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 the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
|
●
|
in whole and not in part;
|
●
|
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
|
●
|
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

●
|
if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three
business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
|
●
|
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under
all applicable state securities laws.
|
●
|
in whole and not in part;
|
●

at a price of $0.10 per warrant;

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis
prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares; and

●
|
if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three

●
|
The risk-free interest rate assumption was interpolated based on constant maturity U.S. Treasury rates over a term commensurate with the expected term of the warrants.
|
|
●
|
The expected term was determined based on the expected date of the initial Business Combination, as the Warrants expire on the date that is 5 years from the completion of the initial
Business Combination and for certain Private Warrants 5 years from the date of the initial public offering effective date.
|
●
|
The expected volatility assumption was based on the implied volatility from a set of comparable publicly-traded warrants as determined based on size and proximity.
|
●
|
The fair value of the Units, which each consist of one Class A ordinary share and one-eighth of one Public
Warrant, represents the price paid in the Initial Public Offering.

Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial
