NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On August 19, 2020, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 14,375,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Sponsor had agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,875,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the option to purchase additional units was not exercised in full by the underwriters or is reduced, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on October 6, 2020; thus, these shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Initial Shareholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial Shareholders with respect to any Founder Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

Related Party Loans

On August 19, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of October 6, 2020, the Company borrowed approximately $208,000 under the Note. The Company fully repaid this Note on October 8, 2020. No future borrowings are permitted under this loan.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into

warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

However, on April 30, 2021, the Company entered into a noninterest bearing unsecured promissory note with its Sponsor for the principal amount of up to $1.5 million. The Sponsor had the right at any time to convert the outstanding principal balance on the promissory note into warrants entitling the Sponsor to purchase one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share at a conversion price of $1.50 per warrant. The entire amount of $1.5 million was drawn to fund the operations of the Company on May 24, 2021 and immediately converted to 1,000,000 Working Capital Warrants, thereby canceling the promissory note. As with the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, the Working Capital Warrants are recognized as liabilities at fair value. The conversion to the Working Capital Warrants resulted in a $420,000 loss as the fair value of the warrants on the conversion date resulted in a approximately $1.9 million liability, exceeding the $1.5 million principal amount obtained from the note. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Working Capital Warrants was approximately $1.2 million.

Other Related Party Transactions

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has a balance of $517,403 and $224,750, respectively, due to parties affiliated with the Sponsor, directors and officers of the Company. The amounts owed are attributable to the administrative services agreement, reimbursable expenses related to the Initial Public Offering process and search for a Business Combination, and certain invoices paid by related parties on the Company’s behalf.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement that will provide that, commencing on the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on the NYSE through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company will pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company. The Company incurred $120,000 and $30,000 in these fees for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from August 18, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $120,000 and $30,000, respectively, were included as amounts due to related party in the accompanying balance sheets with respect to such fees.

In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, officers, directors, or any of their respective affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account.
