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to our initial public offering. Offering costs amounting to $15,137,827

consists

of $5,310,293 of underwriting fees, $9,293,019 of deferred underwriting fees and $534,515 of other costs. $514,236 of the total underwriting costs were expenses in connection with the warrant liability and the balance was charged to equity.

Cash Held in Trust Account

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were invested in a money market fund.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Basic income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income applicable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Consistent with FASB 480, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, as well as their pro rata share of undistributed trust earnings consistent with

the two-class method,

have been excluded from the calculation of income per ordinary share for the period from January 18, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021. Such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings. Diluted income per share includes the incremental number of ordinary shares to be issued to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury method. For the period from January 18, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares. As a result, diluted income per ordinary share is the same as basic income per ordinary share for all periods presented.

A reconciliation of net income per ordinary share as adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption for three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the period from January 18, 2021 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2021 is as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Forfeiture of Shares

On May 18, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Class B shares. The par value of the ordinary and preferred shares were not adjusted as a result of the surrender. All references to ordinary shares, warrants to purchase ordinary shares, share date, per share data and related information contained in the balance sheet have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this share surrender for all periods presented. On July 2, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,551,482 Units. In connection with the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the expiration of the over-allotment option on July 2, 2021, 549,630 Class B Ordinary Shares were forfeited for no consideration.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Going Concern Consideration

The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. 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,” management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Subsequent Events

Management of the Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2022 through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, management did not identify any recognized

or non-recognized subsequent events

that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 25,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, $0.0001 par value, and one third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 8).

Table of Contents

NOTE 4

. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering and the subsequent closing of Over-Allotment Units, the Sponsor purchased 7,000,000 and 310,297 Private Placement Warrants, respectively, at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $7,310,297.

Each Private Placement Warrant is identical to the units offered in the Initial Public Offering, except there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to private placement shares or private placement warrants, which will expire worthless if we do not consummate a business combination within the Combination Period.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On January 18, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,625,000 of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On May 18, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Class B shares, resulting in an aggregate of 7,187,500 Founder Shares issued and outstanding. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 937,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will collectively own, on

an as-converted basis, 20%

of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). On July 2, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and 549,630 Class B Ordinary Shares were subsequently forfeited for no consideration.

The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a business combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or similar transaction that results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of ordinary shares for cash, securities, or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days

within any 30-trading day period

commencing at least 150 days after the business combination, the Founder Shares will be released

from the lock-up.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On January 20, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The

Note is non-interest bearing and

is payable on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. On May 20, 2021, the $300,000 outstanding under the Note was repaid in full.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a business combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. No amounts were borrowed under the facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on May 20, 2021, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Proposed Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. The Company had incurred and paid $30,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the Period from January 18, 2021 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2021

, respectively.

Morgan Securities LLC and Angel Pond Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, as joint placement agents for proposed private placements in connection with the Proposed Business Combination (as defined in Note 10). The Company and MariaDB agreed to pay $2 million placement agent fees contingent upon the closing of the Proposed Business Combination. The Company had not incurred nor paid any such fees as of March 31, 2022. The agreement associated with this engagement expired on January 31, 2022.

On March 17, 2022, the Company engaged Angel Pond Capital LLC as placement agent for proposed private placements in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. The Company has agreed to pay certain placement agent fees in connection with the engagement.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority 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 consummation of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriter’s Agreement

The Company granted the

underwriters a 45-day option to

purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 2, 2021, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in part and purchased 1,551,482 Over-Allotment Units, generating gross proceeds of $15,514,820 (see Note 2).

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,000,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of three and half percent (3.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $8,750,000. The deferred fee was placed in the Trust Account and will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

In connection with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds, or $310,297. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of three and a half percent (3.5%) of the gross proceeds, or $543,020. The deferred fee was placed in the Trust Account and will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7. WARRANT LIABILITY

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the consummation of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

Table of Contents

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A Ordinary Shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants for redemption:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder and

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within

a 30-trading

day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.10 per Public Warrant;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table in “Warrants—Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00” based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A Ordinary Shares;

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

•

provided that the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants if the reported last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within

a 30-trading

day period commencing no earlier than the date the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third business day before the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

Table of Contents

The exercise price and number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A Ordinary Shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of such initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants will and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will

be non-redeemable so

long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees (except when the price per Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00). If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 8,850,494 whole Public Warrants and 7,310,297 Private Placement Warrants outstanding, respectively, with a fair value of $10,989,338 and $12,516,912, respectively.

The Company accounts for the 8,850,494 Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the 7,310,297 Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained

in ASC 815-40. Such guidance

provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. The warrant agreement contains an Alternative Issuance provision that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination is payable in the form of common equity in the successor entity, and if the holders of the warrants properly exercises the warrants within thirty days following the public disclosure of the consummation of Business Combination by the Company, the warrant price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference (but in no event less than zero) of (i) the warrant price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets. “Per Share Consideration” means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the ordinary shares consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per ordinary share, and (ii) in all other cases, the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares as reported

during the ten-trading day period

ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

The Company believes that the adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants is based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of

a “fixed-for-fixed” option

as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 – 40, and thus the warrants are not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record a derivative liability upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Accordingly, the Company classifies each warrant as a liability at its fair value and the warrants will be allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined by the Monte Carlo simulation. This liability is subject

to re-measurement at

each balance sheet date. With each such remeasurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Preferred Shares

— The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred shares. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Class

A Ordinary Shares

— The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A, $0.0001 par value ordinary shares. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 0 Class A Ordinary Shares issued or outstanding, (excluding 26,551,482 Class A shares subject to possible redemption).

Class

B Ordinary Shares

—

The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Class B, $0.0001 par value ordinary shares. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 6,637,870 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as required by law; provided that only holders of Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to vote for the election of directors prior to the Company’s initial Business Combination.

The Class B Ordinary Shares will automatically convert Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the Business Combination on

one-for-one

basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or equity linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary Shares shall convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A Ordinary Shares and equity linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, and any private placement-equivalent units and its underlying securities issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company). Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their Class B Ordinary Shares into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

The Company may issue additional ordinary shares or preferred shares to complete its Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of its Business Combination.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities

that are re-measured and reported

at fair value at each reporting

period, and non-financial assets and

liabilities

that are re-measured and reported

at fair value at least annually.

Table of Contents

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

•

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.


	Level		March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Assets:
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account		1	$	265,527,940	$	265,524,231
Liabilities:
Public Warrants		1	$	6,018,336	$	6,814,880
Private Placement Warrants		2	$	4,971,002	$	5,702,032

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with

ASC 815-40 and

are presented within warrant liabilities on the Balance Sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Statement of Operations.

Initial Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the Warrants on May 20, 2021, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one ordinary

share and one-third of one

Public Warrant), (ii) the sale of Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) the issuance of ordinary shares, first to the Warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, and ordinary shares based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were as follows at initial measurement:


Input	May 20, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		1.17	%
Expected term (years)		6.5
Expected Volatility		14.3	%
Exercise Price	$	11.50
Stock price	$	9.67

On May 20, 2021, the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were determined to be $1.03 and $1.00 per warrant for aggregate values of $7,210,000 and $8,333,333, respectively.

Table of Contents

Subsequent Measurement

The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker POND. As the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone outside of a small group of individuals who are permitted transferees would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant is equivalent to that of each Public Warrant, with an insignificant adjustment for short-term marketability restrictions. As such, the Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate values of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants were approximately $11.0 and $12.5 million, based on the closing price of POND on those dates of $9.87 and $9.67, respectively.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities:


	Private Placement			Public			Warrant Liabilities
Fair value as of January 18, 2021	$	—		$	—		$	—
Initial Measurement on May 20, 2021		7,210,000			8,333,333			15,543,333

(2)

Due to the use of quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) and the use of observable inputs for similar assets or liabilities (Level 2) to measure the fair values of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, respectively, subsequent to initial measurement, the Company had transfers out of Level 3 totaling approximately $15,543,333 during the period from May 20, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

NOTE 10. PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION

On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between the Company, Mangomill plc, a public limited company incorporated in Ireland (“Irish Holdco”), Meridian MergerSub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Irish Holdco (“Merger Sub”), and MariaDB Corporation Ab, a Finnish private limited liability company (“MariaDB”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Domestication Merger”) and (ii) MariaDB will merge with and into Irish Holdco with Irish Holdco continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, the Company will be liquidated (the “Liquidation,” and together with the Merger, the Domestication Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Proposed Business Combination”). In connection with the Proposed Business Combination, Irish Holdco will change its name to “MariaDB plc”.

As a result of the Domestication Merger, each issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share and Class B ordinary share of the Company will convert into the right to receive one ordinary share of Irish Holdco (“Irish Holdco Ordinary Shares”), and each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company will be exercisable by its terms to purchase an equal number of Irish Holdco Ordinary Shares.

Table of Contents

The aggregate share consideration to be distributed to holders of MariaDB securities at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) is 62,256,428 Irish Holdco Ordinary Shares. At the Effective Time, and without any action on the part of any party or holder of any of its securities:

•

each MariaDB ordinary share (“MariaDB Ordinary Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of Irish Holdco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and

•

each equity award that is issued and outstanding under MariaDB’s equity incentive plans (each, a “Company Equity Award”) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into an equity award to be settled in Irish Holdco Ordinary Shares on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Equity Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, equal to the product of the number of MariaDB Ordinary Shares subject to such Company Equity Award and the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Equity Award divided by the Exchange Ratio.

The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the APHC Available Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall not be less than $100,000,000, (ii) approval of the Proposed Business Combination by the respective shareholders of the Company and MariaDB, (iii) the consummation of a private placement pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) for an aggregate purchase price of $18,200,000 (the “PIPE Investment”), (iii) the sum of cash in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the APHC Share Redemptions (as defined in the Merger Agreement) but without giving effect to the payment of transaction expenses) and any Additional PIPE Investment Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be at least $15,000,000, (iv) effectiveness of the registration statement on

Form S-4 to

be filed by Irish Holdco in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, (v) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, (v) receipt of conditional approval for listing on the NYSE the Irish Holdco Ordinary Shares, and (vi) the absence of any applicable law or order restraining, prohibiting or imposing any condition on the consummation of the closing of the Proposed Business Combination (the “Closing”).

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into the following agreements:

•

Subscription Agreements with certain PIPE investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate number of Irish Holdco Ordinary Shares for $9.50 per share in the PIPE Investment, for an aggregate purchase price equal to $18,200,000.

•

Shareholder Support Agreements with certain shareholders of MariaDB, pursuant to which, among other things, such MariaDB shareholders agreed to, among other things, support and vote all of their MariaDB shares in favor of the Proposed Business Combination.

In connection with the Proposed Business Combination, the Company will also enter into the following agreements:

•

Lock-Up Agreements

with certain shareholders of MariaDB and certain of our shareholders, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, such holders will agree that they will not sell or otherwise transfer the Irish Holdco Ordinary Shares received pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for a period of 180 days after the Closing.

The Lock-Up Agreement

as it relates to the Sponsor, will supersede the obligations of the Sponsor under the Letter Agreement entered into by the sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in May 2021.

•

Registration Rights Agreements with certain equity holders of MariaDB and certain of our shareholders, pursuant to which, among other things, Irish Holdco will be required to file, within 30 days after the Closing, a registration statement to register the resale of certain securities of Irish Holdco held by such MariaDB and Company shareholders, who will also have customary demand and “piggyback” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

The Merger Agreement and related agreements are further described in the Current Report on

Form 8-K filed

by the Company on February 1, 2022.

When used in this

Form 10-Q,

words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or the Company’s management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward- looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

Overview

The Company is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company intends to effectuate its initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial Business Combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business combination:

•

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater

than one-to-one

basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;

•

may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our ordinary shares;

•

could cause a change of control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

•

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

•

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants.

Similarly, if the Company issues debt securities, it could result in:

•

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

Table of Contents

•

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

•

the Company’s immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

•

the Company’s inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

•

the Company’s inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;

•

using a substantial portion of the Company’s cash flow to pay principal and interest on the Company’s debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on the Company’s ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

•

limitations on the Company’s flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the Company’s business and in the industry in which the Company operates;

•

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

•

limitations on the Company’s ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of the Company’s strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to the Company’s competitors who have less debt.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a net income of $1,221,275, which consists of formation costs and operating costs of $310,008, interest income of $3,709 on monies held in our Trust Account (as defined below), and income related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $1,527,574. For the period from January 18, 2021 (date of inception) through March 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $8,827, which consists of formation costs and operating costs incurred during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On May 20, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering in which we sold 25,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000 before underwriting fees and expenses. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,000,000. On June 30, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and on July 2, 2021, the underwriters purchased 1,551,482 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,514,820. Simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company completed a private placement with the Sponsor for an additional 310,297 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $310,297.

Transaction costs of the Initial Public Offering amounted to $15,137,827 consisting of underwriting fees of $5,310,293 and deferred underwriting fees of $9,293,019 and $534,515 of other costs. $514,236 of the total underwriting costs were expensed in connection with the warrant liability and the balance was charged to equity. On July 2, 2021, 549,630 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited for no consideration as a result of a partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

As of March 31, 2022, we have available to us $244,745 of cash on our balance sheet and working capital deficit of $81,679. We will use these funds primarily to and evaluate target businesses, perform business, legal, and accounting 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. The interest income earn on the investments in the Trust Account are unavailable to fund operating expenses.

Table of Contents

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the Business Combination, the Company would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor. The terms of such loans by the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or its directors or officers or their respective affiliates as it does 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 the trust account.

Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability

to Continue as a Going Concern

,” management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet

Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be

considered off-balance sheet

arrangements. 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 entered into

any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

At March 31, 2022, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of 2% of gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,000,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to aggregate deferred underwriting commissions of $8,750,000 consisting of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. With the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of 2% of gross proceeds, or $310,297, and are entitled to an additional deferred underwriting commission of $543,019. The deferred fee was placed in the Trust Account and will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement by and between the Company, Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

the two-class

method, have been excluded from the calculation of income per ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the period from January 18, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021. Such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings. Diluted income per share includes the incremental number of ordinary shares to be issued to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury method. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the period from January 18, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares. As a result, diluted income per ordinary share is the same as basic income per ordinary share for all periods presented.

A reconciliation of net income per ordinary share as adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption is as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

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 Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as 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. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on

whether net-cash settlement

or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Table of Contents

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2022, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Through March 31, 2022, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our Public Offering and since the Public Offering, the search for a target business with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on January 18, 2021. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under

Rule 2a-7 under

the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules

13a-15

and

15d-15

under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021, due to the restatement of our May 20, 2021 balance sheet and the financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021 (the “restatements”) related to the classification of redeemable Class A Shares, which, constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Regarding the restatement of the Company’s balance sheet included on our Form

8-K,

as filed with the SEC on May 26, 2021 and our Form

10-Q

filed on August 6, 2021, certain redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. We had previously classified a portion of the Class A common stock in permanent equity. We restated our financial statements to classify all Class A common stock as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity. We have determined that the misstatement of the balance sheet as of May 20, 2021, and the financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021 was material based on quantitative criteria.

Table of Contents

It is noted that the

non-cash

adjustments to the financial statements do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents or total assets. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our audited annual financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form

10-K

present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the implementation of the remediation activities regarding the restatement of our May 20, 2021 balance sheet and the restatement of our financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021, during the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules

13a-15(f)

and

15d-15(f)

under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management has enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our updated processes include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on

Form 10-Q,

there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus dated February 4, 2021 filed with the SEC, except we may disclose charges to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. The recent inauguration of a new administration in the U.S. could result in significant changes to regulatory policy and the promulgation of new laws and regulations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations. It is possible that we will become subject to different or heightened rules or requirements promulgated by the SEC or other regulators, and we may become subject to heightened or increased scrutiny by the SEC.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed rules relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; enhancing disclosure with regards to the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; expanding the scope of potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, may increase the costs and time related thereto.

Table of Contents

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants.

As a result, included on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 contained elsewhere in this report are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a

resulting non-cash gain

or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statements of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly based on factors which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will

recognize non-cash gains

or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On May 20, 2021, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,000,000. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the completion of our Initial Public Offering. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On July 2, 2021, 549,630 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited for no consideration as a result of a partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

Use of Proceeds from the Public Offering

On May 20, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share,

and one-third of

one redeemable Warrant of the Company, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000,000.

The securities sold in the Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on
