NOTICE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
IN LIEU OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
TO BE HELD [●], 2022
Dear Shareholders of Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. VI:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the extraordinary general
meeting in lieu of the annual general meeting of Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. VI, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”,
“we”, “us” or “our”), will be held on [●], [●], 2022 at [●] a.m., Pacific time,
at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, located at 525 University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301 (the “General
Meeting”), or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned,
and will be available to attend virtually via the Internet. You will be able to attend the General Meeting online, vote, view the list
of shareholders entitled to vote at the General Meeting and submit your questions during the General Meeting by visiting [●]. While
shareholders are encouraged to attend the meeting virtually, you will be permitted to attend the General Meeting in person at the offices
of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP only if (i) you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and show proof of such vaccination,
(ii) complete a visitor health form upon arrival and (iii) reserve your attendance at least two business days in advance of the General
Meeting by contacting Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, at One Manhattan West, New York, NY 10001, telephone (212) 735-3000.
The General Meeting will be held to consider and
vote upon the following proposals:
| 1. | Proposal No. 1 – The Extension Proposal – as a special resolution, to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) pursuant to an amendment to the Charter in the form set forth in Annex
A of the accompanying proxy statement to extend the date by which the Company must either (i) consummate a merger, amalgamation,
share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, which we refer to as our initial Business
Combination or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial Business Combination,
and redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Ordinary
Shares”), included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on October
14, 2020 (the “IPO”), from October 14, 2022 to [●], 2023 (the “Extension”, such date, the “Extended
Date”, and such proposal, the “Extension Proposal”); |
| 2. | Proposal No. 2 – The Adjournment Proposal – as an ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the General
Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient
votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”), which will
be presented at the General Meeting if, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the General Meeting
to approve the Extension Proposal, in which case the Adjournment Proposal will be the only proposal presented at the General Meeting;
and |
| 3. | to transact such other business as may properly come before the General Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. |
The above matters are more fully described in the
accompanying proxy statement. We urge you to read carefully the accompanying proxy statement in its entirety.
Approval of the Extension Proposal requires a special
resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary
Shares and the Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together
with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”), who, being present and entitled to vote at the General Meeting,
vote at the General Meeting.
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an
ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares who, being
present and entitled to vote at the General Meeting, vote at the General Meeting.
In connection with the Extension, public shareholders
may elect to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account
established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), including interest not previously released to the Company to
pay its income taxes, divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, regardless of how such
public shareholders vote on the Extension Proposal, or if they vote at all. If the Extension is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders,
the remaining public shareholders will retain their right to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares upon consummation of our initial
Business Combination if and when it is submitted to a vote of our shareholders, subject to any limitations set forth in the Charter, as
amended. In addition, public shareholders will be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed an
initial Business Combination by the Extended Date.
Pursuant to the Charter, a public shareholder may
request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such public shareholder’s public shares for cash if the Extension Proposal is
approved. You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:
| (i) | (a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares as part of units and elect to separate such units into the underlying
public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and |
| (ii) | prior to 2:00 p.m., Pacific time, on [●], 2022 (two business days prior to the vote at the General Meeting or any adjournment
thereof), (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (“Continental”),
the Company’s transfer agent, that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) tender or deliver your shares (and
share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms) to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”). |
Holders of units of the Company must elect
to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares.
If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank, as applicable, that
they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered
in its, his or her own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Your broker, bank or other
nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to separate the units into the underlying public shares and
public warrants in order to exercise redemption rights with respect to the public shares, so you should contact your broker, bank or other
nominee or intermediary. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the
Extension Proposal.
If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we
do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, the Charter provides that we will (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number
of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Board, 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.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to
complete our initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022 or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, the Extension Date.
The Company’s sponsor is SCH Sponsor VI LLC,
a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have
agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account in respect of any Class B Ordinary Shares
held by it or them, as applicable, if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination, although they will be entitled to
liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Class A Ordinary Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete
its initial Business Combination by the applicable deadline.
If the Company liquidates, the Sponsor has agreed
that it will be liable to us if, and to the extent, any claims by a third party (other than our independent auditors) for services rendered
or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the
amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such 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 assets in the Trust Account,
in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of
any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Moreover, 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 has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations
and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy
those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties, including,
without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Based upon the amount held in the Trust Account
as of June 30, 2022, which was $1,151,702,972, the Company estimates that the per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from
cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.00 at the time of the General Meeting. The closing price of a Class A Ordinary
Share on [●], 2022, was $[●]. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Class A Ordinary
Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient
liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.
If the Extension Proposal is approved, such approval
will constitute consent for the Company to (i) remove from the Trust Account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal
to the number of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including
interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares and (ii) deliver
to the holders of such redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The funds remaining in the Trust Account after the
removal of such Withdrawal Amount shall be available for use by the Company to complete an initial Business Combination on or before the
Extended Date. Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability
to vote on an initial Business Combination through the Extended Date if the Extension Proposal is approved.
The withdrawal of the Withdrawal Amount will reduce
the amount held in the Trust Account, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be significantly less than the approximately $1,151,702,972
that was in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022. In such event, the Company may need to obtain additional funds to complete its initial
Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.
Only shareholders of record of the Company as of
the close of business on [●], 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the General Meeting
or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each Ordinary Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote. On the Record Date, there were
143,750,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, including (i) 115,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 28,750,000 Class B Ordinary
Shares. The Company’s warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the proposals.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. Proxy voting permits shareholders
unable to attend the General Meeting in person to vote their shares through a proxy. By appointing a proxy, your shares will be represented
and voted in accordance with your instructions. You can vote your shares by completing and returning your proxy card or by completing
the voting instruction form provided to you by your broker. Proxy cards that are signed and returned but do not include voting instructions
will be voted by the proxy as recommended by the Board. You can change your voting instructions or revoke your proxy at any time prior
to the General Meeting by following the instructions included in this proxy statement and on the proxy card.
It is strongly recommended that you complete and
return your proxy card before the General Meeting date to ensure that your shares will be represented at the General Meeting. You are
urged to review carefully the information contained in the enclosed proxy statement prior to deciding how to vote your shares. If you
have any questions or need assistance voting your Ordinary Shares, please contact Morrow Sodali LLC (“Morrow”), our proxy

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND OUR
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING IN LIEU OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
These Questions and Answers
are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read
carefully the entire document, including any annexes to this proxy statement.
Why am I receiving this proxy statement?
This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card
are being sent to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board for use at the General Meeting to be held in person
or virtually on [●], 2022, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof. This proxy statement summarizes the information that
you need to make an informed decision on the proposals to be considered at the General Meeting.
The Company is a blank check company incorporated
on July 10, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share
purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as our initial Business Combination.
On October 14, 2020, the Company consummated its IPO of its units, with each unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth
of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment
option in the amount of 15,000,000 units. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 11,000,000
private placement warrants at a purchase price of $2.00 per private placement warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us
of $22,000,000. Following the closing of the IPO, a total of $1,150,000,000 ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from the IPO and the
sale of the private placement warrants was placed in the Trust Account, with Continental acting as trustee. Our Charter provides for the
return of the IPO proceeds held in the Trust Account to the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares if we do not complete our initial Business
Combination by October 14, 2022.
The purpose of the Extension Proposal is to allow
the Company more time to complete an initial Business Combination. While the Company is currently evaluating several Business Combination
opportunities, the Board has determined that there may not be sufficient time before October 14, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination.
Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the date by which the Company must
complete an initial Business Combination to the Extended Date.
What is being voted on?
You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:
(a) Proposal
No. 1 — The Extension Proposal — as a special resolution, to amend the Charter pursuant to an amendment to the Charter
in the form set forth in Annex A of this proxy statement to extend the date by which the Company must either (i) consummate
our initial Business Combination or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such
initial Business Combination, and redeem all of the Class A Ordinary Shares, from October 14, 2022 to the Extended Date;
and
(b) Proposal
No. 2 — The Adjournment Proposal — as an ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the General Meeting to a later
date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or
otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Proposal, which will be presented at the General Meeting if, based on the
tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the General Meeting to approve the Extension Proposal, in which case the
Adjournment Proposal will be the only proposal presented at the General Meeting.
If the Extension Proposal is approved, we plan
to hold an extraordinary general meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination
and related proposals.
You are not being asked to vote on an initial Business
Combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Extension,
you will retain the right to vote on an initial Business Combination if and when such transaction is submitted to shareholders and the
right to redeem your public shares for cash from the Trust Account in the event a proposed initial Business Combination is approved and
completed or the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the Extended Date. If an initial Business Combination
is not consummated by the Extended Date, assuming the Extension is implemented, the Company will redeem its public shares.
Can I attend the General Meeting?
The General Meeting will be held on [●],
2022, at [●], Pacific time, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, located at 525 University Avenue, Palo
Alto, CA 94301, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned,
and will be available to attend virtually via the Internet. You will be able to attend the General Meeting online, vote, view the list
of shareholders entitled to vote at the General Meeting and submit your questions during the General Meeting by visiting [●]. The
General Meeting will comply with the meeting rules of conduct. The rules of conduct will be posted on the virtual meeting web portal.
We encourage you to access the General Meeting webcast prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin fifteen minutes prior to the
start time of the General Meeting, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures. While shareholders are encouraged to attend
the meeting virtually, you will be permitted to attend the General Meeting in person at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom LLP only if (i) you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and show proof of such vaccination, (ii) complete a visitor health form
upon arrival and (iii) reserve your attendance at least two business days in advance of the General Meeting by contacting Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, at One Manhattan West, New York, NY 10001, telephone (212) 735-3000. You may submit your proxy by completing,
signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares
in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your broker,
bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide
the broker, bank or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares.
Why should I vote to approve the Extension?
Our Board believes shareholders will benefit from
the Company consummating an initial Business Combination and is proposing the Extension to extend the date by which the Company has to
complete an initial Business Combination until the Extended Date. The Extension is expected to give the Company the opportunity to complete
its initial Business Combination.
If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we
do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, the Charter provides that we will (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number
of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Board, 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.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to
complete our initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022 or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, the Extension Date.
We believe that the provisions of the Charter described
in the preceding paragraph were included to protect the Company’s shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably
long period if the Company failed to find a suitable initial Business Combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Charter. We also
believe, however, that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on pursuing an initial Business Combination, and
our belief that a Business Combination is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, the Extension is warranted. The sole
purpose of the Extension Proposal is to provide the Company with additional time to complete an initial Business Combination, which the
Board believes is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.
In connection with the Extension, public shareholders
may elect to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, divided by the number of then-issued
and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, regardless of how such public shareholders vote on the Extension Proposal, or if they vote at
all. We will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of public shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets
following approval of the Extension Proposal, as provided in the Charter.
Liquidation of the Trust Account is a fundamental
obligation of the Company to the public shareholders and the Company is not proposing, and will not propose, to change that obligation
to the public shareholders. If holders of public shares do not elect to redeem their public shares, such holders shall retain redemption
rights in connection with an initial Business Combination. Assuming the Extension is approved, the Company will have until the Extended
Date to complete its initial Business Combination.
Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of
the Extension Proposal, but expresses no opinion as to whether you should redeem your public shares.
When would the Board abandon the Extension Proposal?
Our Board will abandon the Extension if our shareholders
do not approve the Extension Proposal. Additionally, we are not permitted to redeem our Class A Ordinary Shares in an amount that would
cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, and we will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our Class A Ordinary
Shares in connection with the Extension would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension
Proposal.
How do the Company insiders intend to vote their
shares?
The Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers
and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees (collectively, the “Initial Shareholders”) collectively have the
right to vote 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, and are expected to vote all of their shares in favor
of each proposal to be voted upon by our shareholders at the General Meeting.
The Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers
or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the
open market prior to the General Meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so. Any such purchases that are completed after
the Record Date may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder, for so long as it remains the record holder
of the Ordinary Shares in question, will vote in favor of the proposals and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to
the Ordinary Shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that
the proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases
do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the proposals and elected
to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices
that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of the funds held in the Trust Account will be
used to purchase public shares or warrants in such transactions. Any Class A Ordinary Shares held by or subsequently purchased by our
affiliates may be voted in favor of the proposals. Additionally, at any time at or prior to the General Meeting, subject to applicable
securities laws (including with respect to material non-public information) the Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers or
advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may, although they are under no obligation to do so, enter into transactions with investors
and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the proposals or not redeem
their public shares. The Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers or advisors or any of their respective affiliates are restricted
from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or during
a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
What vote is required to approve the Extension
Proposal?
Approval of the Extension Proposal requires a special
resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares,
who, being present and entitled to vote at the General Meeting, vote at the General Meeting.
What vote is required to approve the Adjournment
Proposal?
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an
ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares who, being
present and entitled to vote at the General Meeting, vote at the General Meeting.
What if I want to vote against or do not want
to vote for any of the proposals?
If you do not want any of the proposals to be approved,
you should vote against such proposals. A shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person or online at the General Meeting
will not be counted towards the number of shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established,
such failure to vote will have no effect on such proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination
of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on any of the proposals. We believe that each of the proposals is a “non-discretionary”
matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the General Meeting.
Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate
the Trust Account?
Other than the Extension until the Extended Date,
as described in this proxy statement, we do not anticipate seeking any further extension to consummate an initial Business Combination.
How are the funds in the Trust Account currently
being held?
With respect to the regulation of special purpose
acquisition companies like the Company (“SPACs”), on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”)
relating to, among other items, disclosures in Business Combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the
condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC
filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed Business
Combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain
conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.
With regard to the SEC’s investment company
proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals, while the funds in the Trust Account have, since the Company’s initial public offering,
been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S.
Treasuries, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective
test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), the Company will, prior to the date of the General Meeting, instruct
Continental to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination and liquidation
of the Company.
What happens if the Extension Proposal is not
approved?
If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we
do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, the Charter provides that we will (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number
of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Board, 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.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to
complete our initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022 or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, the Extension Date.
The Sponsor or the Company’s directors and
officers have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account in respect of any Class B Ordinary
Shares held by it or them, as applicable, if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, or, if
the Extension Proposal is approved, the Extension Date, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
with respect to any Class A Ordinary Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination by the applicable
deadline. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from $100,000 of interest from the Trust Account and its remaining assets outside
of the Trust Account.
If the Extension Proposal is approved, what
happens next?
The Company is continuing its efforts to complete
an initial Business Combination. The Company is seeking approval of the Extension because the Company may not be able to complete an initial
Business Combination prior to October 14, 2022. If the Extension Proposal is approved, the Company expects to continue evaluating Business
Combination opportunities in pursuit of entering into a Business Combination Agreement and seeking shareholder approval of a Business
Combination. If shareholders approve such Business Combination, the Company expects to consummate the Business Combination as soon as
possible following shareholder approval and satisfaction of the other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.
Upon approval of the Extension Proposal by the
required number of votes, the amendment to the Charter in the form attached as Annex A hereto will be effective. The Company will remain
a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and its units, Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants will remain publicly traded.
If the Extension Proposal is approved, any removal
of any Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest
of Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor through the Class B Ordinary Shares. We will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of Class
A Ordinary Shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension, as provided in the
Charter.
If the Extension Proposal is approved, an affiliate
of the Sponsor will continue to receive payments from the Company of $10,000 per month for office space, and administrative and support
services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of October 8, 2020, by and between the Company and the Sponsor (the
“Administrative Services Agreement”).
Where will I be able to find the voting results
of the General Meeting?
We will announce preliminary voting results at
the General Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business
days after the General Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four
business days after the General Meeting, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the
final results in an amendment to such Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.
Would I still be able to exercise my redemption
rights in connection with a vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination?
Yes. Assuming you are a shareholder as of the record
date for voting on a proposed initial Business Combination, you will be able to vote on a proposed initial Business Combination. If you
disagree with an initial Business Combination, you will retain your right to redeem your Class A Ordinary Shares upon consummation of
such initial Business Combination, subject to any limitations set forth in our Charter.
How do I change my vote?
If you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares
and wish to change your vote, you may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to the Company’s Secretary at 506 Santa Cruz Avenue,
Suite 300, Menlo Park, CA 94025, so that it is received by the Company’s Secretary prior to the vote at the General Meeting (which
is scheduled to take place on [●], 2022). Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the Company’s
Secretary, which must be received by the Company’s Secretary prior to the vote at the General Meeting, or by attending the General
Meeting, revoking their proxy and voting in person (including by virtual means). Attendance at the General Meeting alone will not change
your vote. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your
broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.
How are votes counted?
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election
appointed for the meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes
for each of the proposals. A shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person or virtually at the General Meeting will
not be counted towards the number of shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, will
have no effect on the proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid
quorum is established but will have no effect on any of the proposals. We believe that each of the proposals is a “non-discretionary”
matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the General Meeting.
If my shares are held in “street name,”
will my broker automatically vote them for me?
If you do not give instructions to your broker,
your broker can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary”
items. We believe that each of the proposals are “non-discretionary” items.
Your broker can vote your shares with respect to
“non-discretionary” items only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares.
Your broker can tell you how to provide these instructions. If you do not give your broker instructions, your shares will be treated as
broker non-votes with respect to all proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination
of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on any of the proposals. We believe that each of the proposals is a “non-discretionary”
matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the General Meeting.
What is a quorum?
A quorum is the minimum number of shares required
to be present at the General Meeting for the General Meeting to be properly held under our Charter and Cayman Islands law. The presence,
in person, virtually, by proxy, or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy, of the
holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting constitutes a quorum. Proxies
that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to us but marked by brokers
as “not voted” (so-called “broker non-votes”) will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the
presence of establishing a quorum on all matters. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory
organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-discretionary” matters. We believe that each of the proposals
is a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the General Meeting.
Who can vote at the General Meeting?
Holders of Ordinary Shares as of the close of business
on [●], 2022, the Record Date, are entitled to vote at the General Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 143,750,000 Ordinary
Shares issued and outstanding, including (i) 115,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 28,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. The Company’s
warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the proposals.
In deciding all matters at the General Meeting,
each shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each share held by them on the Record Date. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and holders
of Class B Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders except as required
by law. The Initial Shareholders collectively own all of our issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, constituting 20% of our issued
and outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Registered Shareholders. If our shares are
registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those
shares. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card
or to vote in person at the General Meeting.
“Street Name” Shareholders.
If our shares are held on your behalf in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of
those shares held in “street name,” and your broker or nominee is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those
shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee as to how to vote your shares. However, since a beneficial
owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your Ordinary Shares at the General Meeting unless you follow your broker’s
procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to shareholders who hold their shares through a broker,
bank or other nominee as “street name shareholders.”
Does the Board recommend voting for the approval
of the proposals?
Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and
conditions of these proposals, the Board has determined that each of the proposals are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The Board recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals.
What interests do the Company’s directors
and officers have in the approval of the proposals?
The Company’s directors and officers have
interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include ownership
of Class B Ordinary Shares, private placement warrants that may become exercisable in the future, any loans by them to the Company that
will not be repaid in the event of our winding up and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements. See the section entitled “Proposal
No. 1 — The Extension Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and the Company’s Directors and Officers” for more information.
Are there any appraisal or similar rights for
dissenting shareholders?
Neither Cayman Islands law nor our Charter provides
for dissenters’ rights for dissenting shareholders in connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting.
As a matter of Cayman Islands law, dissenters’ rights only apply in a statutory merger where the Company is a constituent company,
which is not the case with any of the proposals.
Warrant holders do not have appraisal rights in
connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting.
What happens to the Company’s warrants
if the Extension Proposal is not approved?
If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we
do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, the Charter provides that we will (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number
of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Board, 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.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to
complete our initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022 or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, the Extension Date.
What happens to the Company’s warrants
if the Extension Proposal is approved?
If the Extension is approved, the Company expects
to continue to attempt to consummate an initial Business Combination until the Extended Date, and will retain the blank check company
restrictions previously applicable to it. The warrants will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.
How do I vote?
If you are a holder of record of Ordinary Shares
on [●], 2022, the Record Date for the General Meeting, you may vote in person or by virtual attendance at the General Meeting or
by submitting a proxy for the General Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy
card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares
are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related
to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or other nominee with instructions
on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the General Meeting and vote in person, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank
or other nominee. If you hold your shares in “street name” and wish to vote online by virtually attending the General Meeting,
you must email a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of your legal proxy to Continental at proxy@continentalstock.com. If you email
a valid legal proxy, you will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow you to register to attend and participate in
the General Meeting. If you wish to attend the General Meeting virtually you should contact Continental no later than [●], 2022,
to obtain this information. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to
it as to how to vote your shares, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or
intermediary.
How do I redeem my Ordinary Shares?
Pursuant to the Charter, a public shareholder may
request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such shareholder’s public shares for cash if the Extension Proposal is approved.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:
(i) (a)
hold public shares or (b) hold public shares as part of units and elect to separate such units into the underlying public shares and public
warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and
(ii) prior
to 2:00 p.m., Pacific time, on [●], 2022 (two business days prior to the vote at the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof),
(a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, the Company’s
transfer agent, that the Company redeem your public shares for cash and (b) tender or deliver your shares (and share certificates (if
any) and other redemption forms) to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.
Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying
public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units
in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying
public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its, their own name, the holder must contact the transfer
agent directly and instruct it to do so. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions
to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants in order to exercise redemption rights with respect to the
public shares, so you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or
a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Extension Proposal.
What should I do if I receive more than one
set of voting materials?
You may receive more than one set of voting materials,
including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered
in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account,
you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and
return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
Our Board is soliciting proxies for use at the
General Meeting. All costs associated with this solicitation will be borne directly by the Company. We have engaged Morrow to assist in
the solicitation of proxies for the General Meeting. We have agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $[●], plus disbursements, and indemnify
Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses for their services as the Company's proxy
solicitor. We will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Class
A Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Class A Ordinary Shares and in obtaining
voting instructions from those owners. Our directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the
Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

THE
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING IN LIEU OF
THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Date, Time, Place and Purpose of the General
Meeting
The General Meeting will be held in person or by
proxy on [●], 2022 at [●] a.m., Pacific time, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP located at 525
University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301, or virtually via live webcast at [●], to consider and vote upon the proposals to be put
to the General Meeting. While shareholders are encouraged to attend the meeting virtually, you will be permitted to attend the General
Meeting in person at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP only if (i) you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19
and show proof of such vaccination, (ii) complete a visitor health form upon arrival and (iii) reserve your attendance at least two business
days in advance of the General Meeting by contacting Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, at One Manhattan West, New York, NY
10001, telephone (212) 735-3000.
At the General Meeting, you will be asked to consider
and vote upon proposals to:
| 1. | Proposal No. 1 – The Extension Proposal – as a special resolution, amend the Company’s Charter pursuant to
an amendment to the Charter in the form set forth in Annex A of this proxy statement to extend the date by which the Company must
either (i) consummate an initial Business Combination or (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if
it fails to complete such initial Business Combination, and redeem all of the Class A Ordinary Shares included as part of the units
sold in the Company’s IPO, from October 14, 2022 to the Extended Date; and |
| 2. | Proposal No. 2 – The Adjournment Proposal – as an ordinary resolution, approve the adjournment of the General Meeting
to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes
for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Proposal, which will be presented at the General Meeting if, based
on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the General Meeting to approve the Extension Proposal, in which
case the Adjournment Proposal will be the only proposal presented at the General Meeting; and |
| 3. | any other business as may properly come before the General Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. |
Voting Power; Record Date
Only shareholders of record of the Company as of
the close of business on [●], 2022, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the General Meeting or any adjournment or postponement
thereof. Each of the Ordinary Shares entitles the holder thereof to one vote. If your shares are held in “street name” or
are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are
properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 143,750,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, including 115,000,000 Class A
Ordinary Shares (that were initially sold as part of the IPO) and 28,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. The Company’s warrants
do not have voting rights in connection with the proposals.
Quorum and Vote of Shareholders
A quorum is the minimum number of shares required
to be present at the General Meeting for the General Meeting to be properly held under our Charter and Cayman Islands law. The presence,
in person, virtually, by proxy, or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy, of the
holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting constitutes a quorum. Proxies
that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to us but marked by brokers
as “not voted” (so-called “broker non-votes”) will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the
presence of a quorum on all matters. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization
rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-routine” matters. We believe that each of the proposals is a “non-discretionary”
matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the General Meeting.
Votes Required
Approval of the Extension Proposal requires a special
resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares,
represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who do so in person or by proxy at the General Meeting.
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an
ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented
in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who do so in person or by proxy at the General Meeting.
If you do not want any of the proposals to be approved,
you should vote against such proposals. A shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person or online at the General Meeting
will not be counted towards the number of shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established,
such failure to vote will have no effect on such proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination
of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on any of the proposals. We believe that each of the proposals is a “non-discretionary”
matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the General Meeting.
Voting
You can vote your shares at the General Meeting
by proxy or online by virtually attending the General Meeting. If your shares are owned directly in your name with our transfer agent,
Continental, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record.” If your shares are held in a stock
brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee or intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street
name” and are considered a “non-record (beneficial) shareholder.”
Shareholders of Record
You can vote by proxy by having one or more individuals
who will be at the General Meeting vote your shares for you. These individuals are called “proxies” and using them to cast
your ballot at the General Meeting is called voting “by proxy.” If you wish to vote by proxy, you must (i) complete the enclosed
form, called a “proxy card,” and mail it in the envelope provided or (ii) submit your proxy over the Internet in accordance
with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. If you complete the proxy card and mail it in the envelope provided or submit your proxy
over the Internet as described above, you will designate each of Chamath Palihapitiya, Ian Osborne, James Ryans, Simon Williams or the
Chairperson of the General Meeting to act as your proxy at the General Meeting. One of the aforementioned individuals will then vote your
shares at the General Meeting in accordance with the instructions you have given them in the proxy card with respect to the proposals
presented in this proxy statement. Proxies will extend to, and be voted at, any adjournments or postponements of the General Meeting.
Alternatively, you can vote your shares online
by virtually attending the General Meeting.
Beneficial Owners
If your shares are held in an account through a
broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary, you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following
the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement. Your broker, bank or other nominee
may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your shares, so you should read carefully
the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary.
If you wish to attend and vote your shares at the
General Meeting, you must first obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares and email a copy (a
legible photograph is sufficient) of your legal proxy to Continental at proxy@continentalstock.com. Beneficial owners who email a valid
legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the General
Meeting. Beneficial owners who wish to attend the General Meeting virtually should contact Continental no later than [●], 2022,
to obtain this information.
If you do not provide voting instructions to your
bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary and you do not vote your shares at the General Meeting, your shares will not be voted on
any proposal on which your bank, broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. In these cases, the bank, broker
or other nominee or intermediary will not be able to vote your shares on those matters for which specific authorization is required. We
believe each of the proposals constitutes a “non-discretionary” matter.
Proxies
Our Board is asking for your proxy. Giving our
Board your proxy means you authorize it to vote your shares at the General Meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for or against
each proposal or you may abstain from voting. All valid proxies received prior to the General Meeting will be voted. All shares represented
by a proxy will be voted, and where a shareholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon,
the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, the shares will have no
effect on either of the proposals described herein and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other
matters that may properly come before the General Meeting.
Proxies that are marked “abstain” and
proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to us but marked by brokers as “not voted” (so-called
“broker non-votes”) will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters.
If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not
vote its shares on “non-discretionary” matters. We believe each of the proposals constitutes a “non-discretionary”
matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes at the General Meeting.
Shareholders who have questions or need assistance
in completing or submitting their proxy cards should contact our proxy solicitor, Morrow, at (800) 662-5200 or by sending a letter to
333 Ludlow Street, 5th Floor, South Tower, Stamford, CT 06902, or by emailing IPOF.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.
Revocability of Proxies
Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy
card to the Company’s Secretary at 506 Santa Cruz Avenue, Suite 300, Menlo Park, CA 94025, so that it is received by the Company’s
Secretary prior to the vote at the General Meeting (which is scheduled to take place on [●], 2022). Shareholders also may revoke
their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary, which must be received by the Company’s Secretary
prior to the vote at the General Meeting or by attending the General Meeting, revoking their proxy and voting in person (including by
virtual means). Attendance at the General Meeting alone will not change your vote. However, if your shares are held in “street name”
by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.
Attendance at the General Meeting
The General Meeting will be held in person or by
proxy at [●] a.m., Pacific time, on [●], 2022, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP located at 525
University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94301, or virtually via live webcast online at [●]. While shareholders are encouraged to attend
the meeting virtually, you will be permitted to attend the General Meeting in person at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom LLP only to the extent consistent with, or permitted by, applicable law and directives of public health authorities. You may submit
your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope.
If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should
contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard,
you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the General Meeting
and vote in person, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.
Solicitation of Proxies
Our Board is soliciting proxies for use at the
General Meeting. All costs associated with this solicitation will be borne directly by the Company. We have engaged Morrow to assist in
the solicitation of proxies for the General Meeting. We have agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $[●], plus disbursements, and indemnify
Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses for their services as the Company's proxy
solicitor. We will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Class A
Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Class A Ordinary Shares and in obtaining
voting instructions from those owners. Our directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the
Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.
You may contact Morrow at:
Morrow Sodali LLC

Email: IPOF.info@investor.morrowsodali.com
If any additional solicitation of the holders of
our outstanding Ordinary Shares is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly.
Dissenters’ Rights and Appraisal Rights
Neither Cayman Islands law nor our Charter provide
for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting shareholders in connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at the General
Meeting. Accordingly, our shareholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. As a matter of Cayman Islands
law, dissenters’ rights only apply in a statutory merger where the Company is a constituent company, which is not the case with
any of the proposals.
Warrant holders do not have appraisal rights in
connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting.
PROPOSAL
NO. 1 – THE EXTENSION PROPOSAL
Background
We are a blank check company, incorporated on July
10, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase,
reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses.
On October 14, 2020, the Company consummated its
IPO of its units, with each unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class
A Ordinary Share, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 15,000,000 units.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 11,000,000 private placement warrants at a purchase
price of $2.00 per private placement warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $22,000,000. Following the closing of
the IPO, a total of $1,150,000,000 ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants was
placed in the Trust Account, with Continental acting as trustee.
Reasons for the Extension Proposal
The Charter provides that we have until October
14, 2022, to complete an initial Business Combination. The Board has determined that there may not be sufficient time before October 14,
2022, to hold an extraordinary general meeting to obtain shareholder approval of and consummate a Business Combination. Accordingly, the
Board believes that in order to be able to successfully complete a Business Combination, it is appropriate to continue the Company’s
existence until the Extended Date. The Board believes that an initial Business Combination is in the best interests of the Company and
our shareholders. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the date by which
the Company must complete an initial Business Combination to the Extended Date.
If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we
do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, the Charter provides that we will (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number
of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Board, 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.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to
complete our initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022 or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, the Extension Date.
We believe that the provisions of the Charter described
in the preceding paragraph were included to protect the Company’s shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably
long period if the Company failed to find a suitable initial Business Combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Charter. We also
believe, however, that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on pursuing an initial Business Combination, and
our belief that the Business Combination is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, the Extension is warranted.
The sole purpose of the Extension
Proposal is to provide the Company with additional time to complete an initial business combination, which the Board believes is in the
best interests of the Company and our shareholders. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Charter is attached to this proxy statement
as Annex A.
You are not being asked to vote on an initial
Business Combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares in connection with
the Extension, you will retain the right to vote on an initial Business Combination if and when such transaction is submitted to shareholders
and the right to redeem your public shares for cash from the Trust Account in the event a proposed initial Business Combination is approved
and completed or the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the Extended Date. If an initial Business Combination
is not consummated by the Extended Date, assuming the Extension is implemented, the Company will redeem its public shares.
If the Extension Proposal Is
Not Approved
If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we
do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, the Charter provides that we will (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number
of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Board, 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.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to
complete our initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022 or, if the Extension Proposal is approved, the Extension Date.
The Sponsor and the Company’s Initial Shareholders
have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account in respect of any Class B Ordinary Shares
held by it or them, as applicable, if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, or, if the Extension
Proposal is approved, the Extension Date, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect
to any Class A Ordinary Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination by the applicable deadline.
The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from $100,000 of interest from the Trust Account and its remaining assets outside of the
Trust Account.
If the Extension Proposal Is
Approved
If the Extension Proposal is approved, the Company
will file an amendment to the Charter with the Cayman Registrar in the form of Annex A hereto to extend the time it has to complete
an initial Business Combination until the Extended Date. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and its units,
Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants will remain publicly traded. The Company will then continue to work to consummate its
initial Business Combination by the Extended Date.
If the Extension Proposal is approved, and the
Extension is implemented, the amount held in the Trust Account will be reduced by withdrawals in connection with any shareholder redemptions.
The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension is approved, and the amount remaining in
the Trust Account may be significantly less than the approximately $1,151,702,972 that was in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022. We
will not proceed with the Extension if the number of redemptions of our public shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible
assets following approval of the Extension Proposal, as provided in the Charter.
If the Extension is approved, an affiliate of the
Sponsor will continue to receive payments from the Company of $10,000 per month for office space, and administrative and support services
until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of an initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation pursuant
to the Administrative Services Agreement.
Redemption Rights
If the Extension Proposal is approved, and the
Extension is implemented, each public shareholder may seek to redeem his, her or its public shares. Holders of public shares who do not
elect to redeem their public shares in connection with the Extension will retain the right to redeem their public shares in connection
with any shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial Business Combination, or if the Company has not consummated an initial Business
Combination by the Extended Date.
TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, YOU MUST ENSURE YOUR BANK
OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED HEREIN, INCLUDING SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST THAT YOUR SHARES BE REDEEMED FOR CASH
TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND TENDERING AND DELIVERING YOUR SHARES (AND SHARE CERTIFICATES (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS) TO THE TRANSFER
AGENT PRIOR TO 2:00 P.M., PACIFIC TIME, ON [●], 2022 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE GENERAL MEETING OR ANY ADJOURNMENT
THEREOF). You will only be entitled to receive cash in connection with a redemption of these shares if you continue to hold them until
the effective date of the Extension and redemptions.
Pursuant to the Charter, a public shareholder may
request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such public shareholder’s public shares for cash if the Extension is approved.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:
| (a) | (i) hold public shares or (ii) hold public shares as part of units and elect to separate such units into the underlying public shares
and warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and |
| (b) | prior to 2:00 p.m., Pacific time, on [●], 2022 (two business days prior to the vote at the General Meeting or any adjournment
thereof), (i) submit a written request to Continental, the Company’s transfer agent, that the Company redeem your public shares
for cash and (ii) tender or deliver your shares (and share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms) to the transfer agent, physically
or electronically through DTC. |
Holders of units must elect to separate the
underlying public shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units
in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the
underlying public shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its, his or her own name, the holder must contact
the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must
provide instructions to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants in order to exercise redemption rights
with respect to the public shares, so you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary. Public shareholders may
elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Extension Proposal.
Through the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”)
system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are
held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC
system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a shareholder’s
broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There
is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through
the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge a tendering broker fee and the broker would determine whether or not to pass
this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks
to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or
DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their
investment decision than those shareholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Shareholders who request physical stock
certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights
and thus may be unable to redeem their shares.
Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance
with these procedures prior to the vote on the Extension Proposal will not be redeemed for cash held in the Trust Account. In the event
that a public shareholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the General Meeting that it does not want to redeem its
shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to
the vote at the General Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically).
You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a public shareholder tenders
shares and the Extension is not approved, these shares will not be redeemed in connection with the Extension and the physical certificates
representing these shares will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Extension will not be approved.
The transfer agent will hold the certificates of public shareholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or
returned to such shareholders.
If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each
public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary
Shares. Based upon the amount held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022, which was $1,151,702,972, the Company estimates that the
per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $10.00 at the time of
the General Meeting. The closing price of a Class A Ordinary Share on [●], 2022 was $[●]. The Company cannot
assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, even if the market price per
share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders
wish to sell their shares.
If you exercise your redemption rights, you will
be exchanging your Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these
shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender or deliver your shares (and share certificates (if any) and other redemption
forms) to the transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC prior to the vote on the Extension Proposal. The Company anticipates
that a public shareholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Proposal would receive
payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension.
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
for Shareholders Exercising Redemption Rights
The following is a discussion of U.S. federal income
tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) that elect to have their Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed
for cash if the Extension is completed. This discussion applies only to Class A Ordinary Shares that are held as a capital asset
for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal
income tax consequences that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status, including:
| · | the Sponsor or our directors and officers |
| · | financial institutions or financial services entities; |
| · | taxpayers that that are subject to the mark-to-market method of accounting; |
| · | governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof; |
| · | regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts; |
| · | expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States; |
| · | persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total
value of all classes of our shares; |
| · | persons that acquired Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to an exercise of employee share options or upon payout of a restricted
stock unit, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation or in connection with the performance of services; |
| · | persons that hold Class A Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or
similar transaction; |
| · | persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; |
| · | controlled foreign corporations; and |
| · | passive foreign investment companies. |
This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the “Code”), proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and
administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply
retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. This discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than
those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment
income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation.
We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings
from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the exercise of redemption rights. There can be no assurance that
the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained
by a court.
This discussion does not consider the tax treatment
of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities through such entities. If a partnership (or any entity
or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Class A Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of such partnership
and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.
Partnerships holding any Class A Ordinary Shares and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their
tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of an exercise of redemption rights to them.
EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR
WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL,
STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
U.S. Holders
As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is
a beneficial owner of Class A Ordinary Shares who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| · | an individual citizen or resident of the United States, |
| · | a corporation (or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized
(or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, |
| · | an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or |
| · | a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons
have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S.
person. |
Redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares
In addition to the PFIC considerations discussed
below under “— PFIC Considerations,” the U.S.federal income tax consequences of the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s
Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this proxy statement will depend on whether the redemption
qualifies as a sale of such shares redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301
of the Code.
If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Class A
Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder will be treated as described below under the section entitled “— U.S. Holders — Gain
or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares.” If the redemption does not
qualify as a sale of Class A Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution with the tax consequences
described below under the section entitled “— U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions.”
The redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares
will generally qualify as a sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares that are redeemed if such redemption (i) is “substantially
disproportionate” with respect to the redeeming U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of such U.S.
Holder’s interest or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to such U.S. Holder. These
tests are explained more fully below.
For purposes of such tests, a U.S. Holder takes
into account not only ordinary shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder, but also ordinary shares that are constructively owned by such
U.S. Holder. A redeeming U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to ordinary shares owned directly, ordinary shares owned by certain
related individuals and entities in which such U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any
ordinary shares such U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include shares which could be
acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.
The redemption of ordinary shares will generally
be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a redeeming U.S. Holder if the percentage of the respective entity’s
outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owns immediately after the redemption is less than 80% of the percentage
of the respective entity’s outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owned immediately before the
redemption. Prior to an initial Business Combination, the Class A Ordinary Shares may not be treated as voting shares for this purpose
and, consequently, this substantially disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. Holder’s
interest if either (i) all of the ordinary shares actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all
of the ordinary shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed and such U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives
in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of ordinary shares owned by certain family members and such U.S. Holder does not constructively
own any other ordinary shares. The redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if it results
in a “meaningful reduction” of such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in the respective entity. Whether the redemption
will result in a meaningful reduction in such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances
applicable to it. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority
shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”
If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then
the redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares will be treated as a distribution to the redeemed holder and the tax effects to such U.S.
Holder will be as described below under the section entitled “— Taxation of Distributions.” After the application
of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed Class A Ordinary Shares will be added to such holder’s
adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to such holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in
other stock constructively owned by it.
U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors
as to the tax consequences of a redemption, including any special reporting requirements.
Taxation of Distributions.
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under
“— PFIC Considerations,” if the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Class A Ordinary Shares is treated as
a distribution, as discussed above, such distribution will generally be treated a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the
extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such dividends
will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed
to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders,
dividends will generally be taxed at preferential long-term capital gains rates only if (i) Class A Ordinary Shares are readily
tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (ii) Class A Ordinary Shares are eligible for the benefits
of an applicable income tax treaty, in each case provided that the Company is not treated as a PFIC in the taxable year in which the dividend
was paid or in any previous year and certain holding period and other requirements are met. Because we believe it is likely that we were
a PFIC for our prior taxable year ended December 31, 2021, it is likely that the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate would not
apply to any redemption proceeds treated as a distribution. Moreover, it is unclear whether redemption rights with respect to the Class
A Ordinary Shares may prevent the holding period of such shares from commencing prior to the termination of such rights. U.S. Holders
should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any redemption treated as a dividend with respect to
Class A Ordinary Shares.
Distributions in excess of current and accumulated
earnings and profits will generally constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S.
Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale
or other disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “—
Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares.”
Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition
of Class A Ordinary Shares.
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under
“— PFIC Considerations,” if the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Class A Ordinary Shares is treated as
a sale or other taxable disposition, as discussed above, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal
to the difference between (i) the amount realized and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Ordinary
Shares redeemed.
Under tax law currently in effect, long-term capital
gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at a reduced rate of tax. Capital gain
or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares exceeds one year.
However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares described in this proxy statement
may prevent the holding period of the Class A Ordinary Shares from commencing prior to the termination of such rights. The deductibility
of capital losses is subject to various limitations. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Class A Ordinary Shares (Class A
Ordinary Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisor to determine how the
above rules apply to them.
PFIC Considerations
A foreign corporation will be a PFIC for U.S. federal
income tax purposes if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income. Alternatively, a foreign corporation will
be a PFIC if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value
and averaged quarterly over the year are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends,
interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains
from the disposition of passive assets.
We believe it is likely that we were a PFIC for
our prior taxable year ended December 31, 2021. Our PFIC status for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2022, however, depends
in part on whether we complete a Business Combination prior to the end of such year, as well as the timing and specifics of any such Business
Combination. Because these and other facts on which any determination of PFIC status are based may not be known until the close of our
current taxable year, there can be no assurances with respect to our PFIC status for such year. Even if we are not a PFIC for our current
taxable year, a determination that we were a PFIC for any prior taxable year will continue to apply to any U.S. Holders who held our securities
during such prior taxable years, absent certain elections described below.
If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable
year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder and (ii) the U.S. Holder did not make a timely
and effective “qualified election fund” election for each of our taxable years as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held Class A
Ordinary Shares, a QEF Election along with a purging election, or a “mark-to-market” election, then such holder will generally
be subject to special rules (the “Default PFIC Regime”) with respect to:
| · | any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Class A Ordinary Shares; and |
| · | any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year
of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of its ordinary
shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such
ordinary shares). |
Under the Default PFIC Regime:
| · | the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its
Class A Ordinary Shares; |
| · | the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the
excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which
we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income; |
| · | the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s
holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and |
| · | an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in
respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of such U.S. Holder. |
THE PFIC RULES ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED
BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION
OF THE PFIC RULES TO THE REDEMPTION OF CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION, A PURGING ELECTION,
A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION, OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF MAKING OR HAVING MADE ANY SUCH ELECTION,
AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.
Required Vote
Approval of the Extension Proposal requires a special
resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares,
who, being present and entitled to vote at the General Meeting, vote at the General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be
counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on any of the proposals.
We believe each of the proposals constitutes a “non-discretionary” matter, and therefore, there will not be any broker non-votes
at the General Meeting. If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October
14, 2022, the Charter provides that we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably
possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses
and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption
will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions,
if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders
and the Board, 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with
respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022 or, if
the Extension Proposal is approved, the Extension Date.
The Sponsor and all of the Company’s directors
and officers are expected to vote all Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Extensions. On the Record Date, the Sponsor and all
of the Company’s directors and officers beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 28,750,000 Class B Ordinary
Shares. See the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for additional information
regarding the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares and their respective ownership thereof.
In addition, subject to applicable securities laws
(including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers or advisors or any of
their respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate
an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the General Meeting, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem,
public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to not redeem their public
shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the
future. In the event that the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers or advisors or any of their respective affiliates purchase
public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public
shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the Company’s redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.00 per share,
based on the amounts held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be
voted in favor of approving the Extension Proposal; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares
so purchased.
Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph,
the Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may purchase public shares
in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the General Meeting, although they are under no obligation to do so.
Any such purchases that are completed after the Record Date may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder,
for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the proposals and/or will not exercise its
redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase
the likelihood that the proposals to be voted upon at the General Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event
that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the
proposals and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected
at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of the funds held in
the Trust Account will be used to purchase public shares or warrants in such transactions. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased
by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the proposals. Additionally, at any time at or prior to the General Meeting, subject to applicable
securities laws (including with respect to material non-public information) the Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers or
advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, may, although they are under no obligation to do so, enter into transactions with investors
and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the proposals or not redeem
their public shares. The Sponsor and the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates are restricted
from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or during
a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
Interests of the Sponsor and the Company’s
Directors and Officers
When you consider the recommendation of our Board,
you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have interests that may be different from, or
in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:
| · | If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, the 28,750,000
Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and certain of our directors will be worthless (as the Sponsor and such directors have waived
liquidation rights with respect to such shares), as will the 5,000,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor; |
| · | In connection with the IPO, the Sponsor agreed that it will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the
Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company or prospective target
businesses with which the Company has entered into certain agreements; |
| · | All rights specified in the Charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by the Company, and of the Company’s
officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after an initial
Business Combination and, if the Extension Proposal is not approved and no initial Business Combination is completed by October 14, 2022,
so that the Company liquidates, the Company will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions; |
| · | None of the Company’s officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to the Company, and all
of the current officers and directors are expected to continue to serve in their roles at least through the date of the General Meeting
and may continue to serve following any potential initial Business Combination and receive compensation thereafter; |
| · | The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial Business Combination and, if the
Extension Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by October 14, 2022, they will not have any
claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement so that the Company will most likely be unable to reimburse such expenses; and |
| · | On September 30, 2021, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor for an aggregate amount of up to $2,500,000
in working capital loans (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and is due and payable in full
on the earlier of (i) October 14, 2022 and (ii) the effective date of a Business Combination. As of June 30, 2022, there was $1,262,500
outstanding under the Promissory Note. If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate an initial Business Combination
by October 14, 2022, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Promissory Note and it will be worthless. If the Extension Proposal
is approved, the Company and the Sponsor intend to extend the payment date of the Promissory Note to the earlier of (i) the Extended Date
and (ii) the effective date of a Business Combination. |
