Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On October 19, 2021, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units (or 23,000,000 Units if the underwriter’s overallotment option is exercised in full) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000, and incurring offering costs of $11,929,189, consisting of $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $929,189 of other offering costs. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and
one-third
of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of Class A ordinary shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7).
Certain institutional anchor investors that are not affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers, directors, or any member of the Company’s management purchased an aggregate of 20,000,000 Units at the offering price of $10.00 per Unit.
The underwriters notified the Company of their intention to partially exercise the over-allotment option on November 30, 2021 (the “Over- Allotment”). As such, on November 30, 2021, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,240,488 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 165,398 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $12,404,880 and $248,097, respectively. The underwriters forfeited the balance of the over-allotment option. A total of $12,404,880 of the net proceeds was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $212,407,824 including $2,944 in interest (see Note 2). The Company incurred additional offering costs of $682,269 in connection with the Over-Allotment (of which $434,171 was for deferred underwriting fees).
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor has purchased 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,000,000 to the Company. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Private Placement, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 186,667 Private Placement Warrants to the Institutional Anchor Investors for $280,000 (see Note 7). On November 30, 2021, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,240,488 Option Units pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Option Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate additional gross proceeds of $12,404,880 to the Company. In connection with the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 165,398 warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per whole warrant.
Each Private Placement Warrant is identical to the warrants offered in the Initial Public Offering, except there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if we do not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Founder Shares
On March 9, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Also, on May 13, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 721,402 LLC Interest representing Founder Shares to the Company’s independent director nominees at their original issue price. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor will collectively own, on an
as-converted
basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On November 30, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised overallotment option to purchase an additional 1,240,488 Units. The company forfeited 439,878 Class B ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has 5,310,122 of Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or similar transaction that results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any
30-trading
day period commencing at least 120 days after the Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the
lock-up.
In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor sold 1,547,727 shares of Class B common stock (“Founder Shares”) to the Institutional Anchor Investors at the original purchase price of $0.004 per share. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investors to be $6.73 per share. The fair value of the Founder Shares were valued based on the probability of the Company reaching a Merger and Marketability. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A and 5T. Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs related to the Founder Shares amounted to $10,414,655, of which $10,062,469 were charged to shareholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $352,186 were expensed to the statement of operations and included in transaction costs attributable to warrant liabilities.
