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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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):

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

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

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

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

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Inflation

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

JOBS Act

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.

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.

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.

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.
