6. Fair Value Measurements

The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The Company did not have any held-to-maturity securities as of September 30, 2020. The gross holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Held-To-Maturity

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2— Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3— Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

As of September 30, 2020, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $253,707,651 in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of December 31, 2019, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $253,551,083 in U.S. Treasury bills and $18,376 in cash. Cash, money market funds and U.S. Treasury bills are classified as Level 1 securities.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no changes in Levels 1, 2 and 3.
