NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organization and General

DP Cap Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 8, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 8, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the Public Offering on November 12, 2021 (“Public Offering” or “IPO”) and subsequent to the Public Offering, the search for a target for the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

On November 12, 2021, the Company consummated its Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the exercise in full of the underwriter’s option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at the Public Offering price to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and, with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units sold in the Public Offering, the “Public Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 4,733,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (the “Private Placement”), to DP Investment Management Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”) generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,100,000, which is described in Note 4. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Sponsor’s promissory note (the “Sponsor Note”), the Sponsor loaned $4,600,000 to the Company (the “Sponsor Loan”) at no interest. The proceeds of the Sponsor Note were deposited into the Trust Account (described below) and will be repaid or converted into warrants (the “Sponsor Loan Warrants”) at a conversion price of $1.50 per Sponsor Loan Warrant, at the Sponsor’s discretion and at any time until the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. The Sponsor Loan Warrants are identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Transaction costs amounted to $13,148,152, including $8,050,000 in deferred underwriting fees, $4,600,000 in paid underwriting fees and $498,152 in other offering costs, which were recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A and 5T. Upon completion of the Public Offering, cash of $2,030,974 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) for the payment of offering costs and for working capital purposes. Offering costs were allocated between the Class A Ordinary Shares, Public Warrants and Private warrants using the relative fair value method.

A total of $234,600,000 ($10.20 per unit), comprised of $225,400,000 from the net proceeds of the IPO, $4,600,000 from the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and $4,600,000 from the proceeds of  the Sponsor Loan, was placed in a U.S.-based Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes and winding up and dissolution expenses, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until (i) the completion of the Company’s Business Combination, or (ii) the redemption of any of the Company’s Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to (A) modify the substance or timing of its obligation to provide holders of its Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Company’s Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if it does not complete its Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if it is unable to complete its Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in the Trust Account and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company only intends to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and 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 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Upon the closing of the Public Offering, management has agreed that an amount equal to at least $10.20 per Unit sold in the Public Offering, will be held in a Trust Account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in United States ‘‘government securities’’ within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company is required to provide the holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Public Shares 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 shareholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially $10.20 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” If the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “A&R M&As”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5) (“the initial shareholders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Public Offering in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

The A&R M&As provide 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 redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company. The initial shareholders have agreed not to propose an amendment to the A&R M&As (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), which is May 12, 2023, and the Company’s shareholders have not amended the A&R M&As to extend such 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 subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the 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 board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders acquired Public Shares in or acquire Public Shares after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) 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 other 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 residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.20. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.20 per Public Share or (ii) the lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. 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 (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), 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.

Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company may need to raise additional funds from its Sponsor and/or third parties  in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. If the Company’s estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating the initial Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to a Business Combination. The Sponsor is not under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If a Business Combination is not consummated by May 12, 2023, and the Company’s shareholders have not amended the A&R M&As to extend such Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of these condensed financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

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 of 2002, 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 an emerging growth 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 an 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 condensed financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022. The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 2022 or for any future periods.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy 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 these condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action in the Ukraine. As a result of this military action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The specific impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. 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 condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimates, could change in the near term. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Investments Held in Trust Account

The Company’s investments consist of a portfolio of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, each with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities and are recognized at fair value. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in earnings on investments held in the Trust Account in the condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
 
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

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.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

The Company follows the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering or the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 16,233,333 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The Sponsor Loan Warrants to be granted upon conversion of the Sponsor Loan, if any, would also be anti-dilutive and would therefore also be excluded from the calculation.

The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of income per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted, for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income on earnings, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption outstanding over the period. Net loss is allocated evenly on a pro rata basis between Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares based on weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding over the period.

A reconciliation of net income (loss) per ordinary share is as follows:

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company had no net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

ASC 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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Warrants

The Company accounts for the 16,233,333 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (the 11,500,000 Public Warrants and the 4,733,333 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”), and ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Such guidance provides that because the warrants meet the criteria thereunder for equity classification, each warrant is recorded within Shareholders’ equity (deficit).

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. There have been no changes in classification of the warrants from the IPO through June 30, 2022.

Sponsor Loan

When the Company issues convertible debt it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480 and then whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a stand-alone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” as defined in ASC 815. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the statement of operations. The Sponsor Loan has a conversion feature that allows for converting the Sponsor Loan into Sponsor Loan Warrants. The Company performed an evaluation as outlined and determined that it qualifies for exemption as an equity instrument and is not bifurcated.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”)”, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on the inception date. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company’s 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 accompanying condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3 - PUBLIC OFFERING
   
Pursuant to the Public Offering, the Company offered 23,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which included the exercise in full of the underwriter’s option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at the Public Offering price to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 9). The proceeds from the Public Offering and the related offering costs were allocated between the Class A ordinary shares, Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants using the relative fair value method. Costs associated with Class A ordinary shares were classified as a reduction of temporary equity, and costs allocated to the warrants were classified as a reduction of permanent equity.


On November 12, 2021, the Sponsor issued a promissory note for $4,600,000, the proceeds from which were deposited into the Trust Account. Additionally, on November 12, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 4,733,333 Private Placement Warrants at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor generated proceeds of $7,100,000. Of these proceeds, $4,600,000 was deposited into the Trust Account. The remaining cash was deposited into the Company’s operating account for future business expenditures.

NOTE 4 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,733,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, or approximately $7,100,000 in the aggregate in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per ordinary share. $4,600,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was deposited into the Trust Account. The remaining cash was deposited into the Company’s operating account for future working capital purposes. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

The Sponsor, as purchaser of the Private Placement Warrants, agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (except to permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 a Business Combination, the Company would repay any outstanding Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, any outstanding Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of funds held outside the Trust Account to repay any outstanding Working Capital Loans, but no funds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay any outstanding Working Capital Loans. Any outstanding Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2022, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
  
Founder Shares

On May 13, 2021, the Sponsor, along with certain funds controlled by Data Point Capital, acquired 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Up to 750,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture in the event that the underwriter did not purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments. Prior to the initial investment in the Company of $25,000 by the Sponsor along with certain funds controlled by Data Point Capital, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The per share purchase price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the Company by the aggregate number of Founder Shares issued. Following the exercise in full of the underwriter’s over-allotment option on November 12, 2021, no Founder Shares remain subject to forfeiture.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on the day of the closing of the Business Combination, at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of all Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares plus (iii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities (as defined herein) or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the Business Combination, excluding (x) any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination, and (y) the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, any Sponsor Loan Warrants which may be issued to the Sponsor, and any warrants issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the Company’s management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans. In no event will the Founder Shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one. Prior to our Business Combination, only holders of the Founder Shares will be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors.
 
Promissory Note — Related Party
  
Prior to the closing of the Public Offering, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company under an unsecured promissory note up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Public Offering. The unsecured promissory note was non-interest bearing and was due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 and the closing of the Public Offering. As of June 30, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the unsecured promissory note. The Company borrowed an aggregate of $159,025 under the unsecured promissory note and the loan was subsequently paid in full in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering and the unsecured promissory note is no longer available to the Company.

Sponsor Loan
 
The Sponsor loaned the Company $4,600,000 as of the closing of the Public Offering. The Sponsor Loan bears no interest. The proceeds of the Sponsor Loan were deposited into the Trust Account and can be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). The Sponsor Loan shall, at the Sponsor’s discretion, be repaid or converted into Sponsor Loan Warrants at a conversion price of $1.50 per Sponsor Loan Warrant, upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The Sponsor Loan was extended in order to ensure that the amount in the Trust Account is $10.20 per Public Share. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination and the Sponsor Loan has not been converted into Sponsor Loan Warrants by such time, the Company will not repay the Sponsor Loan and its proceeds will be distributed to the Public Shareholders. The Sponsor has waived any claims against the Trust Account in connection with the Sponsor Loan. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $4,600,000 outstanding under the Sponsor Loan.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor Loan Warrants, if any, and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor Loan Warrants, if any, and warrants issued upon conversion of any Working Capital Loans), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to the registration rights agreement, dated as of November 8, 2021, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the other undersigned parties listed under holders thereto. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
  
Underwriting Agreement
 
The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $4,600,000 paid at the closing of the Public Offering. An additional fee of $8,050,000 will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions, which is included in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7 - CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REDEMPTION
 
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to possible redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as a component of shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, such Class A ordinary shares of the Company are classified as temporary equity.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled as follows:

NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding. 
Class A Ordinary Shares The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.
 
Class B Ordinary Shares The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares were issued and outstanding. Up to 750,000 of Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture in the event that the underwriter did not purchase additional Units to cover over-allotments. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised on November 12, 2021 and the forfeiture restrictions lapsed. Prior to the initial investment in the Company of $25,000 by the Sponsor along with certain funds controlled by Data Point Capital, the Company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The per share purchase price of the Founder Shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to the Company by the aggregate number of Founder Shares issued. Holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, except as required by law or stock exchange rule; provided that only holders of the Class B ordinary shares shall have the right to vote on the election of the Company’s directors prior to the Business Combination.

NOTE 9 - WARRANTS

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to the Public Warrants is available and such Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or holders are permitted to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances as a result of the Company’s failure to have an effective registration statement by the 60th business day after the closing of the Business Combination). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of its Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Company’s Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the Public Warrants expire or are redeemed. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the above requirements, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. However, no Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any Class A ordinary shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the Class A ordinary 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.

The Public Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the 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 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 initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions) and (z) the volume weighted-average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Public 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 $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described in the Public Warrant Agreement, dated November 8, 2021 by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, under “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares” and “Redemption of warrants for cash” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and (iii) are subject to registration rights.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that (i) they will not be redeemable, (ii) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) are subject to registration rights.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00: Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):


in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

if, and only if the last reported sale price of Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted).

The Company will not redeem the Public Warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. Any such exercise would not be on a cashless basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Public Warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any extended time that we have to consummate a business combination beyond 18 months as a result of a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.


Both Public and Private Warrants are accounted for as equity instruments.

Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on April 8, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”) that we have not yet identified. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. We completed our Public Offering on November 12, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we had not identified any Business Combination target.

We presently have no operating revenues and have had no operations other than the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a Business Combination.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Our registration statement for our Public Offering was declared effective on November 8, 2021. On November 12, 2021, we consummated our Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the exercise in full of the underwriter’s option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at the Public Offering price to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, we consummated the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 4,733,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to DP Investment Management Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”), each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7.1 million.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, pursuant to the Sponsor’s promissory note (the “Sponsor Note”), the Sponsor loaned $4,600,000 to the Company (the “Sponsor Loan”). The Sponsor Loan is interest free. The Sponsor Loan shall be repaid or converted into warrants (the “Sponsor Loan Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Sponsor Loan Warrant, at the Sponsor’s discretion and at any time until the consummation of our initial Business Combination. Any Sponsor Loan Warrants issued will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Upon the closing of our Public Offering, a total of $234.6 million ($10.20 per unit), comprised of $225.4 million of the proceeds from the Public Offering (which amount includes $8.05 million of the underwriter’s deferred discount), $4.6 million of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and $4.6 million of the proceeds from the Sponsor Loan, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account (“Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account 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 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of our Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

We must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in trust) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our Business Combination. However, we only intend to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction 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.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or May 12, 2023, (the “Combination Period”), and our shareholders have not amended our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend such Combination Period, we 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 subject to lawfully available funds therefor, 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 us to pay our taxes (if any) (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the 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 our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $5,259 and $133,844, respectively, which consisted of formation and general and administrative expenses of $322,047 and $473,303, respectively and earnings on investments held in the Trust Account of $316,788 and $339,459, respectively.

All activity from April 8, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2022, relates to our formation and our Public Offering and subsequent to our Public Offering, the search for a target for our Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination, at the earliest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and investments in the Trust Account of $234,939,459. We may withdraw interest to pay our income taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $1,191,828 of cash held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital of $1,211,167.

The registration statement for our Public Offering was declared effective by the SEC on November 8, 2021. On November 12, 2021, we consummated our Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, inclusive of the underwriters’ election to exercise their option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 4,733,333 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $7,100,000. On the Close Date, our Sponsor loaned us $4,600,000 under the Sponsor Loan.

Following the Public Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and the issuance of the proceeds under the Sponsor Loan, a total of $234,600,000 was placed in the Trust Account, comprised of $225,400,000 from the proceeds of the Public Offering, $4,600,000 from the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and $4,600,000 from the proceeds of the Sponsor Loan. We incurred $13,148,152 in transaction costs, including $4,600,000 of underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $498,152 of other costs.

Our liquidity needs up to June 30, 2022 had been satisfied through (i) a payment from the Sponsor along with certain funds controlled by Data Point Capital of $25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares to the Sponsor and (ii) the receipt of loans to us of up to $300,000 by the Sponsor under an unsecured promissory note. The unsecured promissory note was non-interest bearing and was due at the earlier of December 31, 2021 and the closing of the Public Offering. As of June 30, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the unsecured promissory note. We borrowed an aggregate of $159,025 under the unsecured promissory note and the loan was subsequently paid in full in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering and the unsecured promissory note is  no longer available to us. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us working capital loans. As of June 30, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loans.

We may need to raise additional funds from our Sponsor and/or third parties in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. If our estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating the initial Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to a Business Combination. The Sponsor is not under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, us. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If a Business Combination is not consummated by May 12, 2023 and our shareholders have not amended our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend such Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of us. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of Financial Statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the working capital loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub‑divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 120 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the Public Offering to purchase on a pro rata basis up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The over-allotment option was exercised in full on November 12, 2021.

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Public Offering. An additional fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8.05 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Investments Held in the Trust Account

Our investments consist of a portfolio of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, each with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When our investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities and are recognized at fair value. When our investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account in the condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Warrant Classification

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period date while the warrants are outstanding. The warrants are recorded as a component of equity.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. There have been no changes in classification of the warrants from the IPO through June 30, 2022.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to possible redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity in the commitments and contingencies section of the condensed balance sheet. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’(deficit) equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

We follow the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding during the period. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering or the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 16,233,333 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The Sponsor Loan Warrants to be granted upon conversion of the Sponsor Loan, if any, would also be anti-dilutive and would therefore also be excluded from the calculation.

The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of income per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted, for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income on earnings, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption outstanding over the period. Net loss is allocated evenly on a pro rata basis between Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares based on weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding over the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”)”, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. We early adopted ASU 2020-06 on our inception date. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our 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 accompanying condensed Financial Statements.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation had a material impact on our business or operating results during the period presented.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the Financial Statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years from the completion of our Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURE.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

None.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 11, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2021, other than as set forth below:

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. 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.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules that would, among other items, impose additional disclosure requirements in initial public offerings by SPACs and business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amend the financial statement requirements applicable to business combination transactions involving such companies; update and expand guidance regarding the general use of projections in SEC filings, as well as when projections are disclosed in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increase the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and impact 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 business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.
