Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on February 8, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While we may pursue an initial Business Combination target in any industry or region, we currently intend to focus on technology-enabled businesses in Europe. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following our Initial Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our entire activity since inception has been to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, which was consummated on April 12, 2021 and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On April 12, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units. On April 15, 2021, the Underwriter exercised its over- allotment option in full and purchased an additional 4,500,000 Units, which purchase settled on April 16, 2021, at $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $345,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,083,333 at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,625,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $345,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $15,383,343 in offering costs, consisting of $5,400,000 of underwriting discount, $9,450,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $533,343 of other offering costs, of which $749,481 was allocated to warrants and charged to expense.

20

At September 30, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $346,437,471. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and less taxes payable) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay our taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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.

At September 30, 2022 we had cash of $21,165 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate, and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial Business Combination, our sponsor, officers, directors, or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants.

Going Concern

We anticipate that the $21,165 outside of the Trust Account as of September 30, 2022, might not be sufficient to allow us to operate until April 12, 2023, the Combination Period (as defined above), assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Until consummation of our business combination, we will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans from the initial shareholders, our officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

We can raise additional capital through Working Capital Loans from the initial shareholders, our officers, directors, or their respective affiliates, or through loans from third parties. None of the sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If we are unable to raise additional capital, 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 its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the condensed financial statements.

Prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination, the Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company 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 Company’s Trust Account. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.

We have until April 12, 2023, or 24 months from the closing of the IPO, to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that we will be able consummate a business combination within the Combination Period. If a business combination is not consummated within the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance ASU Topic 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, we have determined that mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should we be unable to complete a business combination, also raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception through September 30, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of income earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering and will recognize other income and expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. We are incurring expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting, and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a Business Combination.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $1,283,904, which consisted of $1,157,660 of income earned on investments held in the Trust Account and unrealized gains on the fair value of warrant liabilities of $495,408, offset by operating costs of $369,164.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $13,826,234, which consisted of $1,419,580 of income earned on investments held in the Trust Account and unrealized gains on the fair value of warrant liabilities of $13,911,703 and bank interest income of $707, offset by operating costs of $1,505,756.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $3,984,808, which consisted of $4,345 of income earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account and operating account and unrealized gains on the fair value of warrant liabilities of $4,211,776, offset by operating costs of $231,313.

For the period from February 8, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, we had net income of approximately $10,264,967, which consisted of $11,127 of income earned on investments held in the Trust Account and unrealized gains on the fair value of warrant liabilities of $11,565,936, offset by operating costs of $562,615 and offering costs allocated to warrants of $749,481.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our 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 are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic net income per ordinary share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. Our net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not our income or losses.

22

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 unaudited condensed 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.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii)of Regulation S-K.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2022.

The Underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $9.45 million, in aggregate. The Underwriter’s deferred commissions will be paid to the Underwriter from the funds held in the Trust Account upon and concurrently with the completion of our initial Business Combination. The deferred underwriting fees will be waived by the Underwriter solely in the event that we do not complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

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 unaudited condensed 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 independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (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 PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the unaudited condensed 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 CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial 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. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, including amounts in the Trust Account, will be invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that 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. However, if the interest rates of the U.S. Treasury obligations become negative, we may have less proceeds held in the Trust Account than initially deposited.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception, and we do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

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 September 30, 2022, due to the previous material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described in Item 4. Controls and Procedures included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on October 25, 2021 and November 22, 2021, and due to the restatement of our April 12, 2021 financial statement and unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021, included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, in each case regarding the classification of redeemable Class A Shares, as described below, which each constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as it relates to accounting for complex financial instruments. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited condensed financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Regarding the restatements to the condensed balance sheets included on the Company’s Form 8-K and the unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021, included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, this was necessitated by the fact that the Company’s shares are complex financial instruments with certain redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company and thus require Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption in permanent equity. The Company revised its unaudited condensed financial statements to classify all Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption 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.

It is noted that the non-cash adjustments to the unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

24

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness described above, our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications continue to perform additional analyses as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited condensed financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We plan to continue to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our unaudited condensed financial statements. We can offer no assurance that our remediation plan will ultimately have the intended effects.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities.

On April 12, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share and one-third of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $300,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the Private Placement of an aggregate of 5,083,333 Private Placement Warrants to our sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $7,625,000. We granted Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., the Underwriter in the Initial Public Offering, a 45-day option to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 15, 2021, the Underwriter exercised the over- allotment option in full, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional 4,500,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) occurred on April 16, 2021. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $45,000,000.

The securities sold in our Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333- 253369). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on April 7, 2021.

The Private Placement Warrants were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Private Placement Warrants are the same as the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants, $345,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

Transaction costs for the Initial Public Offering amounted to $15,383,343, consisting of $5,400,000 of Underwriter’s discount, $9,450,000 of deferred Underwriter’s discount and $533,343 of other offering costs.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
